The original on this had a big United Nations logo, but for some reason it would not transfer to this email.   Might this 7 year period from September of 2023 till September of 2030 be referring to the 7 year Tribulation Period?!   Maybe!   If so, what does that mean?   Well, it would mean that the Rapture would now be extremely close, like in the next month!!!   Remember that Israel is now over 75 years old, and in the "parable of the fig tree" in the Bible, the "generation" to see Israel return as a nation (1948) will see all end time events come to pass!  That includes the upcoming Rapture, 7 year Tribulation Period, and then the Second Coming of Christ.   So, what precisely is a "generation"?   Well, 75 years + 7 year Tribulation = 82 years, which is now the miminum time period from 1948 to the Second Coming of Israel's Messiah, Who is Christ.   Would 82 years classify as a "generation"?   Personally I think so, and I believe that this September is a very high watch period for the Rapture!  So, why September?  Is that a special month in some way?  Yes, in September will be the "Feast of Trumpets", also known as "Rosh Hashanah" to us Jewish follks.  This Jewish feast is the feast most closely related to the Rapture.  Is everyone ready to go Home?   How about a resurrection body and being with the Lord forever?!   Sounds vastly superior to the frailities of this world, doesn't it?!   But one must know Christ as one's Lord and Savior to have their ticket for the Rapture!  If you do not already know Him, just pray and ask Him into your heart!  You will not regret it!  That is the greatest understatement of all time!

P.S.   Personally I am very excited about our chances now for the "Great Uppity-Uppity" event!   VERY EXCITED!   Even should it not be this September, the Rapture must still be near!!  The Rapture must be before the antichrist comes on the global stage and makes the Daniel 9:27 false peace covenant with Israel and many nations.  The Bible is 100% accurate!

P.P.S.   Some of you receiving this email are my Jewish friends who do not know our Messiah.   If you see the Rapture happen (people missing all over the world), ask Him (Jesus) into your heart and cling to Him during the rough times awaiting you during the 7 year Tribulation Period!

P.P.P.S.  (Whew, running out of "P's"!)   For those of you in the "Church 52 End Time Bible Prophecy Class" that meets every Sunday morning, as soon as I find out if I will need more chemotherapy (hopefully not!), I will inform you as to when the prophecy class will resume!   I am very eager to get back to teaching!  

One more thing------- I am always available (I am now retired) to do a short refresher course in end time Bible prophecy in a home Bible study or church.  Very sadly this topic is rejected by the majority of churches, and there is Scripture on this as to why, but I am not going to go into it here.  This is THE most exciting time to be living in all of human history by far IF a person knows Christ as his or her Lord and Savior!

Ooops, yet just another thing------   I Thessalonians 4:16-18 states, "For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we shall always be with the Lord.  Therefore comfort one another with these words."   WOW!   Don't miss the Rapture!   Remember the U.S. government conference just recently on UFO's and aliens?  The conference determined that both are real.  Well that is going to be the FALSE explanation for the upcoming Rapture!

Good grief----- forgot one more thing!   See that date of 2030 in the article below?  Many think that Jesus' ministry was from 27 AD to 30 AD.  So, is that important?  Yep it is!   30 AD to 2030 AD just happens to be 2000 years precisely.  If you have access to a Bible (hopefully you do!), go read Hosea 6:1-3 and Luke 13:32 and 33!   "One day" to God is 1000 of our years, two days is 2000 years!   Ain't God awesome?!   And He sent His Son that whoever would believe in Him would not perish (Hell) and have ETERNAL life!   WOW!   A resurrection body and NEVER die!   Our limited human brains cannot fathom such a thing, but it is true!   Hell is a real place, and you really don't want to go there!   Jesus is the ONLY way to Heaven and eternal life!   There is no other way!  None!  That is for Jews and gentiles alike!  All others end up in Hell!  Very sad but true!   And finally look at two dates in the article below----- September of 2023 and then 7 years later, 2030.  Do the foks at the United Nations know what is really going on?   Nope, totally blind and unknowingly awaiting the arrival of the antichrist on the global stage!

We Need 7 Years of Accelerated, Transformative Action to Achieve SDGs

This article was first published by IISD SDG Knowledge Hub as part of a special guest article series, a collaboration between UN DESA and IISD.

13 June 2023 - Almost eight years have passed since the international community agreed to take bold and transformative steps to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a plan of action to secure the rights and well-being of everyone on a healthy, thriving planet. Today, at the halfway point to 2030, that promise is in peril and a fundamental shift is needed – in commitment, solidarity, financing, and action – to put the world on a better path. And it is needed now.

Promises in peril

The recently released ‘Report of the Secretary-General on Progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals’ draws on the latest data to sound the alarm for action. Of the roughly 140 targets with data, only about 12% are on track to be achieved by 2030; close to half, though showing progress, are moderately or severely off track; and some 30% have either seen no movement or regressed below the 2015 baseline.

Giving up on the SDGs or extending the deadline to meet them is not an option. The world has been rocked by a series of interlinked crises – the COVID-19 pandemic, conflict, the climate crisis, and a weak global economy. Recommitting to the 2030 Agenda is the best roadmap out of these crises, but we are fast running out of time to correct course.

Even before the events of the past three years, trust in public institutions had been declining for decades. Changes in the world of work, globalization, and technological breakthroughs – which raise aspirations, but also fears – left many people in a precarious position.

There is a narrowing window of opportunity over the next seven years to redouble our efforts to eliminate poverty and hunger, advance gender equality and overcome the triple planetary crisis. Failure to heed this call will fuel greater political instability and displacement, further erode trust in public institutions, upend economies, and lead to irreversible existential changes to our natural environment. Above all, it will cause immense suffering for current and future generations – especially among the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people and countries.

Making the SDG Summit a turning point

The SDG Summit, in September 2023, must signal a genuine turning point. It must mobilize the political commitment and breakthroughs our world desperately needs. It must deliver a rescue plan for people and planet.

At the center of this rescue plan, Heads of State and Government must recommit to seven years of accelerated, sustained, and transformative action, both nationally and internationally, to deliver on the promise of the SDGs. Leaders can show their resolve by adopting an ambitious and forward-looking political declaration at the SDG Summit and presenting global and national commitments for SDG transformation.

Delivering change at the speed and scale required to achieve the SDGs by 2030 will demand that political leaders make bold decisions to match their ambitions. It will require transferring resources from one sector to another, creating new regulatory environments, deploying new technologies, and mobilizing of a wide range of actors to advance disruptive change. Doing so can strengthen trust and social cohesion.

These efforts must be funneled toward securing dignity, opportunity, and rights for all while reorienting economies through green and digital transitions and towards resilient trajectories compatible with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement on climate change.

Just transitions are paramount with the need for universal social protection and decent job opportunities. These can be supported by initiatives like the UN Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection for Just Transitions, which is mobilizing political efforts to channel funds from international, national, public, and private sources, including from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

At the global level, a once-in-a-generation commitment is needed to overhaul the international financial and economic system so that it responds to today’s challenges, not those of the 1940s. It is essential that countries have the resources needed at scale to invest in both their immediate recovery and in long-term sustainable development outcomes, including climate action.

A surge in SDG financing is needed with an SDG stimulus of USD 500 billion per year, with simultaneous reforms of the international financial architecture to make it resilient, equitable, and accessible for all. It is also critical that developing countries have better access to global trade, science, technology, and innovation. Unprecedented collaboration among Group of 20 (G20) members will be needed to support developing countries to advance SDG and climate action.

It is not too late to turn things around. This generation is equipped with knowledge, technologies, and resources unprecedented in history. Breaking through to a better future for all demands that leaders put this advantage to use to lift hundreds of millions out of poverty, advance gender equality, put our world on a low-emissions pathway by 2030, and secure human rights for all.
