Four Angels At the Euphrates; a different look …Euphrates pt 1

Pastor Bill Randles always has very interesting insights – especially for the times we live in. I’m always happy to reblog his posts.

And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,  Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.  And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.(Revelation 9:13-16)

The Euphrates river is a place deeply embedded in Salvation history, and indeed holds a prominent place in the history of human civilization. The name ‘Euphrates’ is a greek Transliteration of the Hebrew ‘Parat’, which means ‘fruitful’, coming from the same Hebrew root as the name Ephraim,’God has made me fruitful’.The prefix “Eu” means good or well, thus the Euphrates is the” Well fruited river”.

The Euphrates was one of the original four rivers which watered the garden of…

How to Ignore “Discernment Bloggers” and Stay Comfortably Clueless

Emergent Watch

[This is a Repost of Steve Kozar’s piratechristian.com satire of 9/14/2016]

Want to stay comfortable in your (theologically shallow & Biblically illiterate) Christian beliefs? Even if those beliefs are not really based on God’s Word?? Of course you do! Here’s a guide that will keep you in the dark, and will help you to avoid the bothersome content of whichever discernment bloggers are currently bugging you:

• Start with this assumption: There aren’t any false teachers. With this handy starting point everything else falls comfortably into place. Just tell yourself that people who proclaim a different Gospel are just… different. It’s like the difference between hotdogs and hamburgers. If there are no false teachers, then it logically follows that all discernment bloggers are wrong. Now you won’t have to consider what they say!
• Go with the group. If the majority agrees with you, you must be right. Remember, Jesus wants you to follow…

A Jupiterian President?…The West in Prophecy pt 10

Hi everyone!
I’m afraid my days for blogging have almost come to a standstill . I am now 80 and it’s easier now for me to to re-blog what other Christians are currently saying , but I’m sure you will find them as interesting as I do …. at least I hope so.
I particularly like Bill Randles articles because they are topical and relevant for the times we live in. My – we’ve seen some changes haven’t we?
Thank God we know what happens in the end – come quickly Lord Jesus!

French president Emmanuel Macron has declared he will govern France like Jupiter, the Roman king of the gods, shortly after officials told the media his thought process was “too complex” for journalists to understand.
Summoning over 900 politicians from both houses of the French parliament to a rare Congress at the palace of Louis XIV – the ‘Sun King’ – in Versailles, he threatened to overrule lawmakers with a referendum if they try to frustrate the “reforms” he wishes to impose on the legislature. Such assemblies are usually reserved for times of national crisis.

Reuters reports him as saying he desires to reign as a “Jupiterian” president – “a remote, dignified figure, like the Roman god of gods, who weighs his rare pronouncements carefully”.(Emmanuele Napolean; Macron Declares He will Govern like a Roman God”)

In these times of constant prophecy fulfillment, those of us who watch things closely, often…

The Coming Test of Division…Satan desires to have us… part 1

Excellent article by Bill Randles -it’s the same problems here in UK of course.

Pastor Bill Randles Blog

 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.(Micah 7:6)
 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.(Matthew 10:35-36)

Jesus warned us of an extremely demanding test which would come upon the entire world, the effect of which would be strife and division even down to the level of enmity in each and every household.  This will be a universal test, Christians also will be severely tested by the Spirit of Division which is coming upon the world.

Humanly speaking, intense demands are put upon our society in the form of quite a few issues…

Syria’s Agonizing Future Foretold…

Pastor Bill Randles Blog

(This is a rerun in view of recent developments) 

The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap. The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.(Isaiah 17:2)

To get an idea of just how apocalyptic our times actually are, consider recent events of heartbreaking and shattering significance , in the Middle East , just since the 2011 Arab Sring , which I wrote about in my book A Sword On The Land: The Muslim World in Bible Prophecy ,

Egypt went from being a relatively stable nation run by Hosni Mubarek, an ally in the war on terror and a hard headed realist, then descended into a time of bloody unrest and even civil war, due to Washington DC’s insertion of the once banned Muslim Brotherhood…

It Would Be Better Not to Have Had A Prayer Meeting…

Pastor Bill Randles is spot on again ….

Pastor Bill Randles Blog

And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.  Thou shalt have no other gods before me.(Exodus 20:1-3)

I hate to be negative, in the after glow of the inauguration and the hope of a new administration. It seems that God has sent a burst of fresh air to a nation beaten down for more than eight long years of feckless leadership, and berated constantly by an ungodly elite class.

But we must be realistic.

I happened to tune into the prayer meeting at the national Cathedral, just in time to hear the two Imams recite “scripture” in the presence of our newly sworn in President and Vice President.

How is it possible to truly beseech the blessing and favor of God, when Satan(Allah) is also acknowledged, as well as Hindu, Sihk…

Mosul (Ninevah) in Prophecy…

Another excellent article by Bill Randles :

Pastor Bill Randles Blog

The ancient city of Mosul, in Iraq, is currently experiencing an agonizing struggle between regular forces of the Iraqi Government, allied with the Kurdish Peshmurga , local Iraqi militias and supported by US and international coalition forces, seeking to wrest the city from the forces of the recently formed ISIS army. The joint operation is called in Arabic, Qadimun Ya Naynawa, translated “Oh Ninewa,Here We come!”. 

Can you see in the Arabic translation the name of an ancient Biblical city?  Ninewa is the Arabic way of saying, “Ninevah”, the city which Jonah had once preached repentance unto, in spite of his reluctance to even go there.Mosul is the modern name for the city of Ninevah.

In the year 2014, ISIS took Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq with a mere 1,500 fighters, due largely to the deep dissatisfaction of the cities Sunni majority, with the Shiite Government of Iraq…
