Oh my days! This is HUGE news. If we are still all here to read this, I now know that time is very short indeed. From the time that I heard the news that President Trump is removing the US troops from Syria, my senses began prickling. However, the alarm bells didn't start clanging until I saw the Middle East update from our brother Amir Tsarfati. A link for this you tube clip below. I'm sure a lot of you may have seen it already. The immediate thing that sprang to my mind is that "the Restrainer" is being removed. I don't know where that thought came from... it just appeared. Then I found an incredible article from the late, great, wonderful Jack Kelley about who or what "the Restrainer" is. WOW! I will quote briefly from Jack's article. Bear in mind - Jack was also covering possibilities as he too was seeing through a glass darkly, at the time of writing. I will quote the relevant part and leave you to read the rest in the link. Jack is talking about 2 Thessalonians 2 re the Restrainer. I put it to you all that the "Restrainer" (or - A Restrainer in the Middle East) is none other than the United States of America. Which explains why America is not mentioned in the end times. PLEASE bear with me and read the evidence. Quoting from Jack below:-
" When speaking about the power holding the Anti-Christ back in verse 6, the Greek word Paul used is in the gender neutral. But in verse 7, he used personal pronouns of the masculine gender to describe the one exercising the power. By this we conclude that whoever is restraining the appearance of the Anti-Christ has to be a living entity - not a thing. And, he has to be very powerful since according to verse 9, the Anti-Christ's appearance is a work of Satan. Suddenly, this living entity will be taken out of the place where the Anti-Christ is trying to appear on earth - freeing him to make his appearance. And from that point on, the power of the Anti-Christ will beunrestrained - allowing him to do Satan's worst" ........My note.... you don't get any more powerful than the USA - human militarily speaking.
I will leave a link for Amir's update (very important ... he looks pale but is putting his faith in Jesus). A link for Jack's article. Then a link re the announcement that the USA is leaving Syria.
I feel it's obvious that a huge restraining force is being removed or "taken out of the way" in order that the axis of evil can act without any barriers. THE Restrainer is obviously a larger entity. But, I am sure that the USA has been a massive restraining force in the Middle East. I am also sure that this is why the USA is not mentioned in end time prophecies. Simply..... they aren't there anymore.
I don't think I have ever felt so sure of being led by the Holy Spirit as much as I have been this time.
Almighty God, we pray for Israel. Your land and your people, Israel. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and Almighty God's will be done.
In Jesus' beloved precious Name we pray.
