Matthew 24 describes a number of extreme events – some of which have already happened, and some of which will happen soon. Those historical events relate to the terrible AD 70 devastation of Jerusalem at the hands of Roman General Titus. The future events relate to Yeshua’s second coming. This prophetic chapter is therefore like… Read more »

Today I saw a post from a well-known Christian leader in the USA that said this: “The devil has made a strategic mistake and has awakened the Church! Stay tuned!” Considering that this prophetic minister prophesied a Trump victory, and seeing that the initial response to this tweet from others was the assumption that he… Read more »

In the past twenty years I have travelled all over the world – to Europe: to Austria, Germany, Holland, Ireland and England; through the United States and to the Far East – for Toward Jerusalem Council II meetings.

This has caused a certain degree of confusion for believers around the world; and resulted in an array of “prophetic words” that seem to be mistaken.  We need… Read more »

Have faith in the Lord your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” (2 Chr. 20:20)… Read more »

Massive stone reinforced bunkers and metal silhouettes of soldiers greet me, as I arrive at the peak of Mt. Bental in the Golan Heights. Morning wind whips across the top of the hill, while a cool mist surrounds it, gradually being burned off under the August sun. To the north, Mt. Hermon, brown and snowless,… Read more »
