Many Countries Overthrown (CW73)

      Coming World War 3

Dan 11:41  "He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon."
   When the Antichrist called 'Jihad- against the West for the massacre of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iranian Muslim civilians by missiles, bombs, from the US Fifth Fleet, Muslims worldwide will rise up. After the Antichrist had conquered Israel and Jerusalem, killing and scattering the Jews, he will then proceed to attack the neighbouring Arab Sunni nations.

Many Countries Overthrown
There will be worldwide condemnation for this great atrocity against mankind, with Russia, China, India and many nations sending their forces to help and rescue Iran from the powerful and invincible West.
   Many Muslim nations too will join forces with the Antichrist to fight against the West - the big bully. These will be the former Russian Muslim nations together with Turkey, Yemen, Libya, Tunisia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Indonesia, and others.
   But Muslim nations which still support and fight alongside the West, will face rebellions, and the people will try to overthrow their governments for Iran. These will include Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Algeria, Morocco, etc.

The Kingdom of Jordan
Jordan is called the Hashemite Kingdom, because it is ruled by the Hashemite dynasty, which claims descent from the Islamic prophet, Mohammed. The Hashemite dynasty itself is named after Mohammed's great grandfather, Hashim. Jordan occupied the biblical lands of the Edomites, Moabites and part of the Ammonites. The rest of Ammon is in Saudi Arabia. Since the Hashemite king of Jordan is the direct descendant of Mohammed, the Antichrist will respect him as appointed by Allah. Jordan will not be attacked by the Antichrist.

Egypt Ransacked and Destroyed
Dan 11:42-43  "He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels."_
   The Antichrist will ransack Egypt causing great destruction and many deaths. Saudi Arabia which is responsible for producing many terrorist groups (like Al Qaeda and ISIS) that caused so much sufferings to mankind will be annihilated too. These groups are also responsible for persecuting and murdering many Christians (God's children), so this will be God's vengeance.

Warning – Since World War 3 is the last war before the rapture, Eze 38-39, Zac 12-14 and others found in the OT (except for Daniel) are mainly wars and events meant for the Jews only.

Judgement of Jerusalem (CW72)

   'Coming World War 3

Dan 11:41  " He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon."
   On 13 July 1878 at the Treaty of Berlin, the only British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli with Hebrew lineage, secured the control of the Middle East and Palestine. Immediately, he allowed Jews to buy land in Palestine. This started the call of 'Aliyah' back to rebuild Zion, the nation of Israel. Palestine then was mainly desert and wasteland, made desolate by God to give the land its Sabbath with a small population of 300K and only 5K Jews.
    Since 1878, when God called them to rebirth the nation of Israel, these rebellious Jews rejected His call and only a handful came back. Less than 20K out of 10 million of Jews in 1900 AD. God caused pogroms in Europe starting from 1880s in Russia. After millions of Jews were massacred by the Nazis in WW2, more Jews began to go back. By 1948 there were only 0.5 million Jews against 1.2 million Arabs in Palestine.
   Note: 2 million Jews entered the Promised Land with Joshua, yet Yahweh gave them the Promised Land gradually for fear of the wild animals.
   With such a small population of Jews, Yahweh could only give them a small piece of Palestine.
So in 1948, the British gave Israel the wilderness and deserts to form the new nation. Since then, the Arabs tried to drive the Israelites into the sea but God gave Israel victories after victories against great odds. In 1967, after the six-day war, God finally gave Israel all the Promised Land, which the feet of Joshua to King David had trodden upon, as their eternal inheritance.

Eze 15:6-8  "Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: 'Like the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so I will give up the inhabitants of Jerusalem; 'and I will set My face against them. They will go out from one fire, but another fire shall devour them. Then you shall know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them. 'Thus, I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness,' says the Lord GOD."
   The Jews saw God's deliverance again and again since 1948, and the fulfillment of prophecies that the deserts will become fertile orchards and farmlands. Yet, in 1993, they were faithless by signing the abominable Israel- PLO Peace Treaty. This Treaty required Israel to immediately cede Jericho (walls tumbled down), Gaza strip (David killed Goliath of Gaza) and the West Bank to its enemies. Giving away these lands showed that the Jews were atheists for they had reduced Yahweh and the OT to myths.

Luke 21:20-22, 24  "But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled...And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled."
   So, God will allow the Antichrist to conquer Israel and Jerusalem as the consequence of His vengeance against their abominable Israel-PLO Peace treaty, Unbelief, Gay Parades, fear of US and UN but not Yahweh, etc. Only those who are obedient to His words by fleeing into the mountains will keep their lives.

Are you Ready for WW3? (CW71)

        Coming World War 3

Beginning of World War 3
Dan 11-40  "At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through."
    As soon as the king of the South (Egypt supported by Saudi Arabia and the West) attacks Iran (king of the North), with Israel attacking Iran's nuclear sites, the Antichrist leading Iran, Iraq and Syria with demonic powers will send their missiles, fighter jets, bombers, to attack all Western military bases in the Middle East. Their numerous battleships will target the fifth Fleet. This is the beginning of World War 3.

Dan 11:30  "For ships from Chittim (Western nations) shall come against him; therefore, he shall be grieved, and return in rage against the holy covenant, and do damage. So he shall return and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant."
   The US Fifth Fleet stationed in the Arabian Sea will immediately send their missiles, bombers, fighter jets, to attack Iran to protect their military bases. The crafty Antichrist with satanic powers will divert all their enemies' missiles and bombs to populated cities killing hundreds of thousands of his own Iranian civilians. The whole world will blame and hate the West for targetting and killing so many innocent Muslim civilians. These will deceive all Muslim nations, including Russia, China, India, and many other nations to right the wrong by fighting along Iran extending WW3.
   The Antichrist will then call 'Jihad' against Christians (holy covenant) and the West. Muslims living in the West will be so devastated that they will sabotage and destroy their adopted countries. Military bases, arsenal and weaponry, power stations, storage, factories, businesses, ships, hospitals, high-rise buildings, transportation, cars, individuals, and everything in sight will be targeted. With the West in self-destruct mode, the Antichrist with its powerful allies will easily conquer all the neighbouring nations.

World War 3 in Matthew 24
Mat 24:6-7a  "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."
   Rumours of wars will come true and become wars. Rumours have been around for many years that Israel will attack Iran's nuclear sites. Iran had declared that the first nuclear bomb will be used to annihilate Israel and the second to annihilate Saudi Arabia. These wars will be intense and extensive worldwide so that it will be like the end of the world but the end is not yet. This is definitely World War 3.

World War 3 in the fourth Seal
Rev 6:6-7  When He opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come and see." So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death, and by the beasts of the earth.
   With the first three Seals fulfilled, we are expecting the fourth Seal, where a quarter of all men will be killed by wars, hunger, pestilences and plagues from animals. This must be World War 3.

So this 'Endtime War' in Dan 11, Mat 24:6-7, and the fourth Seal is the same 'World War 3, the last war before the rapture, when everyone will be living in peace and security (as found in 1 Thess 5:1-4).

Humility in God's Plan (CW70)

        Coming World War 3

Mat 18:4   "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."
    To be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven will require our humility in our complete obedience as little children to Him and His words, so that we can be transformed into His image. Let us look into the humility of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Luke 2:7-12  And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
    Our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God came in great humility as the sacrificial Lamb:-

1. Born in an animal shed as the Lamb of God.
John 1:14  And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

2. Covered in swaddling cloths as the sacrificial Lamb – all newly born lambs meant for sacrifices are wrapped with swaddling cloths to prevent them from blemishes.

3. Lay in the manger as food and water for His sheep – the manger is used for holding the feed and possibly water for feeding the sheep and also other livestock.
    John 6:48  "I am the bread of life."
    Our Lord Jesus is the bread of life and the living water and for our spiritual food. We only need to believe, read, understand and keep His words.

4. Shepherds testified the Birth of the Lamb of God
Luke 2:11-12   "For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."
   The shepherds were joyfully testifying about the birth of the Messiah (Christ) as the Lamb of God drawing parallels to the birth of their lambs.

Jam 4:6  But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
    No wonder our Lord Jesus had the extra grace because of His complete obedience to the Father. His three and a half years of ministry filled with exceptional signs and wonders, love, compassion, and humility had convinced many Jews to accept Him as the Messiah.
    Brethren, we too can get this extra grace from our Lord when we humble ourselves to obey His words and will.
    Phil 2:8-9  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,

John 13:1 4-15  "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you."
    Jesus was born to be a servant in the stable. He served men all His life and even washed the feet of His disciples. Finally, He offered Himself as a faithful servant to men by dying on the cross bearing their sins.

Col 3:12  Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.

He Gives More Grace (CW69)

        Coming World War 3

Jam 4:6  But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."
    What are these more or extra grace that He will give to us on the condition that we are humble?

Predestination of Saving Grace
Eph 1:3-4, 7  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will...In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
    God before the foundation of the world had already destined that the Word was to be made flesh (in the Person of Jesus Christ) for the salvation of all men (not angels).
Note -there are two fallen creations - men and the fallen angels.

God's Plan of Salvation
Luke 24:46-47  Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
    God has given a fair chance to every man who is humble enough to believe the gospel and accept Jesus as the Christ will be saved. When God seals him with the Holy Spirit of redemption, he becomes a born-again Christian.
Eph 1:7, 13  In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.

More Grace to the Humble
John 14:15-17a, 26; 16:13  "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth... But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you... However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
The OT and NT are covenants of God. When we fulfill our part of the covenant, He will fulfill His part, for He is faithful to His words and commitment. He is also a righteous God and He cannot and will not sin.
    So when a Christian keeps His commandments, God will have to admit that he loves God and He will grant him another Helper, the Spirit of truth, who will guide him into all truth so that he is free from the bondage of this wicked world, deceptions, lies, heresies.
(John 8:32  "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.")
The Spirit of truth will also tell (teach) him the end time signs and prophecies.

Grace overcomes the Flesh
2Cor 6:1,4-10   We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain... But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes... by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love, by the word of truth, by the power of God... as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

Jesus' Gospel of Grace (CW68)

      Coming World War 3

Mat 16:15-16,21  He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.".. From that time Jesus began to show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.
    It was only after His disciples were able to believe and accept Him as the Messiah the Son of God that our Lord started to show them the gospel of grace with Him, coming as the sacrificial Lamb of God.

Gospel of Jesus
Luke 24:46-47  Then He (Jesus) said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
    The gist of the gospel that our Lord Jesus instructed His disciples to preach:-
1. Jesus was the Christ or Messiah or God was made flesh
2. Jesus suffered
3. He was crucified as the Lamb of God
4. He rose from the dead on the third day, having overcome death, so that Christians can have eternal life with Him.

Gospel of grace to Jews by Peter
Acts 2:22-24,36   "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know— Him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death; whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it... Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
    On Pentecost, Peter preached the gospel of Jesus to the Jews and 3,000 devout Jews repented and became Christians. Later on, Peter preached the same gospel to the Gentiles in Act 10.

Gospel to Gentiles by Peter
Act 10:34, 39-40, 42  Then Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality... And we are witnesses of all things which He did both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem, whom they killed by hanging on a tree. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly... And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.

Gospel of Paul to All
Act 17:2-3  Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them, and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and demonstrating that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, "This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ."
    Paul preached the same gospel as Peter to both Jews and Gentiles.

Same Gospel of Grace to All
Eph 3:5-6   which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets; that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel,
    God gave to the Apostles the same gospel of grace for both Jews and Gentiles.

Walk by Faith (CW67)

     Coming World War 3

Perfection of our faith
James 2:22  Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect?

There are three levels of faith, with the lowest being:

1. Seeing is Believing.
Men only believe what they see, including the disciples of Jesus.
John 20:29  Jesus said to him, "Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

2. Not seen and yet Believe
1 Pet 1:6-9  In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith—the salvation of your souls.

3. Faith in His words and not sight
2 Cor 5:6-8  So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
    When we walk by faith and not by sight, we are spiritual and are no longer interested in our earthly lives but set our minds on the eternal future with the Lord.
Phi 1:21  For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Perfect Faith of Apostle Paul
Roman 8:37-39  Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
    With our faith perfected, we can overcome by rejecting the Antichrist on the mercy seat as god and discounting all his signs and lying wonders as demonic.
