Prophecy Watch..2014 "WHAT A YEAR". BY Pastor Doug Batchelor..

Again many thanks to Pastor Doug and his staff, for this article in Inside Report fourth Quarter, issue.

  Significant world events in 2014 affirm the prophetic times in which we live!

         WHAT A YEAR!

    Even the most casual observers among us know that 2014 was an important year in human history!  From the Ebola outbreak exploding on the scene in West Africa, killing thousands, to the state bans on gay marriage being struck down by the nation's highest court. { (j.b.) Sorry there is but One Supreme Being!] to know that SOMETHING is happening.
     New York Times writer Timothy Egan even suggests that 2014 has been a year particularly bent on conflicts rooted in religion, as the brutal Islamic state rampaged through the Middle East and Hamas and Israel lobbed bombs at one an other. Even Hollywood has been focused on religion lately, with one film critic saying 2014 was the "Year of the Bible," in popular film.

     But most notably, the head of the Catholic [ in Latin this word means Universal] Church, Pope Francis, has made unprecedented overtures to Protestants and all other religion groups towards unity, making him an ever popular figure { Like every one's Grand Pa] and taking center stage in both the religious and the political worlds.  [Please note each time government and church act as one persecution is the result just look at Islam today and and the Vatican  during the Dark Ages. Both said "Worship as I say or die! Millions did]
    What does it all mean?  Let's take a brief look back at 2014, and what happened.....

January 14:  Pope invites the end of separation between Protestants  [actually protesting against Catholic dogma, and their man-made traditions that they they say trump the Bible, Sun -day worship, Mary, man's immortal soul- die and go to heaven or hell, salvation by works, etc etc.] in a viral video message, saying "When we get to Heaven, God will sort out our differences!" Sorry, but earth life IS our testing time, for whom we obey God or the force of darkness, via men?. ]
   Mark 7:9  "And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

February 17: Pastor Jamie Coots, Pentecostal snake-handling preacher, dies from a snake bite when he refused anti-venom treatment.
    Luke 10:19  "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
Note: Satan represents the serpents and sin, what this passage informs any reader, is that in Christ, we can have freedom from sin, (our choice), right? Besides snakes and scorpions can't read scripture! Read the verses above and below vs 19 and see the truth.

February 28: Son of God movie released. Omits, one huge fact:  the Message of WHY Christ had to die.
      Isaiah 53:5  "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."

March 19: Nation of Guinea announces major outbreak of Ebola.
        Matthew 24:7  "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."
Note: STD's sexually Transmitted diseases, in 1900 medicine knew of less than ten, today its over 30, and most teens are infected, Pestilence? What about all the animal flues that have crossed over into the humanity, since the 1980's? What would you call HIV-Aids, that's still killing millions today? All due to sexual immorality, a personal choice each makes, right? Is Biblical, illicit sex worth dying for? Can you not see the reason for these laws, God has given us? He wants all to live!

March 28: The Movie Noah released: drifts significantly from the Bible's account, in fact this Noah is unrecognizable.

     Matthew 16:26 " For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

April 10: Movie, "Heaven is for Real", released, portraying a very Non Bible view of the life to come to believers.
     Genesis 2:7  "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Note: Man became a what? Thus a soul IS NOT an added feature!
    Genesis 3:19  "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return."
Note: Who thinks God's telling us we go to heaven as dust? This began because men believed Satan's lie in Gen 3:4 "You will surely NOT die" That ONE little extra word changed God's truth into Satan's lie! John 8:40-46 .

April 15: Boko Haran,an Islamic terror organization, kidnaps 276 Female students in Chibok, Nigeria. In November 200 are still missing, Feared sold as sex slaves.  {Funny but they stone to death a woman who is not faithful, but men well that's different in the eyes of Allah???  How so human-like!]

April 27: Two popes canonized John Paul II, and JohnXXIII.   [Canonization usually reserved within this Little Horn Power, for those to whom a miracle can be attributed but customs and traditions can and do change, depending upon currant needs, right?]

May 29: Pope visits the Holy Land, and invited opposing leaders to the Vatican for prayers.  [ Was it not possible for him to pray with them right then and there?  NO that would not have made the evening news for weeks]

June 5: Major U.S. Evangelists meet the pope at the Vatican. One says, "I like that this pope is trying to make the church larger."

June 5: ISIS begins offensive through northern Iraq, [Location of ancient Babylon, which God declared would never be inhabited, but Saddam was in the process of restoring it.....] 
     Jeremiah 50:13 " Because of the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues."  aiming to capture Baghdad. This is a Sunni [as are those in Arabia.] This self-proclaimed Islamic state, a Sunni extremists, jihadist group and condemned for mass atrocities by the U.N., including religious persecutions.  {as per their video, they are chasing the promises by Great Britain and France, for a Arab Nation, encompassing the "Greater" Syria, which is all of Iran, Iraq, Syrian Jordan and the whole Arabian Peninsula, and no Israel, for Arab help in W.W.1!]

June 19:Presbyterians voter to allow same-sex weddings in their church.  {Split from the British Anglican Church, which today, is now Catholic, fully so]
    Leviticus 20:13  "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Note: If you disagree with this point, please speak to God about your ideas, He'd love to hear from you!   Matthew 22:37-39   "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."

June 24:  Pope meets with Pentecostals, Kenneth Copeland and James Robinson. 
      {no doubt all prayed in the "spirit" , the tongues, which nobody understands, as they make up sounds as they go along! It's called Glossolalia, and was practiced by many  Catholic Priests for centuries! Tradition does not always follow the Bible does it?

     Revelation 13:3  "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast."
NOTE: When we see things happening that are recorded near the end of the Book, why can we not see that the end of flesh man, is near, and that Christ's return is not far of? Those that obey shall live, those that obey men shall die, at His return! It IS that simple and has always been so!

    Revelation 20:5  "But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection."
NOTE: There are TWO resurrections, the first are the Just, then 1,000 years latter the unjust, shall rise in the same age and with the same ills ass they had at death. Not as the Glorious Body as Jesus has since the cross!  If you'd study, with prayers, the Bible you'd know all this!

July 8: Israel launches Operation Protective Edge against Palestine. More than 2,200 killed.
The terrorists, Hamas, funded by both the U.N {{schools & Food} and Iran weapons and materials, they were able to fire over 4000 rockets into Israel, yet due to the Jewish military effectiveness, the world condemns Israel for defending itself! Go figure! Hamas teachers, and parents teach their 2 year old children,  to repeat," I want to kill Jews, when I grow up!"Sadly the world says "OH, well it's only the Jews", right?

August 2: First American Missionary infected with Ebola, evacuated to Atlanta. Kent Brantly, a 33 year old from Texas contracted the virus at an Ebola care center in Liberia. He latter recovered.
    Matthew 24:5-8  "For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."
Note: Are not STD's, HIV-Aids,  and Ebola and two other Hemorrhagic Flues, are they not PESTILENCES?  Plus,  Avian Flue {birds-chickens}, Equine Flue, [horse] Swine flue have all found a way to cross the Species Barrier, for the first time in the 21 Century! Is this not prophecy , coming to pass, right before our eyes?  THINK!

August 7: World Health Organization-- WHO, calls Ebola epidemic a n international emergency.

September 2: ISIS fanatic militants behead American journalist as part of brutal campaign.

October 3: The Movie "Left Behind", released espousing false , but very popular rapture theory.
Note:  Never, ever, take the words of man, or men, for the word of God, learn that for self! This silly stuff is based on human imaginations about Two working in the flied one is taken the other is left.. 
        Luke 17:36  "Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
      Luke 17:34-37  "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together."
     If Y O U study the last chapters 17+ of Revelation, you'd know what this means! Only Satan and his fallen Angels will be left on this earth, without sun nor moon for 1,000 years, and the only ones with him are the unjust dead, who have not been buried, as he is not going to do that job. Satan, will have none to deceive during this millennium age.

October 6: U.S. highest court { Sorry only God I hold Supreme] clears the way for legalizing same-sex unions in five states.

  1 Timothy 1:10 "For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;"

Note: whoremongers in the Greek text the word is Pornos---meaning-prostitute and where we got the word pornography from.
Manstealers-- Aresnokoits [ar-sen-ak-ay'-tace] meanings-- Sodomite, Abuser of self with mankind. Can Y O U guess why millions have died and are still dying because of practice, this chosen life-style?

October 14: Catholic Bishops call for the church to welcome homosexuals, Pope says "Who am I to judge"?

Note: Given their history of abusing young males, I understand this calling, but do they? They all should study Ezekiel 3:16-27, and really take it to heart.

October 27: Pope states evolution is not inconsistent with scripture.
Note: If the top man, does not believe in Genesis, as written, why should or would ANYONE believe, anything he says concerning the rest of the Holy Bible?  Seems like a great month for non-believers right?

November 4: Ebola crises deepens with 13,208 cases and 4.960 deaths.

Novem ber 17: Pastor Rick Warren [Purpose Driven Book and Mega Church]  and Russell Moore [Southern Baptist Convention leader, meet with the pope for interfaith Vatican conference that included Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, Hindu, Taoist, and Sikh religions.

Note: Religious Stew? If we mix a little truth with much error, what shall the resulting mix be but error?
      1 Timothy 2:5 " For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
Does this not eliminate all other religions? Including all who insist on praying to Mary, as taught by men?

December 12: The movie, "Exodus, Gods and Kings released. Presents Moses inconsistent with scripture.

    Looking back over the year 2014, it would be well for us to be like the sons of Issachart who had understanding of the times to know what Israel ought to do.
     1 Chronicles 12:32 " And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment."
     How shall we respond, When God comes, as He did to Eve, and asks "What is this you have done?" May we, each not reply as she did, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." [Genesis 3:13.]
    Jesus warned us 2,000 years ago, near the end of this age, that pestilences would break out,  [Please know that the Flue pandemic after W.W.1 killed 20 million people around the world.]...
Matthew 24:7 "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places."

  
   Are we not seeing a 'dormant" Little horn Power regaining world-wide power, again, rising to prominence and command the world to follow her?

      Revelation 13:3-4 " And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.  And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"
QUESTION: Most know the Bible's Sabbaths begins on Sundown Friday the 6th day, and ends on Sun down of Saturday the 7th day of the week, so who or what do Y O U think all worship on Sun--day?  If you think any day is fine, please read Exodus 16th chapter very carefully!
   However, please know, that Gos in His Word, told us all these things, so that when they come to pass, we might believe Him, and thus not fear, nor worry! Still look at all those--Wake-Up Calls given to us during this year of 2014
