SELAH:GEMS OF DR JOH
In the rifted Rock I’m resting, safely sheltered I abide, all secure in this blest refuge, heeding not the fiercest blast.Long pursued by sin and Satan—weary, sad, I longed for rest; then I found the heavenly shelter opened in my Savior’s breast.Peace which passeth understanding, joy the world can never give, now in Jesus I am finding; in His smiles of love I live.
In the rifted Rock I’ll hide me ’till the storms of life are past, all secure in this blest refuge, heeding not the fiercest blast.
Chorus: Now I’m resting, sweetly resting in the cleft once made for me; Jesus, blessed Rock of Ages, I will hide myself in Thee.
Verses For Today: Joshua 1:9; Psalm 38:4; 46:1; 57:1; 62:7; Proverbs 17:22; Hebrews 4:11.If your faith in God is something other than a “resting faith,” ask Him to help you move up into this higher spiritual realm. Thank Him for His willingness to help. Carry this musical statement as you go—

THE FOUR HORSEMAN OF THE ACOPALYPSE-PART 3
The colour black is use to identify or symbolizes famine in such portion of scripture such as Jeremiah 4:28 and Lam 4:8-9.The black horse of the apocalypse thus represent a great famine were to occur.Therefore we can easily understand that following closely behind the red horse of war is the black horse of Famine.After the world war 1,a great famine has grip the entire world.
With such great famine during the Tribulation,inflation will head its course tremendously.The balance of scales in the hand of the black horse rider indicates the scarcity of food.A denarius or a penny is the equivalent of a person's salary for one day (Mat 20:2,9) and a quart of wheat is about a pint,a minimum daily sustenance diet of a person.
The same thing about the three measure /quart of barley which are also a minimum daily sustenance for one person.Thus,this scripture indicates that inflation rate was so high that a person will have to work for a whole day just to earn enought money to live daily for himself and leave nothing for the family or the elderly.
The rider of the black horse however is instructed not to damage the oil and the wain.Oil and wain are traditionally foods for the rich.As in the case of all wars and resulting famine,this inflation and famine will be affecting mostly the common people.Up next who will follow this black horse?Behold the pale horse is coming!I will describe this pale horse's representation in my next blog

SABBATH DAY, HOLY DAY
“He said to them ‘the Sabbath was made for man and not man for the Sabbath. Therefore the Son of Man is also the Lord of the Sabbath”
GOD’S WORD: MARK 2:27-28
Sabbath day is a rest day before the Lord. But in the New Testament, Sabbath is a Holy Day for the Lord. To Christian ,everyday is a Sabbath Day , for every given day is a Holy Day unto the Lord, not even ONE day pass
(Exodus 31:13-17).Many churches (The Seventh Day Adventist or True Jesus Church) erroneously practice Saturday as the day of worship (Sabbath) and thus condemned other Christian’s churches that worship God on Sunday or other day. They even accuse those who worship on Sunday follow paganism who worship the ‘day of the sun god: - Sun Day’. There is only One God Almighty that I worship every day. What if I say that those who worship on Saturday worship the god of Saturn which is also paganism?
Christ Jesus rose from the dead just after the Sabbath Jews calendar and therefore instituted is as “THE LORD’S DAY” .It was on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK after Sabbath(Mark 16:1-2),verse 9). It was Jesus’s Resurrection Day called ‘The Lord’s Day ‘(Revelation 1:10). From that day, disciples of Jesus gather together to worship God in prayer and breaking of the bread (Communion) on the Lord’s Day just after Sabbath which fall on Sunday. Acts 20: 7 “ Now on the first day of the week , when the disciples came together to break bread , Paul ready to depart the next day ,spoke to them and continued his message until midnight”. 1 Corinthians 16: 2 also says “On the first day of the week, let each one of you lay something aside...” Mark 16:9 clearly wrote “Now when He rose early on the FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK…”
“Therefore the Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28)

THERE IS A PRICE TO PAY TO BE CHRIST'S FOLLOWER
Jesus said ‘Whoever desire to follow Me,let him deny himself and take up His cross and follow Me” Mark
His words simply means;
i. You put God’s will & God’s word as your first priority in absolute obedient,willingly with sacrificial attitude.You will have to deny your fleshly impulse and own desire in other to fulfill God’s holy desire.
ii. You will then will have to carry your own ”cross” daily.Cross symbolize all the burdens you suffer as a Christian. Many will go against you when you obey God’s word.You will be prosecuted, suffers emotional harsh treatment because of your faith.You will even get physicall attack from the enemy.These are normally done by non-believer,non-born again christian,false brother and even from the devil himself(Calamities and sickness).Jesus says that we are to carry such crosses of suffering as His follower.
iii. To follow Jesus is to do all His commands.Where to find all His command? The FOUR GOSPEL(Matthew,Mark,Luke,John),The book of Revelation..the whole entire Bible.
Dr.M.R.De Haan,the great prophecy bible teacher sum it this way:”To come to Christ cost nothing,to follow Christ cost something,but to serve Christ cost everything”Costly?YES!Simple test:Will you trade watching your favorite TV program with a 1 hour prayer and bible reading for 1 hour?Do ponder.

FOUR HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE-PART 2
Revelation 6:1-8"
When He opened the second seal,I heard the second living creature saying,"Come and see."Another horse fiery red went out.And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth,and that people should kill one another;and there was given to him a great sword.
There is a famous slogan that says "Peace,no war!".Its simply means,when there is no peace,there will be wars.The Antichrist is the initiator of war.Trailing behind him is the advent of the second horse of Revelation,which is red in color ,telling us that the rider will shed many bloodshed and wherever he goes there will be no peace in the society.The great sword in his hand is a symbol of bloodshed and war. Jesus has spoken that there will be war and rumors of war towards the end.
Towards the end,mankind will be obsess with making war against each other because they covet things that they do not have and desires to take things by force.From just a war between two brothers,it will grow and become a global war where nation will make war against nation and kingdom will make war against kingdom and thus this eventually will trigger a world war III.Such are the calamity that will occur during the first quarter of the first three and half year Tribulation.This red horse with its rider is again reveal the dark side of the Antichrist.He will firstly try to conquer nation or kingdom with diplomatic way.If his term was refuse he will then make war to conquer and no one can stop him now because Christ's Church the "restrainer" are long been raptured by now.

THE FOUR HORSEMAN OF THE APOCALYPSE-PART 1
and crown was given to him,and he went out conquering and to conquer.When He opened the second seal,I heard the second living creature saying,"Come and see."Another horse fiery red went out.
And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth,and that people should kill one another;and there was given to him a great sword.When He opened the third seal.I heard the third living creature say."Come and see."So I looked,and behold,a black horse,and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand.And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying,"A quarte of wheat for a denarius and thre quart of barley for a denarius;and do not harm the oil and the wine."When He opened the fourth seal,I heard 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 beast of the earth."
The Book of Revelation was written to reveal things of the past,present and future events .Jesus Christ, the" Lamb of God"(John 1:29) as mentioned in Chapter six,was seen by John as the only one who was found worthy to open the future prophetic events that will take place sometime in the future..A scroll, written by God Himself and was sealed with seven seals is about to be open.(Rev 5:1-7).The first four seals that was loosen reveals the four awesome entities which are populary known by many prophecy scholars as the "Four horseman of the Apocalypse".These four entities can be interpreted both symbolically and literally.In Matthew 24:6-8,Jesus said that part of the beggining of sorrows or tribulation are "And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars(verse 6)..."For nation will rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom.And there will be famines,pestilences,and earthquakes in various places"(Verse 7).
In my previous posting,I have written about a brief history of wars such as world war I and II,which I believed was the partial fullfilment of Christ's prophecy that wars and rumors of war must come to pass signs that we are living in the last days and that His second coming is near.So does the frequent occurance of earthquakes and Tsunami Flood.However,what triggered me the most is that a yet upcoming major and great war is about to happen which will end with major casualties with a trail of famines and deadly pestilences.
I am talking about a world war III,for after Christ mentioned about wars and rumors of wars,He continued by saying that "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom".This kind of nation and kingdom conflict is no more a secular wars but a global and national world war.Now, let us carefully observe these events:World war (nation and kingdom),famines and pestilences because I believe that these three key elements are what the four horseman are representing.
Its is my belief that the unvealing of the four horseman and the breaking of the four seal will occur during the first quater of the first three and a half years of the seven years tribulation period.Jesus said that this is beginning of sorrow,and threfore the four seal shall be loosen after the rapture of the Church and after the AntiChrist has sign the seven years peace treaty with the Jews.World war III is inevitable and I believed that the Antichrist is the main person behind such catasthropic war which spread out globally ,creating a world war III.Now let us examine what does the four horseman symbolizes.
1.FIRST HORSEMAN:The rider of this horse had a crown but it was given to him.He is holding a bow but with no arrow and he rides a horse whose colour is white,a colour which many of us believe to represent a clean,pure and even a holy personality.This rider is none other than the Antichrist himself in which he prsent himself as a man of peace who came into the world trying to imitate the personality of Christ.Holding a bow without an arrow shows that he will succeed in his plan to conquer by diplomacy and not war initially.Many nations will willingly surrender their authority and leadership to him (crown was given to him).Emperors such as Napoleon,Alexander the great and many would be conquerors all rode in horses.
The Antichrist seen here is riding on a white horse because he want to present himself as a religious,holy and charimastic personality in which many will be deceive.In the later part,the Antichrist will leave a trail of wars,famine and death.It is also interesting to note that in Revelation chapter 19:11-16,we will also see another white horse being ridden by no other than the Lord Jesus Christ Himself as He led His armies of saints coming down to earth to set His millenial Kingdom.In Verse 16,the Lord carried a name written on His robe and on His thigh as the "KING OF KINGS AND LORDS OF LORDS".Jesus is the King of Kings and therefore He wears many crowns.(Rev 19:12).

GOD'S VESSEL
GOD’S WORD: ACTS 19:6
Right after I’ve received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, I experienced a tremendous new power and confidence to do the works of God. I really want to share this newfound spiritual experience to my fellow Christian brothers and sisters in the Lord.
By then, I had joined a small prayer meeting group. The first thing I did was to approach what seems to be the leader of this group. I told her that not many days ago Jesus Christ baptized me with His Holy Ghost and this strange unknown tongue spoken out from my mouth. She was so excited too and told me that all the while she was searching for such experience and believe in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But she needed someone to support and convince her to tell the rest of the group.
After telling and sharing her God’s word, she finally said, “I need to be baptize by the Holy Spirit! Can you lay hand and pray that Jesus filled me with His Holy Spirit?” And I did .I just pray to the Lord to fill her with the Holy Ghost... When I laid my hand on her, I felt the anointing flow and she began to tremble and speak in tongues. The Holy Spirit just filled her and from that day on I saw a great transformation in her personal life and ministry.
Today ,she still serve God as a leader in the church that I once planted in Sabah Malaysia.The rest of the group slowly accepted this new Pentecostal experience. Talking about ‘Catholic Renewal Charismatic’ movement in Sabah, this small catholic Christian group who experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit pioneered this movement. Like John the Baptist, Jesus called me to ignite the fire of Pentecost and prepare them for His Spirit to work within their heart. It’s been years now and I saw big movement and wave of the Holy Spirit sweeping our entire nation. I called it ‘The Kadazan Charismatic movement’ in Sabah because many indigenous kadazandusun have experience the power of Pentecost since then.
Remembering those days, it’s been a humor before the Lord. At one time I was involved in the baptism of water. I preach about water baptism as a sign of total repentance and so a dozen of them were brought to a fresh clean river of Babagon Penampang (Sabah Malaysia) .As I laid hand and pray for them, the power of God just come upon them, so much so that they come under the power and plunge in straight into the water. So, I don’t need to help them to immerse!
I said ‘I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit!’ .The Holy Spirit Himself was baptizing them with water! Here they go falling under the power and into the water! It’s an experience that I would never forget and the Holy Spirit was energizing my life lively. Years later, by faith I conducted a series of’ Mass Crusade on Revival and Healings ‘in few major towns. My banner carries this word ‘Jesus Christ heals you!’ Thousands came to these crusades
I was only 19 and preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ .I have laid hand for many people to get healed by Jesus and did lay hand for many to receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Many came forward to witness how God healed them. I saw Jesus perform mighty miracles to the people, just as He did some two thousand years ago. The blind see, the deaf hear, the lame walk and it was a great joy seeing many turn to the Lord. It’s cost me a great price to do God’s work, but worth it.
Some mistakenly thought I’m a fanatic. Prior before conducting this series of “Healing crusade campaigns’ I went up to climb a well known holy mountain to our catholic community in Penampang. Every year, Catholics gather to climb on this journey called ‘the way of the cross’. On top of this mountain, a very big wooden cross was erected and it can be seen for miles. I went there and stayed for about a month alone to fast, pray and seek God’s will.
The Spirit of God showed me many mysteries but one of them was to conduct preaching campaigns and He will confirm His with signs following. I saw my self preaching the Gospel to thousand of people and saw the Glory of God coming down. Thus the healing ministries were born on that mountain. If you ask me whether I was afraid alone in the jungle and stayed on the top of the mountain for a month, I will tell you I was not, because God was there and His angels was there protecting me!
Some one notice my campfire in the night and rumors says it that somebody took a telescope and watch me praying and worshiping God on that mountain. The news spread out saying that I’ve gone crazy! I will tell you as you read this journal
I was so much in burden for my nation’s loose morality that whenever I prayed, I cried aloud before the Lord that revival will occur. Nobody can hear me crying loud before the Lord on this mountain and thus it’s just a perfect place for me with Jesus.With the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and knowing that He dwells in me, the Holy Spirit manifested His awesome power. My secret? THE HOLY SPIRIT. The Spirit of Jesus Christ
I SAW MY OWN MANSION IN THE FATHER'S HOUSE
As we get closer together to our destination,I began to see right in front of us a certain kind of a big building or "object", a strange building that was very unique. It looks like an “oval” shape tent style of a building and it glows brightly illuminating the surroundings.The radiance color was all in blue and white blaze.I now realized that this building turn out to be a very big house,a mansion to be exact that belong to someone. A door was opened and my father just walk-in confidently and comfortably to this great . I found myself too was now following him in.
Let me share a little bit about my late father.My father came to know Jesus Christ as His Savior and Lord shortly after that. My sister brought him to join a Spirit filled charismatic church! (My late father must have felt a different kind of experience because for the last 50 years, he has been a catholic all his life). My father attended my healing crusade in Penampang in the 80's and saw how God’s was using me to preach the Gospel and praying for the sick.He saw how God works with His mighty sign and miracles in my meeting. He is a quite patience man and in his last golden years, he live quietly and lonely especially after my mother passed away.

I AM A BLOG MINISTER
Its has been my passion studying the Book of Revelation seriously for over 4 years now and I think its time for me to penned it down for all the saints to read my biblical belief and knowledge about this Book.I do have in mind to write a book or a commentary on Revelation ,but to pen it in a Blog is something that was not plan.

The Bible tells us that as we approach toward the time of the end ,"many shall run to a fro,and knowledge shall increase"in such tremendous speed going all over the globe.Today,such knowledge about the word of God can travel even faster than we can imagine,for via the internet and using sophisticated web networks such as Face Book,Blog,website,you tube, and even tweeter application,the knowledge of God's word spread instantly around the world.So far I have consistently posted new articles every 3 or 4 days in .English as such
English Blog :www.bspjohseer.blogspot.com
Writing is my passion and I've spent countless hours to write articles for my Blog, many time even until four/Five o'clock in the morning.I believe it is the divine ability of the Holy Spirit that makes me able to persevere consistently to continue writing.I simply love to share God's word and it is my greatest desire to write articles using a very simple and plain laymen's term.I love to teach the Book of Revelation and studies of the End Times.It is my prayer that God will continue to anoint me with His wisdom and knowledge to write my Blog.I hope that God's saints around the globe will be be spiritually equip with God's word and serve to be an effective witness of Jesus Christ.I welcome the support of God's people to bless this ministry of faith .I'm not good in asking for a donation but God knows how much I need your support to continue in this ministry.And my God shall supply all your needs as He multiply your 'seed' of investment in my ministry.

CHRIST'S PROPHECY : END TIME WARS,THE ROAD TO ARMAGEDDON-PART 2
Mark 13:7 "But when you hear of wars and rumors of wars,do not be troubled;for such things must happen,but the end is not yet.For nation will rise against nation,and kingdom against kingdom.."(Jesus Christ)
Daniel 9:26b-27a"The end of it shall be with flood,and till the end of the war desolations are determined.Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week..."(Daniel the Prophet)
"Where do wars and fights come from among you?Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?You lust and do not have.You murder and covet and cannot obtain.You fight and war.."James 4:1-2
This is the continuation of my writing about Christ's prophetic revelation of the End Time.He proclaimed that wars and rumors of wars are inevitable.Yet,it is only the beginning of sorrows. As the matter of fact these wars will become a global war between nation and kingdom of the world.Even the prophet Daniel prophetically wrote that war will continue to the end even during the seven years Tribulation.Who started this wars and fights?Men did .They lust and covet for something that does not belong to them and willing to fight in war just to satisfy their evil desires.The road to Armaggedon war at the end to the seven years Tribulation period will be filled with a trail of wars and rumors of wars.The Bible indicates that at least two major wars will eventually occurs prior to the Armaggedon war.
1.Gog- Magog war 1-Ezekiel 38 and 39
2.World war 3-Revelation 6
1.HERE COME THE RUSSIAN,THE PRINCE OF ROSH!
The Gog-Magog war is one of the most anticipated prophetic war that many prophecy scholars are looking for its fulfilment in these last days.In Ezekiel 38 :2-11 ,the LORD said "Son of man,set your face against Gog,of the land of Magog,the prince of Rosh,Meshech and Tubal,and prophesy against him,and say'Thus says the Lord God:'Behold,I am against you,O Gog,the prince of Rosh,Meshech and Tubal.I will turn you around,put hooks into your jaws,and lead you out,with all splendidly clothed,a great company with bucklers and shields,all of them handling swords.Persia,Ethiopia and Libya are with them,all of them with shield and helmet;Gomer and all its troops;the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops-many people are with you.Prepare yourself and be ready you and all companies that are gathered about you;and be a guard from them.
After many days you will be visited.In the latter years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel,which had long been desolate;they were brought out of the dwell safely.You will ascend,coming like a storm,covering the land like a cloud,you and all your troops and many people with you.Thus says the Lord God:On that day it shall come to pass that thought will arise in you mind and you will make an evil plan:You will say,I will go up against the land of unwalled villages;I will go to a peaceful people,who dwelling without walls and having neither bars nor gates"
Ezekiel 38:15-16 "Then you will come from your place out of the far north,you and many people with you,all of them riding horses,a great company and mighty army.You will come up against My Israel like a cloud,to cover the land.It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land,so that the nations may know Me,when I am hallowed.O Gog before their eyes"
The only country that is located in the far north of Israel is Russia.To date ,Russia is one of the superpower of the world.In his book 'Antiquities of the Jews 'the Jewish historian and scholar Joshepus identifies Magog with the Scythians but this name seems to have been use generically in antiquity for a number of peoples north of the Black sea.It should be noted that the Scythians,who were identified by Josephus and others as being Magog lived in what is now Russia and the Ukraine.In Genesis 10:2,Magog,Tubal and Meshech was indentified as the sons of Japheth one of Noah's son.Gog is also mentioned as the descendant of Reuben (Eldest son of the patriach Jacob-1 Chronicles 5:3,4)
Russia today is the largest country in the world with a total population of 421 million people.Known to be an energy superpower,Russia is one of the top five "Nuclear Powers"in the world,capable of building a massive nuclear weapons of mass destruction.Prophet Ezekiel prophecied clearly that Gog (Russia) from the land of Magog the prince or ruler of Rosh,Meshech and Tubal will plan to "plunder and to take booty"(Ezekiel 38:11-12) the nation of Israel .Russian's allies in this war will be the Arab nations,namely Persia, Ethiopia, Libya,Gomer,Togarmah and even Germany and Austria (Ezekiel 38:5-6).Now let us examine these ancient tribal names which link to the present modern day nations.
Meshech:Meshech as the six son of Japheth,the son of Noah was also indentified with the ancient Mushki,the Assyrians which inhabit Phrygia the northern Anatolia which today is the modern Turkey.
Tubal:Tubal being the 5th son of Japheth is the brother of Meshech.9th century B.C.Assyrian incriptions refer to Tubal,just west of Meshech in eastern Anatolia.Both of these tribe were known to have populated along the southeastern shore of the black sea.Some even associate Tubal with the naming of Tobolsk of Russia.
Persia :Persia is the descendants of Elam,the 1st son of Shem and is now the modern Iran.In 1935 ,Persia change its name to Iran.Iran will be the leading ally of Russia in her campaign to invade Israel.
Cush :Cush refers to the land that south of Egypt being translated in English Bibles as "Ethiopia"
Put:Put is translated by the New King James version as "Libya".Put was the 3rd son of Ham,the son of Noah.Josephus identifies Put as the founder of Libya,whose inhabitants were called putites.Put encompassed the area from present day Libya,Mauriyania, Mahgribi,Algeria,Tunisa and Morocco.
Gomer :The next ally is Gomer.In the Babylonian Talmud,the Biblical Gomer,the father of Ashkenaz,is rendered "Germania"and associated with the Cimmerians who established themselves in the Rhine and Danube Valleys.Thus Gomer is the present day Germany and Austria
Togarmah:Togarmah is one of the sons of Gomer.The Assyrians called them Til-Garimmu,a name derived from the Hittite city Tegarama and carried into classical times as Gauraema,presently known as Gurun,70 miles west of Mylayta.The city was destroyed by Sennacherib in 695 B.C.and the Armenians still refer to themselves as "The house of Togarmah"even to this day.So Togarmah is the present day area that covers Turkey and Turkistan.God spoke through Ezekiel that all these Arab allies will eventually join with Russia with the sole plan to completely annihilate Israel of the face of the earth.This Gog-Magog war against Israel will be most probably occurs just before or at the very beginning of the seven year Tribulation period .
But the Russian and her allies armies will be supernaturally destroyed by God "on the mountains of Israel"(Ezekiel 39:4) The Lord will destroy the Russian and its Arab allies through earthquakes, pestilence, hail storms, fire, brimstone, and battlefield confusion (Ezekiel 38:19-22) .It was written that it will take seven years for Israel to burn the implements of war after God has wrought His destruction on Russia and her Arab allies (Ezekiel 39:9).Therefore ,this war will be seen to occur at the very beginning or before the Tribulation.This is due to the fact that the Jews will be prosecuted by the Antichrist for the last three and a half years of the Tribulation.This Gog-Magog war will be recognize by the Jews as the "Lord's battle"and that God is fighting for them,thus many will open their hearts to the Lord (Ezekiel 38:23).
THE WORLD WAR III
The next prophetic war after the fulfillment of the Gog-Magog war will be what I call the world war III,and it is found in the Book of Revelation chapter six .Soon after the Tribulation began,we see the release of the four horsemen which symbolizes the Antichrist ,war,famine and death.The Antichrist being presented as the rider of the white horse in Revelation 6:1-2,will deceive many nations by potraying himself as the only man of peace which bring peace to the world.Initially,the Anticrist will conquer by way of diplomatic means and not war since he carry a bow but not arrow.At least 10 nations within the confine of the old Roman empire have willingly surrended peacefully to the Antichrist in his quest to form a one world goverment.Thus when he offer a peace treaty with Israel,the Jews agrees to his proposal.But on the later part,the red horse and her rider which symbolizes war,the pale horse which symbolizes famine and the black horse which symbolizes death will eventually manifest and follow the Antichrist's trail wherever he goes.
His true colour will finally emerge when three of the 10 nations who later rebelled will he subdued by war.This will triggered a third world war in which the Antichrist will be victorious in his conquest as the crown on his head symbolizes it.With the Russian and his Arab allies being defeated in the previous Gog-Magog war,no one can stop him in his globar war campaign even the US.We all know that the majority of a born again Christian are in the United State of America.Since majority of saints in the US are raptured at the beginning of the Tribulation, the US will be weaken in her military defense against Antichrist's invading army.This third world war should occur in the first 21 months of the beginning of Tribulation period.As the result of this world war,over a billion will die if we are to follow the current world population (A third of the world population will die-Rev 6:8)
The Lord Jesus had foreseen this coming world war which being followed by famines and pestilences (Matt 24:6-8).The great Tribulation will be even worse as the wrath of God will reach its climax at the battle of the Armaggedon,when Christ's glorious appearing of His second Coming finally come to end these wars that the Antichrist has wrought to the world.The millienial Kingdom of Christ on earth after Armaggedon war will be the fullfilment of Chirst eternal peace on earth,for He is the Prince of peace for all humand kind.After the one thousand years reign of Christ,satan will try to wage another ultimate war (world war IV)with the Lord and this will be the last prophetic world war that was recorded in the book of Revelation.(Rev 20:9-10).I will share this events in my next posting.

“My God shall SUPPLY (Fill to the FULL-Amplified Bible) ALL YOUR NEED according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus
GOD’S WORD: Philippians 4:9
Such a bold statement by the most influential man in the New Testament, St. Paul the Apostle. Proclaim and declare God as your supreme supplier, provider, banker, financial controller and your personal financial adviser today. You won’t feel hurt or blame others if they can’t help you meet up your needs. Blame God instead, I dare you!
When all doors are close and your resources are fully exhausted, kneel down and pray “God, you are my supplier, come to my aid”. When money runs scarce and your bank account turn red, kneel down and pray “Father God, you are my banker, come to aid”. When you have sufficient fund and all of the sudden there are just too many doors of opportunities to invest ,kneel down before Him and pray “Lord You are my financial adviser, show and guide me the way to invest wisely to get a hundredfold return”
Wait upon the Lord patiently, for your Helper the Holy Spirit of God will start to move unexpectedly! The Lord has been faithfully supplying all my needs throughout the years. I have witness God’s divine intervention in feeding up His children and so far He has never fail on me.

CHRIST'S PROPHECY : END TIME WARS,THE ROAD TO ARMAGEDDON-PART 1
THE BEGINNING OF SORROWS
Matthew 24:6-8 "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.And there will be famines,pestilences,and earthquakes in various places.All these are the beginning of sorrows"
"And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew,Armageddon"(Revelation 16:16)
Its been over 2000 years since the Lord Jesus Christ has prophetically spoken about His second coming and about the initial signs of the End Times.I can hear this same great question today being ask even among the ministers of God :"Tell us,when will these things be?And what will be the sign of Your coming,and of the end of age?"(Matt 24:3).Some present apostle even emailed me saying "Its kind of ridiculous then to say that the last days has lasted 2000 years. So how is it we continue to say we are in the last days/end times. I think sometimes we have been so used to using an expression for so many years (myself included) that we don't even think why we use it anymore. After several years of very in depth study of eschatology again, if I really wanted to be honest with scripture and utilize one of the principal hermeneutic of first century audience relevance, I had to come to different conclusions than I had preached for so many years."
In response to this email,I quoted the word of the Apostle Peter and emphasis that to the LORD,a thousand year is as one day. God in His great mercy and patience want to give all mankind a chance to repent before the coming of the Lord Jesus. 2 Peter 3:3-4,8-9 says "Knowing this first:that scoffers will come in the LAST DAYS,walking according to their own lust,and saying,"Where is the promise of His coming?For since the fathers fell asleep,all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation"But,beloved do not forget this one thing,that with the Lord, one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day.(Verse 8-9)"The Lord is not slack concerning His promise,but is long suffering towards us,not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance"
If we are to follow the calendar of God,2000 years has been only two days.God's time is timeless and eternal. To me we are living in a borrowed time and its very important to use this opportunity to share the Gospel of Salvation that many will come into repentance and escape from the wrath of God that is about to come.However for the last 2000 years ,the world has been experiencing countless of prophetic events just as Jesus has predicted.Wars,rumors of wars,Earthquakes,famine and pestilences have occurred all over the globe reminding us that God permit those great catastrophes to warn us that just before the coming of the Lord,things will turn from bad to worse.Jesus said that these events are only the beginning of sorrow just like the first sign of birth pang of a pregnant woman. The "D-Day"of the Christ's coming is at hand,be it His imminent return to rapture His Church or the "D-Day" of His glorious appearance,His literal second coming down to earth.
"Then the sign of the Son of Man,will appear in heaven,and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn,and they will see the Son of Man coming with clouds of heaven with power and great glory"(Matt 24:30).Jesus in this verse is pointing to His second coming,His glorious appearance where together with the His saints,will come down to earth as the Judge and King to set up His Millennial Kingdom.
The Bible clearly mentioned that Christ's second coming will be just after the seven year Tribulation and His coming will not be without a great resistant.As the matter of fact,the Antichrist with the host of his millions armies will gather at a place called "Armageddon"in the land of the present Israel to make a war against Christ and His armies.
"And I saw the beast,the kings, of the earth,and their armies,gathered together to make war against Him who sat on the horse and against His army"(Rev 19:20).In this Armageddon war,the Antichrist and his false prophet will be captured and be cast alive into into hell and all his armies will be killed .(Rev 19:20-21).The Armageddon war will be the greatest world war to occur in the human history of wars.This war will be the final end of the last evil dictator,the Antichrist and will the final battleground between the forces of good and evil.
"Armageddon"which is also literally transliterated "Har-Magedon"is the Hebrew expression of the "Mount Meggido"that refers to the ancient fortress of Megiddo that controlled the Valley of Jezreel. Armageddon is therefore came to be applied to the Valley of Jezreel that lies in front of Har-Magedon, running slantingly across Israel from Haifa to the Jordan River.Great generals including Napolean Bornaparte (A.D.1799-against Turkish "Army of Damascus") have fought in this great valley and it was claimed that this valley is the most natural battleground on earth.Looking into the war history,we will learn that over a dozen of conflict wars had occurred there.
Many great war generals have fought there such as Thothemes (1500 B.C.),Rameses (1350 B.C.), Sargon (722 B.C.), Sennacherib (710 B.C.), Nebuchadnezzar (606 B.C.), Ptolemy (197 B.C.), Antiochus Epiphanes (168 B.C.), Pompeii (63 B.C.), Titus (A.D.70), Khosru, the Persian King (A.D. 614), Omar ( 637 A.D.), the Crusades under St.Louis of France (A.D. 909), Saladin,who conquered Richard the Lion-hearted (A.D.1187), the Ottoman forces (A.D.1616) .
(Source :Book:"The Battles of Armageddon", Eric H.Cline,2002.2003).However,the greatest Armageddon war will be the last great battle between the the greatest evil dictator and general,the Antichrist and the greatest King and Lord,Jesus Christ.
This will be a very confusing but unique world war which I call it world war IV,because according to the scripture,the armies from the East (Most likely China and Asian armies-Rev 16:12) and the north(Most likely the reconstituted rebellious Russian armies) will also gather at this valley (Daniel 11:44) who initially into war conflict with the Antichrist but later joined with him to stage a war against the Lord Jesus Christ and His armies . This battle quickly ended as Christ will just speak a supernatural word,and all the armies are instantly destroyed
The road to the future great prophetic"Armageddon world war"was tainted with many wars,exactly like what Jesus has prophesied.Many great wars have come to pass and many more rumors of wars to come since the day when Jesus spoke over 2000 years ago.Remembering the word of Jesus again,that "..you will hears 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"(Matt 24:6)
Let us examine more of these historical wars and more prophetic war to come.
For over 2000 years,many wars throughout the world have occurred but the greatest casualties of war ever recorded in the history was the war of 1914 and 1939 which qualify to be called as "world war I" and "world war II". Both world war have recorded a total amount of approximately 85 million casualties.Therefore,I will focus my writing on such major wars that is about to happen according to the scripture.I got this information from Wikipedia,the website Encyclopedia as follows:
WORLD WAR I (1914-1918)
"World War I was a military conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved most of the world's great powers,assembled in two opposing alliances:the Allies (centered around the Triple Entente) and the Central Powers.More than 70 million military personnel,including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history.More than 15 million people were killed, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in history.This war (abbreviated as WW-I, WWI, or WW1) is also known as the First World War, the Great War, the World War (prior to the outbreak of the Second World War), and the War to End All Wars.
The assassination on 28 June 1914 of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria,the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, is seen as the immediate trigger of the war,though long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policy,played a major role. Ferdinand's assassination at the hands of Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip resulted in demands against the Kingdom of Serbia.Several alliances that had been formed over the past decades were invoked, so within weeks the major powers were at war;with all having colonies, the conflict soon spread around the world.
(SOURCE:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I)
WORLD WAR II(1939-1945)
"World War II,or the Second World War(often abbreviated WWII or WW2),was a global military conflict lasting from 1939 to 1945 which involved most of the world's nations,including all great powers, organised into two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million military personnel mobilised.In a state of "total war," the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant action against civilians, including The Holocaust and the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it was the deadliest conflict in human history,with over seventy million casualties"
(SOURCE:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II)
These two world war has occurred before I was born, but just by reading this historical fact,I just can't imagine how terrible would it have been living in those days.Since then,the only wars that I have observed was the Falkland war and the gulf war.Yet,the Bible tell us that there will be more prophetic wars to come and I will record this on my next writing in this blog.Maranatha!

SIGNS OF THE END-EARTHQUAKE BY JESUS,FLOOD BY DANIEL
EARTHQUAKES AND FLOOD,a combination of natural disaster was prophesied by our Lord and Daniel.We are seeing today that whenever an Earthquakes occur a "Tsunami"/Huriccane /Flood warning will be declared.Before the rapture of the Church and prior to the 7 years Tribulation period,EARTHQUAKES AND FLOOD will occur in various places just as Jesus had predicted.These prophesy is being fulfilled right in front of us this year,2010.Since January ,we have seen great earthquakes in various places and Tsunami Flood.
(1)January 3,2010-a 7.1magnitude earthquake hits the Solomons Island,resulting Tsunami Flood measuring 10 feet,which destroyed 200 homes and over 1000 homeless in Rendova Island.
(2)January 12,2010-Earthquake at 7.0M hit Haiti,leaving over 500,000 dead and also triggered Tsunami flood.
(3)February 27,2010-a 8.8 magnitude Earthquake hit Chile-leaving over 700 dead with great catastrophic disaster.
(4) March 8.2010- A 6.0magnitude earthquake struck at eastern Turkey TODAY killing over 51 people leaving many in fear and panic.
Jesus said that these occurances are only the beginning of sorrows and the worst disaster is yet to come such as wars,famine and pestilence.Men are experiencing this sorrow toward the end.God is speaking to us to turn to Him as sins abound and satanic forces are at work in these last day.Let us all pray for these nations and bare witness to the Gospel of salvation that in Christ,there is a blessed hope ,salvation and protection.Offer our aid and hand to these victims with our prayer or any means of contribution.We are living in a borrowed time of the Last days.
