Is God WARNING President Trump…About the danger of Dividing the Covenant Land of Israel?

by Tim Buck | Aug 31, 2019 | President Trump, Tim's Articles

We need to pray for all those in harms way.

I can’t imagine what it would feel like if you had your investment/home in the current cone of a major Hurricane, not to forget the many others that will be impacted.

Hurricane Irma moved to the west border of Florida in 2017. It was a supernatural last minute movement that spared Miami and the areas around the city.

Is the Message Getting Through?

We have had an unprecedented five hurricane names retired during President Trump’s time in office thus far due to the size and cost of the storms; they were Harvey, Irma, Marie, Florence and Michael.

If Dorian travels the Hurricane Andrew path as some hurricane experts have mentioned (Andrew was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history before Katrina), the storm would likely be the sixth name to be retired.

Is there a Connection To the Trump Peace plan?

Is God warning President Trump not to divide the covenant land? God has repeatably sent similiar warnings to sitting US Presidents. Time will tell.

I have spoken before about the historical connection of US Presidents bringing pressure on Israel to divide the land and the unmistakable pattern of hurricanes that follow.

I’m not a prophet and don’t pretend to know things ahead of time. But there has been a pattern that we should be paying attention to.

After all, the people of Israel and the Covenant Land are the most important item on God’s end time agenda!

Wake up world!

As the Trump Plan is being discussed to be released this month, is it just a coincidence that a hurricane is bearing down on President Trump’s Florida White House?

There seems to be a definite chronology of the Trump Administrations statements regarding Israel’s covenant land during the past ten days.

Here’s what has happened thus far. Dorian began on Saturday and intensified at the very time President Trump and Jason Greenblatt mentioned submitting the “deal of the century!”

Israel’s Campaign to Disrupt the Iranian war machine in Syria spreads into Iraq and Lebanon

by Tim Buck | Aug 27, 2019 | Isreal, Tim's Articles

The Israeli air strikes that rocked the Syrian village of Aqrabah, southeast of Damascus, on Saturday night are the latest phase in an ongoing shadow war against Iran described by Israel as an “active defense campaign.”

The strikes destroyed an Iranian cell active in Syria commanded by Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani, which was planning multiple, simultaneous armed drone attacks into northern Israel, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

The Quds Force also plays a central role in trafficking large quantities of weapons to Iran’s Lebanese proxy, Hezbollah.

These incidents come days after U.S. officials said Israel was behind an air strike that destroyed an Iranian weapons storage facility in Iraq.

That facility was a base run by the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces Shi’ite militia. The base may have contained precision-guided missiles or other weapons that the Iranians stationed in Iraq temporarily, as part of a longer-term plan to shift them to Syria.

Ultimately, all these incidents can be viewed from a single vantage point. That perspective was spelled out clearly by IDF Maj. Gen (ret.) Yaakov Amdiror,
“We are trying to prevent Iran from building an Iranian war machine in Syria, everything is a result of this effort.”

Elements within Syria’s Assad regime turned a blind eye to the attack plan while other regime elements actively cooperated with it, according to the IDF, which said that Damascus was “definitely aware of what was happening, allowed it to happen on Syrian soil, and hence it is responsible as well.”

The IDF’s Northern Command is currently at an elevated state of alert, as the military assesses the situation, said Conricus.

Israel Strikes Hezbollah Stronghold Near Lebanon-Syria Border.

Israel carries out three airstrikes on Palestinian territory near Lebanon-Syria border belonging to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP);

This site was historically used as a cover-up for Hezbollah to attack Israel. Netanyahu: We won’t tolerate attacks on Israel from any country in the area. Any country that allows its territory to be used for attacks against Israel will bear the consequences. I stress: The state will bear the consequences.

Early Monday, Israeli aircraft(s) completed three separate strikes near the border of Lebanon & Syria.

The stronghold that they were targeting belonged to the Palestinians; more specifically, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP)-General Command.

Historically, this group and site have been utilized as a cover-up for Hezbollah to attack Israel. The damage done is materialistic in nature; no casualties are confirmed as of yet.

Israel’s preemptive war is widening from Syria into Iraq and Lebanon. Israel estimates Iran now has 60,000 troops operating in Iraq in addition to thousands in Syria and 80,000 Hezbollah forces in southern Lebanon.

In terms of Bible prophecy, this certainly looks like stage-setting for the events of the Tribulation.

There is a lot of tension building in Israel concerning the intentions of Israel’s surrounding enemies. We need to be praying for the peace of Jerusalem.

The Power of 4

by Tim Buck | Aug 24, 2019 | How to Live the Last Days, Tim's Articles

“If you abide in My word,
you are My disciples indeed” (John 8:31)

Some people like to work out, citing the endorphins that are released. But I dread working out. And I complain while I’m working out. But after I’m done, I’m glad that I did it.

That’s sometimes what it’s like to study the Bible. There are times we really want to read it and look forward to it. Then there are times when we get up in the morning and think, “I’ll just skip it today.” But then we do it anyway. That isn’t legalism; that’s discipline. And there’s a difference.

Discipline says, “I’m going to read the Bible because I need to do it. And I know
God wants me to do it. And when I’m done, I’ll be glad I did it.

Scripture reading is an absolute choice that we determine to do before anything else, even if it means that we don’t have time to check our social media or e-mails or texts. It’s something we must discipline ourselves to do. And here’s a good reason why.

The Center for Bible Engagement (CBE) recently did a study and came up with something I find very interesting called “The ‘Power of 4.’

In the research of 40,000 US believers, the study determined there is no measurable difference in behavior by encountering scripture 3 days or less times each week.

However, behavioral change is measurable and dramatic when encountering scripture a minimum of 4 days a week, hence the ‘Power of 4.’ Let me expand that point just a bit.

There is no statistical difference between Christians who read or listen to the Bible two to three days a week and those who do not engage scripture at all or only once a week. Think about that! However, there is a major impact when we read scripture a majority of days each week – 4 or more. We need to be in the word a majority of days (4 or 4) to receive the benefits of it’s transforming power.

In other words, filling our mind with God’s word a majority of the time in this ungodly culture is imperative if you want to live a victorious Christian life.

Attending church on Sunday is good but not enough. Listening to Christian radio is good but not enough. Like the Berean’s (Acts 17:11), who “searched the scriptures daily”, we need a steady diet of truth to offset the daily diet of debauchery we get fed.

David reminds of this when he says that the blessed man is the man who, “meditates in God’s Word day and night” (Ps. 1).

The CBE study found people who engage the Scriptures either by reading or listening 4 or more times per week were much less likely to engage in bad behavior. How much less likely?

• Getting drunk = 57% lower odds
• Sex outside marriage = 68% lower odds
• Pornography = 61% lower odds
• Gambling = 74% lower odds
• Average of other sins = 57% lower odds

“The ‘Power of 4’ is evident when we consider that for some of these behaviors (getting drunk and sex outside marriage) examined there is no statistical difference between Christians who read or listen to the Bible two to three days a week and those who do not engage scripture at all or only once a week.”

So how often to you read the Bible? How much do you want to reflect the glory of Jesus Christ to our fallen world? Like Moses, you’ll be more transformed by spending more days on the mountain with God!

If you’re not reading your Bible four or more times a week, then sadly, you won’t make significant choices or see changes any differently than someone who doesn’t read the Bible.

Jesus said, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed” (John 8:31) .

In today’s world, more than ever, we need to see the value of encountering God’s Word every day and make it our supreme priority.

President Trump confirms his Peace Plan will be released after Israel Elections

by Tim Buck | Aug 22, 2019 | Peace Plan, Tim's Articles

President Trump on Sunday confirmed that his administration would likely release its long-delayed peace plan after Israel’s elections in September.

“We will probably wait for the release of the Middle East peace plan until after the Israeli elections,” Trump told reporters, adding that the US might “release small parts of it beforehand.”

The plan was to have been unveiled this summer but was delayed after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to piece together a coalition following the April elections and called for a fresh vote, now scheduled for September 17.

The President has so far kept the political elements of his plan under wraps, while the economic aspects were presented in June by his son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner at the American-led conference in Bahrain.

The proposed economic plan would see a $50 billion investment package for the Palestinians and the wider region.

The Palestinians skipped the Bahrain conference and have rejected the peace plan outright, pressing on with their boycott of the administration since Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017 and cut Palestinian aid.

Netanyahu says he is willing to wait and see the contents of the plan but reiterated he will not compromise on Israel’s security.

The political plan has remained top secret. No details have been published so far about how the plan tackles the key issues of a potential Palestinian state, Israeli control over the West Bank, the fate of Jerusalem and the building of Israel’s Temple.

We will continue to wait for the other shoe to drop in terms of Bible prophecy, and it seems that a confluence of events are set to be triggered this fall.

The Temple Institute, which is the Jerusalem-based organization determined to build the Third Temple, has just carried out a test run of a red heifer sacrifice and burnt-offering.

Rabbi’s believe that once a real red heifer is sacrificed and burned, they can use the ash to ceremonially cleanse the Temple Mount and begin rebuilding the Temple.

Israel blocks Omar, Tlaib from entering country

by Tim Buck | Aug 16, 2019 | Isreal, Tim's Articles

Prime Minister Netanyahu confirms that the two Muslim, Anti-Israel, Democratic Freshmen Congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tliab will not be allowed to enter Israel.

Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister said Israel has decided to deny entry of the two democratic “Squad” members Omar and Tlaib over their support for boycotting the Jewish State.

It is good to see these two called out for their endless anti-Semitic remarks, comments and tweets that they have made against both the Jewish people and against the sovereign nation of Israel.

As the psalmist quoted below hath said, let them be turned back who hate Zion, and today they have been officially turned back.

“Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion.” Psalm 129:5

So tell me please, why is it that when Muslim women are finally elected to Congress, they immediately confirm every stereotype there is about how Muslims hate Jews and how they feel that Israel has no right to exist?

Thank you Ilhan and Rashida for showing us that stereotypes exist for a reason, because they’re true.

Israeli officials have decided to block U.S. Reps. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., and Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., from entering the country as part of a planned visit, a reversal that comes amid pressure from President Trump and concerns about their support for boycotts of Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, explaining the decision at length on his office’s Twitter account, said that Tlaib and Omar’s itinerary “revealed that they planned a visit whose sole objective is to strengthen the boycott against us and deny Israel’s legitimacy.”

Israel also worried that the congresswomen would visit the Temple Mount – the holiest site for Jews and third holiest for Muslims – along with Palestinian Authority officials which would stir up trouble after major controversy and unrest recently

Netanyahu said their travel plans referred to a trip to “Palestine,” not Israel, and the congresswomen were not interested in meeting with Israeli officials. He went on to note that the Palestinian organization that planned the visit, MIFTAH, supports the boycott movement, and that people associated with the group have supported terror against Israel in the past.

He said Israel welcomes critics with the exception of those who support boycotts of the Jewish State.

The decision itself was made by Interior Minister Arye Deri and announced earlier Thursday by deputy foreign minister Tzipi Hotovely, despite prior assurances that the congresswomen would be allowed in.

“Israel has decided — we won’t enable the members of Congress to enter the country,” Hotovely told public broadcaster Kan. “We won’t allow those who deny our right to exist in this world to enter Israel. In principle, this is a very justified decision.”

Omar and Tlaib were among 17 members of Congress who voted against a resolution condemning the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement in July. This was after Omar introduced a resolution of her own that encouraged the use of boycotts as a political tool, and told Al-Monitor that “it is an opportunity for us to explain why it is we support a nonviolent movement, which is the BDS movement.”

Netanyahu confirmed that Deri would consider permitting Tlaib to visit her Palestinian family members if she filed a humanitarian request and promised not to promote boycotts of Israel.
Meanwhile, Democrats expressed strong opposition to keeping Omar and Tlaib out.
Tlaib and Omar had been scheduled to arrive in Israel on Friday.
