*** Click on each puzzle piece above to get to the scripture ***
We were foretold of current events taking place by Jesus himself as well as God’s inspiration given to each writer via the Bible. All the things going on that we see in the news were foretold to us so that we can know the times. So that we can know God is true and his word is sure and that he is coming back soon. We are living so close to the rapture, the start of Tribulation and Jesus’ second physical return to this Earth. You don’t want to put off turning to Jesus much longer if you have been. One of these near days the clock will strike one minute too late and you will be stuck having to work out your salvation with fear and trembling in the Tribulation. Repent and turn to Jesus now so that you can be raptured and won’t have to do that! Please heed the warnings of all those who are trying to alert you! For those saved already, don’t forget to share this or click each link provided and share the work done by these watchmen and pastors from their sites. We are living and working on borrowed time. Scripture tells us that TODAY is the day for salvation! We are closer now than we have been. When you see all these things LOOK UP for our redemption is near! Maranatha!

Four little words that get the attention of any end times prophecy watcher: “Israel”, “Many”, “Peace” and “Security” (or safety). {1 Thessalonians 5:3-4. Daniel 9:27}
“WORDS THAT ARE GETTING MY ATTENTION” by Daymond Duck, as posted at Rapture Ready
My mind is often preoccupied and I sometimes struggle to focus on what people are saying. But there are four words that people can say that are guaranteed to grab my attention: Israel, many, peace and safety.
“Israel” is the key to understanding Bible prophecy so I am always eager to hear anything that someone has to say about Israel (Matt. 24:32).
“Many” is a qualifying word that refers to an unspecified large number. For example, the angel Gabriel told Daniel, “he (the Antichrist) shall confirm the covenant (peace treaty) with many (an unspecified large number of signers; Dan. 9:27) for one week (a week of years which means seven years).
“Many” signing a seven-year peace treaty grabs my attention because I believe the Rapture will have taken place and the Church will be in heaven when the Antichrist puts his worthless signature on that satanic document that many others will have already signed.
“Peace” draws me in because if someone says something about peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), I am anxious to know what they are saying.
“Safety” engages my attention because Paul said, “For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them (those that are left behind after the Rapture), as travail upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape (1 Thess. 5:3).
So when people use the words Israel, many, peace and safety-they automatically have my undivided attention.
Having said this, these attention-getting words have recently been in the news several times.
For example, on May 2, 2017, Vice President Mike Pence was talking about an agreement to resolve the conflict between Israel and the PA when he said, “The new administration has found a way to pursue peace whilst simultaneously devoting itself to securing (making safe) the Jewish state.”
He added, “We’re making valuable progress toward the noble goal of peace.”
For whatever it is worth, I believe Israel is already safe under the protection of God and there will be wars and rumors of wars before there is true peace.
Then, on May 3, 2017, at a meeting in the White House, President Trump told PA President Mahmoud Abbas “We want to create peace between Israel and the Palestinians. We will get it done. We will be working so hard to get it done. It’s been a long time, but we will be working diligently – and I think there’s a very, very good chance. And I think you feel the same way.”
After the meeting, the two leaders held a press briefing. President Trump said, “You signed your name to the first Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. You remember that well, right? And I want to support you in being the Palestinian leader who signs his name to the final and most important peace agreement that brings safety, stability, and prosperity to both peoples and to the region.”
It is beginning to sound like a final and very important peace agreement that brings safety to Israel, the PA and the region (a covenant with many).
But there is more. President Trump announced plans to visit Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Vatican. He said, “Our task is not to dictate to others how to live, but to build a coalition of friends and partners who share the goal of fighting terrorism and bringing safety, opportunity and stability to the war-ravaged Middle East. Tolerance is the cornerstone of peace.”
He didn’t say it the way the Holy Spirit inspired it in 1 Thess. 5:3, but he was talking about Israel, peace, safety and the Middle East (many).
We don’t know the day and the hour, but the words that some leaders are using are getting my attention.
“THE BURDEN OF DAMASCUS” — the approaching fulfillment of Isaiah 17
“US, UK, JORDANIAN FORCES ENTER SOUTHERN SYRIA.”
US special forces, together with British and Jordanian elite troops, moved into southern Syria late Sunday, May 14. They were acting to counter the Syrian-Iranian scheme to nullify the American plan for posting Jordanian forces in southeastern Syria, which timed for the days before US President Donald Trump’s trip to the Middle East.
The US-led armored force with British and Jordanian units crossed from northern Jordan through the Tanf Border-Crossing between the Hashemite Kingdom, Iraq and Syria, and took up positions capable of consolidating their control of the main road between Palmyra and Baghdad. Some of their moves were coordinated with Israel.
This push aimed at countering the drive in the last few days by hundreds of Syrian troops, Iranian-backed Shiite militias and Hezbollah’s Radwan special forces, with tanks and heavy equipment, to take over the town of Sabaa Biyar. Located in sparsely desert territory, this town lies 110km west of the Syrian-Iraqi border, 95km north of the Syrian-Jordanian border and 128km east of Damascus.
Its high strategic importance for Tehran, Damascus and Hezbollah lies in its command of the border between Syria, Iraq and Jordan and of Highway No. 1 which links the Jordanian capital of Amman with Baghdad.
debkafile’s military sources explain that Damascus and Tehran acted to pre-empt the US-Jordanian-Israeli military operations along the Israeli and Jordanian borders with Syria, lest they lead to the carving out of US-controlled security zones in southern Syria.
Our military sources add that Moscow too eyes the new US-led military movements with mistrust, in view of its potential impact on the Russian plan for four ceasefire zones in Syria, in cooperation with Iranian and Turkish forces. The Russians are accordingly feeding Tehran and Damascus intelligence on the US-led movements.
On Sunday, too, the Israeli Defense Forces launched a large-scale military exercise in the Galilee and Golan regions close to its borders with Syria and Lebanon. The war game may well run over its final date in order to keep a substantial military force poised on along Israel’s northern borders, in case of attempts to disrupt the Trump visits to Saudi Arabia and Israel from May 22 to May 24.
Other military movements in the region this week were taken by the Iraqi army and Iraqi Shiite militias under the command of Iranian Revolutionary Guards officers. Iran continued to pour additional troops into Damascus through the Baghdad-Damascus highway, on the one hand, while, on the other, Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi offered Washington two of his army’s divisions, which would be sent into Syria to support US military operations in the southeast.
For the time being, the Trump administration’s plans for an offensive against the Islamic State appear to have been put on a back burner.
“NETANYAHU TO TILLERSON: MOVING U.S. EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM WILL “SHATTER PALESTINIAN FANTASY”
Moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem would help peace efforts by “shattering the Palestinian fantasy that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement on Sunday.
His remarks followed those made earlier in the day by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, in which he said the White House was reviewing whether relocating the embassy to Jerusalem would help or harm the peace process.
“Israel’s position has been stated many times to the U.S. government and to the world,” Netanyahu said. “Moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem will not only not harm the peace process, it will advance it by correcting a historical wrong and by shattering the Palestinian fantasy that Jerusalem is not the capital of Israel.”
On Thursday, Netanyahu reiterated his belief that all foreign embassies should relocate to Jerusalem, the “eternal capital of the Jewish people.”
Earlier on Sunday, Tillerson said it was not clear whether an embassy move would help or harm prospects for a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians.
“The president is being very careful to understand how such a decision would impact the peace process,” Tillerson said in an interview broadcast Sunday on NBC’s Meet the Press. He added that Trump would base his decision on the interests of all sides, but would also consider “whether Israel views it as helpful to a peace initiative or perhaps a distraction.”
However, last week the White House denied rumors that Trump had shelved plans for the embassy move. Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the “president has not made a decision yet and is still reviewing that.” THE REST AT HIGHLIGHTED LINK

An Hour You Think Not
By: Pete Garcia via Omega Letter
Then Jesus went out and departed from the temple, and His disciples came up to show Him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down.” Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Matthew 24:1-3
One of the most common rebukes used to discourage people from studying prophecy or the Rapture of the Church is a passage taken from Jesus in the Olivet Discourse. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus states but of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. On the surface, it appears that Jesus was trying to dissuade His disciples from trying figure out when exactly all these fantastical things He had just shared with them would occur. Yet, if Jesus was really trying to dissuade them from knowing, why explain in such great detail all the things He does concerning the original three questions they asked?
At the time of the Olivet Discourse, Jesus had not been arrested, tried, crucified, or resurrected so even the events surrounding even that very week was not fully clear to the disciples. At His arrest, the disciples scattered, Peter would go on to deny Christ three times, and they would watch in agony as their Messiah gets publically and humiliatingly nailed to a cross. Even after His resurrection and subsequent forty days amongst them, the disciples were still in confusion as to what was to happen next.
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” And He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:6-8

Scott does NOT dogmatically predict that September 23, 2017 is the rapture. Let us be clear. The date discussed is an alignment of the sun, moon and stars as given in Revelation 12:1-2. It is very interesting that the narrative of this sign is a birth and a rapture. The sign on this date is something the Creator put in His heavens. He mentioned it in relation to a rapture. Hence the discussion and study. Scott is NOT “rapture date setting” or crying wolf. We are talking about the alignment in relation to a careful study of the text. That is all.
It is up to you (the underground watchmen) to get this critical end-times information out. The popular bible teachers don’t seem to want touch this, even though they were all over the blood moons.
