He's Coming

  At 3:13 AM, Thursday June 7, 2012, this word came to my spirit and I do believe it came from the throne of Yehovah God. I would strongly urge you to hear it, take it to heart and obey it.
“Prepare for my Son’s coming. Get your house in order for His coming is near at hand. The point of no return has been breached and the time of critical mass has arrived. The coming events are being revealed to my prophets; you would do well to hear their warning. Pray, repent and bring in the harvest for the Sabbath rest is near at hand. Put your house in order says the Lord, and prepare to come home.”

Amos 3:7 (KJV)
7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (KJV)
16 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:
17 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.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words
.

Revelation 22:20 (KJV)
20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
  I’m not speaking to you as a preacher, teacher, prophet or anything else; I’m speaking to you as someone who loves you and is concerned about your immortal soul and the place where you will spend all eternity. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God, believe in Jesus or believe that there will be such a thing as the Rapture or eternity: what you doesn’t matter at because it won’t change the reality you’re going to be faced with one day very soon. There is One God and his name is Yehovah. He is the God of creation and the Father of Yeshua, Jesus.
  The words of Jesus and the words of the Bible prophets are playing out every evening on your television when you watch the news. The countries talked about in the end time prophecies are the very countries where all the turmoil and wars are happening. Everything the prophets talked about is coming to pass at an alarmingly fast rate and, the Bible is once again proving to be accurate, right down to the last period and comma.
  We’ve reached the point of no return; the point where our prayers will not delay, postpone or in any way effect God’s ultimate plan. Jesus could come back to catch His faithful Christians away at any second. This event, called the Rapture, could happen before you finish reading this article. The question is would you go if Jesus called or would you be left behind to face death during the seven years of tribulation? Would you really be caught up to meet your mom, dad, grandpa, grandma; your son, your daughter or your friends in the air and then go on to Heaven to be with the Lord? Only you can make the choice as to where you’ll spend eternity: have you made up your mind.
  Look, if you can’t serve God now, when no one is hunting you down like a criminal; when the police don’t have your picture on a most wanted list, and when the most that would happen is someone might poke fun at you. If you can’t openly serve Jesus now; what makes you think you’d have the courage to stand for Him when to do so means your head will be removed from your body? What makes you think you’ll be man enough or woman enough to take a stand for Jesus when you can’t do it now?
  After Jesus takes the faithful Christians out of this world, more than half the world’s population will be killed by war, nuclear war, famine, pestilence, wild animal and execution. The odds are less than 50-50 that you will survive the seven years of the tribulation. If you can’t take a stand for Jesus, denounce Him and accept the RFID chip in your right hand or forehead (the Mark of the Beast) then your soul will be damned to Hell for all eternity and there is no forgiveness for this.
  I’m begging you, please consider this. Jesus said that the generation that saw all the signs of His return come to pass at the same time, that generation would not pass away until all would be fulfilled: and that includes the Rapture and the Second Coming of Jesus to earth. For the first and only time in man’s history, the generation you and I are living in right now is the only generation to see all the signs come to pass at the same time. We are the LAST generation on earth before the Rapture and the tribulation.
  I’m begging you, please, ask God to forgive you of your sins, accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and put away your foolish pride. Become a true Believer in Jesus and live the short time we have left as a follower of Jesus and help lead as many souls as possible to the saving knowledge of Christ.
  Yeshua, Jesus could come at any second and, if you aren’t ready, you will be left behind. Jesus is coming sooner than any of us can know, please ask God to forgive you and come go with me in the Rapture of the Church.
In Christ’s service,
Dave

Christians Need To Support Israel

  I don't know how to make this more clear, I support and love Israel and I also love the Jewish people. Our Bible says, in Romans 15:27 "...For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things." Simply put, God's chosen people are the sons and daughters of Abraham and these people are the Jewish people. They have preserved the Holy Scriptures for thousands of years and gave us the First Family of Christianity which is Jesus, Mary and Joseph. We Christians were graphed into the family because of Christ, our Lord and Savior.

  More than ever before, the Jewish people need our prayers, our love and our support. The angry clouds of war are gathering over the Holy Land as Russia and the Muslim nations surrounding Israel prepare to attack God's people. Daily, rockets are flying into villages and town wounding and killing men, women and children whose only crime was to be born Jewish and love the One true God. While the United Nations seems to always side with Israel's enemies, those enemies of Israel are waging a war against God's people. While Israel does its best to recognize all people's and their right to exist, the nations of the world still refuse to recognize this nation, the Jewish State of Israel that has given so much to the world.

  As Christians, it is our biblical obligation to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, to pray for the Jewish people and it is also our obligation to support Israel with our "carnal" things as well. Yes, I'm taking about supporting Israel with our finances whenever we feel led and whenever can. Support any number of the great organizations that help feed, clothe and shelter God's children. Support efforts to care of the orphans, widows or help organizations that provide help to those who are trying to migrate to Israel. No matter what you feel led to do, God will bless your efforts and you will be a blessing to those who need our support.

  Personally, I support Christians United For Israel with finances and I am also a member of this great organization. I have watched CUFI grow into the largest pro-Israel organization in the United Sates and have seen the results of the thousands of people who have given to support the many causes CUFI supports. While there are a great many organizations supporting Israel, this is the one I felt led to become a part of. My online church, The Home Church, is also a member of CUFI and supports CUFI with offerings, prayer and posting information they supply from Israel.

  Here's the main point I want to make: no matter what, Christians need to support Israel with our prayers. King David, the great warrior king of Israel, wrote in Pslams 122:6 "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee." God made a promise here that you need to listen to and need to understand: God promised that HE will bless those that pray for Jerusalem (meaning Israel) and HE will bless those that support Israel with their finances. God promised Abraham this when He said " And I will bless them that bless thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." The whole of the earth has been blessed because and by the Jewish people so, lets support them with our very best prayers and offerings. Don't let a day go by that you don't take a moment and pray for God's chosen people and for the City of Jerusalem.

God bless Jerusalem and the State of Israel: God bless and keep you,

Dave

An End Time Scenario

  As I've been looking at all the news pouring out of the Middle East, New York and Israel I'm faced with the fact that Bible prophecy is coming to pass faster than ever before. We're seeing the foundation for the beginning of the end coming together at light speed. We're seeing the Muslim nations, all of which are mentioned in the end time prophecies, banding together and threatening war with Israel and the United States should the Palestinian Authority not be granted statehood by the United Nations.


  The time has come for all of us to make sure that our souls are right with God. We need to make sure that we're right, and that we're sounding the alarm to our unsaved family and friends. We, as Christians, must take this very seriously and not waste a moments time. Yes, while all the signs indicated that Jesus could very easily come back during the season of Rosh Hashanah, there is also a chance He won't. The beautiful thing here is this; even if Christ doesn't come back at the end of this month, we all need to be saved because, the signs say it won't be long. There can be no mistake, Jesus is coming VERY soon.

 As I'm looking at the news coming out from the Middle East and the United Nations, I've been dealing with thoughts and feelings in my spirit. With the Palestinian National Authority trying to force a statehood vote in the United Nations this week, and their threat to go to war if they don't get what they're seeking, I'd like to put forth a scenario that could very easily present itself as this week unfolds. This scenario could very easily happen and the sad fact is, it just might.

1. The vote for the Palestinian Authority statehood fails in the United Nations;
2. Failure send the Muslim's into the streets of East Jerusalem and an armed conflict explodes;
3. The Palestinian Authority calls on all Muslim nations in the region to come to the aide of their "brothers" and attack Israel. This puts the entire region into a war footing where thousands are wounded and killed;
4. The Hamas terrorist group in Damascus launches a chemical and or biological attack on Northern Israel and the West Bank. This attack results in hundreds, perhaps thousands of wounded and dead. Israel would then be forced to counter-attack and they would wipe Damascus off the face of the earth; thus fulfilling the prophecy found in Isaiah 17;
5. Damascus gone, the Arab/Muslim world would thus be out of control and wanting a Jewish blood bath. Russia, who is now Iran's greatest ally, would step in and muster all the Muslim nations together for war. They would select a location near Jerusalem to gather this massive army together and prepare the attack. The only perfect place in Israel, the only location big enough to hold an army the size of what would be coming, is the Jezreal Valley. This location is also known as Armageddon;
6. We would the see Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39 come to pass as God comes down to defend the apple of His eye, Israel. Five out of six attackers will be killed in this battle as God let's the world know, He is God and Israel is His;
7. As soon as the smoke begins to clear, a Muslim man will emerge claiming to have a peace plan that will give everyone what they want. The Palestinian's would have their state, Israel would have their Temple and peace would be brought to the region. The parties will meet immediately, probably in Jerusalem and in a very short period of time, news will come that a seven year peace agreement has been reached and will be signed quickly;
8. While this is taking place, at some point near Rosh Hashanah, the world suddenly finds itself dealing with millions of missing people. All over the world millions of people are suddenly missing and the missing have one thing in common: no matter where these people are, the missing are Christians. While peace is reached in the Middle East, the world is trying to explain why all these people are missing;

  At the moment the first signature is affixed to this seven year peace treaty, the Tribulation Period will begin. The Muslim man who brokers this peace deal is the Antichrist of the Bible. This is the one who will soon become the world dictator and the one who will kill millions of Christian's and will bring about the Mark of The Beast, 666.

  Yes, I do believe that this could be the year that Christ will return for His bride, the church. Yes, I do believe that Rosh Hashanah (The Feast of Trumpets) is the most likely time of His returning. My main concern is that there are so many who have not accepted Jesus as their Savior and, there are so many who are lukewarm Christians and needing to rededicate their lives to God. Folks, there is a very good chance that Jesus could return in the coming days. We all need to make sure that our souls are right with God, that we warn our family and friends and that we do all we can to spread the word and sound the alarm.

  My greatest desire, my greatest prayer is that we all will begin sounding the alarm and win as many souls to Christ as we can. Come on, let's put our theological and doctrinal differences aside and band together as the Church and win souls. Come on, time is short and we need to come together as a family, as children of God and do all we can, while we can.

Blessings and peace,
Dave

Is The Man of Sin Coming?

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4 (KJV)
1
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

  We know the signs of the times are indicating that we are the Terminal Generation and that the Rapture is upon us. The Scriptures we just read tell us that the “man of sin” must be revealed before Christ can return for the church; it would, therefore, make sense that the Antichrist is about to be revealed. It just stands to reason that, since we are on the verge of the long awaited Rapture, that this is about to happen and, it is going to happen in our day.

  I watched a program the other night where three gifted ministers discussed the three theories as to Pre, Mid and Post Tribulation Rapture. In their debate, they all agreed on this point: the Antichrist will be revealed to the Church before he would be revealed to the world. In other words, the Christians will recognize him for who he is before the rest of the world.

  On September 20th, the Palestinian Authority is forcing a vote in the United Nations. They are seeking to have the UN recognize them with some form of statehood. They want to force Israel to give up a lot of land, including the West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem, in order to create this state. These are the indefensible borders Israel was faced with prior to the 1967 Ten Day War. This would divide Jerusalem, which is Israel’s capitol, and would virtually divide Israel in half.

  The Palestinian’s claim that the Jewish people have no legitimate claim to the land, but history tells us a different story: the Bible tells a different story. From the time of Abraham, when God gave this land to Abraham and his descendents, it has belonged to the Jewish people. David, the second king of Israel, took Jerusalem form the Jebusite people and established the capitol there. His son, king Solomon, built the first Temple on Mount Moriah and the Second Jewish Temple was built on the exact same spot later in history.

  Now the Muslims claim that there was never a Jewish Temple on that spot, but history clearly says there was. The Muslim’s have gone to great lengths to try and hide all the physical evidence where they have been removing debris from the Temple mount for hundreds of years… but the evidence remains and much has been preserved. Every time the Jewish people, or anyone else for that matter, digs up some more evidence near the Temple Mount, the Muslim’s cry foul and do all they can to stop the digging and hide the evidence.

  Now, we’re looking at this vote on September 20th. Should the Palestinian’s be denied statehood for any reason, it is believed that the Muslim world is poised to attack Israel in an attempt to take the land by force. Rumors, speculation and troop movements indicate that the armies of the Muslim nations that surround Israel, as well as the terrorist organizations that are situated on the northern and southwestern borders of Israel, are also ready to attack en mass. Many Muslim leaders are already calling for a jihad against Israel over the Palestinian state issue.

  Israel, on the other hand, is already a recognized nation. She was given her statehood on May 15, 1948. Israel was attacked by the Islamic nations within hours after becoming a state. Israel will not, and should not allow anyone to come in and take her land. Israel will not stand by while her capitol is divided or her land stolen from her for any reason. She is a sovereign nation and the land is hers. The land she currently occupies was won when she was attacked and, the she took that land from, Jordan, has officially relinquished claim to the land. The historic “Old City,” home to all of the biblical sites, belongs to Israel.

  Israel is the only nation on the face of the earth that was created and given her land by the Creator, the great God Jehovah. In Genesis 15:18-21, Moses described the area of land God gave to Abraham and his descendants. Were Israel to occupy the land given them by God, it would include part of Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, most of Saudi Arabia,  most of Iraq, all of Jordan, most of Syria, all of Lebanon and small piece of southwest Turkey. The Royal Land Grant will one day be a reality for God’s people just as He said it would be.

  Historically and legally, the Palestinian Authority has NO claim to any of the lands Israel now has and, if you want to be brutally honest, they need to go back from the countries they came from and ask them to give up land for another nation is they want one of their own so badly. The land of Israel belongs to God, and the apple of His eye, the Jewish people.

  Here comes the big picture. I am not alone in my belief that this could be the year that Christ comes for His church; nor am I alone in my belief that He could very easily come during the Feat of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, which will begin this year on September 28th. The Palestinian vote is scheduled for September 20th, this coming Monday so, there would be plenty of time for something drastic to happen in the eight days between the two.

  Here is a possible scenario of what could happen. First, the United States has said that it would veto any vote to recognize the Palestinian State at this time and under the circumstances it’s trying to accomplish it. Should the United States veto the vote with its permanent member status vote, then the Palestinians could begin the call to all the Islamic nations to come together against Israel. They would, in their way of thinking, give them reason to wage war against the little satan, Israel, and the big satan which is the United States. In their view, going to war against Israel would be going to war against the US.

  Syria would launch an attack on the Golan Heights and, as I’ve predicted on previous episodes, they could use chemical or biological weapons against Israeli targets. IF they were to do this, Israel would retaliate with full force and would no doubt fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 17:1-3.

1 The burden of Damascus. Behold, Damascus is taken away from being a city, and it shall be a ruinous heap.
2 The cities of Aroer are forsaken: they shall be for flocks, which shall lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
3 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.

  Israel would launch an all out attack on Damascus and would level that ancient city. This would then inflame the Muslim world causing them to gather for the battle of Gog and Magog spoken of in Ezekiel 38 & 39. At the end of this battle, there would emerge a Muslim man with a great plan to bring peace to the region and to eliminate war in that region of the world for 7 years.

  Ladies and gentlemen, should this happen, the Muslim man who suddenly shows up with a plan for peace, a plan to allow the Jewish people to build the Third Temple on the Temple Mount and bring all the nations in the region to the peace table… this man IS the “Man of Sin” the Antichrist of the Bible. This man will call together all the nations and will have a treaty for peace and it will be for seven years, just as the Bible said.

  Folks, we are the Terminal Generation. We are the generation that will see all these things coming to pass and, based on what is happening in the Middle East, the chances that this is the year of Christ’s return for His bride go up with each passing moment. The probability that Jesus could come back between now and Rosh Hashanah are very good. But even if this isn’t the year of His return, we know it can’t be much longer. We know, from all the news coming from Israel and the Middle East, only a blind person would not be able to see this. Only someone who isn’t paying any attention to the news, because they’ve got their head in the sand, would not be able to know, beyond any doubt, that we are the Terminal Generaton.

  Where is your soul right now? What is the condition of your soul should that trumpet sound in the next five minutes? The Bible teaches us that Christ is coming for those who are “loving His appearing.” He’s coming to take the faithful, the saints, those who are Born Again and looking for His return.

War Clouds In The Middle East

I'm watching The Hal Lindsey Report on TBN and hearing proof of what I've been afraid was building. It seems that the Middle East is poised to go to war with Israel over the Palestinian desire to split Israel in order to create a state of its own. Turkey, which was the home of the Turkish Muslim Empire, is calling on the Muslim world to war against Israel.

It seems that the Muslim world is ready, should the UN vote go against the PA, to immediately go to war against God's people. If they are unable to force a successful vote for statehood, they seem to be ready to attempt to take it by force. This is far more serious than many believe because it will ignite a war that will include all the nations of the Bible prophecy on the end time.

I am calling the Christian world to prayer for Israel, her leaders and the IDF. I'm asking all Christians to purchase a small globe and to hold it in their hands as they pray for the nations of the world and especially for Israel. I'm asking that every Christian pick a time they can pray each and every day and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, to pray for the Jewish state and to pray for the government of the United States. Pray for all the nations of the world that the wisdom of the Holy Spirit will fill their hearts and souls. Pray like you've never prayed before.

Also, I want you to consider that there is a very real possibility that Christ could return for His church during the season of Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of Trumpets. There is a real possibility that, in the coming days or weeks, the "man of sin," which is the Antichrist, could be revealed to Christians. This would indicate to us that we're about to be making our mass exodus from this world and finally going home. There is much to consider here as we're watching what's happening in the Middle East.
Pray my friends, and make certain that your sins are forgive and that you're doing all you can to warn your family and friends. Pray for them and show them with the Bible and the headlines how this is all coming together. We are at the end of the church age and when it is over, we're going home to be with God our Father for all eternity.

God bless you and keep you, may He grant you the ability to win your family and friends to Christ.

In Christ's service,
Dave Lillard

Chosen Generation

  At 12:10 AM on Sunday, June 25, 2011 the Spirit of the Lord spoke to me to write this Prophetic House Call message. As most of you know, I don’t write anything that I am not one-hundred percent sure, that the Lord gave it to me. This is very much in line with other things He’s given me over the last few months and I feel that it is a wakeup call to the church and Christians everywhere.

  This is what the Lord gave me to send out to you who read this blog and, it will be put out on my radio broadcast as well.

  “Speak these words to My people and warn those who are lukewarm and those who don’t believe My Son will come again. Warn and comfort with these words and speak to them with compassion and love.

  This is what the Lord God has to say to all those who will hear. The time of My Son’s coming is closer than many of you believe. Look around you at what is happening in the world. Do you not see the television news; do you not see what is happening all around you? Can you not see the fulfillment of My prophet’s words coming to pass before your eyes? No other generation has ever seen what you are seeing and yet, you sit there and ask Me for a sign? Look around you and read the words of My prophets and you will have no need for any further sign. You are the Chosen Generation!

  It is recorded in My Scriptures that when you see all these signs in a single generation, that that generation will be the generation to see the return of My Son. My beloved Israel is now a nation once more; My holy city of Jerusalem is once more the capital of My nation; the children of Israel that have been scattered among the Gentile nations are making their way to the land of their fathers; the land of Israel, which was once desolate and barren is now flourishing and sending her bounty around the world and the nations of the world are once again plotting to destroy her.

  Look at what the Scriptures have said and see that they are coming to pass in your generation! Look at what My prophets foretold and then see that these things are coming to pass in your generation. This generation is the most blessed generation since the days when My Son walked among you. This generation will be the generation that will see the gathering together of the saints, the tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ to this earth. Look around you and see. Are you blind? Are you deaf? Have you hardened your heart so much that you cannot see what is plain before your eyes? Have you allowed yourself to be drawn into another gospel so deep that you cannot be reached with the truth of My Word?

  Look before you and see what is to come next. Look to the city of Damascus and know that soon it will be no more. See how the heathen is gathering as though they were going to war against My beloved, the apple of My eye, Israel is her name and she is my betrothed. See how that Egypt, Libya, Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia and Babylon are coming together as a mighty army. Look to the land of Rosh and see how they have made allegiance with the enemies of your God. See how the waves are roaring, the earth is shaking and the powers of the deep are churning. See that all I have spoken of is now coming to pass in your generation just as My Scriptures have said it would.

  Open your eyes and see, open your ears and hear what is being said by My prophets in your own day. O you who are lukewarm, you who have strayed from the truth of My Gospel and have turned your hearts to lies and deception. Come back to Me now before you are left behind. Set aside your petty differences, your theological disputes and those things that divide My church. Set aside vain debate and pointing of fingers against My ministers, My prophets and those sent in My name to teach you and warn you. Come together as My children in love for one another.

  I am the Lord your God and I am sending My servants forth to warn you and to prepare you. You are the chosen generation that will see the return of Jesus the Messiah. You are the chosen generation that was spoken of from long ago. There is no stopping this, there is no delaying this: you are the chosen generation! Come to Me while you still can and repent of your whoring, you’re trusting in another gospel and your idols. Do not wait for the tribulation to come for many of you will not be strong enough to endure that time. Turn back to Me now, for I am waiting with open arms to receive you again to Myself.

  These are the words of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, Creator of heaven and earth. Hear My words and live.”

  More on this word from God will be discussed on my radio broadcast this coming week. You can keep up with when I will be speaking on this subject at www.blogtalkradio.com/christiannewsreview or www.davelillardministries.org

  God bless you and keep you,

Dave

Coming Soon

  I can't say this is a word from God, but I believe this could be a definite possibility. Please pay close attention to this and pray about it yourself.

  Today we've been given the new that Osama Bin Laden has been killed. This man was the leading terrorist in the world and was personally responsible for so many deaths. The world should be a better place without him, but I fear this will not be the case.

  While it is reported that no one is planning any attacks against U.S. targets, I don't believe this is the case. I believe there will be attacks against American targets and I fear that some may be within the U.S. mainland. I also believe that there will be retaliatory attacks against our forces throughout the Middle East.

  I also believe that it will not be long before the president will make an announcement that he will pulling our troops from the Middle East. When he does this, I believe that Iran will begin making moves against Iraq, Saudi Arabia and other smaller Muslim nations. I also believe that shortly after our troops are pulled out of the Middle East that it will pave the way for the Antichrist to begin making his rise. While we will probably not recognize these moves, I do believe they will be taking place.

  I urge you to look deep inside yourself and to make sure that all has been set right with God. I urge you to ensure if there is anyone you need to make peace with, you do it immediately. If you have anything in your life that will keep you from having a close relationship with God, ask Him to help you rid yourself of it.

  Christians, our time on this earth is short, our time to win souls, pray for unsaved loved ones is coming to a close. Now is the time to pray harder, to witness more and to do all we can to win as many souls as we can to the Lord. Now is the time to pray more and work harder for the kingdom of God. Make no mistake, the prophetic stream is going to be increasing and will end with the great event where will be transported from this world to our eternal home with God.

  Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for America. Pray for our unsaved loved ones and make sure you're ready, we're going home soon.
