The Rapture Is Directly Linked to World War III
THE RAPTURE IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO WORLD WAR III EMMAUS ROAD MINISTRIES Bible Prophecies for Our Day Explained Insights from ―The Rabbi‖Luke24:13-35 (Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the scriptures to us?) As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. He asked them, ―what are you discussing together as you walk along? Cleopas asked him, ―Are you only a visitor to Jerusalem and do not know the things that have happened there in these days. ―What things?‖, He asked. ―About Jesus of Nazareth,‖ they replied. ―He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place... Luke: 24:25-27 He said to them, ―How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the scrip- tures concerning himself. ‖Who is ―The Rabbi‖, Rabboni? Though he had no formal earthly training, Jesus was called ―The Rabbi‖ because of the authority with which He taught (see Matt 7:28,29). All scripture is given by inspiration of God... (II Tim 3:16). Jesus is God! He is, therefore, the author of all scripture. A favorite saying of Chuck Missler, a popular Bible Prophecy Teacher of our day, is that ―more is said about our day (this exact time) than any other time period in history!‖ So, what saith the Scriptures? A Bible Prophecy Newsletter A final warning to all who read this publication, to get ready for the time is truly at hand. ―Rev 22:14 KJV Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.‖ Written by Harvey Troyer, Austin, Texas May/June 2010 TITLE: THE RAPTURE IS DIRECTLY LINKED TO WORLD WAR III A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? WHY YOU NEED TO READ THIS BIBLE PROPHECY NEWSLETTER Have you ever heard a preacher or Bible Prophecy Teacher say, ―America is not mentioned in The Bible‖? Have you heard prophecy teachers state emphatically that End-time Babylon is in Iraq (in the Middle East), and is being rebuilt in Iraq today? Have you recently heard professing Christians, teachers and preachers ―mocking the pre-tribulation Rapture‖ stating that we are already living in the belly of the beast and in clear sight of all the prophesied last day inventions and horrors of the Antichrist‘s kingdom; and, guess what, ―we are still here‖! They go on to mock and criticize the major pretribulation Rapture teachers for deceiving us because these teachers have taught and written many books stating that all Christians will be ―Raptured or caught up to heaven‖ before the Antichrist‘s system arrives. Have you heard many Christians including teachers and pastors denigrating the State of Israel and talk disparagingly of any pastor or church which strongly supports the State of Israel? IN THIS NEWSLETTER YOU WILL DISCOVER ANSWERS TO THE FOLLOWING ENDTIME PROPHECY ISSUES: 1. Why the Rapture is directly linked to the very day that World War III breaks out. 2. An amazing new interpretation of Daniel 9:24-27, …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 2 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? the famous Daniel‘s Seventieth (70th) Week Prophecy and the 7-Year covenant of the Antichrist with “the many”. 3. How the Psalm Chapter 83 Arab/Islamic League covenant to annihilate Israel (See Psalm 83:5) is directly linked to the fulfillment of the Daniel 9:27 confirming of a 7-Year covenant with ―the many‖.

THE RAPTURE IS LINKED TO A GREAT ENDTIME WORLD WAR (WW III) and THE FAT LADY STILL HASN‘T SUNG YET! If we look at the Great 7-Year Tribulation as a football game, then the first real play bringing real tribulation after the ―kickoff‖ will be a great, terrible (and very short) nuclear World War (WW III); and, the Rapture will happen the same day that America the End-time Babylon is totally destroyed by fire! It is soo… near. The fulfillment of Daniel 9:27 (the famous and highly anticipated 7-Year Peace Treaty between Israel and ―the many‖ and signed by the Antichrist) will come about as the result of this great war, after Israel‘s …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 4 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events.

Also Obadiah capsulizes, summarizes, and highlights the imminent terrible outcome of this war for Edom (Esau), i.e., the Arabs. Obadiah 1:18 (NIV) 18 The house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame; the house of Esau will be stubble, and they will set it on fire and consume it. There will be no survivors from the house of Esau.” The LORD has spoken. Obadiah 1:15(NIV) 15 ―The day of the LORD is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head‖. See Daiel 9: 27 (NIV) [THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIEL] He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‗seven.‘ In the middle of the ‗seven‘ he will put an end to sacrifice and offering.

It will happen the same day that fire and sulfur rain down from heaven thus connecting the Rapture to the very onset of a great world-wide nuclear war! Up to now, we have not had a great nuclear war; therefore, the righteous have not been raptured yet. This extremely important, and somewhat well-disguised eschatological pattern has passed by the notice of almost all Bible Scholars and Bible Prophecy Teachers. The Pre- tribualtion Rapture can be found in almost every Bible Prophet‘s description of the great end-time war scenario (the Day of the LORD/the Great Day of God‘s Wrath/the Great and Dreadful Day of the LORD, etc). Again, almost all Bible Scholars fail to recognize the direct connection between the Rapture and the great World War (WW …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 6 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? III) at the very beginning of the great tribulation period. Please read on! First, read 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 (NIV) The Man of Lawlessness (the Antichrist) Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask 1 you, brothers, 3 Don‘t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 6And now you know what is holding him back, so that he (the Antichrist) may be revealed at the proper time. 7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. [Pay attention to the word until (or till) in 2 Thes 2:3 and 7.] [It should be totally clear to mature Christians that this is talking about the ―Holy Spirit‖, the third person of our Judeo-Christian ―Triune Godhead‖, who indwells all true believers. The Holy Spirit and the true pre-tribulation saints are holding …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 7 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? back the Antichrist until the moment of the Pre-tribulation Rapture, when we will all be suddenly taken out of the way so that the Antichrist may immediately be revealed at that time.] 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. (Jesus Christ will overthrow and destroy the Antichrist, the False Prophet and their entire vast armies at Armageddon 7 years after the rapture, at the end of the tribulation period. Remember that Jesus comes for his saints as a thief in the night at beginning of the 7-Year Tribulation period; and then, He comes with his saints at Armageddon at the end of the 7-Year Tribulation period. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 8 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie (that the Antichrist/Lucifer is God) 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness. [2 Thes 2:3 and 7 (Amplified Bible) 3Let no one deceive or beguile you in any way, for that day will not come except the apostasy comes first [unless the predicted great falling away of those who have professed to be Christians has come], and the man of lawlessness (sin) is revealed, who is the son of doom (of perdition). [Dan 7:25; 8:25; 1 Tim 4:1] 7 For the mystery of lawlessness (that hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken out of the way. Note: Yes I am aware that ―the great falling away‖ in 2 Thes 2:3 can be correctly interpreted to mean ―the sudden departure of the righteous saints‖, i.e., the Pretrib Rapture. To me both interpretations …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 9 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? apply and are correct; it is not an either/or case. TODAY THERE ARE MULTIPLIED MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN A PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE BECAUSE THEY ARGUE THAT THE BIBLE CLEARLY TEACHES THAT JESUS CANNOT, AND WILL NOT, COME UNTIL THE MAN OF SIN (THE ANTICHRIST) IS REVEALED (II THES 2:3). FIRST OF ALL, THEY MAKE THIS ERROR BECAUSE THEY OVERLOOK THE ANSWER GIVEN IN II THES 2:7 (SEE ABOVE). MAKE SURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THIS! ALSO, PLEASE NOTICE THAT THE RAPTURE AND THE REVEALING OF THE ANTICHRIST ARE TIMED CLOSELY TOGETHER AND HAPPEN IN RAPID SUCCESION. THE SECOND GREAT MISUNDERSTANDING THAT CAUSES MILLIONS OF CHRISTIANS TO REJECT A PRETRIBULATION RAPTURE IS THE TEACHING IN REV 12:17, REV 13:7-8, AND DAN 7:21-25 WHICH STATES THAT HE (THE ANTICHRIST) WILL MAKE WAR WITH THE SAINTS TO OVERCOME AND CONQUER THEM. THEY ASK, HOW CAN THE SAINTS BE RAPTURED TO HEAVAN PRETRIBULATION IF THE SAINTS ARE HERE ON EARTH DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD AND THE ANTICHRIST IS FIGHTING AGAINST THEM TO OVERCOME, CONQUER AND ANNIHILATE THEM? …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 10 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? THIS IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION! THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE. THIS PROBLEM WAS CAUSED IN THE FIRST PLACE BY THE OSAS (ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED) DOCTRINE OUT OF CALVIN AND THEODORE BEZA‘S REFORMED THEOLOGY; WHICH IS A HYPER-GRACE, ―IN SIN‖ GOSPEL, WHICH TEACHES THAT ALL ―BELIVERS IN CHRIST‖ WILL BE RAPTURED. THE ANSWER IS THAT ―IN SIN‖ CHRISTIANS WITH DEFILED ROBES OF CHRIST‘S IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE LEFT BEHIND. AND REMEMBER THAT PAUL REFERED TO SUCH CARNAL CHRISTIANS AS SAINTS. THAT IS THE ANSWER. Dear reader, if you want a comprehensive study on this topic please request and read my November/December ERMNL Booklet titled: Beheading—God‘s Final Safety Net After Rapture. It gives the complete answer. Are we reading the latest signs correctly and according to the Biblical Pattern of end-time events? Do we really understand the Rapture scenario pattern actually portrayed through- out the Bible? The many who unwisely love to mock those of us who still believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture are …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 11 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? now getting bolder, and more boisterously vocal every day. [I recently heard the new term ―vicious ignorance‖ used to describe the various forms of mocking the Pre-tribulation Rapture, that are now becoming so common. Many people are absolutely clueless as to what is happening in our world as we approach and rush into the tribulation period; and yet, they get very adamant and upset when confronted with the truth. The great Apostle Paul gave the following final warning after giving a key prophetic end-time revelation concerning the emergence of the Antichrist onto the end-time world scene, and the Pre-tribulation Rapture of the saints: 1 Thes 5:1919 20 Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt.] Most of 20 (NIV) today‘s popular Bible prophecy teachers have incorrectly taught people that the Rapture is not connected to any other sign or event; that it is not taught in the Old Testament; and that is has always been imminent and could happen at any time. These incorrect teachings have caused a lot of unnecessary confusion about the timing of the …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 12 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? Rapture, which we will more thoroughly investigate for correct answers in this newsletter. What did Jesus Christ teach regarding His return at the end of the age? Luke 21:34-36 (KJV) 34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Please notice the key (operative) word snare (or trap). Isaiah Chapter 24 is a key O.T. description of World War III breaking out on end-time planet earth. Isaiah 24:16-18 (NIV) reads: 16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” (This is the Pre-tribulation Rapture.) But I said, “I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray! With treachery the treacherous betray! 17 Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of the earth. 18 Whoever flees at the …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 13 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. Luke 17:26-37 (KJV) 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the 28 flood came, and destroyed them all. Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. [To me it is obvious that this is the Rapture! How can this passage be fulfilled and how can fire and brimstone (sulfur) rain down from heaven this same day unless a great sudden nuclear WW III breaks out on this very day?] 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. 32 Remember Lot‘s wife. …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 14 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events.

And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together. Note: Please understand that ―eagles‖ and not vultures is the correct translation. This is talking about the live Body of Christ (His Bride)—the Eagles—the true believers in the Rapture! Therefore it says, where the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered. [Eagles do not eat dead bodies as vultures, buzzards, etc, do. Therefore, this passage is not speaking of Armageddon and the great supper for the birds Rev 19:17-18.] This is a fulfillment of Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; the shall run, and not be weary; and the shall walk, and not faint. Please read all of Isaiah Chapter 40. It is a powerful endtime prophecy!

Saith the Holy one. Also, please read Isaiah Chapter 54 (Israel the restored wife of Jehovah). This chapter is dynamite! 1 Thessalonians 5: 1-9 (NIV) 1Now, brothers, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, ―Peace and safety,‖ destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape (see Dan 8:25). 4But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief. 5 You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. 7 For …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 16 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events.

(This is the Pre-tribulation Rapture connected to WW-III.) Please notice how the wording of all these verses is referring to the same great war by fire and sudden departure of the righteous saints. If all Bible scripture is infallible, then these passages must all come to pass exactly as written under divine inspiration! Amazing? 1 Thessalonians 1:10 (NIV) 10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead— Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath. 2 Thessalonians 1: 6-7 (NIV) 6God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you 7and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well.

This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you. (This is also the Pre-tribulation Rapture connected to the outbreak of WW-III.) (Please notice that in Luke 21:36 Jesus admonishes his followers to watch and pray that they may be accounted worthy to escape all that is about to happen and to stand before him. Also, in Luke 17:29-30 Jesus states that the same day that Lot (representing the righteous) left sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

(The Pre-tribulation Rapture and outbreak of WW-III are definitely connected!) The good news is that there certainly will be a Pre-tribulation Rapture and there is still time for the ―fat lady‖ to sing as the saying goes in operas and sports arenas! In other words, the Rapture will happen right on time as YAHWEH, our God the Father planned and scheduled it long ago, and nothing and no one can stop it. Very few have really solved the mystery of exactly when and how the Rapture will actually occur. The above examples are only a very small sample of the many scriptures in both the Old and New Testaments, which portray this exact same scenario! The Rapture has always been directly tied to the sudden outbreak of a great World War by fire also known as ―The Great Day of the LORD‖.

It will include the sudden destruction of Damascus, Syria in one night as described in Isaiah Chapter 17. It will include Desert Stroms War III in Isaiah Chapter 21, which I have called the ―Lynchpin‖ to WW III, and this segment of this great war will include the sudden total destruction of End-time Babylon (America) as described in Isaiah Chapters 13, 18, 19, 21, 47; Jeremiah Chapters 50 and 51; Revelation Chapter 18, etc. (See my America The Babylon Mini Prophecy Bible, color-coded in NIV text.) It will also include the Psalm Chapter 83 War which Bill Salus has been emphasizing (the destruction of the inner circle of Israel‘s enemies, i.e., those sharing a common border with Israel). It will include the Ezekiel 38, 38 Gog/Magog War. It will include the Jeremiah 25:15-38 War.

Watch out for the following possible war scenario(s) to erupt very soon, starting in the Middle East with Israel in the center of it all: 1) Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran or Syria provoke Israel with an Act of War Incident (Chemical or Biological attack on an Israeli City). (Israel retaliates by launching a nuclear attack that takes out Damascus, Syria per Isaiah Chapter 17, while also simultaneously launching conventional war (non-nuclear) attacks at other inner circle Arab targets listed in the PSALM 83 War list possibly using very powerful MOAB or MOP-Type air/fuel fire bombs). 2) Israel may have and may use a new secret weapon called a NNEMP (Non-nuclear EMP Device) on Iran just prior to a preemptive strike to take out Iran’s Nuclear Sites—final preparation for Isaiah 21 Desert Storm War III from US and/or Israel. Benjamin Netanyahu’s secret emergency trip to Moscow in a private jet 9/7/09 was all about this and warning Vladimir Putin not to deliver S-300 Anti-Aircraft Missiles to Iran.

Israeli Mossad apparently hijacked the mysterious Arctic Sea Russian cargo ship, which was carrying S-300 Missiles headed for Iran). (Delivery of this NNEMP could create immediate retaliation blowback from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran or Syria to use Chemical or Biological Weapons on an Israeli city). 3) An all out DESERT STORM WAR III (air war only) is launched against Iran’s Nuclear Sites by America, with Israeli backup support Isaiah Chapter 21! (This will call for an immediate total RED ALERT in America because Russia has repeatedly warned the U.S. that if we or Israel attack Iran, then Russia will take out America in an all out nuclear attack).

I believe that it is highly probable at this point that Israel will immediately launch an all out PSALM 83 ENEMIES attack against her “inner circle” neighbors as part of this scenario in which America (Babylon) falls. (Please note that Iran (Elam and Media) and her allies will play a key role in “nuking America” according to Isa 21:12, Isa 13:17, Jer 50:9, Jer 50:41-42, Jer 51: 11-13, Jer 51: 28-29.) 4) When America and/or Israel attack Iran’s nuclear sites with Bunker Buster Mini-Nukes, then our (America and Israel’s) enemies will immediately start retaliating with nuclear and CNB missiles. Then World War III will spread rapidly. (THE RAPTURE OF ALL TRUE CHRISTIANS WILL HAPPEN HERE JUST AS THIS WAR GOES NUCLEAR AND AMERICA IS BURNED BY FIRE.

Experts say it's impossible to say how the manuscript ended up there, but speculate it may have been lost in transit or dumped after a raid some 1,000 to 1,200 years ago. The National Museum of Ireland issued a statement saying, "In discovery terms, this Irish equivalent to the Dead Sea Scrolls is being hailed by the museum's experts as the greatest find ever from a European bog." "It is not so much the fragments themselves, but what they represent, that is of such staggering importance," said the museum's director, Pat Wallace. "In my wildest hopes, I could only have dreamed of a discovery as fragile and rare as this. It testifies to the incredible richness of the Early Christian civilization of this island and to the greatness of ancient Ireland." The summer of 2006 appears to have been a prophetically eventful period.

Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? Psalm 83 predicts the formation of a ten member Arab confederacy that some day will seek to wipe Israel off the map. Coincidentally, Hezbollah appears to be listed among the Psalm 83 confederates as the “inhabitants of Tyre”. Tyre is located in Lebanon and has become infiltrated by the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Also, although it was greatly “under reported” at the time, the government and military of Lebanon were full participants in this summer of 2006 war and definitely helped set the “AMBUSH” for Israeli tanks that ignited the war. It was a Lebanese/Hezbollah versus Israel War in the Summer of 2006 starting on July 12 and ending on August 14, 2006. And right around July 25, 2006, the World Headline News reported this story! I find this more than amazing! The nations who have turned away from the God of the Bible cannot say on the day of judgment that they were not warned and did not know what was happening in the Middle East to deliberately force the destruction of Israel.

And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined. 27―And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate”. …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 54 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? To make sense of this very complex prophecy, you must understand the definition of ―WEEKS‖ as it is used in this prophecy. Week or Shavua means a ―set of seven‖ or a heptad. It can be days or years. For example in counting the omer from Firstfruits to Pentacost (The Feast of Weeks), it means counting of days (i.e. 50 days) by counting 7 x 7 days (7 sets of 7 days) = 49 days + 1 more day = 50 days. As used in this prophecy which the Angel Gabriel gave to Daniel in Daniel 9:24-27, the term weeks means YEARS so that each week (Shavua) (set of 7) is now 7 years. When the Israelites counted their years according to God’s commanded guidelines through Moses they counted their years in Jubilees. A Jubilee was like a mirror image of counting the omer for the Feast of Shavuot (The Feast of Weeks). The formula was 7 x 7 plus 1 = 50. A Jubilee was counting years so each set of 7 years became a Shavua (7 years) x 7 sets = 49 years + 1 year which was the 50th or “Jubilee” year. Now I want you to see how the math worked to “decode” this prophecy in its first timeline. This prophecy has two (2) timelines as you will …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 55 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? see. The second timeline was mentioned by Sir Isaac Newton in his famous codex but was never completely understood until very recently. It was the great Sir Robert Anderson, who retired from Scotland Yard, London as Chief of Criminal Investigation in 1896, who “wrote the book” called “The Coming Prince” in which he decoded the first timeline of the Daniel 9:24-27 prophecy. Amazingly, he discovered and documented that from March 14, 445 B.C. [Artaxerxes Longimanus gave the edict to Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem], and April 6, 32 A.D. [Jesus Christ the Messiah entered Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday] was to the very day 173,880 days. Since by definition all Jewish prophetic years have 360 day per year, he divided 173,880 Julian Calendar days by 360 to convert to Jewish years and it came out to 483 years [69 weeks] with one (1) week (a heptad of years) 7 years missing. The Angel Gabriel told Daniel that there would be 70 weeks [70 x 7 weeks of years = 490 years] to complete the prophecy; hence, were are missing 7 years ( 1 week or 1 heptad of years) which we know to be the 7-Year Tribulation Period. Now that you see the first timeline, let me try to explain the …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 56 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? second timeline hidden in the same prophecy. When you read Daniel 9:24-27 above, you will notice that Gabriel breaks out 7 weeks and 62 weeks in addition to decreeing the full 70 weeks. This allows us to define the second hidden timeline. The Daniel‘s 70th Week Chart above on page 52 helps to explain this second end-time timeline. The length of the final generation is 70 years [See Psalm 90:10 (NIV) The length of our days is seventy years…]. Now read Luke 21:29-32 (NIV) 29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32 “I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. In learning the parable of the fig tree, we have to identify the rebirth of the State of Israel here at the end of the age. Israel is the ―fig tree nation‖. Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948. Since their declared statehood happened before June 13, 1948, …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 57 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? which marked the first Feast of Weeks for the Jews in their new state of Israel, last year May 29th,2009 marked their 62nd Feast of Weeks in their new land. [Here we find the Sixty two (62) Feasts of Weeks broken out and fulfilled.] This year is 2010 and this May 23rd marks Israel‘s counting of their Sixty third (63rd Feast of Weeks) in their new state. But wait, the prophecy from the Angel Gabriel to Daniel broke out 62 weeks then 7 weeks or vice versa. The Feast of Weeks also represents ‗Sevens‘, a shavua (a Set of 7 Days x 7) or a ―Set of Seven Weeks‖ to fulfill this prophecy (See Appendix B, Page 62 (Counting of the Omer Explained). Since Israel clearly has ‘celebrated’ 62 Feasts of Weeks with nothing but wars, rumors of wars and constant terrorism right out of the starting gate (May 14, 1948), we see the accurate fulfillment Daniel 9:25. 25 So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 58 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events.

Notice the reverse order of 7 weeks and 62 weeks but is still works. Now please remember that the United Nations Resolution to rebuild the Jewish State and Jerusalem was issued November 29, 1947. It certainly has been rebuilt in times of distress or troublous times! Also, the new ―rebuilt Jerusalem has for the first time a ―Plaza‖ and ―Moat‖ just as Gabriel prophesied. Moat can mean a ―big dig‖. Of course rebuilt Jerusalem‘s moat does not have water. Its moat is the enormous excavations ―big digs‖ around the outer wall right down to the level of ancient Jerusalem in the days of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The plaza is the ―Kotel‖, the large flat area by the ―Wailing Wall‖. So, this very year May 23rd 2010 [Feast of Weeks/Shavuot/Pentacost] starts a new counting of the 1st year in the final breakout of seven (7) Feasts of weeks.

This runs the 7-year Tribulation into early 2016 the very timeline that I have been telling you, which started July 11, 2009. Wow! Also, if you start with May 14, 1948 and add 70 years [for the final generation which will not pass away until all is fulfilled Luke 21:2932] you come to May 14, 2018. But you must subtract one (1) year to convert from the Gregorian Solar Calendar (365.24 days/Year) to God‘s Prophetic Biblical Lunar Calendar which has 360 days/year. Do the math [365.24 x 70 = 25,566.80 divided by 360 = 71 years] So when you subtract that year it brings you to May 14, 2017!!! That‘s 7 years from May 14, 2010. Are you still not convinced that we are in the final 7-Year countdown? What additional proof do you want?

On the second day after Passover (i.e. Firstfruits), a sheath of barley (measuring an omer) was offered in the Temple, signalling the allowance of the consumption of chadash (grains from the new harvest). On the 50th day after the beginning of the omer count (i.e., the day after the Firstfruits wave offering on the Sabbath following Passover), you count 7 x 7 weeks [49 days] plus one day [the 50th day] and now you celebrate the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), two loaves of wheat bread made with leaven were offered in the Temple to signal start of the wheat harvest and the end of the barley harvest. …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 62 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? The origins of the omer count, enumerated in the Midrash Rabbah Parashas Emor, explains that when the Children of Israel left Egypt they were told by Moses that 49 days after the exodus, they would be given the Torah. The populace was so excited at the prospect of a spiritual liberation, following the physical emancipation from Egypt, they kept a count of the passing days that ended with the giving of the Torah at the foot of Mount Sinai. The Torah itself, in Leviticus 23:15-16, states that it is a commandment to count seven complete weeks from the day after the Firstfruits Sabbath following Passover, ending with the festival of Shavuot on the fiftith day. Shavuot is the festival marking the giving of the Torah to the Jewish nation on the 8th of the Hebrew month of Sivan. (Based on Karaite Judaism Calendar.) (Note: Rabbinic Judaism has own calendar with Sivan 6th as Shavuot which is May 19, 2010.) Please Note: This fourth feast of the LORD [ The Feast of Weeks/Shavuot/Pentacost] was to occur precisely fifty days after Firstfruits (Christ's resurrection). Therefore, the feast was given the name "Pentecost" (Acts 2:1) which means "fifty." …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 63 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? The Feast of Weeks is a symbolic festival which pointed to the coming of the Holy Spirit and the birthday of the Church. The Son of God arose from the grave on Firstfruits. He then spent forty days with His disciples in post-resurrection ministry (Acts 1:3). Immediately after forty days, Jesus informed them that it was necessary that He leave them and ascend to His Father in Heaven (in order to apply the benefits of His once and for all sacrifice). However, He told His disciples that they would not be left abandoned and comfortless. He would then send them His Holy Spirit who would come alongside to help in His absence (John 14:16-17). The disciples were commanded to tarry at Jerusalem until He came (Acts 1:4), and they knew exactly how long they would have to wait for Pentecost to come. The coming of the Holy Spirit would occur on the next Jewish holiday [The Feast of Weeks/Shavuot]—a festive time when Jews from different countries were to be in Jerusalem to celebrate the completion of the barley harvest season. This annual feast was none other than Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks. The disciples waited as they were commanded; however, their wait was not long—only ten days. And …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 64 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? then it happened. The Spirit of God descended on those first-century believers. The two loaves of leavened wheat bread which were brought to the Temple represented both Jew and Gentile; however they became one in Christ with the advent of the Spirit's coming. Writing to the Ephesian believers, Paul said" "For he is our peace, who hath made both (Jew and Gentile) one, and has broken down the middle wall of partition between us ... to make in himself of two (Jew and Gentile) one new man, so making peace" (Ephesians 2:14-15).

Now let me tell you about Pentacost 2010 per Moon Phase Calendar [see April 2010 calendar http://stardate.org/nightsky/moon/ ] 1) the first sliver of the new moon will have to be on a Friday 2) the Wednesday before that Friday will have to be the 14th of the month (i.e. Passover) …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 67 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events.

The Rabbis have not followed the written Torah, but have based their 2010 calendar as is their custom on their Talmud and the oral Torah teachings and traditions of the Rabbis. They have Passover this year starting on March 29/30, 2010. The Rabbis in Israel today are literally ―out of date‖! They should already have …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 68 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? adopted their Hebrew Creator‘s Calendar back to the pattern followed in the O.T. written Torah to the letter, as was the practice in the days of Jesus Christ, the Messiah, when he was crucified. This is especially true when the calculations of the Rabbis‘ current Hebrew calendar are clearly contradicted by the physical evidence of the Aviv Barley and ―the New Moon‖. The ―Sign of Jonah‖ concerning Jesus Christ of Nazareth [whom the Rabbis still reject to this very day after 2000 years] may very well point out the Rabbis‘ critical and careless error made in 2010, and prove them wrong. 40 Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale‘s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Look at it for yourself, the above ―Moon Phase Calendar‖ for April 2010 fits absolutely perfectly to fulfill the ―Sign of Jonah‖ Prophecy. This is wayover-the-top amazing. This 30-day April 2010 Moon Phase Calendar matches exactly the month in which Jesus Christ of Nazareth was crucified, dead, buried and resurrected almost 2000 years ago, and the Rabbis missed it again! …PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD O ISRAEL (AND AMERICA)!!! …AMOS 4:12 A Newsletter of Bible Prophecy Analysis – Emmaus Road Ministries Harvey Troyer—Austin, Texas May/June 2010 Page 69 A Prophetic Analysis of Key Bible chapters and Passages with Current World Events. Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? The chronology of Jesus' crucifixion: 1) He was crucified on Passover the 14th 2) He was placed in the tomb that night. 3) He was in the tomb for three days and three nights; Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday to 6 P.M. 4) The sliver of the new moon on the eve/night of the Sabbath day–evening of the sixteenth—announced to the world that He would be rising soon. 5) His resurrection is at 6:00 PM on Saturday (the Sabbath), the beginning of First fruits. 6) His grave was empty on the first day of the week—Sunday. [By the way, the ―Good Friday‖ story that Jesus was crucified on Good Friday is a pathetic distortion of the truth. Surely, the Devil loves it because it makes it impossible for the ―Sign of Jonah‖ to ever be fulfilled making Jesus out to be a liar. Shame on our blind preachers.] Folks, we must pinpoint Passover and the LORD‘S Resurrection (Firstfruits) exactly, to pinpoint the Feast of Pentacost (Shavuot). Pentacost falls exactly 50 days after Firstfruits and that comes out this year to June 5/6, 2010 based on this Moon Phase Calendar.

Where Do We Stand in Time Today in Relation to the 7-Year Tribulation Period, The Rapture, Desert Storm War III, WW III, and the Gog/Magog Ezek 38,39 War? A RECAP SUMMARY: What are the God-given criteria that have to be met in order to establish a specific Biblically-based date for Pentecost? 1) Jesus must arise from the tomb on a Saturday at 6:00 PM. 2) Passover must be on a Wednesday on the 14th of the month. 3) The new moon must be the determiner of time. 4) There must be 50 days to Pentecost from Monday 18th (the day after the Sabbath Lev 23:11). Dear reader: What sign marks the shift from the 62 week (year) count to the final 7-week (year) count in Daniel 9:24-27? It is the signing or confirming of the covenant. Will it be a ―forced‖ peace treaty? Word from underground sources has it that BO demanded a response within 3 months in February (i.e., a 3-month deadline)! Guess what, the deadline for Israel to agree with the U.S. imposed borders plan is on Pentacost date May 23rd 2010. That means that BO‘s demand to Bibi was issued on the ―Illuminati marked day‖ of Feb 22, 2010 George Washington‘s birthday. This date is encoded in the clock on Independence Hall in plain sight on our 100 dollar bill (see page 45 of last month‘s ERMNL. Is that amazing or what? Can you say Rapture?
