The Bible gives us the ability to discern the times of Revelations. The prophecy is given with one ultimate goal: To call to reflection and faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.
Today marks before our eyes announced several signals of a political, religious, social, climatological, technological, and so on.
Jesus said: "ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? " Mt. 16: 3
THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE IS: Are you standing on the Rock of salvation?

"Huffington Post" -- Republicans in the House of Representatives have introduced a measure that would green-light an Israeli bombing campaign against Iran. The resolution, H.Res. 1553 (in full below), provides explicit support for military strikes against Iran, stating that Congress supports Israel's use of "all means necessary" against Iran "including the use of military force". US military leaders have warned that strikes could be catastrophic to US national security interests and could engulf the Middle East in a "calamitous" regional war. Nearly a third of House Republicans have signed onto the resolution, which has been publicly discussed and circulated by its lead sponsor, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), for months. The National Iranian American Council is leading calls to oppose the measure, urging those concerned to demand that House Republican Leader John Boehner denounce the resolution.
The introduction of the measure coincides with a pattern of renewed calls for military strikes that have escalated since President Obama signed "crippling" Congressional Iran sanctions into law. Neoconservatives who were instrumental in orchestrating the Iraq War, such as Bill Kristol, and Reuel Marc Gerecht, have led the stepped up calls for military action.
Hawkish former Bush Administration official John Bolton recently laid out the game plan to prod Israel into attacking Iran, arguing that outsiders can "create broad support" for a strike by framing it as an issue of Israel's right to self defense. Supporters for military strikes, Bolton says, should "defend the specific tactic of pre-emptive attacks" against Iran. He urges that Congress can "make it clear" that it supports such strikes and that "having visible congressional support in place at the outset will reassure the Israeli government, which is legitimately concerned about Mr. Obama's likely negative reaction to such an attack."
In spite of enthusiasm from the neocons, top US military leaders have warned of the many dangers of military strikes against Iran. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has argued, "Another war in the Middle East is the last thing we need. In fact, I believe it would be disastrous on a number of levels." Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs has expressed his own serious reservations about an attack, stating, "Iran getting a nuclear weapon would be incredibly destabilizing. Attacking them would also create the same kind of outcome. In an area that's so unstable right now, we just don't need more of that." General David Petraeus has warned that a strike on Iran would be utilized by the Iranian government to unite it's otherwise divided populace.
Simulations have been conducted over the past year to assess the outcome of a preemptive military strike against Iran. One such simulation, by the Brookings Institution's Saban Center, found that strikes would draw the US into the conflict that would engulf the region into war, and would enable Iran to use the attacks as an opportunity to unite the Iranian people and dismantle its opposition. The simulation also found that the strikes could not destroy Iran's nuclear program but merely set it back a few years.
An Oxford Research Group report released recently reinforced those findings and also warned that an Israeli attack would be disastrous and would be unlikely to stop Iran's nuclear program. Instead, the report concluded attacks could convince Iran to withdraw from the international Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty and to aggressively seek to develop nuclear weapons.

"With sufficient foreign assistance, Iran could probably develop and test an intercontinental ballistic missile [ICBM] capable of reaching the United States by 2015," claimed a Pentagon report that was declassified on Monday. The almost simultaneous timing of two key recent revelations - this and Israeli accusations that Syria had transferred Scud missiles to Hezbollah in Lebanon - has contributed to a fresh escalation of tensions in the Middle East and to speculation that the stage is being set for a military show-down.
The war of words has become particularly harsh, and threats are now being exchanged openly between the United States and Iran: the first salvo since President Barack Obama's inauguration, and a troubling development. "We are not taking any options off the table as we pursue the pressure and engagement tracks," the Pentagon press secretary, Geoff Morrel, said this week. The president always has at his disposal a full array of options, including use of the military ... It is clearly not our preferred course of action but it has never been, nor is it now, off the table." Days ago it was revealed that the US military was actively preparing for war against Iran. “The Pentagon and US Central Command are updating military plans to strike Iran's nuclear sites, preparing up-to-date options for the president in the event he decides to take such action," CNN reported on Monday.
The Iranians, meanwhile, have embarked on a show of force of their own. “Iranian armed forces on Sunday displayed three generations of modern home-made ballistic missiles in military parades marking the country' Army Day," Fars News reported. Last week, the agency quoted the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi, as saying, "As I have already announced, if the US attacks Iran, none of its soldiers [in the region] will go back home alive."
What is particularly worrisome is that a US (or Israeli) military strike against Iran in the near future would, in a sense, fit in with Obama's goals and public relations image up to now. Firstly, there are growing indications that, after the Democratic nomination, the presidency, and the healthcare bill, the Middle East has become the next major quest for the US president.
For example, this is also reflected in the US administration's massive pressure on Israel to make further concessions to renew the stalled negotiations. "At the heart of this disagreement [between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] lies a dramatic change in the way Washington perceives its own stake in the game," the former US ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, wrote on Monday in an op-ed for the New York Times. "It actually began three years ago when secretary of state Condoleezza Rice declared in a speech in Jerusalem that US 'strategic interests' were at stake in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - a judgment reiterated by Obama last week when he said resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict is a 'vital national security interest' for the United States."
Moreover, Obama has acquired a reputation for slow, methodical escalation of rhetoric, followed by daring and decisive action. He tends to give his most powerful opponents ample room to debate and negotiate, and to show maximum reserve in an attempt to secure a claim to the moral high ground: a brilliant public relations strategy, if nothing else.
In the case of Iran, he has gone so far as to delay vital support to the Iranian opposition in the post-election demonstrations last summer and to openly pressure Israel not to attack. He kept a lid on all talk about a possible military scenario coming from anywhere important in his administration for close to a year, and has been reluctant to discuss such an option himself to date.
Critics have accused him of being too soft, but the harshness of his administration's rhetoric toward Iran has been growing since late last year, when a first few cautious officials started talking about the possibility of military strikes on Iran's nuclear program. Escalation has been slow but consistent, in a way similarly to the progression of the domestic healthcare debate that ended in a dramatic victory for Obama.
On Saturday, the New York Times reported on parts of a secret memo by US Defense Secretary Robert Gates, accusing the administration of lacking a clear policy to thwart the Iranian nuclear program [1].
Apparently, still-classified portions of the memo called for an adequate preparation for military strikes. Coming from Gates, a Republican who stayed on as defense secretary after the George W Bush administration was dissolved due to his long-standing opposition to war against Iran, this development is significant.
Analysts see the conflict between the US and Iran as complex and far-reaching. "Until 2003, regional stability - such as it was - was based on the Iran-Iraq balance of power," writes prominent think-tank Stratfor. In the wake of the Iraq war, "The United States was forced into two missions. The first was stabilizing Iraq. The second was providing the force for countering Iran."
There are serious doubts whether the rhetoric itself has not gone so far that reconciling now would have to be a failure for one side or the other. "There is a legitimate concern that if sanctions are considered a political necessity now, will military action be regarded as a political necessity in 2011, once the sanctions have been deemed a failure?" said Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council, this month. [2]
Last month, I pointed out that key US regional allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt had reportedly been pushing for US military action. [3] "There are countries [in the Gulf] that would like to see a strike [on Iran], us or perhaps Israel, even," said US Central Command chief General David Petraeus to CNN in March.
There are consistent indications that Israel, too, is gearing up for an impending regional war and perhaps is considering initiating action on its own. "For practical reasons, in the absence of genuine sanctions, Israel will not be able to wait until the end of next winter, which means it would have to act around the congressional elections in November," Brigadier General Ephraim Sneh, a former Israeli deputy defense minister, wrote this month in an op-ed for Israeli daily Ha'aretz.
Chossudovsky: U.S. Will Start WW3 Attacking Iran:
Sneh's assessment has been among the boldest so far in terms of specific time-frame predictions, but high-ranking Israeli officials and politicians, including Netanyahu, have called for the use of military force as a tool of last resort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. The Israeli prime minister has repeatedly asserted his belief that a nuclear Iran would pose an existential challenge to the Jewish state, and must be prevented despite the high price tag.
Sources close to him add weight to his words in light of the special relationship between him and his 100-years old father, who predicted the Holocaust in 1937 and who is a prominent hawk on Iran. "Look the danger straight in the eye, calmly weigh what should be done, and be prepared to enter the fray the moment the chances of success seem reasonable," said the elder Netanyahu as advice to Israel and his son during his centennial celebration address last month. [4]
In this context, last week's Israeli accusation that Syria had supplied Scud missiles to Hezbollah can be seen as, among other things, part of a public relations campaign to discredit Lebanon and Syria in preparation for a possible conflict there. This is not to say that the Israeli claim is incorrect: on the contrary, it appears to be true, and this is yet another indicator of volatility in the region. Even a high-ranking Hezbollah source (albeit an anonymous one), interviewed by Kuwaiti newspaper al-Rai, confirmed the reports. Israel has long maintained that the transfer of sophisticated missiles to Hezbollah would be considered a legitimate reason for preventative military action.
Tensions have risen in the past six months or so despite mutual attempts between Israel and Syria to avoid a full-blown war. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad decided on a surprise visit to Egypt to discuss the possibility of an Israeli-Syrian war, Ha'aretz reported. [5]
Oddly enough, Lebanon appears to be one among few issues in the Middle East on which Israel and the US can agree. "If such an action has been taken [transfer of Scuds to Hezbollah] ... clearly it potentially puts Lebanon at significant risk," US State Department spokesman P J Crowley told reporters last week.
It is hard to tell whether a major Middle Eastern war is inevitable at this point, but the clouds are getting significantly darker, and the US appears to be rapidly warming up to the idea of a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, whether carried out by the Americans themselves or by Israel. This is a major development, and the next big red line to watch for would be a statement affirming military action coming directly from the US president. If his track record is any indication, when Obama decides to act, he will abandon his reserve and act swiftly and decisively.
Israel Forcing U.S. To Attack Iran and Kill Millions:

John 3:16For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.
Are you standing on the Rock of Salvation? ........................................................ The news about the end times of history are brought before our eyes in an accelerated. Again we see Israel from Jerusalem decided to do what they can lead to a global conflagration.
The news said that the streets in Jerusalem are being taken by ultra-Orthodox Jews who promote the construction of the "Third Temple". It is known that the temple as their studies have to be built on the site where the mosque of Al Aqsa. This mosque is the third largest in the world after Mecca and Medina, and the first in importance in the region.
We also know that the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, distanced himself from Barack Obama regarding the settlement near Jerusalem and vowed to continue construction of 1600 houses.
The so-called "Rabbi Shalom Dov Wolpe is campaigning with 200 buses in Jerusalem to promote the construction of the third temple in Jerusalem.
It is also known that the prime minister of Iran, Amadinejhad; recommended that Israel stop settlement.
Wolpo said that "the people of Israel has particular enthusiasm for Passover, hoping to build the Third Temple and the coming of the Messiah."
He continued, Israel looks forward to the coming of the Messiah and the rebuilding of the Temple and that "the Arabs and the U.S. president, Barack Obama, know that the sanctuary will be on the Temple Mount, rather than the buildings currently therein ".
Here it is clear those in charge and what they intend to do, West does not understand the reasoning of the Middle East. The rabbis are waiting different signals that announce the coming of the messiah and when these signs, in their opinion are met, will do anything to encourage the coming of his supposed savior. Are included in this war, and provocations of different natures. From this spot we think about Israel coming days pay and that the messiah who are waiting will be none other than the Antichrist, the son of perdition. The Messiah said: I came in the name of my Father and I are but if another comes in its own name that will receive, this is what will happen to Israel: You will receive the son of perdition.
John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, to accept him.
In the Middle East are living circumstances that have never before experienced and building the third temple in Jerusalem is one of the most important signals.
Isaiah 55:6
Make search for the Lord while he is there, make prayer to him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7 Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.
John 3:16 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life
Mar 13:8 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
We are entering what Jesus Christ referred to as "... beginning of sorrows ..." according to the passage above.
IAR-Noticias "The times seem to run out in the Middle East. Realignments strange and dangerous, ratification of fronts and new military positions begin to occur between the US-Israel axis-EU, and the Iran-Syria-Lebanon-Gaza, on the other. Is it to the deterrent strategy and the beginning of another escalation in the Middle East? "the diplomatic front was completed and began a military outcome? Experts predict that yes."
For years, announcing the coming war between Israel and Irán. Nuclear Irán?. Is it as nuclear Iran as before Iraq was "possessed" chemical weapons that never existed or were able to show? The truth is that for some years been preparing the ground from various fields. To put it in a single line: It is the "clash of civilizations" that were prepared for decades. Middle East is about to explode and Israel have a number of fronts to deal with.
"For several months, Israel continues adding signals and warnings about the possible activation of a military outcome in the Middle East conflict scenario that could cover three fronts simultaneously: Iran, Gaza and Lebanon, which could be incorporated into Syria."
Iran's president met with leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah and threatened to get involved if Israel repeated past mistakes.
"Ahmadinejad made comments similar after his meeting with Assad. At a press conference in Damascus offered the two presidents sent a clear message to Israel, noting that any Israeli military movement could lead to a massive conflict with all Arab nations in the region .
Also in Hebron streets are taken over by protesters and some are already talking of a third intifada. The Israeli police storm the Temple Mount.
A fact that supports what we are saying is the distribution of gas masks to Israeli territory as a prelude to a war that seems to be at the gates.
This, as we said at the beginning will be the beginning of sorrows. This clash of civilizations is also announced for some time. Then there will be riots in different parts of the world. The chaos will come the whole planet and the final trap, the chaos will be an opportunity to install in the world the false peace and safety of the antichrist who crown.
Since many pages encourage Christians to war and the victory of Israel. From this blog just say that we are for peace but that peace will not come until the return of the Messiah Jesus Christ to the people of Israel who rejected making the blood fall on them. The people of Israel will not rest until it has recognized Jesus as Messiah and this recognition will come as any other people, through repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ as Savior.

Some will say the final clash of "civilizations", this time the world "Western and Christian" against the Islamic world. For quite some time, we are announcing the war between Iran and Israel. U.S. seems to want us to believe that out of the conflict were left isolated on the Israeli government. This, we suspect, is a fallacy because Barak Obama's Cabinet is composed almost entirely of Zionists. Israel for its part says it will not tolerate a nuclear Iran "because it is a danger to humanity." Amidst all this we hear of truly amazing things like, nobody knew for 24 hours in that place was the prime minister of Israel. What rotten smell! No?
The least we can say is that this trip is kind of weird, "Go to negotiate what? For its part Iran admits to having another nuclear plant in the city of Qom The city of Qom is considered the focal point of the Shiite sect both in Iran and elsewhere in the world. It is reputedly the city of Ayatollah. It is no coincidence that there is installed another nuclear power plant. Now in the era when we have a GPS in our car, in the era of satellite, in an era where they know our every move ... Can we believe that the Mossad, the CIA and other intelligence services more developed countries of Europe did not know they were building another nuclear plant in Iran? Again, what rotten smell! Do we believe that naive? Or is that leverage that each of us is worried about paying the ticket of light and concerned to know of their own survival and that this is no time to think about these things where nothing is going? "Nothing is going? There is talk of economic sanctions on Iran and on the other hand we learn that "... the Nokia-Siemens Networks company just sold to the government of Ahmadinejad a sophisticated surveillance system for the Internet. Now they can monitor all calls and messages that the opponents want to send over the network. "as reported by the newspaper ClarÃn in the note above link. All this is very strange! The logic remains the same first generating the problem and then offer a false solution. To bring a false peace first generated the worst mess in history. Pestilence, famine, economic crisis and create a war that may spread throughout the world. Then you can get the false peace and false security prophesied.
I Thessalonians 5:1 But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you. I Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. I Thessalonians 5:3 When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.
