Is War With Iran Imminent? Khamenei Says It Is "Weeks" Away





On July 27, just before Friday prayers, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei summoned top Iranian military chiefs for what he called “their last war council.“We’ll be at war within weeks,” he told the gathering.
Meanwhile Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said Tuesday, July 31, that he hasn’t yet reached a decision on attacking Iran. He then went on to say, “The ayatollahs have inscribed Israel’s destruction on their banner” and stressed his personal commitment “not to permit Israel to come under Iranian atomic threat.”
U.S. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta said this week "I think the president has made clear that the United States stands with Israel and the international community in making very clear that we will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon,"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that we are heading to a showdown in the Middle East. More and more characters are entering the stage too. This past week saw the movement of a Chinese Navy vessel into the region. This move is unprecedented and indicates just how perilous the situation is growing. The fulfillment of the great Gog / Magog war is coming into focus. While the Iranian drama continues to intensify the Syria conflict is racing to what may soon be fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy concerning the destruction of Damascus.




Isaiah 17:1-3

King James Version (KJV)
17 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
The fortress also shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the remnant of Syria: they shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, saith the Lord of hosts.

It should be clear even to the most casual Bible reader that we are living in pivotal times. Big changes in the way we live and perhaps where we live are coming very soon. Do you  know Jesus as Savior? Have you come to the point in your life where you know for certain that if you were to die today you would go to Heaven? You can know for sure and this certainty can only come by trusting Christ. Watch the little video in the right sidebar. Let me know if you have trusted Jesus. I would like to rejoice together with you!

Chad Everett Dead At 75 But Leaves Behind A Testimony To God's Power

Actor Chad Everett died on Tuesday (July 24th) at the age of 75. He had been battling lung cancer over the past year-and-a-half. His acting career spanned nearly 36 years and will best be remembered for his role as Dr. Gannon in the hit tv series "Medical Center".
Mr. Everett was born, Raymon Lee Cramton, in South Bend, Indiana,  July 11, 1937 and died July 24, 2012. He grew up in a Methodist home and shared some of his life highs and lows in a People Magazine article. Here is a snippet of that interview.

When Medical Center expired, the actor's career went on life support, PEOPLE reported in 1994. The fact Everett owned 15 percent of the show provided a comfortable income, but as he said at the time, "Maybe I was a little too comfortable." Alcohol took over his life.

"Finally I said, 'I am really in trouble.' I stepped outside, and I looked up and I said, 'Father, you take it. I can't handle it anymore,' " he told PEOPLE. The next morning he called his two daughters, Katherine and Shannon, into his bedroom. "I am addicted to alcohol, and I am not going away to detox," he told them. "I am going to do it here so that you can see what happens to someone if you let a substance take control of you."

With the help of Alcoholics Anonymous and his strong religious faith, he continued to battle his problem. Even when he was in the depths of alcoholism, Everett told PEOPLE that his wife (since 1966) "never threatened to leave. She would tell me that she was there for me. If not for my family, I would have been in big trouble." 


 To his credit Mr. Everett married Shelby Grant in 1966 and remained married  until her death last year. Everett is also known for his co-hosting of the the Jerry Lewis Telethon and his conservative Republican values.
As I read about Chad Everett's passing I thought of all the famous personalities that have died recently and how they are not much older than I am. Time is marching on and we are all fading like the flowers and the grass.

Psalm 103
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;


Chad Everett faded though he aged better than most of us do! But we are all like the grass and the flowers. We have our season and then we decline and die. Chad Everett's passing is just another reminder to examine our lives from a spiritual perspective. Have you received the Lord's everlasting mercy through Jesus Christ? I hope you have, but if not, run to Him today. Our obituary will be in the paper soon enough.

Latest News On Planet X: Could Nibiru Fulfill The Third Trumpet Judgment?


At the bottom of this post I have included a youtube video by John R. Moore. John Moore is a retired military man - "Green Beret". He has a weekly internet radio show where he discusses his views on planet x, nibiru or whatever name you have assigned to the heavenly body that he believes is well on it's way to a very close encounter with Earth. He has at least 4 sources with close military ties that he views as trusted and possessing the "ring of truth". These sources are all telling him that they have been alerted to the soon arrival of this large heavenly body and that it could occur in the next 4 to 6 weeks.  I have been listening to John for the last couple of years and he is not a sensationalist, in fact, I have found him to be a little too dry at times but I have always felt that he seemed to be truthful and I also know that he is a believer in the Lord Jesus and a Bible believer and these are important attributes for anyone that I gather information from.
The notion that there could be a heavenly body that is nearing our planet has been posed by millions on the internet and even alluded to by NASA. I personally do not rule out such an event from happening because I believe the Bible. Here is a very interesting passage in the book of Revelation...

Revelation 8
And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
10 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters;
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

I believe in a very literal period of time (7 years) in the very near future in which conditions will be extremely bad for mankind. Jesus said that this period of time would be so bad that it would have no other time period to compare it to. This period is defined by judgments which are identified as seals, trumpets and vials. Each successive category of judgement becomes progressively worse. This star that falls from heaven is the third trumpet judgment. I have not ruled out the possibility that Planet x is the very star that will fulfill this prophecy. 
When you honestly look around and observe the multitude of disasters happening all around the world it is not inconceivable that such an event is near. All I ask is that you keep your eyes wide open and your mind from being closed to the possible events  that may occur in the very near future. If you have not placed your faith in Christ as Savior then this should be priority number one. God bless and enjoy the information in these videos.
