Revelation 6:8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

Russian tanks heading towards the Ukraine
It appears that Putin believes that Obama and the Western Europeans are so weak that it is now time to move. The West did nothing after the Russians shot down the jet killing 300 people. Obama’s weakness directly leads to aggression like this. Putin has no fear of Obama and America, and why should he?
What is Obama going to do? Putin is going to push until he is stopped.
You are now looking at the possibility of World War 3 starting at any time. Putin will gently push and increase the invasion until he is challenged. Obama is so incompetent that anything he does now is just going to make it worse.
Remember, that 100 years ago, right now, the Russian army moved west into Germany and on August 26, 1914 began theBattle of Tannenberg! This was the first major battle of the war. The Germans destroyed the Russian army and sent it reeling back towards Russia . Look what is happening right now! It is the Russian army once again heading west and the start of WW1. This time I believe that Russia is going to succeed in Europe, only to be destroyed on the Mountains of Israel.
“A top Ukrainian army officer said a “full-scale invasion” of his country was under way Thursday, as a U.S. official said up to 1,000 Russian troops had crossed Ukraine’s southern border to fight alongside pro-Russian rebels. U.S. officials said Russian troops were directly involved in the latest fighting, despite Moscow’s denials.Rebels backed by Russian tanks and armored personnel carriers fought Ukrainian forces on two fronts Thursday: southeast of rebel-held Donetsk, and along the nation’s southern coast in the town of Novoazovsk, about 12 miles (20 km) from the Russian border, according to Mykhailo Lysenko, the deputy commander of the Ukrainian Donbas battalion. “This is a full-scale invasion,” Lysenko said, referring to the fighting in the south.”
As events in the Middle East with Israel and now with Russia in Europe are exploding right before our eyes, now is the time to use God’s prophetic scriptures to win souls to Jesus.
Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament;and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
And that number, if accurate, only reflects the totals in Iraq and Syria. It does not include aspiring “members” across the globe who either sympathize with, or have already pledged allegiance to obey, the ISIS caliphate …
Hadith, Muslim 1844, 1851, “Whoever gives his oath of allegiance to a leader and gives him his hand and his heart, let him obey him as much as he can … Whoever dies and did not make an oath of allegiance (to the Muslim leader) has died a death of jaahiliyyah [like an ignorant non-Muslim in pre-Islamic times]” – The “Prophet” Mohammed
By Riyadh Mohammed, Mashable – “The Islamic State, the radical group which has cut a bloody path through Syria and Iraq in recent months, slaying civilians and security forces, and executing the American journalist James Foley on camera, has even more followers than previously believed, according to Iraqi security sources.
While western diplomats and other observers have estimated the number of militants number between 20,000 to 50,000, Hisham al-Hashimi, a security expert in Baghdad, said that the total membership of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria may now be closer to 100,000 members.
If true, the numbers suggest that the militant organization is growing by leaps and bounds as it conquers territory in the region.
According to Hashimi, a key event in terms of adding more people to its rank was the group’s capture of Mosul in June. The northern Iraqi city is a Sunni stronghold, home to many former officers in Saddam Hussein’s army who have opposed the Shiite-dominated government in Baghdad. And while some people were forced to enlist, others seem to have voluntarily taken up arms.
As a researcher who occasionally gives advice to the Iraqi security forces, Hashimi has had access to hundreds of memory drives recovered by Iraqi security forces at the home of the second-in-command of the Islamic state and other Iraqi intelligence as well as researchers on the ground in Iraq.
‘The Islamic State didn’t come from nowhere,’ said Hashimi who has been studying the group for years. ‘It is an extension of groups that existed before — historically and ideologically.’
Hashimi’s estimate was seconded by Ibrahim al-Sumaidaei, a political analyst, currently based in Amman, Jordan.
‘The Islamic State’s members have multiplied in a very dangerous way,’ said Sumaidaei, a former intelligence officer. ‘Having plenty of arms and funding has made the Islamic State swallow the fighters of the other Sunni insurgent groups.’ Sumaidaei added that many of the members may not be ‘active duty.’
In addition to foot soldiers, the Islamic State has also attracted a number of former high level army officers from Saddam Hussein’s Baathist regime, said Hashimi. (Many Baathists fought American troops after the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.)
‘Most of those who joined — and I know them personally — are either former army officers or their sons,’ said Salem Aljomaily, a security expert and a former intelligence officer. In terms of how the new recruits are organized, Aljomaily said that ‘the high ranking officers are the military planners, and their sons and the younger officers are being used as fighters.'” Read more.

Flashback: Terrorism Without End: ‘Islam … Is A War Machine Whose Ideas Lubricate The Recruitment’ - “There are many today who recognize that the Islamist ideology espoused by Al Qaeda and its ilk has metastasized since 9/11 throughout the Muslim world. Unfortunately, the call to reality has largely fallen on the deaf ears of Western leadership. Nations can fight against armies, against a foe that is well defined, but a religious ideology that recognizes no borders, no limits, no definition of peace apart from its own is an ideology that no nation will ever defeat, and an ideology that will continue to become more mainstream each and every day until its fiery end at the epiphany of Christ Jesus in power and great glory …” Read more.
Flashback: Psychologist: ‘Islam Creates Monsters’ – “Danish psychologist Nicolai Sennels, an expert in working with Muslim youth criminal offenders, has written a new book entitled Among Criminal Muslims. A Psychologist’s Experience from the Copenhagen Municipality, and in an essay supporting the book, he claims that ‘Islam creates monsters.’ A recent study out of Germany supports Sennels’ statement. It found that devout Muslims were more prone to violence than the non-Muslim participants in the study. Sennels says Islam is different from other religions because the way it is taught brainwashes its youth with violent messages. Parents inflict violence on their children repeatedly, Sennels claims, and at the same time, deliver religious ideology. He says this behavior makes Muslim extremists far more violent than extremists of other religious faiths.” Read more.
Flashback: Psychiatrist: Muslims Are Violent Because Of Islam, ‘They Simply Cannot See That What They Have Done Is Wrong’ – “Radical Islamism is a real and growing threat to Danish society and it is time that politicians wake up. So says forensic psychiatrist and author Henrik Day Poulsen … ‘When we examine the criminal migrant youth, Islamism quite often plays a role. They have been inculcated a totally distorted worldview in which it is directly or indirectly ok to commit violence or rob a bank, because the whole life is a battle between Denmark and Islam, where they are on the good side. And when they are arrested and punished, they think again, it is an expression of that struggle. That it is because of racism. They simply cannot see that what they have done is wrong…'” Read more.
In the wake of reports that two American citizens were killed recently fighting alongside ISIS in Syria, I appeared on the 700 Club today to discuss the ISIS threat to America and how this brutal terrorist army is getting its funding.
The segment starts around the 1:54 mark, after a report from my CBN News colleague Mark Martin.
A new English-language Al Qaeda magazine features a how-to article on making car bombs and suggests terror targets in the United States, including casinos in Las Vegas, oil tankers and military colleges, and implies that an attack is imminent.
The online publication, called “Palestine-Betrayal of the Guilty Conscience Al-Malahem” and put out by the media arm of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, calls for Muslims around the world to follow “the recipe” provided to set off car bombs in crowded venues. It includes a timeline of "selected jihadi operations" that the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which first flagged the slickly-produced latest edition of the terror publication, finds chilling.
“The timeline concludes with the date 201?’ and blank spaces and question marks for the photo and information of the next attack -- implying that it is coming soon.” said MEMRI Executive Director Steve Stalinsky.
There is a suggested list of targets for lone-wolf, or individually executed, terror attacks, including New York's Times Square, casinos and night clubs in Las Vegas, oil tankers and trains, the Georgia Military College, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and General Atomics defense contractor in San Diego.
“This recipe gives you the ability to make a car bomb even in countries with tight security and surveillance,” one article reads, before providing a “shopping list” of supplies needed to make such a bomb, including cooking gas, oxygen gas, a barometer, decoration lamps and matches.
There is also a list of targets in Britain including a military academy and the Marks and Spencers chain of department stores. The magazine calls for the stores to be hit on Friday during prayers so that Muslims won’t be affected.
Globally, AQAP calls for the targeting of tourist resorts frequented by Israelis, Britons and Americans.
In a nine-page spread entitled, “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom,” the magazine details a do-it-yourself, illustrated guide on assembling a pressure-cooker bomb similar to the ones used in the Boston Marathon bombings.
“My Muslim brother, before you start reading the instructions, remember that this type of operation if prepared well and an appropriate target is chosen and Allah decrees success for you, history will never forget it. It will be recorded as a crushing defeat on the enemies of Islam,” the article says.
The “Palestine” magazine is a spin-off of AQAP's Inspire magazine, which mainly encourages and instructs jihadi recruits to carry out lone-wolf attack in the West. This new magazine is meant to play upon the recent anti-Israel and anti-U.S. sentiments brought about by the conflict between Hamas and Israel.
“Both AQAP and IS, as well as every other Al-Qaeda branch and offshoot is relying on U.S. social media companies including Twitter and YouTube for their cyber-Jihad efforts,” said Stalinsky, whose organization monitors the online and media activity of Jihadi groups and reported on the release of this publication.
This list comes as U.S. intelligence investigates the increased chances of a terror attack on American soil as Islamic State militants continue on their rampage in Iraq and Syria.
On Tuesday, the Pentagon confirmed reports of the death on a Syrian battlefield of American Douglas McCain, of San Diego, who was recruited to Syria to fight for IS.Now, the Free Syrian Army is reporting that a second American may have died in the same battle.
“There could be some envy by AQAP that IS is now getting all the headlines,” Stalinsky said in response to the probability of an Al Qaeda-backed attack.

In an amazing coverage that just came out today that was published throughout the Muslim world, including even CNN Arabic Version, The Chairman of the International Union for Muslim Scholars, Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi which his union represents the largest body of Muslim scholars worldwide and on their behalf just announced in Turkey that:
“The Caliphate in today’s age must be established through a number of several states that are governed by Shariah and supported by both, the rulers and the people in the form of a federation or confederation and not as it was in the past.”
By this, the Muslim union of scholars lead by Qaradawi is setting up the theological precedence by announcing that a future confederacy of Muslim nations must and will be established and centered in the land of the Muslim Caliphate in Turkey.
The interview in Arabic which we need time to translate can be seen here:
What Qaradawi is speaking of should be seriously noted since the interpretation of the prophecy of a future confederacy of ten-nations is found in four major passages of Scripture and is a determinative issue in any system of prophetic interpretation and are the key to the total prophetic outlook regarding this emerging Antichrist confederacy of different states mentioned in at least four major Scripture passages (Dan 2:31-35, 40-45; 7:7-8, 19-24; Rev 13:1-2; 17:3, 7, 12-16).
These passages either directly or by implication prophesy a ten-kingdom confederation, which will be an important aspect of the end-time political situation.
What we see here is the beginning embryo and birth of a grand idea set by between Erdogan and the spiritual head of the Sunni Muslim world in which its declared that such confederacy for the Caliphate will be established in Istanbul, Turkey as the center for all these different states which must be seen and we translated for you here:
Qaradawi is pointing to the problem that since Muslims are scattered in so many different states, that it would be impossible to include the coming Caliphate as one state as in the times of old. He gave an example:
“There are big countries such as China, which has a population of about 1.5 billion, according to the statistics, in a time when the number of Muslims in the world about 1.7 billion, and thus could meet in the form of the Union.”
During the interview with the Turkish media agency “Anatolia” in Istanbul, Qaradawi believed that the “militant groups like ISIS that appear among the Muslims is the result of the corruption by secular rulers in which caused Muslim youth to follow some militants, believing that they are simply fighting for the sake of God and disbelieve, yet such movements still represent is a major problem which the new Caliphate from Turkey will resolve” adding that: “the succession announced by the organization of Islamic state (ISIS) in both Iraq and Syria have no meaning and do not meet the required conditions to be a Caliphate”.
As Shoebat.com noted last week, Qaradawi is speaking of a sign of the end of the world when he declared that the “angelic host will soon descend on earth” after this establishment of the coming Caliphate in Turkey since from a Christian perspective this is the casting of the fallen angels which Daniel the prophet spoke about the minions of the Luminous One, Lucifer are finally cast out. This is also declared as a holy event in the Qur’ân’s Night of Vision (Muhammad’s visitation):
“The angelic hosts descend [to earth] in it with the spirit by command of the their Lord. Peace shall it be until the rising of the Dawn (Morning star).” (Q 97)
Who is this ‘spirit’ and how is Allah the lord of angels and spirits? According to Muslims this ‘spirit’ or ‘the holy spirit’ is an Arch Angel. In the ends of days, angels will also descend on earth.
We have written of this decades ago, when I was a Muslim this is a holy moment much hoped for and is prophetically proclaimed from the inception of the Quran, but when I became Christian, this Islamic prophecy confirmed to me what the Bible prophesied about God casting the devil out unto earth:
“And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.” (Revelation 12:17)
At this heavenly incident, when the fallen angles (demons) are finally cast out, that Lucifer will possess the Antichrist and the fallen angels will possess the minions of Antichrist (see Isaiah 14, Ezekiel 28) in which his confederacy of nations that are all specifically mentioned by name (read Ezekiel 28-31) are finally thrown into the pit. These are Sudan (Cush) and North African states(Phut) Lydia (Turkey) and all Arabia and Egypt (see Ezekiel 30:5). They also include Asshur (Iraq – Syria), (see Ezekiel 32:22-23) and Elam (Iran) (see Ezekiel 32:24-25) and Meshech & Tubal (Asia minor which includes the Southern Russian Muslim states) (see Ezekiel 32:26) and the harlot (Arabia) (see Ezekiel 32:29, also see Ezekiel 25).
Qaradawi is currently paving the way for Turkey to ultimately invade it Egypt:
“He will extend his power over many countries; Egypt will not escape. He will gain control of the treasures of gold and silver and all the riches of Egypt, with the Libyans and Cushitese in submission.” (Daniel 11:42)
As we stated decades ago in our book Why I Left Jihad and after that in God’s War on Terror that the new emerging Mediterranean confederacy will be the “bruised head,” the arising “sick man of Europe,” the “wounded beast” that is coming back to life under the Turkish Neo-Ottoman revival. It constitutes the Revival of the Roman Empire as well as the Grecian, Babylonian, Medo-Persian and Egyptian, altogether.
Let us be all be wrong and Christ alone be right when He said that Pergamum (Turkey) and not Rome, by this Christ was telling Turkey: “thou art the seat of Satan (Antichrist)”:
Below is a special video I want you to watch. For those of you who have seen news reports of the persecution and political turmoil taking place in Iraq, this is an explanation of who ISIS is.
Last week I joined my son Joshua, Executive Vice President of Leading The Way, in the studio to put together a special video addressing the many questions we were receiving about what's happening in Iraq. I hope it will help you better understand what is going on in the Middle East and what we as Christians can do.

An interview with Dan Gordon: screenplay writer and a Captain in the IDF reserves -- just back from Israel
Watchers TV sat down for an exclusive interview with Dan Gordon. Dan is a Captain in the IDF reserves and holds both US and Israeli citizenship. You will want to watch this and perhaps forward the link to your friends. Dan makes it very clear what the average Israeli citizen lives with on a daily basis. He has just returned from Israeli and his insight is both erudite and sobering.
Dan points out that HAMAS has broken every truce by firing rockets into Israel. He also explains what happens when rockets are fired and how much time the average Israeli has to get into or find shelter.
You won’t find this on the CNN or the 6-o-clock news!
He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.
Commentary
Isaiah 1:4-7 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment. Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
Gov Brown declaring disaster area less than 48 hours after abortion ruling
Sunday morning a 6.1 earthquake hit Northern California just above San Francisco. This was the most powerful earthquake to hit the area in 25 years. The fault that broke and caused the damage was not active and caught the scientists by surprise. I have been waiting for large earthquakes to strike California as the state is given over to abortion and homosexuality.
On this blog I have documented on many occasions how the record-breaking drought destroying California is tied into the homosexual agenda along with many of the huge forest fires. What I found with this earthquake is that it occurred within 48 hours after a major pro abortion decision in the state. The decision was announced on Friday that all medical insurance companies must provide abortion coverage with no exceptions.
This powerful earthquake hit early Sunday morning. The quake struck the very heart of the wine industry causing damages estimated up to $4 billion. I believe the sequence of complete destructive disasters has now started in California. This state has done everything to provoke God's judgment. The LORD is merciful, but there is no end in sight to the rebellion of this state along with the deadness of the church. How many more babies is God going to let die at the hands of the abortionists? How much further is He going to allow the homosexual agenda advance, until His holiness demands judgment?
The unrelenting epic drought and now the earthquake in the heart of wine country, shows what judgments this state is in for. God will not be mocked.
Psalm 107:34,35 A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickednessof them that dwell therein. He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
God's Final Warning to California/America
Massive destruction wineries
Napa Quake Seen Costing Up to $4 Billion as Wineries Closed 08/25/14 The earthquake occurred on August 24, just two days after California forced all medical insurance companies to cover abortion. The state forced abortion, and within 48 hours a state of emergency was declared because of the earthquake. This quake was the worst in 25 years.
"The earthquake that struck northern California yesterday will lead to economic losses of as much as $4 billion, fueled by damaged wineries and shuttered businesses that rely on tourists.
The temblor, the strongest in Northern California in 25 years, hit the Napa region north of San Francisco at about 3:20 a.m.local time Sunday, crumpling historic buildings, cracking roads and injuring more than 200 people. The quake left many in the region without power and water, and California Governor Jerry Brown declared the zone a disaster area."
A women's rights victory as California nixes an attack on abortion coverage 08/25/14 This state is entrenched in killing babies. This state is given over to killing, while for the most part the church is powerless. I wonder how many pastors in California fear the LORD about the babies being killed in the state? This is just business as usual in California, but the Holy God of Israel is well aware of each baby that was killed. "Payday" is not far off for California.
"The move by the Department of Managed Health Care is one of the strongest statements in favor of women's reproductive health rights you're likely to hear from officials of any state, at a time when those rights are under systematic attack. So it's proper to pay attention. On Friday, the DMHC informed the state's major health insurers by letter that provisions in health plans eliminating coverage of "voluntary" or "elective" abortions, or limiting coverage only to "medically necessary" abortions, violate state law and the state constitution. A copy of the letter--this version sent to Anthem Blue Cross--can be found here. It says health plans in California are prohibited from "discriminating against women who choose to terminate a pregnancy. Thus, all health plans must treat maternity services and legal abortion neutrally." DMHC director Michelle Rouillard ordered such "discriminatory coverage exclusions and limitations" to be stricken from the health plans immediately."
Drought leaves California homes without water 08/23/14 This is just the beginning. God is now systematically destroying this state. I think that God is going to make California an example to the world of His righteous judgments on wanton rebellion against His word.
"The severe drought gripping the western United States in recent years is changing the landscape well beyond localized effects of water restrictions and browning lawns. Scientists have used GPS data to discover that the growing, broad-scale loss of water is causing the entire western US to rise up like an uncoiled spring."
1Thess 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.
Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. More Earthquakes, more sinkholes, and strange noises being heard around the world... Linda Moulton Howe explains a scary discovery which could mean disaster. Could this discovery be the earth experiencing birth pangs? Remember Linda is talking about an increase in Earthquakes and Volcanic activities. Jesus speaks of this very thing in the book of Matthew. "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom (Various wars being played out as we speak), and in various places there will be famines (Various plagues especially Ebola are increasing) and earthquakes. 8"But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.
Could God be warning the world that he is about to unleash prophecy on a scale never seen before? Is the earth entering a phase of end time prophecy? We are being warned and what sounds like trumpets emitting out of the sky seems to be heard around the world. Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble : for the day of the LORD cometh , for it is nigh at hand.
What are we to make of all of these strange and odd events that are happening all over the world on a daily basis? Could all of these Phenomenon somehow be related and could it be casting a warning for the world to wake up? Is God trying to get our attention before it’s too late? Will you turn your face away if God is trying to warn you of the impending danger. Jeremiah 6: 17 “Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.”
Something strange is indeed going on around the world. They consist of strange sounds from the sky, Sinkholes, and an increase in Earthquake activity. They could all be link and the earth could be groaning in pain like one in child labor. The question is will you just pass this as some odd coincidence or will you listen to the Earth cry in pain. God is trying to warn us. He is calling out for the world to wake up. Are you willing to listen to God’s voice or will you turn your back on him in these very prophetic times? The choice is yours just don’t say you weren't warned about it. Matthew 24:42 - Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
