  1. † For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

    Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. — I Thessalonians 4:16-17 KJV

  2. I would hate to see what the result will be if Barak Hussein Obama succeeds in putting sanctions on Israel while allowing Iran to continue building Nukes!  He is cursing Israel and as a result is cursing the USA and himself

  3. Pastor Farag, I am Afr-American and have so many mixed feeling about these "racial" situations recently. The outcome of both men are sad but I feel they both were responsible for them. We the officers told them to get on the ground or whatever — why didn't they do it? They resisted the police and/or were "mouthy", even using foul language to the cops. They ( the 2 black men ) cause the incident to be worst then when it started. They are considered VICTIMS? Hmmmmm, not in my book. Each are guilty 1- They broke the law 2-Resisting arrest 3-Using profanity to the law officers. THEY, THEMSELVES, CAUSED ALL THIS MESS–and ppl are deceived and blind so much in this country. This is the result of excluding GOD out of everything. Oh, by the way, did you know that those shiny silver/gold like dollar coins you get at the post office doesn't have IN GOD WE TRUST on them?
    Removing GOD from everything–ONE DAY AMERICA WILL GET EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS – A GODLESS SOCIETY. THE RAPTURE is closer than you think, Pastor.

  4. Pastor, I had 3 dreams last night. Sorry If my spelling is weird but English is not my main language  First, I saw many many warplanes in the Air. It was like a rain of warplanes attacking. Second Dream, I heard many people, media and everywhere talking about UFOs things. I told to some people that were around me that this is a sign that the rapture is coming because after the rapture they will blame the UFOs. The Evil is going to make people believe on these things. Third Dream, I saw many people repenting and asking for forgiveness, there were thousands of people accepting Jesus Christ. 

  5. WOW God will surely turn His back on the USA if we turn our backs on Israel!!
    POPE….Chrislam
    I hope I get to see the Lord's blessing as it pertains to your new building, you deserve it Pastor JD 🙂  

  6. WHEN WILL THE CHURCH DEPART?
    Many students of eschatology believe that the Rapture will occur during the Jewish Feast of Rosh Hashanah (Feast of Trumpets).  The same group believes, for many reasons, the Rapture will also occur during a Shemittah year.  We are currently in a Shemittah year that comes to an end in the fall of 2015.  Shemittah years occur every 7 years.

    Sep. 2015, Sep. 2022, Sep. 2029, etc.

    Additionally, the fall of 2015 starts the 70th Jubilee year (Where, in Jewish OT law, property is returned to the original owner).  The Shemittah and Festival of Trumpets are side-by-side for a time in the fall of 2015.   These two feast days (the next unfulfilled appointed times on the Jewish prophetic calendar) are followed 10 days later by the Day of Atonement, and that’s when the 70th Jubilee starts.  Many scholars believe this may also be the beginning of the 70th week of Daniel (The time of Jacob’s trouble); they also believe this is the final jubilee.  God will deal with Israel and the earth-dwellers during this time.
    Is it just a coincidence that Revelation, Chapter 5, is where Jesus takes the sealed scroll?  No.  I believe the property is being returned to the original owner, the Lamb who is worthy!  Wills were sealed with 7 seals to signify completeness and final execution upon the reading. Chapter 6 of Revelation is where the Tribulation (7 years of wrath) begins.

    Rosh Hashanah is the anniversary of the creation of Adam and Eve.  It is believed that exactly 120 Fifty Year (Jubilee) generations have transpired since God created Adam and Eve.  In Genesis 6:3 God says, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.”  Some scholars interpret this to say that God’s sprit will “remain” with man for 120 generations (6,000 years), period!  The 1,ooo millennium will be a period of peace and rest as Christ rules on earth.  Tabernacles completes the 7 days (7,000 years) of mankind’s fulfillment of the 7 Jewish Feasts. 

    Many Christians erroneously believe we cannot know the time of Jesus’ coming.  The phrase “of the day and hour no man knoweth” was a Jewish idiom that referred to Rosh Hashanah.  The feast was known as the feast were no man knew the day or hour of it.  The reason being that two priests had to watch the night sky until they saw the first sliver of the moon.  The new moon was when the feast started, and that’s when the shofar (trumpet) was blown.  And the last blast on the trumpet was long and loud.  It was referred to as the last blast or trump.  Scripture must be interpreted in view of the Jewish culture.

    A proper reading of 1 Thes. 5: 1-9 shows that we know Jesus’ return will be as a thief in the night to those who aren’t ready.  Just when they think it is safe, destruction will come.  They is not us or we.  Verse 4 says the Rapture will NOT overtake us by surprise.  Some interpret verses 6-8 as admonishment to not be lazy, but to, by faith, go about our Father’s work.  And finally, it could not be any clearer, we are told we are not going to suffer God’s wrath (verse 9).

    Well, that’s the big picture.  Behind what’s written above are volumes of details in books that would not interest most people.  And I know that even my laying it out in a simple manner doesn’t mean it will be accepted.  And I have to admit, that there’s some speculation involved.  I just think it is interesting and highly probably that Jesus may return on The Feast of Trumpets in some future year.  Recent events seem to be pointing to the fall of 2015, but I have no guarantee that I’ll live through the night so I’m always ready, and I’m always looking up.  Maranatha!
     
    1 Thes. 5
    1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
    2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
    3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
    4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
    5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
    6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
    7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
    8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
    9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

  7. Thank you Pastor Farag, for this update.

    The UN and the US, are fighting God and I want no part of God's wrath.

    Isaiah 5:20 "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

  8. Pastor Farag, I completely agree with you about Ambassador Prosor's speech being the most powerful in the history of the U.N. General Assembly. I was so moved by his address that I wrote him a letter. He definitely told it like it is & I had difficulty in refraining myself from cheering aloud. A must hear speech for all.

  9. "Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, andputteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh: So likewise ye, when 
    ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors. —-

    its nearer Maranatha ! or will repent lead to relent ? 

  10. The Ferguson, MO and other protests are being done on purpose. The powers that be under the soon coming anti christ are doing it on purpose to divide us racially and more. Look up Agenda 21 it's the agenda of the New World Order and they want any excuse that they can find yes the media is in on it too, to incite riots etc. and to then start martial law.

  11. Great message pastor as always!! Oh how I wish Jesus would come get us. I know God is in control and everything that is happening is His plan, but watching Obama's blunders, the evil of Islam, the growing sin, and the world's increasing hatred towards Israel and the Jews is making me so frustrated and angry that I just want out of here!! Then I start thinking about 'the lost' and I feel guilty 🙁
    Please come quickly Lord Jesus; MARANATHA !!

  12. Thank you Pastor J.D. for the prophecy update.  I pray for Israel and YHWH's chosen peoples and I pray we go home soon. The world is running amuck, just as our Great Redeemer said it would.  Keep your eye's and heart's on Yahshua folk.  Halleli-Yah.

  13. I really like his prophecy updates.but I don't understand why he thinks the rapture comes before the son of perdition is revealed. The bible says He will not come until the son of perdition has been revealed and sat in the holy place calling himself God. The start of the tribulation may be starting now as Christians are being slaughtered for their belief in Christ.  

  14. Pastor Farag ~ Please research Gil Broussard's theory on Planet 7X.  This is a much, MUCH different theory than the widespread (and non-biblically supported) planet X (Nibiru) theory.  Please research and comment!!!  Thank you and God bless your ministry.

  15. JD – hoping this reaches you . I was listening to Hank Hanegraaf , a great biblical scholar , and seems to truly admonish the pre trib rapture theory as bad, can you offer some debunking Scripture  or defense as to why he may be wrong about his camp.? IM posting the link on that particular discussion (show) – i understand many of his points but he really seems to bash Tim LaHaye and has some recent history as to a pre trib conception ( Darby) anyway what are your thoughts, I find a pre trib makes a lot of sense, I really sensed the HS teaching me this to be very true seeing the ripe aspects in hostly , obviously there have always been bad times though since the fall – i mean we can go on and on. I really found true repentance and urgency and desire to want to change , a willingness to change, but also always feel that mercy and grace are always the root not ever our man made works or self righteous work but only true works by HIS Spirit . pre trib rapture brought urgency to repent and confession and being ready with oil any day, and sin hurts worse, temptation takes on new danger and what not . Can you challenge Hank? was wondering if this is the kind of end time signal Jesus mentions, and where is that exactly in Scripture, its like I feel i have heard it and read it but need the context to back it up. Who is said to be bashing rapture theories as the times nearer? http://www.equip.org/eschatology/where-is-the-rapture-taught-in-scripture/ here is the link anyway . 

    also here is the other link as Hank is pushing his book Apocalypse Code , sort of trying to teach the truest context of Scripture. Do you have any thoughts on this as well? Seems to contradict some of your eschatology . Do you feel we do in fact "wish" a pre trib rapture more because it sounds better? Im not sure. What i do know also is that if there is none than it seems to me we are all screwed and heading right for a mark of the beast with no bride getting pulled out ( harpazo thing) – it seems than we all are a deceived elect than, because most very area of society is going to one system ( feel phones and GPS cameras on most highways, etc ) So how will going through tribulation be of any service , what will be set apart as far as the born again followers? at the same time how can you argue with Hank the guys got some knowledge in Scripture. IS there possibility that mean little when it comes to Gods ways not our ways, is it possible many scholars don't have the HS? i guess i already know that answer, but Hank? here is the main podcast of Hank discussing his book which sort of attacks a pre trib rapture,, but many things he says are in line with so much other proper context, what are your thoughts. ? please get back if possible I know you are busy.. http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/bible-answer-man/player/the-apocalypse-code-5721.html

  16. also feel urgency ,considering any moment rapture can come , brings about a more rapid and urgent sanctification. so why wait? thats what concerns me about opponents of a pre trib rapture. i feel we would sort of in the flesh put off any reality of Jesus with us at any time , so we would put off turning from sin. put see Hanks point in history how many sects of Christianity missed certain areas of sin and missing the victory already or they got it wrong totally or used it as control. 

  17. But also remember; America has been a force for much good for all of her existence internationally, including the spreading of the Gospel all over the world, giving billions of dollars in aid, spilling blood defending freedom, supporting Israel, and a lot more. We are still a Christian nation who's motto is "In God We Trust," and the Ten Commandments can be seen above our court buildings everywhere, even if some people in this country want that to end. It's not going to end as long as Christians stand firm on God's Word.

    It seems to me that an awful lot of Christians want to see America punished as soon as possible, a sort of self loathing attitude that I don't really understand except perhaps Christians are angry at what they see happening in their country, and that is understandable (the anger I mean). We shouldn't be looking for God's judgement, but rather for His mercy and forgiveness, not to mention, His wisdom.

    God is going to judge all the nations, America included. That day is coming; but in the meantime, I would say we need to support America, not take an attitude of "I can't wait until America gets it!"

    America has been greatly blessed by God, let's pray that God continues to do so. Yes, abortion and the homosexual agenda you mention are evil; all the more reason to spread the Gospel and intercede for America, all the more reason to stand against such things, and pray for God's guidance and help. Don't give up on America, God is not finished with her, not by a long shot!

  18. Are believers in Jesus also Jewish? If Jesus lives in our hearts then we are one with Him, is not that so. He is the vine and he nourishes the branches. We should all be faithful to the Jewish nation as they are our brothers and sisters.  Have a lovely Christmas from down under.

  19. "Then the second angel sounded, And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed"
    Revelation   8. 8-9
    "……How Babylon has become desolate among the nations! The sea has come up over Babylon, she is covered with the multitude of its waves. Her cities are a desolation, A dry land and a wilderness, A land where no one dwells, Through which no son of man passes"
    Jeremiah    51. 41-43
    Could these two prophecies be talking about the same event? Americas east coast being wiped out by the Second Trumpet?(and coastal western Europe). If so maybe that could be the catalyst for the Ezekiel 38 war? Or maybe this is the Lords judgement on America for not coming to defend Israel in Ezekiel 38? I'm of the belief that the 6th Seal and the first 4 Trumpets will happen in quick succession.  

  20. Pastor JD, I await to view your prophetic update. I have been traveling the last week and hence missed it to view on Monday (that is the usual day I view the Prophetic Update. This has been most exhorting. Our redemption is drawing near, we are at the brink moment of our eternal transformation–. Maranatha !

  21. awesome pastor once again you are so right on, we can feel the tension in the air, our bodies are so attune to what is about to come upon us,  we are told to be very aware of what is going on but to live our lives day to day and be ready but not overwhelmed.  thank you so much for your courage ,telling it as it truly is .

  22. While I completely agree that demonic influence is at work in the racial unrest in the U.S. and abroad, Pope Francis DID NOT call the Koran (Qu'ran) "a prophetic book of peace."

    Watch his news conference again.

    What he said was "MANY [people] say: The Koran is a book of peace, a prophetic book of peace."

    Don't hurt your own credibility to misquoting a source.  I am not Roman Catholic, nor do I subscribe to its history of placing emphasis upon "tradition" rather than God's word. 

    Please be careful in what you say if you're representing the TRUTH in your own statements.

  23. my husband who they murdered but because he was a proactive christian and very much like you, its martyrdom –  even looks like you, the condemned one uses you to remind me of all that I have lost – but you remind me of all that the Lord has given me – so I know that the Lord is good. –  It is all an orchestrated grey ( see American Dad show and Roger – these exist and these demons are controlling NASA – see Free Willziak of South Park and Pushing Tin = there are booths that push around (as a Navy Intelligence officer has confessed at least 600,000 americans)  chipped against their will – to act out "freedom to assemble" they murdered him in effigy in 30 media pieces ( most probable murder because it was shown twice WTC – Hitcher, the pastor being murdered in the exact car my husband had, reiterated in Jack Ryan ( as I was a bit player and was in a Costner movie) and the Orthodox priest was being stabbed in the car his aunt and uncle drove – also in The Jacket )  several NASA Michoud and Stennis – basement actors ( wax face wearers or gel suit wearers – see the admitted gelsuit of the Wolverine actors – all payed for by the taxpayers) to crisis act – Boston Bombing, – even the grand jury members ( they stole my parsonage four times through actors of kangaroo courts not following the law) it is obvious yo any reasonable person in the Garner case that this was brutality but a grand jury couldn't even indict on a lesser crime – because they needed the chipped people to take to the streets – the media even reports on the protesters organized and directed by head sets – the ones crossing a bridge – . Their slaves have demonically threatened my life almost everyday since January 2007 – when they began the threats against my husband I told them to kill me not him as his ministry was to important, good christians would mourn with him – and he could get more people saved through his loss – no they calculated the demonic fruit of murdering him and it has born much demonic fruit – please pray for me – I thought I would be home with my savior by now,  – the Pastor's widow
