In Matthew 24:9: we find Jesus predicting things to come for the Church Age: Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

Richard Wurmbrand, founder of the “Voice of the Martyrs”, after having spent fourteen years in a Communist prison in Romania, had this to say, “A man really believes not what he recites in his creed, but only the things he is ready to die for.

As readers of these Mideast Updates will know, the last couple updates brought to our attention difficult events that required serious prayer because only intervention from God would spare Pastor R*****, at the very least, the loss of his legs, and the possibility of death from shrapnel wounds.

All claim to be Christ’s ambassadors on Earth but not all really live up to the standards of […]
“SUDDENLY!” Part 15, (Apocalyptic Red Horse & Rider)
Jesus warned that the closer we get to His return, wars and the rumors of war would be multiplied. This has happened. The number of conflicts going on all at the same time have greatly multiplied, both in number as well as intensity. Wars and rumors of wars are one of the signs Jesus said would be part of the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 5/3/2015
While receiving my weekly phone call out of Syria from Pastor R*****, I was reminded of a passage of Scripture in Philippians: For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but […]
