We are approaching the Rapture.  As for the antichrist who will appear very soon after the Rapture, Israel will be deceived into thinking he is the Messiah.  Wrong!  The Messiah of Israel is Jesus, Who will return at the Second Coming a little more than 7 years after the Rapture.

   P.S.  Recently someone came to tell me about a sermon delivered from the pulpit of a large church in the Carmel, Indiana area.  The sermon was about "how we need to get along with one another", and very little Scripture was used during the course of the sermon.  It is so sad late in these End Times that so many churches are putting out little more than "people-pleasing non-offending fluff" from their pulpits!  Jesus never minced any Words, taught the FULL Gospel in love, and He offended many people!  Often He was run out of town, or asked to leave, or there were those who were seeking to kill Him.  What a shame that so many pastors do not want to be like Him, instead offering up a bunch of nothing from their pulpits because they care more about what people think than what God thinks!  Just so long as the building fund comes in and more people come through the church doors!

  P.P.S.  Isaiah 53 tells us that He was despised and rejected, yet ONLY through Him is eternal life! 

    

Spiritual Jewish Leader Rabbi Kanievsky: "Yell it From Loudspeakers, the Messiah is at the Door!"  Sad that this Rabbi thinks it'll be Yashua's  first coming ...  It's HIS SECOND! 8Apostle John "bear witness of that Light [Yashua]. 9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10He was in the world, the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. 11He came unto His own, and His own received Him not [Jews]." John 1:8-11 Oct 15, 2015 -- Rabbi Chizkiyahu Mishkovsky, the spiritual adviser for several distinguished yeshivot (religious learning centers) in Israel, told a gathering at a Lev L’Achim event in Bnei Brak earlier this week that, speaking in the name of Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky, the arrival of the Messiah is close. Malachi 3:1 Recently, Rabbi Kanievsky related a teaching in the Talmud, a central rabbinical text in Judaism, that explicitly states that the Messiah will come the year following a shmittah year; this year is ripe for the arrival of the Messiah upon the conclusion of the shmittah year one month ago(2). Rabbi Kanievsky said, "Tell the people we are in one of the most critical hours for the nation of Israel. We are on the threshold of the Messiah, the Messiah is standing just outside the door, the only way to be saved is through learning Torah, and through works of loving kindness.” [He got the salvation plan wrong ... salvation only comes through repentance of sin and turning our lives over to Yashua (Jesus Christ) ... only then are we able to do works that are pleasing to almighty God ...  that's what the scriptures say. (1)] The Rabbi was asked, ‘How will I let it be known? The Rabbi said, 'Take a loudspeaker and go around the whole country to tell this to the people. Yell it out loud.” (1) Old Testament Speaks of Yashua (Jesus): http://www.crosswalk.com/devotionals/discoverthebook/discover-the-book-aug-23-2010-11636726.html (2) Jubilee Shmittah: next year follows an interesting sequence of messianic advancements that are exactly 49 years apart. In the Hebrew year 5678, corresponding to November 2, 1917, the Balfour Declaration was issued by the British Empire, which was then sovereign over the Land of Israel. The famous words of the Balfour Declaration recognized the right of the exiled Jewish people to return to the Land of Israel and rebuild their national home. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/48150/pattern-jubilee-cycle-hints-period-worldwide-great-change-jewish-world/#FZivLdOSW7r2Au83.97 Excerpted original report here: https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/51210/spiritual-leader-rabbi-kanievsky-yell-it-from-loudspeakers-the-messiah-is-at-the-door-jewish-world/#GyQsUgVpt65UcM4V.97
