Well, good morning and welcome to Bibleline. Great to be with you today. Thanks for tuning into the broadcast. We look forward to being with you each and every day as we come to you live out of Tampa, Florida from our studios at the Calvary Community Church.

Again, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere on the planet. We had two more countries added to our internet this past week. We have now 138 countries that have logged in on Bibleline. Isn’t that exciting? The latest is the Samoa Islands in the Pacific. We’ve already had the Cook Islands, the Baka Islands. And of course we haveideo New Zealand and we’re all over the Asian continent. Donald is excited about how God is blessing Bibleline through the internet.

Bibleline radio and Bibleline television can be listened or watched every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Go to my website BibleLineMinistries.org or dot com and you can click on the spinning globe or the television set on the homepage and you’ll be connected. By the way, tomorrow is Tuesday and we have those classes I’m teaching. This will be the second week in our series on first and second Thessalonians. We had a great crowd last week, a wonderful crowd and we’re excited about what’s happening.

You’re welcome to come if you’re in driving distance and we’re going to have a great time. If you come, you can pick up the first two lessons, lesson one and lesson two teaching, and they are available and also you will be able to order these series when we are finished after four more Tuesdays including tomorrow night. The ten hours of teaching on person second pestilence will be concluded. If you are watching the news, boy this is a great series to get in on because we are watching the headlines reflect what the Bible talks about and obviously this is a time to be looking up because Jesus is coming.

And we hope that you as a believer are maximizing your efforts to win your family members and friends because we believe time is running out. If the rapture happens, your relatives will be left behind if they don’t know Christ is Savior and you don’t want to have that happen for them. Chances are they won’t trust the Lord during the Tribulation period because the Antichrist will get a tight grip on the world and he’s going to be blinding the minds of those which believe not lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ should shine unto them.

The Bible describes this as the darkest hours of history spiritually and in every other way, dark hours on the planet Earth as Jesus is about ready to return. Well, obviously all eyes are focused there in the Middle East, and I believe that’s exactly what the Bible said would happen. God said that he would put hooks in the jaws of the nations and draw them into the Middle East, and it looks like the nations just cannot avoid it, can they?

It seems like we’re all being pulled in and even watching the news and notice everybody’s concern about the Middle East. The Middle East is the focus of the news and look how rapidly that’s happened over the past 400 years. You know, we were in Japan, the Far East in World War II and then after that we went to Korea a little bit further toward the Middle East. And then we went to Thailand and Cambodia and Vietnam and that was a little further toward the Middle East and after that we are solidly in the Middle East and the United States has obviously got her feet planted in Afghanistan and Iraq.

This is all a part of prophecy and definitely in the last days the Middle East is where the action will be and armageddon will be started right there in israel as russia will trigger off the battle of armageddon has the antichrist who i believe will come out of the united states of america and will actually rule the western world from jerusalem as the counterfeit christ and you can certainly see the handwriting of the wall united states is building a huge rocker based South is kind of the you don’t see much press on that but I think it’s all getting ready for the antichrist when he rules he’ll have this huge American base right there in Israel and this will be the place from which he runs the western world and the Antichrist according to the Bible will take over all of the key countries in the

Middle East including all of what was ancient Assyria If you look at the map that includes Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, even Israel will be taken over by the Antichrist halfway through the seven years of tribulation and also Egypt. Then he puts his palace according to Daniel 1145 in Jerusalem and he rules the Western world from Jerusalem. That’s an amazing time we live in because, you know, that’s easily done, isn’t it? Even when the United States President flies in Air Force One, he can actually stay in the air and actually make the decisions to direct war or whatever should our country be attacked.

They have plans, obviously, to put him up in the air and they’ll keep him fueled up there and he can run the war and make decisions affecting our country from there. And of course anywhere on the earth on the ground as well. And wherever he goes, whenever he travels, as he just is over there in Russia, he is informed by the hour as to what’s going on in the world and obviously makes decisions for our country. We are living in the last days when not only the technology is here, but the real events on the ground are happening just like the Bible said that they would.

Apparently nuclear war will strike heavily in the Middle East the Bible says that Damascus will become a ruinous heap Which means apparently a Divascus will take a direct nuclear hit it’ll just be a pile of rubble When it gets all done and of course we know that Egypt will be hit according to Ezekiel The desert sands of Egypt will be so radioactive that not even a dog will be able to cross the sands of Egypt for 40 years into the millennium.

Can you imagine? There will be a lot of death and destruction. According to the Bible, one-third of all the people on the earth will be killed in the Battle of Armageddon. That’s got to be two billion people. If world’s population is six billion, one-third of the world’s population would be two billion people will die in the Battle of Armageddon. This is just phenomenal. We talk about a little over 3000 killed in 911. That’s nothing compared to what will happen at Armageddon.

Should the Rapture happen this year? Seven years from now, the Lord would come back and defeat the armies of this world and prevent Armageddon from continuing on as it tells us in 1924, if Christ did not come back and defeat the armies and stop the wars and set up a kingdom of peace that mankind would actually annihilate himself from off the face of the earth. We’re living in the last days, there’s no doubt about it, and this is the time for Christians to step up to the plate and really get excited about living for Christ.

We’re a little over sixty days away from the rapture. If the Lord were to come this year, now let me make clear what I’m saying here because I’m not a date-setter. It should the Lord come this year, He’ll come on the Feast of Trumpets. Remember, there are seven feast days that God gave back in Leviticus 23. The first four pictured the first coming events of Christ. Every one of them were fulfilled literally on the day. Christ died as the Passover lamb, exactly when Israel was offering up for Passover lamb.

He was buried buried in the feast of unleavened bread, which pictured his sinless body being buried in the tomb. He rose on the first fruit’s day, the feast of first fruits. That was always a Sunday, and he rose exactly on the day. And then Pentecost, the fourth feast, pictured the beginning of this present age with the Holy Spirit coming to dwell the believers. Every one of them happened right on the day. Since Pentecost began this age, we believe the rapture will end it and we believe it will probably happen on the next feast day, which is the Feast of Trumpets, which happens this year, September 22nd.

Well we’re into July approaching July 22nd. And guess what, that’s just two months out, 60 days from the Rapture. If we’re going to come this year, I did not say crisis coming this year. I want people to know that I’m not an 8-setter, but what if you did come this year? Then you’ve got 60 days left a little bit more than that. And if you knew that Christ’s Word for sure coming this year, would you do anything differently? Well, these are the last days and we’re living in a time when we need to be really vigilant.

You know, I just got a copy of the new living translation, which is absolutely terrible. It’s nothing but the living translation made new. And, you know, repent. The Greek word means to change your mind. The Greek word is meta noia. M-E-T-A meta means change. Noia means mind. And I happen to notice every time the word repent occurs in the new living translation. Let me read Acts 2.38 where Peter says repent. When they heard his message they were pricked in their hearts the Bible says and they said, what must we do?

And Peter, of course, repent. Of course, the Greek word means change your mind. But let me just share with you what they did in the new living translation. I’m going to read the verse. And they said, as it reads in the new living translation, brothers, what should we do? Peter said to them, be sorry for your sins and turn from them. That is incredibly wrong. How in the world could they do that? Be sorry for your sins and turn from them.

I notice in the book of Acts every time the word of repent occurs, they just apparently take a word processor and put that phrase, be sorry for your sins and turn from them. Be sorry for your sins and turn from them. Be sorry for your sins and turn from how terribly wrong. That is a sign of the end times as well. That totally is a distortion and error, an attack on the word of God because the Bible doesn’t say that.

If you were to translate the Greek word metanoia literally, it would say change your mind. Peter is telling the people that it crucified Christ that Jesus is the Messiah and they said what should we do? He said change your mind. They crucified him because they didn’t believe he was indeed the Savior. We are living, seeing all the signs of the return of the Christ all around in the news and everywhere. This is a time for Christians to wake up, get a good Bible, get into the Bible, share the truth of God’s Word with the lost in their family and friends, and be living for Jesus because He is coming, and I believe very soon.

If you have not trusted Christ, there is only one condition that must be meant to be saved. The Bible says, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved at 1631. The word believe means the trust. That’s the key word, T-R-U-S-T. The English word will allow for mental assent of historical facts. You can mentally assent of the historical facts of Christ and go to hell. You must trust that Jesus died for you and shed his blood. When you do, God saves you.

I’m Dr. Englunds from We’re Gonna Go to The Phone Lines and we want you to call in if you have a question or you’d like to share something and this phone number at Bible line is 1-800-576-3771. 1-800-576-3771. Off here we have Joyce from Charlotte Bill, New York calls in and she has several little questions here. She says first of all about the new American Standard, what is your thoughts? Again, it is not good because it is coming off of the man-made Greek text called the critical text.

In the 1800s, a group of 15 men came together and wrote their own Greek Bible called the critical text. And it has a lot of flaws in it. One of the men on the committee was a Unitarian, doesn’t believe in the Deative Price. You can see his influence. And they came out with a translation called the English Standard Bible, which was an advertising ploy to use the word standard so that it would become the standard English version for the English-speaking people.

And in ten years, nobody bought many of them and it just died. Then in 1901, an American committee decided to make it new, or rather to do the same They did very little changes and they made it the American Standard Version came out in 1901 When that translation the copyright ran out a man out in California decided to make the American Standard do And he called it the new American Standard But the same flaws are all the way through in 1st Timothy 3 16 overs.

I love her It says without controversy great is the mystery of godliness That God was manifest in the flesh talking about Jesus Well guess what? The English Standard Version, the American Standard Version, and the New American Standard Version all carry the same error by this Unitarian who helped write the Greek critical text, which is a man-made Greek text, not a manuscript we get in the raw. They said, by our common confession in that wonderful verse in 1 Timothy 3 16, which seems to imply that the deity of Christ rests upon our vote.

Do we have to vote that the side-waiter Jesus is God or not? Of course not. Jesus is God whether we vote or don’t vote. Then it goes on to say, he was manifest in the flesh. That’s absolutely meaningless. Because you’re manifest in the flesh. I’m manifest in the flesh. Your relatives are manifested in flesh. That’s meaningless. But when the Bible says in the King James, God was manifest in the flesh. That is significant. So I think the English standard version, the American standard version, the numeric standard version, I have serious flaws and I could point out many of them to you.

We have a sheet that we could send you that we describe some of them, but they affect the predo-solvation, they affected the eating of Christ and so many major doctors impacted. She also asked some other questions. I’ll try to pick them up later in the show. But we’re going to go now to Joe in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Joe, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Thank you, Pastor, and to continue with the wonderful teaching that you’re teaching where we find that.

At least there’s one place I know I can go and find the truth. My granddaughter sat down and she’s a rainbow girl and they had a ceremony. We went down at the Freemasons. You know anything about the Freemasons? I know they claim not to be a religious group, but they are really weird. They are religious and they believe in works for salvation and they believe that they are by the good deeds that they do earning their way to heaven.

And generally, they don’t associate too often with churches. They try to think that their group is sufficient in itself to get them to heaven by their good works. I know that twice during the ceremony they prayed and both times they ended it in the name of the master. I thought that was a little strange. Well, it is because the God of Masonry can be any God. It can be the God of the Bible, it can be the God of Islam, it can be any God they want.

So, it’s really like a cult, really, and they have a lot of secrets. It’s a secret society and I, there’s some good books out that expose it. And John Ankerberg out of Chattanooga, Tennessee has a video series where he exposes the secrets. And as a result, when they were aired on television, they threatened his life and they tried to burn his house down and they really came at him pretty hard for standing up and presenting the secrets of the free machinery.

It’s really quite a video. I’ve got the series. You can order that through Ankerberg Ministries out of Chattanooga, Tennessee. You can Google that or just get the operator to give you the phone number for Ankerberg Ministries and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Okay. Well, thank you so much, Pastor. You’re very welcome. Have a great day. Right. Thank you. Joe and Fort Lauderdale. We now have Dwight in Clearwater, Florida. What, Dwight, is not there. We thought we had Dwight. And Dwight apparently had those things to do.

Dwight, call back and we’ll get you up on Z-air. That was Dwight and Clearwater. We now have Jeannie, I believe, or Jean in the land floor. Do Jean, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Yeah, hi, Dr. Lewstrom. How are you doing? Hey, it’s really good. I enjoy talking with you when I can. I’ve been doing some studying on Jesus, why he hasn’t returned yet. into the Bible I’m studying with R.C. Sproul and Grant Jeffries has got a few interesting books.

I ran across something I wonder if you ever heard it before when the Jews were in captivity in Babylon 3 was a 343 BC and they were in captivity I think what 70 years? Yeah but it was much earlier than that they went into captivity around BC 606 and 70 years later came out of captivity about five thirty four b c well in my grand jessory books he shows that when moses was given the law by god that if the jews didn’t obey god and were disobedient to their punishment would be seven times whatever you know whatever the punishment was exactly i would uh…

come out of seven times harder and i think that’s in the last chapter of the level of the the big is right well he uh… he did some interesting math work and he shows that if you take the time of their captivity and multiply that by uh… actually i think it’s three hundred sixty for the jewish calendar uh… and there’s no there’s no year for the plot for european or just one year’s to the truth when you cross over that it comes out to exactly uh…

around the fourth month of nineteen forty eight An incredible prophecy yet to the founding of the state of Israel when their punishment apparently would have been over as a God kicked him out of the land, dispersed them. And finally that all ended in 1948 when they became a nation. That’s absolutely right. That’s fascinating. Well, it’s fascinating to me because you know, there’s so many naysayers out there, all we’ve been waiting for him for thousands of years or hundreds of years and every turn of the century he has and came.

Well, if he’s a just and an honorable God, which he is, and he has to extract his punishment on people equally, then that would be the case. Then it would have to be up until this century when they were allowed to return back to their homeland, which they had done. Absolutely. So we’re living in the generation, I think, that we’ll see Christ return, and we can see how quickly it’s accelerating. ever since this became a nation, you can see how quickly the world has begun to itself up exactly as the Bible describes it for when the battle of Armageddon occurs.

So we’re there. And a rapid succession of events is one thing right after the next and you can see almost the coalition of nations that are coming together now to go against Israel. Absolutely. And I just believe in even like I’ve been studying a little bit with Perry Stone and he actually believed at a forty-year period is coming up in two thousand seven he doesn’t set a data course but he said it’s an interesting fact that since the recapture Jerusalem in nineteen sixty seven and generally in a bible forty year box for generational time he says we’re approaching that time and absolutely very possible that uh…

in the near future so people should be they should be thinking about anyway but i i believe people should be getting ready i think so too well i uh… got my rapture shoes on and i’m ready to I mean, I’m a man brother. Anyway, I was just curious if you heard that or not. Yeah, I have. That’s a wonderful prophecy in Ezekiel that you’re referring to. And the math is incredible. I love science in the Bible and the prophecy is in the Bible.

That’s my favorite topic. Well, you know, he said he would reveal some of those mysteries to us in those end times. And that’s exactly what’s happening with some of the preaching and some of the things that just being pulled right up out of the Bible that nobody’s ever seen before. Amen. And words were there but they just never made the correct… Hindsight is 2020 and as we look back at the event and then look at the prophecies and see how they calculate on it’s easier looking back at 1948 than it was looking ahead to seeing that because we didn’t know about that fulfillment for sure until it actually happened.

Right. One of the explanations was because the old people of the old Jews had died off, the young Jews that were brought up in Babylon were basically Babylonians because they were still operating under their guidelines and they just refused to go home. They were directly disobedient to God. They had to have punishment. There you go. Well, great show. God bless you and keep up the good work. Thank you. All right. That was Gene in the land, Florida, listening there at the same time you’re listening wherever you are we have levita and like worth and levita welcome to the Bible and you are on the air thank you dr.

Hank yeah I have a question. Whenever I’m witnessing to people, and I try to do it as much as I possibly can, but, you know, there’s not a problem, and people understand that they will be forgiven for everything that they have done in the past, but they have difficulty trying to assimilate in their brain that they’re also being forgiven for everything in the future. I always give me some Bible verses and I mean give me some real good ammunition so that when that is brought up I can have something to refer them to.

I like Acts 13, 38, and 39 where it says by Christ all the believer justified from all things and it talks about us being cleansed from all All iniquity in Titus 2.14. Also Hebrews, chapter 10, 10 through 14, talk about how he perfects forever by the one disclos by the one-time sacrifice that he offered at Calvary and many more verses. So obviously all of our sins were future when Christ died. He saw our entire future transpired. He died to pay for sins of the people who will be born tomorrow.

So clearly he died for future sins. And when you trust him as your Savior, you’re saved at that moment forever because it all paid for, press, present and future. So that will help a little bit. I hope. Acts 13, 38, and 39. Titus 2, 14. Hebrews chapter 10 verses 10 through 14. Titus, did it again? Titus 2, 14. 10, 14. Yep, we got to go to break now and we’ll do Bibleline part 2. Just a minute, don’t go away.

Keep it right here, now, too. Right where it is. Don’t go away. Bibleline will be back in a moment. Give us a call at 1-800-576-3771. That’s 1-800-576-3771. Right, I’m Dr. Englund, Mr. Smith. It’s wonderful to be able to be with you, and I want to thank you for tuning into the program. Hopefully, you’re learning about our internet presence, and we have Bible and radio and Bible and television able to be seen or watched 24 hours a day, seven days a week from anywhere in the world.

We just had two new countries, one in Africa, and we had the Samoa Islands in the Pacific that added to our list now of 130 countries that have logged on. So people around the world are listing and are downloading. We have over 10,000 internet listeners every month listening to Bible on just on the internet. That is exciting. And we hope that you’re one of those who has found that, discovered that, and can help us expand our audience by telling your friends in other parts of the country and in other parts of the world about Bible life.

Hopefully you’re on your tippy toes, or you’re watching what’s happening in the Middle East with Israel and the neighbors of Israel. This is all Bible prophecy coming to pass and it’s exciting. And this is a time when every believer certainly ought to be looking up and maximizing whatever they’re doing for God. Bible life certainly feels that way. We are pushing ourselves out there as far as we can. requires obviously help from our audience. We need your prayers and we need your financial support and if you can help us here during the summer it would be greatly appreciated while people are growing on vacations and things are happening.

We need that extra help from you to be able to keep us going on the air. So you can send a gift to Bible, I had a 48-11 George Road and help assure the program continues in your area and also you can I help us expand and get this message out to a world that so desperately needs to know about Jesus.

We’re about ready to rejoin stations or go on station break and do the second Bibleline so I hope you’ll join us for the second half hour and again as we said if your your station doesn’t care yet, go to the internet and check that out.

And I think you’re going to love the quality of the television presentations on the internet. It’s just surprising to so many people that I’ve demonstrated for.

In particular, the Rapture, the Tribulation Period, the Rise of Antichrist, the Rebuilding of the Third Temple, the Desecration of the Third Temple, the Antichrist being defeated by Christ in his 2nd coming and so on and so on and so on. We’re going to have a good time, prophecy wise as well as rich in other major doctrines election and predestination and salvation and discipleship and the Trinity and on and on we have so much in this wonderful book. I ask your help here during the summer if you can to help us out with Bible and we need your support.

If you could pray for us and if you could send a gift at this time it would be greatly helpful as we try to take care of the expansion that we’ve done and to keep these stations up and running everywhere and of course this new venture with streaming our television programs and if you’re enjoying those consider being a partner in praying force and maybe sending a gift along to Bible and you can call our 800 number. Our operators will tell you how to do that You can also give a gift by credit card over the phone.

We have Richard in Richmond, Virginia. I don’t know what happened to Dwight a minute ago. He dropped off the line. Maybe he’ll call back. Richard, welcome to Bibleline you’re all neater. Good morning, brother. How are you? Good. I got to touch your layer and try to subplease bear with me. Got a couple questions for you. Is the book of things to come. What would you in your opinion think we were in the book, a revelation? We are in chapters 2 and 3.

In particular, the last part of chapter 3 where you have the Church of Laodicea. It’s a picture in chapters 2 and 3 of Church history over the past 2000 years, Ephesus being a picture of the early 1st century Church, Dr. Olesown, hard-working, trued to the Lord, and then the 2nd century Church, pictured by the Church at Smyrna and so on. The Laodicean Church is a picture of the lukewarm church of today which doesn’t have much backbone and is kind of in the middle of the road and doesn’t, is not very effective today.

And that’s exactly where we are. And shortly then chapter four verse one is a picture of the rapture. So we’re just this side of chapter four verse one where John hears, sees a door open in heaven, hears a voice like the sound of a trumpet and the voice says, come up hither and uh… john is caught up a picture of the church being captured out from that point on the church is no longer seen in the book of revelation so that’s what happens i believe chapters four through nineteen are commentary on the seven years of population to follow the rapture all right with that it comes to my second question i got one after that i’m going to go through uh…

that was good to study and and three half years to keep popping up and it just seems like there’s a a significant number of three and a half years point it in forty two months about three and a half years it’s exactly three and a half years and fact okay the two billion divided into two three and a half year parts the first half three and a few years the second at three and a few years and so that’s why it keeps popping up and talk about twelve hundred sixty days or forty two months or three and a half years and absolutely that’s the seven years of tribulation is divided into two three and a half year parts i will excuse my ignorance but when it comes to it that we score three and score days and i just basically three days well that room

what how many score i think that the three score day if i remember correctly but i was just trying to figure out the school of that the was the was the was storm is twenty So like in Psalm 90 it says it’s appointed on the men to live three score in ten which is 70 years. That’s about the approximate lifespan of man. Well you know the Bible talks about rivers of war, earthquakes and natural disasters. I heard what it was this morning that Indonesia just had another tsunami.

You know amazing. Yeah, I think that’s every point one earthquake caused this tsunami this wave of six feet How does it to shore and destroyed everything and and there was loss of life and loss of pride? Well, I’m the last days I hate to sound you know, I’m like I don’t care about the cable trace Jesus I mean because that’s what he told us in Revelation than signs to look for. Well, you know, I find that most of these tragic things are striking in areas where there’s the greatest unbelief.

That island is settled by people of the Islamic faith that need somebody to slap inside the head and say, Wake up, you’ve got the wrong religion. You’re worshiping a false God. You need to come to know Jesus. And we’re hoping that as a result, people will search and look and find the Lord Jesus Christ to save you and be saved. And I think these are all wake-up calls. My last question for you, Pastor, is I don’t exactly remember where it said it in the word, but didn’t it say somewhere that Christ would not return until every last person on the earth had heard of Him?

I have the opportunity to accept Him. That’s not correct. Well, we’re your friend who’s in 1924-14, where it says the Gospel of the Kingdom, the kingdom which is not being preached right now but will be preached during the tribulation period will be sent into all nations which I think obviously that the pipe that radio and television and other means of getting it out quickly it will happen during the tribulation period But that’s not for now. It’s for after the rapture during that seven years is one that will take place Okay, brother.

Hey, thank you very much I’m not seeing heaven but… Alright, don’t be a voice gets better. Richard, I think you’d like my CD series on Revelation 12 Hours, verse by verse. It’ll ladle out for you and I think you’ll find that very, very helpful. Alright. Me, we’re looking for Dwight in Clearwater, but somehow he must have gotten raptured out. We’re going to go now to Frank in Clearwater. Frank, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Oh, thank you very much, Dr.

Hank, for taking my phone call. I’ve got a question about Ezekiel chapter 38 versus 46. I’m going to show you how to I’m in my car. I flipped in war going out into the Middle East now as I believe up the End Times and I was reading something about the prophecy of Ezekiel in this chapter where Israel will be attacked by a nation from the North. Some of the commentators have different opinions in terms of who this nation is from the North that will attack Israel after the Rapture.

Some of the commentators are saying that we are not going to be able to do this. That Russia will be the nation who tries to attack and conquer Israel as well as take over the whole world after the rapture and right before the return of Christ. And I was just wondering what your view… Well, I believe it is Russia. The word chief there in verse 2 and in verse 3 is the Hebrew word washed. It’s the very same word that’s used in the Hebrew today for Russia.

And it’s really saying here that the prince of Russia and of Misha Kintubal, the Misha Kintubal Bible scholars point out are the ancient names of Moscow and Tobolsk, the eastern and western capitals of Russia. And obviously the Scofield Bible, which I use, came out in 1909 and it says here at the footnote that the primary reference is to the northern powers headed up by Russia all agree. That was agreed a hundred years ago at Scofield points out. But what is interesting here is that it says it would come from the north.

The Hebrew is the uttermost north and if you run your finger from Jerusalem to the north pole you’ll run right through Moscow. Moscow is located absolutely directly north of Jerusalem. When you talk about the Uddimos North, you can’t go any… Once you go through Russia, you hit the Arctic Sea. So there is no country further more north than Russia is. Obviously Russia is the only country that meets the description here, and it says it will come down from the north parts.

I don’t think it’s to take over the world. I think it’s to defeat the Antichrist who will be at that time ruling the Western world and Russia and China realize if they don’t get you know and knock this guy out of his seat he will control them as well and they don’t want that to happen. So they are really countering the Antichrist by coming against him and his headquarters will be in Israel. So the Antichrist will rule the Western world from Jerusalem as the of Christ and Russia and China come against him.

That triggers off Armageddon at the end of the tribulation period and at least two billion people are going to die. The Bible says in Revelation that third of all the people on the earth will be killed as a result of that conflict. But this is when Jesus comes back and you’ll notice later in the chapter It says that the Lord becomes angry and it says in verse 19 that surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel verse 20 so that the fishes of the sea and the fowls of the heaven and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep upon the earth and all the men that are upon the face of the earth shall shake at my presence.

Whoa, that’s the return of Jesus and so the whole earth is going to shake at his presence when he comes back and all his glory and all his power and defeats the armies of the world including Russia and he will then set up his rule of peace on earth. Good will toward men. So we are watching Russia emerge. You know Russia as we know it today didn’t really begin until 1917 the Bolshevik Revolution and China notice is coming up now as a major player that we are all concerned about and all the players are stepping up on the stage like the Bible describes it they would.

And it’s a fascinating time to be living. We believe that we’re obviously very close to the Lord’s return. It wasn’t until after World War I that the Turkish Empire was broken up and we have all the players in the Middle East popping up. You know, Saudi Arabia didn’t really become a nation, a sovereign nation until 1927, Iraq until 1932, Syria 1941, Lebanon 1946, Israel 1948, Egypt 1922. This is Jordan 1927, Turkey 1920, this is all after the World War I.

You know, God tricked the world in World War I and the players start popping up on the playing stage for the end times and it’s all been since that event and then of course israel then was allowed to be formed after the world war two and uh… and then the more recent complex of really brought us down to where uh… we are all dependent and the world is focused on the Middle East and and uh… it’s just all playing out exactly like the bible describes It’s so surreal at times.

I’m a believer, I believe, what the Bible tells me is the truth. But as you start to read what’s going to happen after the rapture in terms of… terms of uh… it seems so certain i witnessed in sharing the gospel i I use the opportunity of what’s going on in the Middle East, just the Irish and doctrine in terms of, you know, the end times and there will be a time when Christ returns as the judge and the ruler of the entire, it just seems so surreal at times and it’s hard to really, the end times.

I believe it’s true, it just seems like a storybook at times sometimes because it’s so dramatically different in terms of what’s happening before this conflict in the Middle East going on. I’m glad that Christ is going to come back and solve it because Obviously the nations are not able to solve it and you see the perplexity that they’re faced with and that’s what exactly what Jesus said It meant in Luke 1 25 the nations would have these problems with perplexity without solution and and Jesus is the only one That’s gonna solve this whole thing.

Amen. Well, thank you so much for your Addification and keep up the good work. All right. Thank you. You’re welcome. All right. We’re Welcome to Bibleline. Thanks for taking my call. In reference to what you were just saying about the Antichrist, beating in rule of coming down, do they have a falling out? Does the Bible say do they have a falling out with him? Or were they never under the control during this tribulation time? They don’t come under the mark or anything.

Let me just hang up and then I’ll listen on the radio. No, I don’t believe they come under the Antichrist control, but will come under his control. They realize unless they do something to stop the Antichrist. The Antichrist because more and more powerful, controlling all the old rich countries of the Middle East, controlling all of Europe and America, combining their forces together And with the desire to have a world order that everybody comes under the thumb of the West, China and Russia decide this can’t be in a launch and attack upon the Antichrist.

I believe that’s what Armageddon is all about. And this strike by Russia is going to be like the Pearl Harbor of World War II and figure off a nuclear exchange that will take all the lines of all the people on the planet Earth. And so it’s exciting. I think that we’re getting very close and we’re now going to go to Dwight in Clearwater Form and see where Dwight is here. Dwight is here now. Hey, hey, how you doing? Well, are you ready to be rapsing out, Dwight?

What’s going on? I’m getting those little PF flyers on my feet right now. Well, I’ll tell you, things are heating up and you’ll notice the involvement of all the countries I ran in Syria behind the scenes using the Hispilon and Hamas as instruments of their whole plan. It’s exciting. What do you have for? Is anything? Well, yeah, some very interesting things that happened this morning. I’ve been waiting for the Alaxa martyrs brigade to pop into the picture and they just did this I did this morning.

They took credit for ambushing an IDF force patrol. I won’t get into the graphic details, but they’ve officially come into the fray here. What I find interesting, I’d like you to comment on it. They are the… They are the enforcement wing of the Temple Mount and as far as their security. I’ve been wondering when it seems, you know, Israel’s made the statement they’re going to go after every terrorist group. Well in the time to come are they going to get rid of them and maybe retake the Temple Mount?

That’s one aspect of it. So far according to Fox, another issue, I guess 50 rockets have hit Haifa. But the most amazing thing that has come across the news this morning is Russia hinted that her army may be available for a peacekeeping force in Israel. So, there’s enough. So, I’m going to hang up and let you talk about that. Oh, Harold, you’ve been promoted from an atheist to an agnostic. I’ll come to that determination. Take care, buddy. Okay. Okay.

We’ll have to do what Harold says about that, whether he’s moved from absolutely in total denial of a god to saying, I really don’t know. Maybe there is a god out there. Well thank you for that comment. We are living, obviously as we said, in a time when the whole Middle East is all embroiled in this thing, somehow or another, they’re all connected. The connection, of course, is Islam and the hatred for the state of Israel. That’s what has really been the connector between all of these.

We get closer and closer. This is not going to be resolved as long as you have people like the Hezbollah and Hamas that have actually founded themselves based upon the principle of destroying Israel. That’s what they live for. That’s what it’s all about. So obviously they’re not going to solve it as long as they’re in charge, especially as they have been in the government of Gaza and the government of Lebanon. Israel has the right idea. They’re going to have to obviously knock them out of that seat so they don’t have the capacity.

to control and use Lebanon as a place to launch rockets against Israel and also from the Gaza to launch rockets against Israel. And you see how that truly Iran and Syria have been the suppliers. And Israel is… He is doing the right thing to preserve their country. This is going to survive. The Bible says that God will save them out of all these troubles, but through these troubles we believe Israel is being prepared, and many, many Jewish people are going to trust Jesus as Savior right after the Rapture.

So that’s exciting. We’re going to go to George in Palm Beach Gardens And George, let’s see here. George, welcome to Bibleline you’re on the air. Good morning. I need a little explanation here. In chapter 19 we have. We have the Armageddon, the 20 Satanist, thrown into the abyss. And he’s sealed so that he can’t deceive the nations again. 20, we have the Goggin Magoggin. He deceived the nationLib. So my questions are this. What is the difference between Armageddon and Goggin Magog besides the 1,000 years the two?

And if he was sealed, so he couldn’t deceive the nations, how Shoals did he do that after that he was released? OK, we’re good question, George. Actually, there are two battles named Gog and Megaog, the one in Ezekiel, Chapter 38, which is Russia coming against Israel at the Battle of Armageddon. And then at theResidents, there’s the battle called the Battle of Gog and Megaog, which is the reference where Satan is loosed. And he obviously got radar for those that are unsaved and will actually round up those that had not trusted the Lord during that thousand year period.

And there will be one last final battle. It’s kind of like Tuster’s last stand. And of course Satan is defeated, cast into the lake of fire revelation 20 verse 10. And then of course Satan’s angels are cast in. And then all of the lost of all ages are brought up out of Hades and they’re judged according to their works, the site of the degree of punishment and hell and cast into the eternal lake of fire. So that’s kind of the scenario and you have to obviously distinguish between the two battles that both have the same title, Gog and Magog.

Alright, we’re now going to go to Wilburn and he’s up there in Richmond, Virginia. Wilburn, welcome to Bibleline your own ear. Wilburn, are you there? Hello, Wilburn. I guess Wilburn’s not there. Wilburn, are you there? And I think we have lost Wilburn. Anyway, if you’d like to call in, the number is 1-800-576-3771, 1-800-576-3771. We invite you to call in. If you have a question or comment, share your questions with us. We have Joyce in Charlottesville, New York, and she asked also, explain the unpardonable sin.

sin is that of the rejection of Christ. In Mark 3 you have it described there as the sin of the blasphem against the Holy Spirit, which is really the same thing as the sin of rejection of Christ. Because what happened there is that Christ had healed a man, but they couldn’t denied the fact that he had been healed. And so they didn’t. They said he could heal, but he does it by Satan’s power. And it says in verse 30 of Mark chapter 3, they were in danger of eternal damnation because they said that Christ had an unclean spirit.

In other words, he was healing by the power of Satan, not by the power of Christ. And so that is what makes the difference. So the unpardonable sin is the rejection of Christ, and that’s the only sin that can take you to hell. The blast from me against the Holy Spirit is to say Christ is an imposter and healed by the power of Satan and not by the power of the Holy Spirit. So I hope that helps answer your questionidav we somehow lost Wilburn but I think Wilburn has now returned and Wilburn welcome to Babylon.

Good morning, God bless. The Bible says that Jesus taught in the synagogue early in the morning, I guess, to crowd the people. And my question is, when does the Bible say, or do you think the… Well, Christian Church started at Pentecost, you know, when the Holy Spirit came, that began the birthday of the Church, and we are obviously living in what we call the Church age, which will conclude with the Rapture. And so we’re getting really, really close. We’re at the end of Bibleline.

I think we still have a couple of seconds, so I’d like to say if you haven’t trusted Christ as your Savior, you need to do that. It’s the most important decision you’ll ever make in your life. And so just tell the Lord, Lord, I’m a sinner.

I don’t understand much about the Bible, but I believe Jesus Christ died for me. Paid my sin dead and full was buried and rose again from the dead. The moment you trust him, God will give you the wonderful gift of eternal life. Then make that second decision and live for him and serve him. And you’ll find that that’s where the rewards, the blessings come in as you choose to live for Christ once you become saved. Again, I’m Dr. Hank Lindstrom.
