The Serious Mistake Of Assuming The Rapture Will Not Happen In Your Lifetime7/28/23 By Tim Buck
Fotet.org
“Behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.”
Revelation 22:12
There’s no greater joy amid our struggles and sorrows than looking forward to the Rapture and the joys of Heaven. It will be an experience and paradise that far exceeds our imagination.
JESUS IS COMING SOON
In the past, some believed they knew the exact timing of the Rapture and as a result brought shame to the cause of Christ and turned many Christians away from the study of future things.
Today, many people make an equally serious mistake; they assume the Rapture will not happen in their lifetime and thus believe that nothing will alter the future course of their lives nor interrupt their aspirations. I’m not saying we shouldn’t make plans or have goals, but as the signs of the Lord’s return multiply, we must hold them loosely in our hands (James 4:13-17).
God’s Word tells us there will be a generation of believers alive at the time of Jesus’ coming to take us to glory (1 Corinthians 15:51; 1 Thessalonians 4:17). The myriad of signs pointing to the nearness of the seven-year Tribulation indicate that we are very close to meeting Jesus in the air before we die.
How can we not rejoice at such a possibility?
Jesus is coming very soon! It’s because we don’t know the day or hour that we look for His appearing as though it could happen at any moment, just as He commanded us to do.
I know for many, the biblical event we refer to as the “Rapture” seems a bit scary, but please understand it will be the most wonderful and joyful experience you can imagine, and as Paul said, “far better” than anything down here! Jesus has lovingly taken into account any apprehension we might have about this sudden interruption to our lives; we have no reason to fear.
HEAVEN WILL FILL OUR HEARTS WITH JOY
Is there a greater source of encouragement during these trying times than the exciting adventure that begins when we meet Jesus in the air? I don’t believe so.
Is it any wonder that Paul instructs us to “encourage one another with these words” after discussing the events associated with the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:18). The promise of meeting Jesus “in the air” was to be a source of comfort and edification for Thessalonian believers. The silence in so many churches regarding the Rapture tells me they no longer believe that Paul’s many admonitions apply to today’s believers, but they are mistaken for not reminding the saints to be ready!
The Rapture will mark the beginning of us seeing the Lord who escorts us into the Father’s House into the glory of the Throne Room described in Revelation 4 and 5, which will fill our hearts with boundless joy. It seems inconceivable why pastors are so afraid to talk about the rapture today since we are most likely the generation that will be “caught up to meet the Lord in the air.”
THE WARNINGS ARE EVERYWHERE
We live in the season of Jesus’ appearing to take His church home to glory. Please don’t make the mistake of assuming that the Rapture cannot happen today, this week or this month. We live at a time when the convergence of signs point to the soon arrival of the Tribulation and thus to our meeting Jesus in the air before it begins.
Longtime pastor and prophecy teacher David Jeremiah recently warned that those who ignore the reality of Christ’s imminent return do so at “their own peril.” In his interview with The Christian Post, he also said this about the Rapture:
“There’s no excuse for us, if we read the Bible, to be surprised, because the Bible tells us that this is going to happen. There’s no sign of the return of Christ and the Rapture, but there certainly is a prediction of the kind of season it’s going to be . . . . I believe that Christians really need to stay glued to the Scripture and not get too far away from the truth because it’s so precarious right now.”
I can’t keep up with all the warnings and I don’t know how it could be possible for the Lord to give us more warnings of what’s about to happen than what He’s giving to us at this moment.
‘THE SOUND OF FREEDOM’
Take for instance the evil of CHILD TRAFFICKING! Could anything be more demonic than stealing children and selling them into sexual slavery to a lifetime of abuse and demoralization. Last night we went to see “THE SOUND OF FREEDOM” exposing this tragic blight on humanity. If you haven’t seen this… you should! It’s playing now!
CLICK GRAPHIC BELOW.
Yet so many believers remain asleep in a bubble of normalcy, deaf to the alarm bells ringing in their ears, and blind to the signs given to them throughout Scripture. Sadly, a great many Christians are lulled into such drowsiness by “Bible-believing” pastors who promote the false veil of normalcy by proclaiming a message of “peace, peace” (Jeremiah 6:13-14).
PERHAPS TODAY
As I look at the wickedness, violence, rampant deception, and extreme lawlessness in America, I’m certain that we live on borrowed time. God’s judgment on the country that I love is long overdue but like the Rapture, sure to come!
Someday, perhaps today, the Lord will say “enough,” and He’ll remove every single living believer from off the face of the earth… “in the twinkling of an eye.”
Don’t fall for the lie that these things cannot begin in our lifetime.
It could all begin on a day just like today!

A Wild Week In Israel!
Eyes of the World Watching!!7/31/23 By Tim Buck
Fotet.org
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also
be against Judah.
Zechariah 12:1
We are watching the events unfold in Israel closely which appears like Prime Minister Benjamín
Netanyahu and his religious-right government against the world. He’s trying to break the control of Israel’s Supreme Court over the voice of the elected government. But the enemy prefers it the way it is because the current situation allows the Judicial Branch to cancel any progress the government makes toward strengthening Israel’s control over the Promised Land (West Bank) and the Temple Mount.
Israel’s religious-right government wants the Jewish people to be allowed more prayer time on the Temple Mount and they want to start making plans to build their Temple. But Satan and Biden see red flags in that direction and are doing everything they can to disrupt the progress and prevent Israel from gaining more control over their land… God’s land!
From Zechariah’s prophecy above we can asses that Israel’s dicey political predicament is all of God’s doing and part of God’s plan to stir up controversy between the world and Israel’s control of Jerusalem. The Bible predicts that in the last days Israel’s land and control over Jerusalem will become a world-wide controversy with the international community pushing Israel to divide the land and give up Biblical Jerusalem to a people it doesn’t belong to. We’re watching prophecy unfold before our eyes!
It has been quite a week in Israel. Protests and counter-protests have filled the streets. Major votes have taken place in the Knesset. The liberal elites have been steering the nation down a very destructive road, but now the conservative majority is beginning to fight back. It has gotten ugly at times, and it will likely continue to be so. Please pray that God brings peace and righteousness to the nation, its people, and its leaders.
Prime Minister Netanyahu Received Pacemaker
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a pacemaker implanted on Sunday, a week after having to be hospitalized. That initial incident, which doctors say was caused by dehydration, revealed some urgent problems that needed to be addressed. Many were surprised when it was later revealed by the hospital doctors that Bibi has hidden from the public long-term heart issues. The prime minister later released a video from the hospital expressing his gratitude and telling his supporters, “As you can see, I’m doing great.”
Judicial Reform Passes and the Left Wing Explodes
Last week the streets of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv filled with conservative supporters of judicial reform and the Netanyahu administration. On Monday, the first bill of the judicial reform, the “Reasonableness Standard Bill”, was approved by the Knesset 64-0, after the opposition members left before the vote. Monday night, the streets filled again, this time with liberals expressing their outrage at the legislative body’s action. This bill was the first step in turning the country back into what the government of Israel was 30 years ago, before the Supreme Court began to expand their oversight. The word “reform” here is not referring to some new shrinking of the Supreme Court’s mandate, while pouring more power into the legislative branch, as the liberal, fake news press will tell you. It is restoring the walls of the checks and balances to where they were three decades ago. This reversion to what once was is essential for the health and future of Israel.
Possible Coup Attempt in Israel
It’s no surprise to anyone in Israel that former prime minister Ehud Barak is not a member of the Bibi Netanyahu fan club. The extent of his disdain for the current prime minister has taken some off guard. A video clip has been circulating through social media that shows that Barak has been plotting a coup d’état against Netanyahu for several years now. The governmental and social crisis stemming from the judicial reform bill appears to have provided him the opportunity to implement his plan. Is this real or are people reading too much into a video? For Israel’s Transport Minister Miri Regev, it is more than enough. She has sent a letter to Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara asking for a full investigation to be opened into Barak’s actions.
Israel’s Enemies Betting that the Country will Implode
If you put a senior commander from Iran’s Quds Force, two Iranian security officials, and leaders from Hamas together in a room for three hours, what do you get? You get a plan for the destruction of Israel, of course! What was unusual about this meeting was that its plan of action was one of inaction. Given the extent of the division and unrest within Israel over the judicial reform, they determined that they should just lay low for a while and see if Israel implodes. In fact, they were concerned that if they did act, it could rally people around Netanyahu, strengthening his position. By Quds and Hamas standards, it is truly a brilliant plan. They understand that the progressive left anarchists in Israel are doing a far better job in weakening Israel’s government and military than they themselves could, even if they started a war.
The Miracle of Israel’s Economy
Israel was facing a financial perfect storm. Contention and strife filled the Knesset. Hundreds of thousands of people from both sides of the judicial issue had taken to the streets. Pundits from the full gamut of media methods were predicting doom and gloom for Israel’s economy. Then, for the coup d’gras, on Tuesday Morgan Stanley lowered Israel’s credit rating, while Moody’s warned of a “significant risk” of “negative consequences for Israel’s economy and security situation.” The threat of one of these could damage the economy. But all of them at once? This was going to be a fiscal bloodbath. The financial sector waited for Wednesday’s inevitable stock market crash. But as the hours rolled by, the prophecies of economic destruction did not come to pass. In fact, at the end of the day Israel’s stock market was up! Will there be financial struggles in Israel in the future? There could be, particularly with the dogged determination of the progressive left media to drag Netanyahu down and nuke the judicial reform. Even Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, recently made comments about how the Israeli media is irresponsibly sowing fears in the hearts of the many in Israel. Of course, he sees this as a good thing. But don’t believe the naysayers. The rumors of the death of Israel’s economy are greatly exaggerated. On the contrary, thanks to God’s blessing, the economy of the State of Israel continues to be one of the strongest in the world!

Biblically Pure Red Heifer Arrives In Ancient Shiloh, Captivating Visitors And Researchers
Shiloh was home to Israel’s tabernacle and was the center of spiritual life in ancient Israel.
Modern Shiloh built its synagogue to resemble the ancient tabernacle. When we visit Israel next year, we may be able to visit Shiloh to see the sight of the tabernacle and now the red heifers.
Red Heifers Arrive In Shiloh
7/21/23 By Tim Buck
Fotet.org
New developments for “The Quest to Build the Jewish Temple” are coming at a fast pace. Don’t miss our exciting Movie Night in just over 2 weeks to learn much more.
Visitors recently flocked to Shiloh in Samaria’s Binyamin region to welcome a biblically pure red heifer back home to the sight of Israel’s first sacrifices.
The 22-month-old cow, which was brought to Israel from the United States, found a new home at the Ancient Shiloh heritage site, where the biblical Tabernacle once stood.
In the coming month, two more heifers will be transported to the town, and a center will open there dedicated to researching the phenomenon. The heifers will be kept in a fenced-off area, able to be viewed by visitors. Just a few years ago, this seemed more like a fairy tail, but in today’s end times, the impossible becomes reality almost daily.
Shiloh is an ancient city located about 30 miles north of Jerusalem. For generations, it was Israel’s spiritual center.
It was the first permanent home to the tabernacle where the Ark was housed, offerings were brought, and where Hannah offered her famous prayer.
The First Holy Temple was built in Jerusalem by King Solomon, roughly three thousand years ago. Until then, God’s “home” — the Tabernacle — was in Shiloh. Jewish spiritual life was centered there and Jews performed aliyah (pilgrimage) and brought offerings there — for 369 years, until the death of Eli, the High Priest, when the Ark was stolen by the Philistines and, it seems, Shiloh was destroyed (I Samuel, chapter 4).
The mysterious red heifer, or Parah Adumah, is first mentioned in the Book of Numbers, when God instructs Moses and Aaron to take “a perfectly red unblemished cow, upon which no yoke was laid.” The animal is subsequently slaughtered, and its ashes are used in a purification ritual.
The discovery of an entirely red such heifer is a rarity. Jewish sources state that only nine were slaughtered in the period from Moses to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD.
In keeping with biblical law, the heifer put on display in Shiloh is completely red, and has never borne a yoke.
“This is an exciting and exceptional event for the entire Jewish people,” said Ancient Shiloh CEO Coby Mamo. “We are already in touch with researchers and promoters around the world who are waiting to come here with large groups.
We have returned to the site of the Tabernacle in Shiloh and are bringing back the Jewish past for the future of our people.”
Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz called the cow’s arrival a “historic moment.”
“The Ancient Shiloh site is continuing to grow and develop, and the Red Heifer Center will attract more visitors, up to one million a year, from Israel and around the world,” he added, calling it “good news for the Jewish world, for scientists and researchers, and for everyone.”

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei greets Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Iran
Hezbollah Gearing Up For Showdown With Israel
In a series of strategic political and military moves, Hezbollah is intensifying preparations for an imminent confrontation with Israel, drawing global attention and raising concerns about regional stability.
Under the guise of the battle over an Israeli border barrier, the Lebanese terrorist group aims to preserve its option of invading the Galilee, while also serving Iran’s interests in establishing a foothold in Syria.
Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is promoting the deployment of his forces along the border, with over 30 observation posts in place there. Lebanese sources suggest that the group is readying itself for a prolonged conflict with Israel, which it believes is gradually accepting new rules of engagement set by Nasrallah.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas speaks during a meeting of the PA leadership, in Ramallah
Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas Seeks to Create a Government of TerroristsThe Palestinian Authority is seeking to revive an initiative for the formation of a national ‘unity government’ consisting of several terrorist factions, including Hamas and Iran’s Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Palestinian officials in Ramallah recently reported.
The proposal, officials said, will be presented to leaders of Palestinian factions who have been invited to a meeting in the Egyptian capital of Cairo at the end of July.
In addition to Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the leaders of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) have also been invited to participate in the meeting.
All four groups are strongly opposed to the Oslo Accords and any form of normalization with Israel. They have also repeatedly called on the PA leadership to sever all relations with Israe

Decades of US corn export dominance fade as Brazil seizes top supplier crown
CHICAGO (Reuters) – U.S. corn export dominance is fading in an increasingly competitive global marketplace as Brazil, aided by a new supply agreement with China, is set to out-ship the U.S. for just the second time ever this season.
Meanwhile, Mexico, America’s other top market, is preparing to limit imports of genetically modified corn that comprises more than 90% of every U.S. harvest.
The eroding export market share spells trouble for the $90 billion U.S. corn industry as domestic demand for feeding livestock and producing ethanol has also cooled. Plantings of America’s most widely grown crop are likely to decline and farm incomes could suffer in the years ahead as a result, analysts said.

Hunter Biden’s Chinese partners recruited ex-CIA director to do Beijing’s bidding
The think tank official who gave the FBI info on Hunter Biden reached out to former CIA director James Woolsey, prosecutors say.
A Chinese energy conglomerate linked to Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly recruited former president Bill Clinton’s CIA director to do Beijing’s bidding, raising questions about what the firm sought from the Biden family.
According to federal prosecutors, CEFC China Energy funded a scheme to “recruit” former CIA director James Woolsey to pen articles for Chinese state-run media that promoted Chinese government initiatives. Prosecutors allege that CEFC China Energy ran the operation through Gal Luft, the co-director of a think tank Woolsey founded. Luft is charged with failing to register as a foreign agent for “work related to Chinese foreign principals.” Luft, a dual Israeli and American citizen, disclosed earlier this year that he was under investigation, but claimed he was targeted because he provided the FBI with information about Hunter Biden’s work for CEFC China Energy in 2019.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai sounded the alarm about the dangers of using AI to create fake videos of public figures, a task he says will soon be “easy.”
Pichai made the comments during a conversation with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” telling interviewer Scott Pelley that Google is placing limits on its Bard AI to prevent misuse.
“It will be possible with AI to create– you know, a video, easily. Where it could be Scott saying something, or me saying something, and we never said that,” Pichar told Pelley. “And it could look accurate. But you know, on a societal scale, you know, it can cause a lot of harm.”

Biden proposal would give foreign climate group veto power over U.S. military contracts
A British environmentalist group was founded with money from a liberal dark money group.
A new Biden administration rule aimed at reducing carbon emissions would give approval authority over large U.S. defense contracts to a little-known British environmentalist group that just incorporated two weeks ago.
Under the White House’s proposed rule change, a London-based group called the Science Based Targets Initiative that is funded by the Democratic Party’s main dark money network would be responsible for approving the carbon emissions reduction plans of large federal contractors.
The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is a fee-based service that helps companies set emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and verifies their progress. But its foreign status and murky financial background raise questions about the Biden administration’s decision to outsource its vetting process to the group. Critics say the proposal would give SBTi enormous veto power over American defense contracts and access to potentially sensitive data about U.S. military suppliers.

Hezbollah slowly rewrites the rules on the northern border
Hezbollah believes Israel is deterred from getting into a conflict and as a result they’ve become increasingly aggressive in their provocations near the border.
This week saw a rise in tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with Hezbollah driving this rise in tensions by increasing the tempo of its provocation. This has included setting up tents in the disputed Mount Dov Area several months ago and then trying to use these as leverage to get changes of the border near the village of Ghajar.
Hezbollah is doing these operations as part of a larger plan to rewrite the rules of how it deals with Israel. Hezbollah believes Israel is deterred. It learned from the maritime deal last year that creating new claims and demands and then claiming that if Israel doesn’t concede something there might be “war” is a successful tactic.
