Think on this: “I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the Word of God.” (Revelation 20:4)
Pray on this: Grant us empowering grace to remain faithful in our testimony for Jesus and the Word of God no matter what we face in the days ahead. In Jesus name, AMEN!
Hi Jim,
I think that this war is not just about sitting back and watching, waiting for it to all come to the glorious end you propose. It is not about being complacent and letting G-d do His work. You and your listeners must understand that HaShem gave us ISIS in order to cleanse this world. Just like the fires of Gehenom are there to purify the souls who have sinned in the next world, the fire of war is here to give us the same purification powers. When a metal pot becomes non-kosher, we pass it through fire to burn out the impurity. This is the power of fire and it is not about feeling good that we will win. We need to purify ourselves and the Jewish people need to purify themselves so that the Messiah will be revealed. I believe even you will agree that the world is not saved until the Jewish people accept the Messiah and we rebuild the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Until that time, the fires will only get stronger and the weapons will get more intolerable until the work of G-d is completed. This will happen ONLY when the Jewish people return to Our Lord G-d.

Hi Jim:
Thanks for your faithful teaching.
I did notice the verse you used today from Rev. 20—it sounded like you said that the ones who how already been beheaded would be honored for their testimony for Jesus. I don’t think any of those beheaded so far have been believers and also the next man they plan to kill has become a Muslim.
I think that verse is talking about the people during the Tribulation time who will not take the mark of the beast and so are killed.???
what do you think? Just curious. Thanks Debbie J.
