I listened to a video recently entitled Iran’s Attack on Israel – Biblical Prophecy Being Fulfilled. The Bible study is from Tiff Shuttlesworth, who I believe is a great Bible teacher. I will often listen to his messages. Biblical prophecies are something that’s always interested me greatly. I believe that we are living in a time where we are seeing biblical prophecy fulfilled in front of our very eyes. It’s also a way for unbelievers to help to see that the Bible does bring that truth that sets you free! It’s very easy for many people to think that the Bible was written so long ago that it can’t be up to date. And yet we are regularly seeing Bible prophecy fulfilled.
I guess one of the biggest stories must have been when Israel became a nation in May 1948. It was something that biblical scholars had been waiting for for many years and it finally happened!
Introduction to Today’s Bible Study
Thank you for joining us today in our Bible study. We’re going to be doing a Prophecy Update in light of the magnanimous events that are going on in the world. You talk about living in perilous times—we most certainly are. Our subject today is going to answer the question: Does Iran’s attack on Israel fulfill Bible prophecy? I want to tell you right up front that Iran’s most recent attack upon Israel does indeed fulfill Bible prophecy. I want to take you into the scriptures today and help you with that because, as I speak, we are without question watching end-time prophecy unfold, and the final moments of human history as we know it are drawing to a Biblical end. The world that we are currently in is not going to continue in the same path and pattern. The Bible has much to say, and on that prophetic clock of final prophecy, I believe that we are currently living in what I might refer to as the two-minute warning. Often times at the end of a football game, they’ll have a signal to allow all of the players to know the last two minutes of the game are underway, and whatever you’re going to do for the sake of the scoreboard, you’d better get it done. I believe passionately and prophetically that that is where the church age currently is. We are in that final two-minute warning.
In our Prophecy update today, I want to bring your attention to three specific pieces of the end-time prophetic puzzle that I believe every serious student of the Bible should have at least a cursory understanding of. I’m going to provide you today with what I might refer to as a prophecy debriefing that highlights three nations and the significant role that they play both in the world now and in end-time prophecy.
Understanding the Prophecy Through Scripture
If you have your Bible, go with me into the Old Testament book of Zechariah, and the second chapter. Go down to verse 8, and I’m going to read down through verse 13. The Old Testament Prophet Zechariah said this about the nation of Israel in the last days: Zechariah 2:8 “After a period of glory, the Lord of Heaven’s Army sent me against the nations who plunder you, for he said, ‘Anyone who harms you harms my most precious possession.'” Pause right there. As a student of Bible prophecy, don’t ever forget what Zechariah helped us to see: Israel, Jerusalem, and the Jewish people are God’s most precious possession. Verse 9: “I will raise my fist to crush them, and their own slaves will plunder them. Then you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s armies has sent me. The Lord says shout and rejoice, O beautiful Jerusalem, for I am coming to live among you. Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they too will be my people. I will live among you, and you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s armies sent me to you. The land of Judah will be the Lord’s special possession in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem to be his own city. Be silent before the Lord, all humanity, for he is springing into action from his holy dwelling.”
As we always do, let’s begin with a moment of prayer. Heavenly Father, once again, we thank you not only for the Holy Bible but that contained in the pages of sacred scripture, almost one-third of its content is prophetic, and most of those prophecies have already come to pass, giving us a sure foundation to believe that the remaining prophecies of the last days and the end times are equally accurate. I pray for every listener, those that watch on a regular basis, and the thousands that each month join us for the first time. My prayer for them and for their family is that they might all live ready to meet the Lord. Anoint our minds to listen and to learn as we give this Prophecy Update. As we watch the volatility in the Holy Land, we are reminded of your promise by Zechariah that all who come against Israel, Jerusalem, and your chosen people, you will surely defend. Our prayer is that all of us might live ready for the soon coming of the Lord, and we ask these things in Jesus’ name, and all God’s people said, amen.
The Current Events and Biblical Context
I was speaking to a dear friend the other day, and I mentioned that never in my lifetime, and I have been in ministry for almost 50 years, and I have preached and taught on Bible prophecy and eschatology all of my ministry, I have never seen the tensions in the Middle East as hot as they currently are, and we are watching Bible prophecy unfold almost in real time.
The situation, the eyes of the world, are focused upon Israel, and many, not just Christians, not just believers, but many around the world, even from secular media, are asking the question, “Is it possible that we are on an accelerated path to World War III?” I saw an article from the Los Angeles Times; the headline said, “End time believers see prophecies fulfilled in Iran.” The Washington Post wrote, “Iran crosses old red lines and sets new equation with their attack upon Israel.” The Times, and if you’re not familiar with that paper, it is the United Kingdom’s largest publication, and The Times had a headline that said, “Why did Iran attack Israel and what will happen next?” In Israel, the Jerusalem Post had a headline that said, “What does Iran’s attack on Israel mean for the region?”
This most recent and open attack against Israel by Iran is a magnificent culmination that shows us what is often times referred to as a shadow war, but it is in the shadows no longer. It is an unprecedented attack between Israel and Iran. Now, it is directly connected to the barbaric attack that happened in Israel, carried out by Hamas. As I have taught you before, Hamas is a terrorist organization whose main sponsor is the nation of Iran, and it resulted in Benjamin Netanyahu declaring on October 7th of 2023, “Israel is at war.” This Iranian strike against Israel was no surprise because Israel had just carried out an attack that killed three senior Iranian military commanders in Damascus about two weeks ago as of the taping of this Prophecy Update, and Iran had immediately vowed that there would be retaliation and revenge. And on this past Friday, we had the United States intelligence reporting and all over the media that there was going to be an Iranian attack within 24 to 48 hours, and they were obviously accurate.
So I want to, in our Prophecy update today, I want to try to take all that you’ve been watching with Israel and with Iran and with all of the headlines and all of the heights and try to bring you into a fundamental understanding of three important pieces that I feel every serious student of Bible prophecy should know, and those three pieces of the prophetic puzzle are going to be number one, Israel; number two, Iran; and number three, Russia. These are three significant pieces of the end-time prophetic puzzle that you need to have at least a cursory understanding as to how these three nations fit into the final prophecy because the stage that is set before us and ongoing it’s a fluid situation as I speak, there are things that are going on that affect all of these pieces, but at least let me take a step back, take you into the Bible, and help you to understand the significant prophetic roles of Israel and Iran and Russia. Certainly, let’s continue and complete the transcription of the Bible study presentation.
Understanding Israel’s Prophetic Position
Number one, Israel. One Bible scholar wrote these words: “Keep your eyes on Zion, God’s holy land. As the Jews go, so goes the world. The Jews are God’s yardstick, God’s outline, God’s blueprint for what He is up to in the rest of the world.” As I have taught you before, and if you’re a new student to our channels, whether you’re listening to our YouTube channel or you’re listening to this on our podcast channel, or on our Facebook channel, or on X, however, you’re listening to our content, there are playlists available that go into much deeper detail than I’m going to go into today. My goal in this Prophecy Update, in light of Iran’s attack on Israel, which fulfills Bible prophecy, as you’re going to have the weight of scripture by the end of our time together today, and understand, I hope, more clearly than you did before, Israel is the most important land in all of Bible prophecy and the world. Israel is the geographic centre of the world, strategically located at the hub of three continents. In the Book of Ezekiel, in the Old Testament, in the fifth chapter, Ezekiel chapter 5, verse 5, here’s what the prophet Ezekiel said concerning Israel, “This is what the Sovereign Lord says: this is an illustration of what will happen to Jerusalem. I placed her at the centre of the nations.” The prophet Ezekiel prophesied that Israel and Jerusalem, indeed is the centre, not only of Bible prophecy but the centre of the world.
According to Bible prophecy, the land of Israel is the most important location upon the face of the Earth. Not only is Israel the most important land in Bible prophecy and the scriptures, Jerusalem is the most important city in Bible prophecy and the world. The Bible mentions Jerusalem more than any other city, over 800 times. Jerusalem is mentioned in the Holy Bible. In the Psalms, the 132nd Psalm, verses 13 and 14, the Bible said, “For the Lord has chosen Jerusalem; he has desired it for his home. This is my resting place forever,” he said, “I will live here, for this is the home I have desired.”
So, God Almighty, in his eternal covenant, has set aside Jerusalem not only as the capital of the Holy Land but as we study the fulfilment of all end-time prophecy, Jerusalem will eventually be exalted to not only the capital of Israel but we know that it will also be the capital of the entire world.
Israel is an important nation
The third thing about Israel that I have taught you a multitude of times is not only do we need to keep our eye on Israel, Israel is the most important nation in Bible prophecy and history, Jerusalem the most important city in Bible prophecy and history, and then thirdly, what is often times called the super sign of all Bible prophecy, and that super sign is when we see the visible and literal return of the Jews to their homeland. The regathering of the Jewish people to Israel is the most important prophecy in all of the Bible. I want to say that again, and if you’re taking notes, write it down: the regathering of the Jewish people is the single most important prophecy in the entirety of the Holy Bible.
In the Old Testament, the Prophet Jeremiah, often times called the weeping prophet, in Chapter 30 and verse 3 said, “For the time is coming when I will restore the fortunes of my people of Israel and Judah. I will bring them home to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and they will possess it again,” I the Lord have spoken. And many eschatology scholars all agree this is the single most important, often times referred to as the super sign of all Bible prophecy, and it has been fulfilled. As a matter of fact, by 2009, it was technically fulfilled. Why 2009? Because 2009 became the first year since AD 135 where there were more Jews located in Israel than any other place in the world. And to those who know end-time Bible prophecy, this historic regathering of the Jewish people to their homeland should be a ticking clock prophetically.
Israel Reborn As A Nation
When you see the regathering of the Jews to Israel, when you see Israel reborn as a nation, May 14th, 1948, Jerusalem recently established officially by allied nations around the world as Israel’s official capital, that took place on May 14th, 2018, and this regathering of Jews from around the world, then those who know Bible prophecy should be living on level four alert because it helps us to know that the next significant event on the calendar of God is the rapture of the church.
And so, in our three-piece puzzle update, helping you to understand this recent attack on Iran against Israel, number one, I wanted to give you a debriefing of the nation of Israel. Now, I have a large amount of
teaching on that. If you’ve not already subscribed to the YouTube channel, be sure to do that. We bring content to you every single week. And if you’re not already a student, we would want you to be a part of this ongoing class of understanding Bible prophecy and significant things in scripture. Be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so that you won’t miss any of our content.
But I want you to go back and listen to a Bible study entitled “Three Things About Israel Every Student of the Bible Should Know.” That brings us to the second nation, number two is Iran.
Iran Fulfils Bible Prophecy
Why do I believe this attack by Iran fulfils Bible prophecy? This second piece of our prophetic update puzzle today focuses on a nation that many often times refer to as the head of the snake, and they are very much identified in Bible prophecy. As you’ve heard me teach before, there are 15 specific nations that are mentioned in light of Bible prophecy and specifically end-time events. Iran was actually present and accounted for in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost as we read in Acts 2 and verse 9. They were referred to as the Parthians, the Medes, and the Elamites, but these people were actually Jews who lived in that Jerusalem area and ancient Persia. And by the way, when you read the scriptures, Persia in the Bible is modern-day Iran. Iran still has one of the largest Jewish populations outside of Israel in the Middle East region. Iran is specifically mentioned in a coming battle called Gog and Magog, and they will be a part of a coalition that will descend upon Israel out of the North.
And this recent attack in Iran versus Israel is the first attack in modern history. Now, Iran has been obviously involved in what is often times referred to as a shadow war for quite some time, but you and I have lived long enough to see a direct attack by Iran against Israel in modern history. Iran launched a five-hour barrage of drones and missiles. This all in response to the Israeli strike that had killed two Iranian generals in a diplomatic compound in Damascus, Syria, that occurred on April 1st, and in response, Iran launches this massive attack against Israel that consisted of 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles, and 30 cruise missiles just this past Saturday according to the Israeli Defense Forces.
God’s Promises
Now, what’s remarkable in prophecy is God promises that he will supernaturally protect Israel in these final wars of Bible prophecy. As I’m going to mention in the moments to come, I believe this is significant because it is the foreshadowing of what I believe will be the Gog and Magog War. But what is not highly reported is over 99% of that barrage, that attack, that missile raining down upon Israel, 99 plus percent of those never hit targets. Almost all of them were destroyed by an incredible Israeli defence system called the Iron Dome. They were also allied nations that worked together in that defence, and that included not only the United States and Britain but it included, get this, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates. There were actually Arabic nations who stood with Israel in this unprecedented attack carried out by Iran.
Now, I want you to make note of that because this is truly unprecedented. I have no recollection in my understanding of Jewish history and Israeli history of a time when there was an attack against Israel when Arab nations sided with Israel. Now, why do I point that out in this teaching today? Because I believe it is an absolute visual of the coming peace treaty that’s going to be drawn up by the Antichrist where Arab nations are going to negotiate peace for a seven-year trial period that we understand to be the Great Tribulation. We’ve never seen this before, but to see Arabic nations side with Israel when Iran attacks, an Arab nation is quite spectacular to note in the arena of Bible prophecy.
Very Few Injuries
Fortunately, there were no fatalities in Saturday’s attack. There was a seven-year-old girl that was reported to be seriously injured by shrapnel from one explosion that took place somewhat in a remote field. She just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, but as of this taping, that young lady I heard was on her way to recovery.
It should also be noted that the United States of America, through our recent administration, has given $6 billion—you heard me right, $6 billion—our current administration has given to Iran, and Iran is known to be and has been the sponsor of terrorism. Why in the world would the United States of America give $6 billion to a country that you know they’re going to use those resources for nebulous reasons? Not to mention that when we withdrew out of Afghanistan, some wonder if it’s purposeful that we left $94 billion of military supplies, equipment, tanks, planes, helicopters, multiple hundreds of thousands of weapons that were left in the hands of terrorists around that region. That is an incredibly bad move in Bible prophecy that does not bode well for the United States of America.
America Cannot Be Squeezed Into Final Bible Prophecy
As you have heard me teach, some of you for an excess of 40 years, I have always clearly pointed out that America cannot be squeezed into final Bible prophecy. There is not one single legitimate passage that gives us America in final Bible prophecy in any capacity. Now, are there people who try to identify America in the scriptures? Absolutely, always have been, probably always will be, but you cannot put America in final Bible prophecy without perverting hermeneutics and proper biblical interpretation. And as you have heard me say multiple times, America is suspiciously absent in the final prophecies of Holy Scripture.
I believe one of the problems that America is facing that could lead to this demise is the fact that current political leadership is not really siding with Israel, only as much as they have to, but at the same time, behind closed doors and even openly, we’re sending billions of dollars to Israel’s worst enemies, and it’s mind-boggling to me that this is going on in the United States of America in my lifetime because we understand prophetically those that bless Israel will be blessed and those that curse Israel will be cursed.
When we study the New Testament, men from Iran, as I’ve mentioned, are indirectly referred to as Parthians, Medes, and Elamites, so we have this remnant of Iran even woven throughout the New Testament. There are several biblical prophecies in the end times that mention Iran specifically, and if you’re taking notes, I want you to pay careful attention because I want to just quickly go down a list of references in Bible prophecy that directly and specifically include Iran. Iran will be one of the nations involved in the Battle of Gog and Magog. And by the way, that battle of Gog and Magog, I believe it seems with what is happening in recent weeks and months that the stage is being set for that. I have taught throughout my ministry that the timing of the Gog and Magog War, we can’t be dogmatic about that because the Bible is not dogmatic about that, but we do see enough in the study of Bible prophecy and eschatology that we can place the Gog and Magog War sometime either right before the Rapture or immediately after the Rapture, carrying into the first half of the tribulation period.
The Stage Is Being Set
I’ve heard even individuals that are notable scholars make statements in recent days that it seems that this is quite apparent for the first time in modern history that the stage is being set for the Battle of Gog and Magog, and Iran is a significant player in the Gog and Magog War according to Bible prophecy. There are prophecies that mention the drying up of the Euphrates River, and that is already happening. You can Google that and find it to be absolutely true that the fulfillment of the drying up of the Euphrates is going on as I speak, and the Euphrates River runs through the nation of Iran.
And then we have Iran in the Bible in connection with Babylon and Mystery Babylon. The second most mentioned city in all of the Bible—Jerusalem number one at over 800 times—but second to Jerusalem is the mention of Babylon, and I also believe that the weight of scripture absolutely rests upon the fact that Babylon is Babylon in Iran. There are many who want to make Babylon the United States of America or New York City or Wall Street. As I have warned you multiple times, always have a red flag when you hear anybody teaching Bible prophecy who tries to make the United States of America the centerpiece of Bible prophecy because America is suspiciously absent in Bible prophecy. Not one single legitimate reference to America anywhere in final Bible prophecy. What have I taught you? Israel is the most important nation in Bible prophecy and the world. Jerusalem is the most important city in Bible prophecy and the world. And the most significant event in Bible prophecy is the regathering of the Jews to the nation of Israel, which continues even as I speak.
Iran Will Be An Ally
Iran will also be an ally with Magog, which is modern-day Russia. The Bible also tells us in prophecy that Iran will be a part of this coalition army that comes out of the north and carries out a full-blown assault upon the tiny nation of Israel, and then the Bible tells us that Iran will be destroyed by God. The Bible tells us this: Iran will be destroyed by God, along with all of the members of this coalition army.
Let’s take a moment to go into the Old Testament, into the Book of Ezekiel, and the 39th chapter, and go down to verses 4-8. Ezekiel 39:4-8, the Bible said, “You and your army and your allies will all die on the mountains. I will feed you to the vultures and wild animals. You will fall in the open fields, for I have spoken,” says the Sovereign Lord. “And I will rain down fire on Magog—Russia—and on your allies, who live safely on the coasts. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” In this way, I will make known my holy name among the people of Israel. I will not let anyone bring shame on it. And the nations too will know that I am the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. “That day of judgment will come,” says the Sovereign Lord. “Everything will happen just as I have declared it.”
And so, in this Prophecy Update, in light of the attack of Iran against Israel, the first time that the shadow war has stepped out of the shadows and into modern history, the first time in my lifetime that Iran has carried out an aggressive, legitimate attack against Israel, the stage being set potentially for the Gog and Magog War, I am sharing with you three pieces of the puzzle that are very critical to your understanding of final events. And if we are this close to the tribulation, if we are this close to the Gog and Magog War, how much closer must we be to the Rapture of the church?
Prophesy Update Puzzle
And so, the first piece of this Prophecy Update puzzle: Israel. The second piece of this update puzzle Iran. And the third piece of this update puzzle is Russia. Pay careful attention to what Russia does in the days ahead. Now, for the sake of time, I can’t do this subject justice in a three-part teaching, but I have several videos that deal with this that I would encourage you to listen to when you have an opportunity. In our YouTube playlist, there’s actually an entire playlist that deals with the nations specifically in final Bible prophecy. So, let me encourage you to listen to one of our teachings on Russia. I believe the title of that is “What Role Does Russia Play in Final Prophecy?” And they’ll give you a link for that to connect when you have an opportunity. Let me give that to you as a homework assignment. There’s so much meat on the bone that you need to spend some time studying it.
2500 Years
I’m going to highlight some things as we end our Bible study today. Not once—don’t miss this—not one single time in the past 2500 years has Russia formed a military alliance with Persia or modern Iran. And again, in your notes, remember that in the Bible, Persia is modern-day Iran. But in recent weeks, Russia, for the first time in 2500 years, has made special connections with Iran. Now again, in Bible prophecy, the Battle of Gog and Magog, which I believe the stage in our world is being set for as we speak, Iran is a major ally with Russia. But they’ve not had any connection, any alliances, in over 2500 years. But in recent weeks, now they’re starting to have conversations, now they’re starting to come into certain agreements and political connections. This is significant. Russia recently signed a multibillion-dollar deal to sell missiles to Iran, and the Iranians have, in return, made agreements to help Russia, providing them with drones and weaponized drones. Iran has played a part in assisting Russia in the war in Ukraine. These things are significant in Bible prophecy because they show us something that we’ve not seen in over 2500 years. As Ezekiel prophesied in the 38th and 39th chapter of this coming war, Gog and Magog.
Now remember, there are two Gog and Magog wars in Bible prophecy. I’ve taught on this extensively, but if you’re a new student, the Second Battle of Gog and Magog is not the battle referred to in Ezekiel 38-39. There is a second Gog and Magog battle that’s mentioned in the Book of Revelation. I have teaching on that when you have an opportunity, listen to “What is the Second Gog and Magog War?” But for now, just remember, in Bible prophecy, in end-time events, there are two distinct battles called Gog and Magog. And remember, Gog is a leader, and Magog is a land.
The Bible prophesied that this first battle, upcoming Gog and Magog, there would arise an aggressive leader in Russia who would have a lust to reestablish a legacy of reuniting Russian dominance in that part of the world. Is Vladimir Putin the Gog of Ezekiel 38-39? I’m not saying that he is, but I’m not saying that he’s not. All I know is that he has so worked his position in Russia that he is the leader of Russia until he takes his last breath. All of their elections are frauds, and he has permanently put himself on the throne with that biblically defined lust to reunite Russia and to have that legacy. So Gog is a man, and Magog is a land. Don’t ever forget that. If you understand those two things, you have a good foundation for building an understanding of the coming war with Gog and Magog.
Where Do We Find Russia In The Bible?
Where do we find Russia in the Bible? I’m asked that continuously in my travels and in my speaking. Go to Ezekiel chapter 38. I’ve referenced it several times today, but let me take you there to make sure that you have this highlighted in your Bible. Ezekiel 38, go down to verse 1, and the Bible tells us there, “And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ‘Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog,’ so here we see the differentiation between Gog and Magog, ‘and it says the land of Magog,’ and then it goes on to say, ‘the prince of Rosh.’ That’s how we know that Gog is a man. He’s referred to as a prince. Magog is referred to as a land, and Rosh is just Old Testament verbiage for what we now call Modern Russia. And then it says, ‘the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God, behold, I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh.’ There it is again. Gog is a prince. It speaks of political authority, a man with political authority. Gog is a man. Magog is a land. ‘I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords.’ Persia, Iran, Ethiopia, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet, Gomer with all its troops, Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops, many peoples with you.’
So, over 2500 years ago, the Old Testament Prophet Ezekiel spoke of a group of allied nations in the last days that will attack Israel out of the north. And there is no debate, Rosh is Russia. When you talk about the north, and again on God’s compass, Israel is the centerpiece. What is directly north of Israel? There’s only one landmass directly north of Israel, and that is modern-day Russia. Moscow is located 1662 miles almost directly north, and we have no debate there. And again, listen to our teachings on Russia if you want more detail, but Russia is the only modern nation that matches the prophetic descriptions both in the Old Testament book of Daniel, Ezekiel, and the New Testament book of Revelation.
To Conclude
And so, as we conclude today, I want you to remember this Prophecy Update. What are some of the key things that I want you to walk away with from this Bible study? Well, first, I want you to remember that in the Bible, Persia is Iran. I want you to remember that Iran has multiple significant roles in final Bible prophecy. I want you to remember that the drying up of the Euphrates and the prophecies of the Euphrates—the Euphrates runs through Iran. I want you to remember that Babylon, in final Bible prophecy, is the literal city of Babylon in the nation of Iran. I want you to remember that for the first time in 2500 years, Russia has begun to work together in political and military cooperation, and the Bible tells us those two nations are significant allies in the Battle of Gog and Magog.
I have no doubt, as almost all notable scholars that I study, we all feel unanimously—I’ve not heard one voice of opposition—most everybody feels that this attack, Iran against Israel, is the first time that the curtains are being drawn and the stage is being set for the coming battle of Gog and Magog.
“No man knows when the Lord will return,” Matthew 24:36, “no man knows the day nor the hour that the Son of Man will return, no, not the angels in heaven, but my Father only.” You need to be living ready to meet the Lord. That is the greatest takeaway from our Bible study together.
Separate The Bible From Religious Books
First of all, we understand that what separates the Bible from all religious, all philosophical books, all sacred books of other notable world religions, the Bible alone contains prophetic content. And the prophecies of the Bible are so accurate, they’re history written before it takes place. Bible prophecy gives even the intellectual mind the ability to hold on to the truth of the scripture. And if the prophecies that have already come to pass, and I have no doubt that the remaining prophecies will equally come to pass, you should be living every day ready to meet the Lord.
Remember These Three Prophetic Pieces Of The End Time Puzzle
So, our Prophecy update today, I wanted to give you a debriefing of three significant prophetic pieces of the endtime puzzle that you need to have a cursory understanding of. And puzzle piece number one: Israel. Puzzle piece number two: Iran. And puzzle piece number three: keepyour eyes closely on Russia and what happens in the next weeks and months before us.
If you’re not living ready to meet the Lord, can I pray with you? And when you’re done praying with me, many people call this a sinner’s prayer. It is my genuine desire not just to teach the scripture, not just to give you an education concerning Bible prophecy, but most of all, I want you to know that your heart is right with God. How biblically can you know that your heart is right with God? According to scripture, it requires three things: Number one, you have to recognize your sin. You just have to be able in humility and transparency to say, “God, I know I have sinned. I failed you. I’ve broken Commandments. I’ve lied. I’ve done things unjust.” Number two, you have to repent of your sin. The word repent is a Biblical word that simply means to turn your back on sin, turn your heart to Christ. And number three, you have to receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. The Bible said in Acts 4:12, “Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
The Sinners Prayer
And if you pray this prayer with me, can I ask you to take one extra step? Will you write it in the comments, those of you that are watching the YouTube channel, and let me know, and we would like to know and pray with you as well. Anything we can do to help you, go to lostlam.org, it’s on the screen. Be sure to listen to the playlist entitled “New Beginnings” on our YouTube channel. Everything we do at L Lam Association is to help people find their way to right relationship with God because the Bible will be of little value to you if you’ve never met the author.
Will you pray with me? Whether you’re praying for the first time to make peace with God or you’ve wandered away from the Lord or you’re not living in victory over sin, you need to have that assurance. Pray with me right now, just say, “Heavenly Father, today as I was listening to the Bible, you were speaking to me and down deep in my heart, I want to know and to have full assurance that it is well with my soul. Today, in childlike faith, I recognize my sin, and I repent. I turn my back on sin and in faith, I turn my heart to Christ. Come into my heart, be my Lord and my saviour. With the blood you shed upon the cross, cleanse my mind, my body, and my spirit, and make me holy in your eyes. Today, I receive Christ as my savior. I receive salvation as the gift of God by grace, and I vow I’ll serve you all the days of my life. Keep me ever ready in these last days and perilous times in which we live. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen and amen.”
Into my heart, into my heart,
Come into my heart, Lord Jesus.
