Todays Prayer Dear God, I thank you this morning for the Rock of my salvation. I thank you that my life can be built upon a strong foundation. Please help me to trust, to live, to take every breath based upon the foundation I have in you. Please help me to weather lifes storms, to keep looking to you, and to be a thankful child...never a pouting brat. I pray that you will strengthen me and keep my feet steady on solid ground. I pray for my family members, Lord, that each one will be committed to you and live a life that glorifies you and ministers to others. In the blessed name of Jesus I pray, amen. Coming Signs of Persecution TGIF Today God Is First Volume 2, by Os Hillman 10-21-2013 Come, they say, let us destroy them as a nation, that the name of Israel be remembered no more (Ps 83:4). God calls us to know the signs of the times. The final end time conflict will arise when nations of the world will come against Israel. The Bible is clear that Jesus will return to the physical place of Jerusalem to collect His bride, represented as all those who believe and trust in Jesus, the Messiah. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready (Rev 19:7). I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband (Rev 21:2). Israel will always be a place of conflict in the world because Satan knows that this is the place Jesus must come back to in order to collect His bride. And when Jesus does that, it will be the end of Satans influence on the earth through anti-Christ nations. But until Jesus returns, the land of Jerusalem will be in a tug of war among the nations. There is a growing intolerance in the world for anyone who has a belief system in absolutes. Christians will be viewed as rigid, inflexible and intolerant of other faiths. There will be a season of political moderate philosophy among many nations and individuals. This moderate philosophy will even happen among Christians, Muslims, and political groups. This will open the door to the influence of the antichrist to come against any group believing in absolutes. A growing trend of anti-Semitism and persecution will emerge against Jews and committed Christians. Christians will be called to stand with our brothers and sisters in Israel. When this happens it will be one of the reasons Jews will believe in the Messiah. There has been a season of peace for followers of Christ in the western, European and Asian world. But know that a season of persecution is to come. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name (1 Peter 4:16-17). Pray that you will be faithful.
