Bethlehem was
where the Muslims first rallied in revolt against President Trump’s
announcement that Jerusalem was Israel’s capital (even though it has been for
some 3,000 years!). It is the frequent place of such protests. This is
noteworthy for it is also where our Messiah was born and the angels heralded
His first coming:
But thou, Bethlehem
Ephratah, [though] thou be little among the thousands of Judah, [yet] out of
thee shall he come forth unto me [that is] to be ruler in Israel; whose goings
forth [have been] from of old, from everlasting. - Micah 5:2 KJV
Micah also foretells that the Messiah will have to give
Israel up because they will reject Y’shua as their Messiah, BUT that He will
turn back to them when “she which
travaileth hath brought forth”:
Therefore will he give
them up, until the time [that] she which
travaileth hath brought forth: then the remnant of his brethren shall
return unto the children of Israel. - Micah 5:3 KJV
Those who have been following my blog know I believe the
travail of Micah 5:3 refers to Jacob’s Trouble/The Tribulation (Jacob refers to national Israel). Therefore, it is Israel which brings
forth—or births. It is my understanding that on
the brink of this great trouble beginning, first those who are “in Christ” will
be raptured or birthed (Isaiah 66:7) then those who will come to believe on the
Messiah during the Tribulation are sealed and then “birthed” sometime during
the Tribulation (Revelation 14:1-5). (For more on this subject watch Alan
Horvath’s The Great Sign of Revelation

A side note related to Micah 5:3: Robert Breaker produced an intriguing video on Who Are the 144,000? His take on this made me wonder whether the second part of Micah 5--"the remnant of his brethren shall return unto the children of Israel"--is referring to the 144,000?

Jesus referred to travail in John Chapter 16:
A little while, and ye
shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go
to the Father. - John 16:16 KJV
Verily, verily, I say
unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye
shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. - John 16:20 KJV
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come:
but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the
anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. - John 16:21 KJV
And again in Matthew 24:
All these [are] the
beginning of sorrows [odin—birth pains; travail]. - Matthew 24:8 KJV
It appears that the travail prophesied for Israel is nearly
upon them.
The Land Divided
According to Israeli
News Live, the hubbub over Trump’s pro-Israel stance is a charade because
the decision to divide the land of Israel had already been made.
This was also
reported by Derek Gilbert on the December
8 SciFriday. Then yesterday in his US
Blocks UN report, he shared that the Arabs (Palestinians) became additionally
agitated when the news came out that Trump’s pro-Israel views are being
endorsed by Crown Prince bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. The Prince informed the
Palestinian Authority leader, Abbas, that they will drop the demand to make
East Jerusalem the capital of Palestine in exchange for the Gaza Strip and
other pockets of land being given to establish a Palestine state.
Another consequence to this is that Vice President Pence’s
trip to Bethlehem this week was cancelled.
Please remember two things:
2) Islamic
eschatology states that the Muslims must take over Jerusalem for their messiah,
the Mahdi, to come.
It may appear that Jared Kushner has solved the
Israeli-Palestinian problem, BUT KEEP WATCHING JERUSALEM. Jerusalem is the
second hand on God’s prophetic clock, as J. D. Farag likes to say.
Tachos
The Revelation of
Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which
must shortly come to pass; and he
sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John: - Revelation 1:1
KJV
“Tachos”
is the Greek word that is translated “shortly”
in the above verse. It is pronounced a bit differently than the stuffed folded
tortilla we call “tacos”. These two words actually have something in common-- tachos refers to something coming to
pass “quickly, shortly, speedily” and tacos are a food you can make quickly. At
least that is how I remember what tachos
means.
It is a word that aptly describes the time we see ourselves
in as prophecy seems to be speeding up in fulfillment. J. D. Farag believes
that President Trump has a significant part in this.
A tachometer measures revolution per minute, so Jesus here
was showing us that when we see things revving up with the beginning of pains (referred
to as Braxton-Hicks contractions in human labor), know that the TRUE LABOR IS
CLOSE BEHIND!
When Does The Trib
Begin?
Chuck Missler sets forth what he believes triggers the
beginning of Daniel’s 70th week in a 16-minute video posted June
2013 RAPTURE DATE SET ???, chuck missler
...
It is NOT the harpazo
or Rapture of the Overcoming Church nor is it the completion of the third
Temple that signals the actual beginning of Daniel’s 70th week, according
to Dr. Missler; but it is when the son of perdition/Antichrist comes into power
and enforces a covenant.
Dr. Missler does believe that 2 Thessalonians Chapter 2
makes it clear that the Antichrist cannot come into power until after the Rapture.
Let no man deceive you
by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of
sin be revealed, the son of perdition; - 2 Thessalonians 2:3 KJV
A true scholar
will look to the original languages for the truth. The term "falling away"
of the Bible translation above is improperly derived from the Greek noun apostasia.
The first seven English Bible translations of apostasia all most appropriately rendered the noun as either "the departure" or "the departing". erfministries.com

It is after the Rapture that chaos will cover the earth.
This is what the world’s elite wants for it will allow their man of sin to
arise and take control! Chuck shares in this video that it is speculated that
the covenant the Antichrist enforces will be related to a Palestinian land deal. Note that the son of perdition “confirms” it.
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
The word “confirm” in this verse is translated from the
Hebrew word gabar
which means “to strengthen; cause to prevail”. This infers that the Antichrist
strengthens a pre-existing covenant. Possibly he confirms the covenant of the
land deal just made with Israel and the Palestinian leadership!
Though we do not know exactly how this is going to play out,
one thing is certain. We are seeing the beginning of sorrows and true labor is
about to begin. Just because the Braxton-Hicks contractions have subsided does
not mean the baby isn’t coming—it is coming VERY SOON!
Caveat: I do not necessarily agree
with all the beliefs of anyone whose material I reference. I seek to be led of
the Spirit of God as to the sources I use, however, even Spirit-filled
Christians only 'see in part' as it says in 1 Corinthians 13:12.
