PART I - "Women In The Church" By Rev. Andy Zoppelt

GNWS, since you like Andy Zoppelt's writings and QUOTE what he has to say about the CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURES... I'm sure YOU should get a joy of enlightenment out of this article he has writtten: EXCERPTS FROM ARTICLE ... PART I - "Women In The Church" By Rev. Andy Zoppelt
Part 1: Head Covering - Introduction -There has been a rapid move away from the requirement to use head covering and the silencing of women in services because God Himself has taken the initiative in many third world nations. He is not asking for our permission, He is demonstrating His will in these matters if we are open to it. Many women in those nations are being sent out and are raising up new assemblies� what we call apostolic work.
More saints are finding they can do the research into the original language and background and are no longer bound to what previous biased translators wanted us to believe. The internet has become a vast source of information.
The head covering issue mentioned in 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 is a highly controversial and is a complex one in the body of Christ today as it was in the early believers at Corinth.
Old practices are hard to change and old wine skins are hard to throw away. The Head covering issue along with women being silent in the church and women not being permitted to teach are such teachings. These teachings have had an enormous impact on the function and liberty of Jesus� body. The silencing and stopping over half of the body would have a major effect on the ministry throughout the world. Those who believe in such teachings are of a very small minority, so the effect has been minimal. . In the institutional church, Satan has silenced both men and women for the sake of one man --- the pastor.
I have researched this issue off and on for the past 40 plus years; and more consistently in the past 10 years.
At one time I preached on the silencing of women and their role in teaching. Whenever we had a woman teach other women, we always had an elder present to oversee the teaching. When a friend I knew ordained a woman as an elder, I broke fellowship. I just trusted the translators of our scriptures. Later, I became suspicious when I heard of the women throughout the world healing the sick and raising up churches and teaching. I was already becoming more aware of the bias of the translators in using words like �church,� �baptism� and the creating of an ecclesiastical hierarchy in their translation. They knew: no building, no bishop; no king.
I have also struggled with the placing of something on a woman�s head to establish some unknown spiritual point for her and the angels? It seemed so unlike scriptures to do this, since scripture dealt more with the inner man rather than outward ritual. It was the religious who tended to focus on outward ritual.
Though the outward practices such as circumcision, the feasts and the sabbaths were discontinued under the new covenant, there were countless others who continued to try to persuade the body of Christ to practice them --- even to this day..
There are those today who are convinced that a woman wearing a veil on her head is a biblical mandate. If such was an apostolic mandate, why was such an apostolic tradition so silent in all the epistles, if in fact it was foundational in all the churches?
I am convinced that the groups who fall into this category are the most sincere. The seek purity in obedience to the scriptures. Their research into these scriptures becomes tainted and they keep reading into what they already believe. If the historical setting is revealed that points to these �suspect� scriptures, they ignore them. They ignore the translator�s bias and alternate readings.
Head covering, women silence in the assembly and keeping women out of ministry is for them a three stranded cord. Once they fall for one, they are forced to except the others.
Lately, with the advancement of computers, the internet and bible programs, we are all able to better understanding these suspect Greek words and there usage for ourselves. We are no longer bound to man�s interpretation and translations.
In all honesty, I have had to ask myself the question: �is the evidence compelling for a woman to have a head covering other than her God-given hair?� The answer was an overwhelming no!
We all understand the if we understood the question Paul was addressing, we would have a better understanding of Paul�s answer in 1 Corinthians 11, 14 and 1 Timothy 2. In these letters we have an answer without a question.

God's Word does not contradict itself. Women can certainly prophesy to other women and to men **OUTSIDE** of the church but God's Word absolutely forbids a woman from teaching men in the church! There are some who believe that a women can teach boys under 12 in Sunday School since according to Jewish custom a boy does not become a man until he is 12 years old.

Hi bronzetulip, welocme... thank you for your comments and article writings... there is nothing more to express after reading your posts ... you have pinned the pointer at the truth, and all I can say is that God's business is HIS BUSINESS, and because HE IS SOVEREIGN, He knows very well how to handle His business without anyone's help, nor does He need to ask anyone what He should or shouldn't do.
GOD'S PERSONHOOD NEVER CHNAGES... but as we READ with understand and receive revelation from the Holy Spirit, we do find throughout the word that GOD DOES repent (change His MIND) in regret about some things, and changes course (directions) in many especially when there is disobedience God will ALLOW another to take another's place outside the order that He first established. And before GOD allows the rocks to cry out, He will place women in positions that He FIRST had ordained for men... as He first gave the gospel to the Jews, BUT because of rejection and disobedience He sent the gospel to the Gentiles to stir up jealous in the Jews so that they might TURN back to Him... as is the case with so many women being ordained by GOD to carry His gospel word... if GOD has to use a donkey to preach this gospel He will do it! Man, in his folly and foolishness has forsaken his called position God placed him in... God never ordained the woman to be the head of a household, but as we know many, too many household are ran by women because man /husband left or lost his position out of disobedience in their sins and the woman is now the head of many households... doing fine thank you very much... Does anyone really think God will allow the household to fall apart just because there is no man to head it or help raise the children the also place there as the father, but many refuse to even visit or pay child support? Ha! what a demonic joke... women are doing darn great jobs running the households WITHOUT MEN and the man who should be the heads, they are nowhere to be found, and still lying about the 'WOMAN WON'T LET ME BE THE HEAD"... Baby, you're either the head or the tail, nobody can LET a person be nothing no more than what the person is capable of doing or being. Same principle with the church as is with the home, Paul points out in the qualifications. If you can't run your OWN household how in the world can a man run GOD"S HOUSEHOLD?
Why just this past week there have been over 7 men who SAID, they were called into ministry who pastored churches for over 20 and 30 years ... put out of the pulpits because of inappropriate adulterous sexual misconduct and behavior and had gotten away with it for years misleading the flock of God and praying a lie... God is not going to continue to allow His name or His word be destroy and dishonored or blasphemed by no one. I Corinthians chapters 5-7 says much
I do my best to try not use or wrongly quote Scriptures inappropriately, as some tend to do, quoting Scriptures speaking as if they are an ORACLE OF GOD... what a blasphemous joke and LIE OF THE DEVIL ... lol ...
God is fulfilling His WORD OF PROMISE regardless of who don't like it ... there is NO PROHIBITION ON WHO CARRIES THE WORD OF GOD PREACHING JESUS! NEVER WAS, AND NEVER WILL BE UNTIL THIS GOSPEL HAS BEEN PREACHED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD... Now THAT'S BIBLE.... AND THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD, AMEN! AND AMEN!

@ Bronzetulip: "I'm so glad Jesus came and then when He rose he revealed himself to women first. Then after he left us with the Holy Spirit and then the Bible women and the prostitute Rahab was written in the geneologjy of Jesus Christ. Christ knew that women would be oppressed and our heavenly Father knew this too. "
And I say AMEN AND AMEN!!!! This is also why God gave the word to Joel that , in the last days HE ... NOT MAN... BUT HE/GOD will pour out HIS HOLY SPIRIT ON HIS ... not man's handmaidens ... BUT ON HIS HAND MAIDENS TO PROPHESY HIS GOSPEL ALL OVER THE LAND. Praise the LORD... man ain't in control of nothing!...NO NOT ONE THING that GOD orders/decrees to be done on earth or in heaven...hellelujerrr!

Ella, so glad to see that you finally believe that all of Paul's wrings like Philippians are the inspired **WORDS OF GOD**!! Even though Paul believed he was the chief of all sinners it did not stop him from pointing out Satanic beliefs.
I Thessalonians 2:13: We thank God continually because, when you received the **WORD OF GOD**, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the **WORD OF GOD**, which is at work in **YOU WHO BELIEVE**!!
I Corinthians 9:21: Paul said, "I am not free from God's law but am under **CHRIST'S LAW**!!"
Acts 22:14,15: Ananias said to Paul, "The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know **HIS WILL** and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from His mouth!! You will be **HIS WITNESS** to all people of what you have seen and heard!
Acts 20:27: Paul said, "For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the **WHOLE WILL OF GOD**!
God chose Paul to write 14 of the 27 books in the NT of **CHRIST'S LAW**! And God chose Paul to give the rules for teaching and preaching in the church by Elders, Overseers, Pastors and Teachers in I Timothy, 2 Timothy, Titus, I Corinthians 14 and Ephesians 4:11-24 and other places.
Some of these inspired writings include:
** WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY ABOUT THE PREACHING AND TEACHING OF MEN AND WOMEN IN THE CHURCH**??
Titus 1:6-9: An **ELDER** must be blameless, faithful to **HIS** wife, a **MAN** whose children believe... Since an **OVERSEER** manages God's household, **HE** must be blameless... **HE** must **HOLD FIRMLY** to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that **HE** can encourage others by **SOUND DOCTRINE and **REFUTE THOSE** WHO OPPOSE IT**.
I Timothy 5:17: The **ELDERS** who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of a double honor, especially those whose work is **PREACHING ** and **TEACHING**!
I Timothy 3:1 Whoever desires to be an **OVERSEER** desires a noble task. Now the **OVERSEER**is to be above reproach, faithful to **HIS** wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable and **ABLE TO TEACH**!!
I Timothy 2:11: A **WOMAN** should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a **WOMEN** **TO TEACH** or to assume authority **OVER A MAN**!
I Corinthians 15:34,35:**WOMEN** should remain silent in the churches, They are not allowed **TO SPEAK**, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about anything, they should ask their husbands at home; for it is **DISGRACEFUL** for a **WOMAN** **TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH**!!
2 Peter 3:15,16: Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our **DEAR BROTHER PAUL** also wrote you with the **WISDOM GOD GAVE TO HIM**. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand {To unbelievers} which **IGNORANT AND UNSTABLE PEOPLE DISTORT**, as they do other Scriptures, to their own **DESTRUCTION**!
I Timothy 3:16,17: All Scripture is **GOD-BREATHED** and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead and in view of His appearing and His Kingdom, I give you this charge: **PREACH THE WORD**; be prepared in season in out of season, correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction. For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear!!
I Peter 1:23-25: For you have been **BORN AGAIN**, not of perishable seed but the imperishable, through the living and enduring **WORD OF GOD**. For all people are like grass, and all their glory is like flowers in the field; the grass withers and the flowers fail, but the **WORD OF THE LORD ENDURES FOREVER**!!

@ Richard, you quote many Scripture and lack spiritual understanding as to how to connect the dots of Scriptures and their meaning and interpretations. Forever learning but never coming into a full spiritual understanding of what it is you're learning...
You quote I Corinthians 9:21: Paul said, "I am not free from God's law but am under **CHRIST'S LAW**!!"
So, I therefore, ask you.. Just WHAT IS CHRIST'S LAW the Apostle Paul speaks about??

Richard, find then, copy and paste your answer to my question: What exactly is the law of Christ, and how is it fulfilled?... because I can't find anywhere in MY BIBLE where Christ's law is specifically defined and/or what precisely is the law of Christ... outside of Christ's greatest commandments, and nowhere does Christ prohibits women from carrying the gospel of Jesus. OR have you forgotten and put aside Evangelist Mary Magdalene... who was the FIRST (A WOMAN) TO BE GIVEN THE FIRST WORDS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BEFORE HE EVEN ASCENDED INTO THE HEAVEN. EVANGELIST MARY MAGDALENE AND THE OTHER WOMEN WITH HER WERE TOLD BY THE RISEN SAVIOR TO GO (SENT-FORTH) TO GIVE THE GOSPEL MESSAGE TO HIS DISCIPLE., SAYING, "YOU GO, TELL MY DISCIPLES TO MEET ME IN GALILEE!" And the word tells us that she also spread the good news of Jesus to everyone who would listen to her throughout the city.
I refuse to get into foolishness about what God does, I suppose it is as Paul says, "he who is ignorant, let him be ignorant of the truth."

Ridiculous quote by Ella:

And the word tells us that she also spread the good news of Jesus to everyone who would listen to her throughout the city.
Actually Ella Jesus only spoke to Mary Magdalene just after His resurrection in Matthew 28:9,10 and John 20:15-18:
Matthew 26:1,9,10: Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb... Suddenly Jesus met them, "Greetings," He said. They came to Him clasped His feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go tell My brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see Me."
John 20:1,15-18: Mary Magdalene went to the tomb... She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize it was Jesus. Jesus asked her, "Woman why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for? Thinking it was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him." Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward Him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" which means "Teacher." Jesus said, "Do not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to My brothers and tell them, "I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God." Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news, "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that He had said these things to her.
Tis is the very **LAST TIME** Mary Magdalene is mentioned in the New Testament. Jesus only told her to tell His disciples that she saw Jesus and that He was ascending to the Father and to go to Galilee where they would meet Jesus.
Jesus did not tell Mary Magdalene to preach the Gospel message as Ella claims. And Jesus certainly didn't tell Mary Magdalene to preach the Gospel in churches which would contradict the inspired Words of God.
Christ's Law is **ALL THE COMMANDS** of the New Covenant as recorded in the New Testament.
I Thessalonians 2:13: We thank God continually because, when you received the **WORD OF GOD**, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the **WORD OF GOD**, which is at work in **YOU WHO BELIEVE**!!
I Corinthians 9:21: Paul said, "I am not free from God's law but am under **CHRIST'S LAW**!!"
John 16:12-14: Jesus says, "I have much more to say to you, more then you can now bear. But when the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own, he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify Me because it is from Me that he will receive what he will make known to you!!"
Matthew 28:18-20: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to **ME**! Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.... teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU**!"
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony **FOR THE CHURCHES**!... I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone **ADDS** anything to them, God will add to them the plagues described in this book. And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** from this book of prophecy, God will take away from them any share in the Tree of Life and in the Holy City, which are described in this book!!"
Acts 22:14,15: Ananias said to Paul, "The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know **HIS WILL** and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from His mouth!! You will be **HIS WITNESS** to all people of what you have seen and heard!

Richard, You do WELL to know... EVEN SATAN QUOTES SCRIPTURE FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT AND TWISTED SCRIPTURE AGAINST JESUS... AS I'VE SAID, YOU CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN WHAT YOU QUOTE IN SCRIPTURES... "But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! FOR SATAN HIMSELF transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.... I'm obviously not trying to please you or to be popular with men, but my supreme passion is to please God. For if all I attempt to do is to please people, I would not be the true servant of Jesus Christ."
Therefore Richard, It matters not what you post, you STILL CAN'T CHANGE MY POSITION CALLED IN CHRIST, NOR DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY CALL IN CHRIST... so stop wasting your time, you are powerless, have no authority and LOOK FOOLISH REPEATING YOURSELF WITH YOUR SCRIPTURES!
In conclusion, I MUST be on the right path just as the apostles, because my called position as an EVANGELIST has STIRRED YOU up out of jealousy and turned your world upside down!

**INTERESTING **70 YEAR** TIME PERIODS IN BIBLE PROPHECY**!!
It is interesting to note that the Kings of Israel ruled 490 Years or **70 YEARS** times **7** years, which was immediately followed by a **70 YEAR** exile of the Jews, which was then immediately followed by the amazing prophesy of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years Prophecy in Daniel 9:24-27; which will end with the 2nd coming of Jesus and **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**!! Also in the prophecy of the **70 YEARS** times **7** years it states in Daniel 7:26 "The people of the {Roman} ruler who will come will destroy the city {Jerusalem} and the Sanctuary." This prophecy was fulfilled and the Jews exiled again in AD **70** until the rebirth of Israel at 2 minutes after midnight, May 14th, 1948!! The **70 YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel will take place at 2 minutes after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**!!
Daniel 9:24-27: Seventy "sevens" {**70 YEARS** times 7 or 490 years} are decreed for your people and your holy city to **ANOINT THE MOST HOLY** {After 483 Years}, to **ATONE FOR WICKEDNESS** {After 486 1/2 years} and to bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** {On the Last Day of the Last 1260-day Tribulation or 490 total years}...From the issuing of the decree {By King Cyrus--See Isaiah 44:28} until the Anointed One comes {On October 5th AD 29}, there will be 62 7's and 7 7's {Or 69 7's or 483 years}... Then {3 1/2 years or 1278 days later} the Anointed One will be cut off...He will confirm a Covenant with many for one 7 {Or the Last 7 years}. In the middle of the 'seven' {After 3 1/2 years} He {The Anointed One} will put an **END TO SACRIFICES** and offering.{On April 3-5 AD 33} {And then after a long pause} He will set up an abomination that causes desolation {666} for 1260 days, until the decreed end is poured out on him at the 2nd Coming of Jesus {As per Rev 19:19,20 and 2 Thess 2:8} Which will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS** on the Last Day of the **70 YEARS** times 7 Prophecy!
Luke 3:21,22: When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as He was praying, heaven was opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Him {ANOINTING} in bodily form like a dove. And a Voice came from heaven, "You are My Son, whom I love, with You I am well pleased!" This Anointing and Coming of the Anointed One took place after 69 7's or 483 years and then the Anointed One **ATONED FOR WICKEDNESS** And put an end to all **SACRIFICES FOR SIN** 3 1/2 years later after 69 1/2 7's or 486 1/2 years! And then after the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation the 2nd Coming of the Anointed One will bring in **EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS**!!
Matthew 18::21,22: Peter asked Jesus, "How many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not **7** times, but **70** times **7 times**!" {See NIV footnote}
Jesus is called the Son of David 17 times and David lived exactly **70 YEARS** as per 2 Samuel 5:4.
Acts 1:6,7: The disciples asked Jesus, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" Jesus said , "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority."
Luke 21:5,6,23,24: Some of His disciples were remarking about how the Temple was adorned with beautiful stones and with gifts dedicated to God. But Jesus said, "As for what you see here, the time will come {In AD **70**} when not one stone will be left on another, every one of them will be thrown down!... There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations {In AD **70**}. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are **FULFILLED**!" The Gentiles trampled on all Jerusalem for 1878 years from AD 70 to AD 1948! The Jews controlled West Jerusalem on May 14th, 1948 and East Jerusalem on June 7th, 1967.
Isaiah 66:1,8: This is what the Lord says.... "Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country {Israel} be born ***IN A DAY*** or a nation be brought forth in a **MOMENT**?"
The rebirth of the nation of Israel by a UN decree took place in a **MOMENT** in **ONE DAY** at 2 minutes after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 1948**!! It is interesting to note that **70 YEARS** After 2 minutes after midnight, **MAY 14TH, 1948 will be 2 minutes after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**!!
**INTERESTING SPECULATIVE QUESTION**??
Will something interesting happen related to the **70 YEARS** times **7** Prophecy; take place exactly **70 YEARS** after the rebirth of Israel at 2 minutes after midnight on **MAY 14TH, 2018**?? Such as the beginning of the Last half of the **70 YEARS** times **7**.{The 1260-day Great Tribulation} or the coming of God's two Israeli witnesses {Moses and Elijah} for their 1260-day testimony; or the signs that will take place shortly before the Great Tribulation??? This, of course, is just a very interesting **SPECULATION**!
**IS ISRAEL LIKE A **FIG TREE** IN GOD'S WORD**??
Jeremiah 8:13: "I will take away their {Israel's} harvest", declares the Lord, "There will be no more **FIGS** on the tree. and their **LEAVES** will wither. What I have given them will be taken from them."
Joel 1:11,12: The harvest of the field is destroyed. The vine is dried up and the **FIG TREE** is withered. {From AD 70 until May 14th, 1948 at the rebirth of Israel}
Hosea 9:10: The Lord said, "When I found **ISRAEL** it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on a **FIG TREE**!"
Nahum 3:12: The Lord said to Israel, "All your fortresses are like **FIG TREES** with their first ripe fruit!"
**JESUS SAYS, "THIS **GENERATION** WILL CERTAINLY NOT PASS AWAY UNTIL ALL THESE THINGS HAVE HAPPENED**
Psalm 90:1,10: "Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**... the length of our days is **70 YEARS** or eighty if we have the strength!"
Matthew 24:32-34: Jesus says, "Now learn this lesson from the **FIG TREE**{ISRAEL}. As soon as its twigs get tender and its **LEAVES COME OUT** {Starting at May 14th,1948}, you know that summer {The Great Tribulation} is near {When the **FIG TREE ISRAEL WILL BEAR FRUIT!}. Even so, when you see these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, **THIS GENERATION** will certainly not pass away until **ALL THESE THINGS** have happened!" {This **FUTURE GENERATION** may begin **70 Years** after the rebirth of Israel and will include **ALL THESE THINGS** in the Olivet prophecies found in Matthew 24,25, Mark 13 and Luke 21!}
Psalm 90:10: "Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout **ALL GENERATIONS**...The length of our days is **70 YEARS** or eighty if we have the strength!"
**THE GENERATION OF THE NEW BIRTH OF ISRAEL BEGAN ON MAY 14TH, 1948 AND THE **70TH** GENERATION ANNIVERSARY WILL BE ON MAY 14TH, 2018!!
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** is the Jewish re-occupation of all of **JERUSALEM** which occurred on June 7, 1967 during the miraculous Six Day War. Midnight, **MAY 14TH, 2018** is **49 {**7X7**} YEARS** plus **707 DAYS** {**70+7**} after June 7th, 1967!!
Zechariah 8:4,5,7: This is what the Lord almighty says, "Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of **JERUSALEM**, each with cane in hand because of his age. The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there!... I will save My people from the countries of the east and the west. I will bring them back to live in **JERUSALEM**!"
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPECY** is the one whose fulfillment we are witnessing today � the re-focusing of world politics upon the nation of Israel. All the nations of the world are coming against Israel over the issue of the control of the nation�s capital � the city of **JERUSALEM**{Zechariah 12:1-3}. The Vatican wants the city put under its control. The United Nations wants it to be internationalized. The European Union is demanding it be divided between the Arabs and the Jews. The Arabs want all of it. Donald Trump promises that he will make **JERUSALEM** the capital of Israel and all the Muslim nations are threatening war if this takes place, and this war could escalate into a **WORLD WAR AND WORLD CHAOS**!!
The seven countries that sided on December 21st, 2017 with the United States and Israel on a U.N. General Assembly resolution declaring "*NULL AND VOID*" President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital are all small and obscure as world players despite Trump's threats.
Here's the list:
1. Guatemala Population 8 million
2. Honduras Population 9 million
3. Marshall Islands
4. Micronesia
5. Nauru
6. Palau
7. Togo
If you haven't heard of most of these nations, it's because they are tiny islands in the Pacific.
Four of the countries � Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau � have combined populations less than Boise, Idaho. Nauru, for example, has a population of 10,000.
Put another way, the combined land mass of all seven countries puts it between that of Illinois and Florida.
So countries with a total population of almost 18 million voted with United States and Israel and countries with a total population of about Six Billion 500 million abstained or voted against the United States and Israel which is about 361 to 1 against if you divide 6 billion 500 million by 18 million!
And so the declation by Trump about putting the US Embassy in Jerusalem Has caused hundreds of Muslim demonstrations and almost complete condemnation by the entire world's powerful nations and may lead to the spark that ignites a **WORLD WAR** and **WORLD CHAOS ** just before the beginning of the Great Tribulation!!
The resolution by the Arab League also said Trump�s Jerusalem decision �Undermines efforts to bring about peace, deepens tension and will spark anger that will threaten to push the region to the edge of the **ABYSS OF VIOLENCE, CHAOS AND BLOODSHED**�
Israel and the USA **WITHDREW** their Ambassadors to UNESCO which has 2 more members than the UN incuding Palestine!! And the USA reduced their contribution to the UN by 285 milliom dollars!!
Zechariah 12:1-3 The Lord declares, "I AM GOING TO MAKE **JERUSALEM** A CUP THAT SENDS ALL THE SURROUNDING NATIONS REELING*. Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem, on that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her!!" {And this prophecy is now being **FULFILLED**!!}
**ANOTHER INTERESTING PROPHECY** which is now being **FULFILLED** is found in Jeremiah 29:18: This is what the Lord Almighty says {About Jews} "I WILL MAKE THEM ABHORRENT TO ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE EARTH AND AN OBJECT OF CURSING AND TERROR, OF SCORN AND REPROACH AMONG THE NATIONS!"
On December 23, 2016, the **UNITED NATIONS** of the world severely condemned Israel for its settlements! December 23rd, 2016 is exactly 507 days before the **70TH YEAR** Anniversary of the rebirth of Israel on **MAY 14TH, 2018**. 72 weeks or 72X7 days would take up 504 days leaving 3 days or 72 hours or **66+6 hours**. And so the time period from December 23rd, 2016 to **MAY 14TH, 2018** and the possible coming of **666** would be exactly **66+6** weeks plus **66+6** hours.
On December 23rd, 2016 Barak Hussein Obama abandoned America's commitment to Israel's security and the end of their democracy against Muslim aggression. In an act of cowardly venom Obama had the United States abstain from a United Nations resolution--and thereby effectively enact a United Nations resolution that completely condemns Israel and their settlements. A resolution that undertakes to render Israel indefensible.
This very ridiculous unfair resolution greatly increases the tension and chaos in the Middle East and gives the Muslim countries an excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
On January 24th, 2017 Israel announced that it was going to build 2,500 New Settlements on Palestinian territory which absolutely contradicts the UN resolution and would further escalate the tensions in the Middle East; and gives the Muslim countries yet another excuse to increase their hostility toward Israel.
According to the United Nations human rights body, Israel is the worst human rights violater in the world today. That is the result of the latest session of the Human Rights Council which wrapped up in Geneva on March 24th, 2017 by adopting 5 times more resolutions condemning Israel than any other country on earth!! In its history the Council has condemned Israel more than any other of the 192 UN countries. Comparative totals after the UN sessions program tell the story: :Israel--78 condemning resolutions and decisions Syria--29; North Korea--9; ISIS--8 and Iran--6. As for Russia and China there is nothing at all {**ZERO**??}. Think of it this way: 500,000 dead in Syria, forced starvation and mass torture in North Korea. Systematic, lethal oppression, amazing atrocities, and sponsored terrorism in Iran and ISIS, and an elementary lack of basic freedoms and oppression affecting over a billion people in Russia and China. But according to the UN Human Rights Council, the little democracy Israel is by far the main evil problem in the world???
**COULD DONALD TRUMP BE THE MOST POERFDUL WORLD LEADER THAT CAUSES **WORLD CHAOS** BEFORE THE GREAT TRIBULATION BEGINS POSSIBLY ON THE **70TH ANNIVERSARY** ON THE REBIRTH OF ISRAEL AT 2 MINUTES AFTER MIDNIGHT ON MAY 14th, 2018**??**??
As you know **70 7's** and **666** are very prominent numbers in Bible prophecy. Someone just pointed out to me that Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946 at 10:54 AM which I checked out. Donald Trump became the most powerful world leader when he was inaugurated at Noon on January 20th, 2017. And so Donald Trump was exactly **70 YEARS** plus **7 MONTHS** plus **6** days plus **66** minutes old {Or **6+66**} when he became the most powerful leader in the world! Donald Trump's swearing in inauguration began at noon on January 20th, 2017 and ended at 2 minutes after noon on January 20th, 2017!
By declaring the the USA will now have their embassy in Jerusalem on the 70th Anniversary of Israel on May 14th, 2018, Trump has laid the groundwork for **WORLD WAR** and all 21 Muslim countries declaring war on Israel before May 14th, 2018!! Trump has also started a **TRADE WAR** with all the major nations of trhe world which will continually cause more **WORLD CHAOS**!!The bombing of Syria by Trump will no doubt result in a similar respose by Russia and this could possibly bring more **WORLD CHAOS** and the possibility of a **WORLD WAR**!!
Iran has flown in 80,000 Iranian troops to Syria near Israel's border. Israel has responded by bombing the Iranian troops 2 times in the last 2 weeks and Iran has promised to **RETALIATE**!!
Trump has promised to eliminate their atomic treaty with Iran on May 12th, 2018 and Iran has promised to **RETALIATE**!!
If Israel and Iran go to war Russia and China will side with Iran which will cause the USA to join the war with Israel causing extreme world-wide world War and extreme world-wide **CHAOS** thus setting the stage for the beginning of the Great Tribulation and the coming of 666 from the Abyss or Hell. Many believe that the extremely evil Pope Francis fully qualifies to be the future False Prophet of 666!!
And so the **WORLD CHAOS** and **WORLD WAR** just before the Great Tribulation may be **EXTREMELY CLOSE**
