Africa: Alarming Rise Of Christian Persecution
 
In Africa, various Islamist groups are attacking and attempting to annihilate Christians for simply being Christian. If these crimes are not stopped, it is highly likely that the fate of the African Continent will be like that of the Middle East: Once it was a majority-Christian region; now, Christians are a tiny, dying, defenseless minority.

Yes, Our Global Climate Is Changing Rapidly, And No, There Is Nothing You Can Do About It And There Is No Power On Earth That Can Stop It

Yes, Our Global Climate Is Changing Rapidly, And No, There Is Nothing You Can Do About It And There Is No Power On Earth That Can Stop It

Climate Change Cannot Be Stopped

Climate change is real, the Earth is very much alive, and it's looking and listening for the signs of the coming King and getting itself ready. Does that sound like an odd notion to you?

The headlines this week have been literally, pardon the pun, on fire with talk about all the intense weather that has been sweeping not just across America, but all over Europe as well. Yahoo News said "Europe sweltered Saturday on the sixth day of a widespread and deadly 114.6 degrees Fahrenheit heat wave". The Weather Channel said "France had set a new all-time June record high on Thursday, when Grospierres recorded a high of 108.1 degrees. Previously, the highest fully reliable June temperature in France was 106.7 degrees at Lezignan-Corbieres on June 21, 2003, according to Etienne Kapikian, a meteorologist at Météo-France." Climate change, you say? Global warming, is it? Yes, yes...and a whole lot more than that.
"And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." Matthew 24:3-8 (KJV)
The great 24th chapter of the gospel of Matthew is the definitive section in the Bible that tells us what will be happening on this Earth during the time of Jacob's trouble in the days after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church takes place. Jesus says that that time period will be as it was in the 'days of Noah'. As we have previously told you here on NTEB, there was an event that kicked-off those days, and it was the one-man rapture of Enoch. This is the template for how it will be when the coming Church-wide rapture will kick off the time of Jacob's trouble, also known as the 70th Week of Daniel.
In Matthew 24 Jesus gives this warning...
"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:)" Matthew 24:15 (KJV)
...and here is the section in Daniel that Jesus was directing our attention to:
"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." Daniel 9"27 (KJV)
So what we in the Church Age awaiting the Pretrib Rapture can take away from Matthew 24 written to the Tribulation Saints in the time of Jacob's trouble are the events that will be present at the time of the Rapture. And that is mainly drastic and obvious changes that will be taking place not only on the Earth, but in the Earth as well. Paul tells us about that here:
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body." Romans 8:18-23 (KJV)
This is what Jesus in Matthew 24 says will be taking place before the start of the time of Jacob's trouble, and that puts it squarely into our time, the Church Age. The Earth will begin to exhibit incredible changes inside, as well as on the outside. Why? Because its time for liberation is at hand, the countdown to the arrival of the King has begun! That's exactly what we are seeing right now, not just climate change but changes in Outer Space as well.

Here are a few recent headlines you might find interesting:

That is just the first half dozen headlines I saw, there are hundreds more, the Liberal climate alarmists are right that things are changing rapidly. But they are oh-so-very wrong on the reason why, unsaved people are simply unable to wrap their heads around this Bible truth. The Earth is very much alive, and it's looking and listening for the signs of the coming King and getting itself ready. Does that sound like an odd notion to you? If so, please read the following.

The Bible Says The Earth Is Very Much Alive, Awake And Waiting For The Coming King:

  • THE BIBLE SAYS THAT STONES CAN TALK: Jesus was not using metaphorical language, but plainly declaring that stones can speak if He commands them to. And why not? The Bible tells us that "all things" were created by Him.  "And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." Luke 19:39,40 (KJV)
  • THE BIBLE SAYS THAT TREES CAN CLAP THEIR HANDS: This amazing verse will be fulfilled literally during the Millennial Kingdom of King Jesus. The hills "are alive with the sound of music" indeed! "For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12 (KJV)
  • THE BIBLE SAYS THE PHYSICAL EARTH WILL REJOICE: Here is another verse showing that the physical Earth will rejoice, literally, when the King cometh. How is this possible? Because it is ALIVE and able to recognize its Creator! Can yourecognize your Creator as well as the Earth can? Hmm, you might want to think about that before answering. "Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth."Psalm 96:10-13 (KJV)
  • THE BIBLE SAYS THE EARTH HAS A LANGUAGE: Again, this is not metaphoric language, God is telling us some of the 'deep secrets' of this planet He has placed us on. Note carefully the end of this passage talking about a "bridegroom coming out of His chamber", a clear Second Coming reference. This Earth in the Millennial Reign is going to be a wild place to be, can't wait! "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race." Psalm 19:1-5 (KJV)
  • THE BIBLE SAYS THAT ANIMALS GIVE GOD THE GLORY: Why would the animals care that God provides water for His chosen people, the Jews? Because they are smart enough to give God the glory. Are you that smart? "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. The beast of the field shall honour me, the dragons and the owls: because I give waters in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen." Isaiah 43:19,20 (KJV)
  • THE BIBLE SAYS THAT MAN WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO DESTROY THE EARTH: Are you worried that man will somehow find a way either through war or pollution to destroy the Earth? God who lives outside of time is already ahead of you. These verses show plainly that God will be righteous when He sends Judgment on the Earth, and that He will stop all those who plan on destroying it.  "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth. And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail." Revelation 11:18,19 (KJV)
Is our climate changing drastically, yes, it surely is, and it is doing it at the command of Jesus Christ. The changes are taking place in preparation of the coming judgment on the whole world that will take place in the time of Jacob's trouble. What can mankind do to stop it? Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada, Zip. But there is something you can do to prepare for it.
IF YOU ARE SAVED, you can prepare for this time by witnessing the gospel of the grace of God to as many people as you possibly can. Get some gospel tracts, witness to your friends and neighbors, tell them about the coming Pretribulation Rapture and how they can be a part of it.
IF YOU ARE LOST, you are in deep, deep trouble right here and right now. Not only will you miss the Rapture of the Church, you will be left behind to face Antichrist in the time of Jacob's trouble. I posted the below Bible verses for you to consider, and you can read more about that here.
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 6:23 (KJV)
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment” Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:8 (KJV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16 (KJV)

US Central Command Orders A Fleet Of F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighters To Middle East As Threat From Iran Continues To Build Towards Military Conflict

by Geoffrey Grider

Nearly a dozen Air Force F-22 stealth fighters have deployed to the Persian Gulf state of Qatar, part of a force buildup requested by U.S. Central Command in May in response to what it called heightened Iranian threats against American forces in the region.

Nearly a dozen Air Force F-22 stealth fighters have deployed to the Persian Gulf state of Qatar, part of a force buildup requested by U.S. Central Command in May in response to what it called heightened Iranian threats against American forces in the region.

If you think this current situation in Iran is going to just go away any time soon, you would be quite mistaken. The United States as of this writing now has a massive buildup of military force in and around the Persian Gulf. It is not only expensive to use that equipment in battle, but even just sending it there is an incredibly expensive proposition. What we have there now well exceeds any type of mere sabre rattling or muscle flexing.

Additional US fighter planes sent to Gulf amid Iran tensions

FROM THE AP: The Air Force arm of U.S. Central Command on Friday said the F-22 Raptors arrived this week at al-Udeid air base to “defend American forces and interests.” It posted to its website photos of several F-22s arriving there on Thursday and said this is the first time F-22s have deployed to al-Udeid, which is a hub for U.S. air operations in the Middle East.
F-22s, which carry air-to-air missiles and can perform ground-attack missions as well, had previously deployed to al-Dhafra air base in the United Arab Emirates, where they were used last year in support of U.S. and partner forces in Syria.
Four B-52 strategic bombers were deployed to al-Udeid days after a May 5 White House announcement that the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group also was being rushed to the region in response to “troubling and escalatory indications and warnings” and as a “message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”
At the request of Gen. Frank McKenzie, commander of Central Command, additional Patriot air-and-missile defense systems also were sent to the Gulf region in recent weeks. He also is receiving additional surveillance and intelligence-gathering aircraft to improve the military’s ability to monitor potential Iranian threats against shipping in the Gulf area. READ MORE

Meet The F-22 Raptor Stealth Fighter Jet

The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine, all-weather stealth tactical fighter aircraft developed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The result of the USAF's Advanced Tactical Fighter program, the aircraft was designed primarily as an air superiority fighter, but also has ground attack, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence capabilities. The prime contractor, Lockheed Martin, built most of the F-22's airframe and weapons systems and did its final assembly, while Boeing provided the wings, aft fuselage, avionics integration, and training systems.

Palestinians Unleash Largest-Ever Barrage Of Incendiary Balloons From Gaza Strip On Southern Israel Sparking Dozens Of Fires Throughout The Area

Palestinians Unleash Largest-Ever Barrage Of Incendiary Balloons From Gaza Strip On Southern Israel Sparking Dozens Of Fires Throughout The Area

by Geoffrey Grider

Gaza incendiary balloons spark dozens of fires in southern Israel

Massive waves of balloon-borne incendiary devices were launched from the Gaza Strip into southern Israel throughout Thursday, sparking over two dozen fires throughout the area, according to estimates by Israeli authorities.

Can you imagine for a moment what the reaction from the United Nations might be if Israel launched 49 incendiary balloon attacks on the Gaza Strip in a 24-hour period? Why they would call an immediate emergency session, condemn the attacks, and send in UN Peacekeeping Forces to restore order. But Israel did not do that, the Palestinians did, and the silence coming out of the United Nations is absolutely deafening.
There are two standards of justice in the Middle East that contains one set of rules of conduct for Israel and another set for everyone else. This is why Israel does not consult with other nations when they have trouble, and when attacked, they strike back without ever once seeking anyone's permission or approval. They know they wouldn't get it anyway.

Gaza incendiary balloons spark dozens of fires in southern Israel

FROM TIMES OF ISRAEL: The rash of arson attacks put Thursday on pace to see the largest number of fires started by Gazan balloons in a single day since Palestinians began launching airborne incendiary devices over a year ago.
According to the Fire and Rescue Services and local governments, at least 30 fires of varying sizes had been started in southern Israel throughout Thursday, including 17 large ones that were confirmed by investigators to have been started by arson balloons. Firefighters from Fire and Rescue Services, the military, Jewish National Fund, the Parks Authority and local volunteers were all called in to assist in the effort to extinguish the blazes.
Since Sunday, there have been approximately 100 fires started by balloon-borne arson devices, according to figures from the local fire department.
There have been no injuries reported in these blazes, most of which have occurred in agricultural fields and grasslands, but they have caused significant damage to crops and wildlife. Several fires were also reported inside Israeli communities in the Sha’ar Hanegev, Sdot Negev and Eshkol regions.
A balloon-borne incendiary device also landed just outside a home in the Eshkol region, where it was quickly extinguished before the fire could spread, an Eshkol spokesperson said.
As of Thursday evening, there was no response by the military or government to the day’s fires. On Tuesday, Israel cut fuel supplies to Gaza’s power plant in a punitive measure against the uptick in fire balloons.
MK Alon Shuster, a Blue and White lawmaker from Kibbutz Mefalsim, where a balloon from Gaza sparked a fire on Thursday, accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of ignoring the incendiary attacks.
“The fire has reached inside Kibbutz Mefalsim,” he said in a statement. “Soldiers, security officials, firefighters and kibbutz members are working to put it out. But we get the impression that Netanyahu doesn’t care at all.”
He added: “The resilience of the residents of the south will weather any challenge, but the neglect by the Israeli government has reached the point of criminal negligence, and it’s time that someone said so.”
Arson attacks have picked up considerably in the past week, with teams affiliated with the Gaza-ruling Hamas terror group launching hundreds of helium-inflated balloons and condoms carrying incendiary devices and, in some cases, explosives across the border into Israel.
In general, the incendiary devices consist of a burning piece of burlap or other fabric soaked in fuel, which is connected to one or several balloons. There have also been cases of larger clusters of balloons carrying model drones and small bombs being launched toward Israel. The easterly winds coming off the Mediterranean Sea push the balloons into Israeli territory.
In response to the ongoing attacks, which represent a breach of an unofficial ceasefire agreement between Israel and terror groups in the Strip, Israel halted the flow of gasoline and diesel fuel into the Gaza Strip Tuesday, a move which drew criticism from human rights advocates, who condemned it as collective punishment.
On Wednesday, incendiary balloons from the Gaza Strip started 19 fires in southern Israel, according to the local fire department. READ MORE

LITTLE MONSTERS: Joel And Victoria Osteen Are Honored Guests At Lady Gaga SiriusXM And Pandora Pride Concert In New York City On Monday

by Geoffrey Grider
Joel and Victoria Osteen Attend Lady Gaga Concert, Pose for Sirius/Pandora Merger

Megachurch false teacher Joel Osteen and his wife Victoria were among a number of celebrities, including drag queens, actors and music industry personalities, who attended the “SiriusXM and Pandora Present Lady Gaga at the Apollo” concert on Monday night in New York City. The two posed on the carpet for a photograph next to a SiriusXM/Pandora/Lady Gaga backdrop

Joel Osteen has fallen so far down into apostasy that his seared conscience doesn't even alert him anymore when trouble is on the horizon, such was the case on Monday night at the SiriusXM and Pandora merger event in New York City. Joel and his wife Victoria were in attendance at the Lady Gaga Pride concert featuring drag queens, amazingly foul language and the endless glorification of the LGBTQ+P for Pedophile agenda. It seems that the Osteens had no problems at all attending such an event, which is not surprising considering how they have been creeping ever closer to supporting same-sex marriage.
"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret." Ephesian 5:11,12 (KJV)
It is only a matter of time before Joel Osteen officially comes out of his own religious closet with full support for the LGBTQ+P for Pedophile community, why else do you think that his Lakewood Church has such a big gay following? They know that, despite his pusillanimous statements that 'homosexuality is a sin' that Joel Osteen is actually a supporter of the LGBTQ+ and has been for sometime. There is no other way to explain his presence at the Lady Gaga filth and perversion show, no way at all.
Joel Osteen has graduated, he has moved from merely being a false teacher and preacher of the word of God, to becoming a member in good standing with the Hollywood satanists we constantly warn you about. Lady Gaga calls her followers 'little monsters' and that is exactly what Joel and Victoria Osteen have become. If you can read this article and still happily attend Lakewood Church or listen to his 'preaching' online, it is likely you have never been born again.

Joel Osteen Parties With Lady Gaga At NYC Pride Show

FROM CHRISTIAN NEWS: “Are you ready to [expletive] party tonight? Are we making history?” Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, asked the crowd as she opened the show, according to the New York Daily News.
The popular music streaming companies had announced last month that they would be presenting the “special performance” to “celebrate SiriusXM and Pandora coming together as one company.” They also noted that the concert “coincides with World Pride Month, which this year is being celebrated in New York City.”
The Daily News reports that Germanotta “performed a selection of her most beloved hits dancing around, in a most homoerotic latex fantasy, dropping F-bombs and getting tips from the future by speaking to an ‘Avatar’-like Gaga figure.”
She also spoke of her advocacy for those who identify as homosexuals and transgenders, telling the crowd, “So, it’s Pride Week. I wish it could exist 365 days of the year, but I’ll take an [expletive] global week.”
Germanotta urged those in the theater and around the world to “[a]sk the question: ‘What is your pronoun?’ Because for a lot of people, it’s really hard, and their pronouns aren’t respected or they’re not asked.”
As previously reported, Germanotta, whose music videos and concerts are often performed in little clothing and are sexually suggestive, sings about homosexuality in her song “Born This Way.”
“A different lover is not a sin, believe capital H-I-M,” the tune claims. “No matter gay, straight or bi, lesbian, transgendered life, I’m on the right track baby, I was born to survive. … I’m beautiful in my way, ’cause God makes no mistakes.”
A number of drag queens attended the invitation-only event, including Alaska Thunder[expletive] (Justin Honard), Ginger Minj (Joshua Eads), Sharon Needles (Aaron Coady), Aquaria (Giovanni Palandrani) and Shangela Wadley (Darius Pierce) of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

Other attendees included American Idol’s Adam Lambert, Saturday Night Live’s Heidi Gardner, actor Michael Douglas, and Neil Patrick Harris and his “husband” David Burtka.

And in the midst of those photographed were Joel and Victoria Osteen, who posed like the others adjacent to the Pandora/SiriusXM/Lady Gaga backdrop. The Osteens have their own channel on SiriusXM, which according to its description, features “daily messages of hope and inspiration, live call-in shows and with Joel and Victoria, and special live services.” Being connected to the network is likely the reason why they were invited to the event.
Christian News contacted Joel Osteen Ministries to inquire about the appearance, but was told by a representative that she didn’t know anything about the matter as she had just learned of it and that any statement would have to come from Joel himself.
Some outlets expressed bewilderment as to why the Osteens attended since it was assumed that he opposes homosexuality, which Gaga advocates.
As previously reported, Osteen drew criticism in 2013 when he told the Huffington Post that God accepts homosexuals without also mentioning the requirement of repentance.
“You say in your book … ‘It doesn’t matter who likes you or doesn’t like you; all that matters is that God likes you. He accepts you; He approves of you,” host Josh Zepps stated. “Is that true for gay men or true for homosexuals?”
“Absolutely,” Osteen replied. “I believe that God’s breathed His life into every person. We’re all on a journey. Nobody’s perfect.”
“The Bible says that sin is pride, sin is selfish ambition,” he continued. “We tend to pick on certain things, but I believe every person is made in the image of God, and you’ve got to accept them as they are as they’re on their journey.”
Osteen then explained his belief that Christians should exemplify kindness to the world, rather than “pushing people down.”
“Again, the Scripture teaches the way people are going to know His disciples is for our love for one another, and so, I’m not preaching hate [or] pushing people down,” he stated. “I’m not here to tell everybody what they’re doing wrong.” READ MORE

Joel Osteen, who is known for his effervescent personality and sunny disposition in nearly all matters, says he is not cheating people by not preaching about hell.

The number one reason why anyone should ever want to be saved can be summed up in one word - Hell. Because of Hell, Jesus went to the cross and made a payment to set you free if you would only take it. Because of Hell, God commands believers to take the message of salvation to a lost and dying world. What sends you to Hell? Unpaid sin in your life. But Joel Osteen refuses to tell people about Hell because he wants them to be "uplifted" and "feel positive".
