07/14/2014What is Happening With Israel and the Middle East? Warning: This is the most intense study I have written to date.Recently, I have had many calls and emails asking me if the first of the Five End Times Wars has begun. At first my response was, I sure hope not. But after giving it much thought and praying for insights in this matter, I believe I have a sense of what is happening and what we may expect to happen in the months ahead.Presently, and for over a week, Israel and Hamas (the controllers of the Gaza strip) and elements of Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda forces have been sending missiles back and forth, which appears to be escalating into a full blown war. At this stage, this 'mini war' has been contained within the borders of Israel and the Gaza strip. As long as it stays confined in these borders, it is not the Psalms 83 War. This mini war would need to break out of these borders and expand to include the other countries that are to have a part in the Psalms 83 war. We are talking about the involvement of Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt and other enemies of Israel.When we look at what is happening currently with Syria, Iran, Iraq and Isis, what I am seeing is a great distraction happening that will keep these countries from being able to get involved with Hamas and their attack against Israel. I am going to attempt to explain some of the dynamics of what is happening in Syria, Iran, and Iraq. Iran and Syria are Sunni, and Isis are Shiites. The Shiites are the most brutal and dangerous terrorist radicals in the Middle East. The group known as Isis come from both Syria and Iran. Right now, they are attempting to take advantage of the power vacuum that has been left in Iraq, with the American troops leaving. Isis is basically working to create a country for themselves. Because of Isis' preoccupation with taking over Iraq, they will not want to be sidetracked with what is happening in the Gaza Strip and Israel. Isis has already taken control of the most valuable oil fields in Iraq and it has been reported that they are already selling this oil to raise money to finance their cause. Furthermore, Isis has also taken control of parts of Syria, which would put fear in both Syria and Iran that Isis could be too ambitious in its plans to conquer the land. This aspect will cause both Syria and Iran to be too preoccupied to come to the aid of Hamas and the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This being the case, I see a few possible outcomes to what is happening. 1. Israel is smarter than I am and if I can see the dynamics of what is happening, you can be sure that Israel can see it as well. Therefore one outcome could be that Israel will see this as an opportunity to take back the Gaza Strip. This would have great short-term benefits for Israel. But when the dust settles around them, and when what is distracting Israels enemies comes to an end, the enemies of Israel might all conceivably agree to use their combined powers and forces to get even with Israel.

2. The second outcome could be that when Hamas and elements of Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda forces realizes they will be making their stand against Israel alone, they may broker a false and temporary peace. They may recognize they have too much to lose if they continue without the full backing of the other countries that share their desire to destroy Israel.

3. An update in the news today stated that Egypt agreed to a peace treaty but Hamas who controls the Gaza Strip turned it down. The fact that the Egyptians were even willing to accept a peace agreement goes along with what I said earlier--without the full support of Syria and Iran, It is not wise to go to war. Yet Hamas are showing a lack of wisdom that could lead to Israel making a full boots on the ground push to take back the Gaza Strip. The refusal of the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to accept this treaty will give international support to Israel, clearing the way for them to take a more aggressive approach.

4. I was talking with my friend Russell from the Adirondack Mountains today, He is retired from over 30 years of Government service that included working for the Secret Service and working in the intelligence career field for the US Air force. He heard CNN News the other day with two professional analysts. A former CIA operative and a retired Air force Lt. Col. who he has personally known about. What they are saying is that Israel is in a catch 22. Israel cannot back down from going into the Gaza Strip to take out the Palestinians ability to launch bombs on Israel; because for them to do this would be to accept that they will continually have to dodge these attacks from here on into the future. Yet Israel will not be able to just take over the Gaza Strip in short order. The Hamas and elements of Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda forces are so well dug in with tunnels and other preparations that this military operation on Israels part could drag on for months. What we could be seeing is a slow burning fuse that will lead to a great explosion in the months ahead that will be the Psalms 83 War.

I have even greater reasons as to why I believe this mini war will not break out into the full blown Psalms 83 war at this time. If the Psalms 83 war was to break out now, this would be the first domino that, once it falls, would lead to many other dominos falling in rapid succession. And, the time for the church to wake up and prepare would be over. As I laid out in my study on the Psalms 83 war, when nukes take out at least one city in the Middle East, it could easily cause a global hysteria that World War Three is about to happen. Coincidentally, this would cause a panic on both Main Street and Wall Street. I do believe that we will soon witness a panic on Wall Street. The manufactured bubble on Wall street cannot sustain itself much longer. I am convinced a collapse of the stock market will occur this fall, but I do not believe the Psalms 83 war will trigger this event. Below, I will outline what I see as the first domino event to happen this fall that will trigger the collapse of the stock market. I believe this coming collapse of the stock market will cascade into other events that will lead to the collapse of the dollar and the total collapse of our economy, and our country.When I dreamed of the Northwest quake on May 11, 2013, God strongly confirmed it was from Him by using His Word. Shortly after posting it on my website and Facebook page, I was sent a link to Rev. Jonathan Hansons web site, he has had many prophetic dreams concerning America. After searching his name to get a feel for who he was, I saw evidence that he has been quite accurate in his prophecies. I learned that around 1995, God revealed to him that a great earthquake would hit the Northwest, bringing great devastation to the land. As a result of this tragic earthquake, he saw the 520 floating bridge destroyed and the stock market collapsing. He has been interviewed on TruNews, as well as the Sid Roth program, where he stated that civil unrest would follow this quake. When I began reading David Wilkerson's books, Set the Trumpet to thy Mouth and The Vision, I noticed David Wilkerson connecting coming earthquakes to a coming economic collapse. I will include a brief excerpt from his book, Set the Trumpet to thy Mouth.Are Christians going to suffer when God shakes this nation with earthquakes and economic disasters? Yes! There will be much suffering and hardship, but God will meet the necessities of His overcomers. He will comfort their hearts, and as they see these frightful things coming upon the nation and the world, they will be at peace, saying, God warned us! We are prepared! We knew it all along, and we are not afraid. Our blessed Savior will go with us through it all. Dave Wilkerson, Set the Trumpet to thy mouthWhen you look at the above prophecies, both David Wilkerson's and Jonathan Hanson's, they are both clearly in agreement. If God was speaking and revealing the future to both of these gentlemen, then you would expect them to be in agreement. When you read the Dave Wilkerson prediction of the most devastating earthquake in American history, it does not give any indication that any similar type of devastating event has already affected America. Here is another short excerpt from Wilkerson's 1974 book, The Vision, about this coming devastating earthquake. The United States is going to experience, in the not-too-distant future, the most tragic earthquake in its history. One day soon this nation will be reeling under the impact of the biggestnews story of modern times. It will be coverage of the biggest most disastrous earthquake in history. It will cause widespread panic and fear. Without a doubt, it will become one of the most completely reported earthquakes ever. Television networks will suspend all programming and carry all-day coverage.Another earthquake, possibly in Japan, may precede the one that I see coming here. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind about this forthcoming massive earthquake on our continent. I believe it will be many times more severe than the San Francisco quake. I am not at all convinced that this earthquake will take place in California. Dave Wilkerson, The Vision

NOTE: regarding above statement--it will cause widespread panic and fear What I am proposing is that this predicted great earthquake will be the first domino leading to the destruction of our economy as well as the eventual destruction of America. The statement above concerning this quake, in my opinion, indicates that another event like the Psalms 83 war has not already happened. If the Psalms 83 war was to have already occurred, then there would not be a healthy stock market left to collapse by the time the fear and panic is generated by the most devastating earthquake in American history!

This is now leading me to give my best guess scenario as to the order of coming events leading us toward the beginning of the Great Tribulation, which could begin as early as March of 2015. (Note: I refer to this as my best guess, but I am really just analyzing all the data. I much prefer to call this discerning what makes sense and I am also trusting that the Holy Spirit is providing insights into what I see that lies ahead.)

If the stock market is way overpriced and we are headed to a stock market collapse, the question I would ask is, Is there enough time between now and the Lords return for the stock market to collapse, recover and then crash again at a later date. If the answer is NO: because, We are so close to the Lords return that the next stock market crash will be the last one that will lead into the total economic collapse of America.

Then, based on the prophetic predictions of two respected prophetic ministries, I would have to say that a great Earthquake will happen before a soon coming stock market collapse, and the Psalm 83 war will follow these coming events.

Based on my conclusions, I will now outline a blow-by-blow scenario of what I feel could be the order of events which could start to come together in the next few months. And, once the first domino falls, I believe we will see a rapid series of events come together that will lead us into the Great Tribulation.

Possible Scenario of Events and Timeline

Around the first week of October 2014, a great Earthquake hits the Northwest. It is a 9.2 quake and brings the greatest destruction from a natural disaster ever seen in recorded history. It was predicted that the 520 floating bridge would go out. As it turns out, almost every major bridge in the northwest collapsed, leaving no easy way to evacuate the survivors. Many tall buildings either collapsed, or fell over on their sides.

The Cascadia fault runs 800 miles from northern California to Vancouver Island in Canada. This fault is about 60 miles off shore of the west coast. When this subduction fault gave way, it created a great tidal wave that came into the northwest coast. The devastation was catastrophic, so much that the loss of life is almost impossible to calculate. It will take weeks to make a count of the losses, and weeks to evacuate the survivors.

Every major TV network has cancelled all programming, giving full coverage to the devastation of this quake. If this earthquake was not in itself bad enough, it has triggered an entire chain of other catastrophic events, including large earthquakes to the north, occurring in Alaska, and large earthquakes to the south down into California. Great tidal waves brought great destruction to countries in all directions.

The economic losses are again almost inconceivable. Great companies such as Boeing Aircraft, Microsoft, Google, Starbucks and many other high-tech companies are devastated. This disaster will have far-reaching repercussions. The stock market goes into a tail spin within hours of the earthquake, and the markets are closed for forty-eight hours, only to go into another tail spin when they attempt to resume business. In fact, no effort seems to calm the markets. The utter chaos that hits the northwest begins spreading to other parts of the country as food shortages strike certain areas, which then triggers civil unrest in some major cities across America.

When it seems things can't get any worse, with our nation teetering on the edge of one of the greatest periods of panic ever, our enemies concealed within our own borders arise, taking advantage of our crippled condition. We are then attacked with a number of terrorist events in our larger cities.

Our electrical grid has come under attack in many parts of our country. This forces our government to place most of our cities under some form of marital law. Many of our troops and even much of our naval fleet is called home during this time of great trial on our American soil. It is now the first of November, a time when most businesses are gearing up for the Christmas season; though It is evident this will not be a season to be Jolly. This years Christmas will look like a throwback to the time of the Great Depression, when gifts were either made by hand or when re-gifting what each has to share with friends and family was common. The economy of our country is desperately struggling to stay afloat. Innumerable numbers of businesses are closing their doors daily, while the Government is trying to stimulate a dying economy.

All at once it is reported that hostilities are escalating in the Middle East. America is struggling with its own problems at home and the enemies of Israel are poised to take advantage of this situation. The Isis situation has leveled out, and America already abandoned its position in Iraq when civil unrest erupted within our borders.

Isis has now laid claim to the country of Iraq. It was a bloodbath to the Iraqi Christians that were not able to escape. Now Isis has made a pact with Syria and Iran that essentially states if we have a common enemy, then we must work together to rid our land of our enemy--the Jews.

It is now evident that a full blown war is about to erupt in the Middle East. Those with prophetic understanding realize this is the start of the Psalm 83 War. Tanks accompanied by a great Army are seen massing on the borders of these countries, poised to invade the land of Israel. Syria and Iran, along with the most brutal, radical terrorists from Isis, who now control Iraq, along with Egypt and other Muslim countries, are combining their forces for a dramatic move that will wipe Israel off the map. Chants and cries echo throughout the streets of every city in the Middle East, Death to every Jew!

This build up for war is causing global panic. Stock markets around the globe have collapsed. The global food panics and hording of food have triggered global food riots. Currencies are collapsing throughout the entire world. In fact, what is taking place is unlike any event ever anticipated in history!

With the collapse of currencies, the collapse of the food infrastructure follows. Within days, families around the world are running out of food and panic is turning every city into total mayhem. Global starvation is happening and it does not seem there is anything that can be done about it. Our leaders in Washington are dumbfounded, and with everything spinning out of control, it seems there is nothing that can be done to stop the disintegration of our country. Sadly, many leaders are coping out and the number of suicides among the leaders in Washington and around the world escalates daily.

At this time, the Leaders of the G-20 Nations are meeting in Europe with other leaders from around the world seeking to find a global solution to this growing global collapse. After much wrangling back and forth over a two week period, a consensus agreement is finally reached. During the two weeks while these agreements for a global solution were being worked out, it was estimated that fifty million people died of both starvation and the growing anarchy in cities around the world.

It is now the End of January when it is announced that a global agreement has been worked out. In 24 hours, there will be an international reset of currencies and every nation will come under a new One World currency and a new One World government. Almost every nation on the globe has signed off on this plan that will bring us out of this crisis. (The only hold out is the countries of the Middle East and Israel as they are too tied up in the breakout of War to be part of these negotiations. It is hoped that a separate peace and plan can bring them into the Global agreement at a later date.) This means that every nation will give up its own constitution and sign on to a new One World government constitution. The Plan is calling for a new ten region global government that will be run by ten appointed leaders to head up each of these ten regions. New monetary rules will be phased in during the weeks ahead. It has been said that without this plan 90% percent of the world's population would die in just a year.

A full blown war has now erupted in the Middle East. Israel is being attacked, not by boots on the ground, but by intense missile fire. Israels defenses are being overwhelmed, and the Iron Dome cannot protect the cities of Israel from such high numbers of missiles being fired upon them from so many directions. A missile attack strategy is being used just as was used frequently during World War 2--bomb the cities first to weaken the resolve of your enemy, and then launch a land invasion. Israel realizes that the land invasion will be coming soon and the numbers of boots on the ground from their enemies will be too overwhelming for the army of Israel to repel. They are backed up against a wall and must make the decision soon whether or not to launch the Sampson option.Israel has no choice. It must launch the Sampson option without delay or else they will not survive. Already the loss of life in Israel is unimaginable. As a result, they launch every fighter Jet and bomber in its arsenal. Some jets will be for escorts, some will be decoys, and the bomb payloads will consist of a combination of nuclear war heads and huge fire bombs. The planes are now in the air and Israels enemies were prepared to take them out with their own Iron Dome, consisting of a variety of Russian anti aircraft missiles. Many of Israels planes are taken out. On this day many a brave Israeli Jet pilot and bomber crew gave their lives for their country. They knew this would be a suicide mission. This day reminds me of when Sampson pushed on the pillars. He was willing to sacrifice his life to take out the oppressors of this people. Their deaths were not in vain, two nuclear armed jets hit their targets. Damascus is hit dead center, a great mushroom cloud rises above the horizon. When a second nuclear armed jet strikes its target in Iran, it is believed that Irans nuclear development facilities have been taken out. Many jets with firebombs have hit there mark as well, striking many cities throughout the numerous Muslim countries that were attacking Israel. Israel has suffered great losses, but the damage they inflicted upon their enemies has worked, and the Muslim countries are crying for a truce. The rising mushroom clouds and the rising smoke from the cities of the Arab countries was too much for the enemies of Israel to bear.It is now February 2015 and many of the features of the New One World Government have been put in place, including a new digital global currency. Things are being instituted so fast that many begin to realize this plan was thought out and planned for well in advance of the global collapse, and they are not at all happy about all that has been taking place. For Americans, giving up their freedoms and their constitution is a hard pill to swallow. In one of the ten new regional governments, a lone gunman has taken it upon himself to express his unhappiness with his country being sold into global slavery. Because he has held a position in the government, he has the clearance necessary to get close to the Head of his regional government. He is therefore able to fatally wound one of the ten heads of this new World Government. When this leader is hit in vital organs of his body, the wounded leader is not expected to live. When it is announced that this leader has died, within a few minutes, the very thing Christians have feared has now happened! This leader of one of the ten regions of this new One World government, has just come back to life! Too many, it appears to be a miracle of God, but Gods people know it is a miracle and lying wonder that was predicted would come at the arrival of the Antichrist. This Leader who was dead, but now lives, announces to the World that God has not only healed him, but has sent him to bring peace to the world. He announces that God has given him a plan that will solve the worst rivalry on earth--a plan that will bring peace to the Middle East! Many see the timing of this miracle that has brought this leader back to life as happening at the most perfect time. A devastating war has just happened in the Middle East and the Muslim nations are open to peace after being hit with two nuclear bombs and many large fire bombs have devastated many of their cities. This world leader, who was one of the ten heads of this newly formed One World Government, has now taken control to head up the New One World Government. He has arranged to meet with the leaders in the Middle East in order to propose a seven year peace agreement (to this region of the world) This proposed peace will provide the Middle East and Israel with special privileges not offered to the other regions of the world. As a result, these enticements will seal the deal. What is interesting about what is offered as the peace treaty to the Middle East, is that It is seven years long. This is the event that will mark the beginning of the seven year Great Tribulation. Daniel 9:27, He will confirm a covenant with many for one seven, but in the middle of that seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And one who causes desolation will place abominations on a wing of the temple, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him, I believe this peace pact was set at seven years because it is Satans intension to defeat Gods plans and rule the world for all eternity at the end of this seven year period of so called peace.When this peace is announced on the global news media, many rejoice that peace has finally come to this broken, depraved world. However, the Christians throughout the world see this announcement in a totally different light. For them, it is the beginning of the Great Tribulation and a time called ,War on the Saints. It is now March of 2015. March 20th is the Solar eclipse that has been taught will mark the judgment of the gentile nations.

Concluding CommentsWhen I was at Morningside for the July event, I was having lunch with Kevin and Zack when Kevin expressed his concern that if things didn't happen by next year, what would this do to Morningside's Ministry? We discussed it for a while and when I arrived home, I messaged Kevin on face book with a more detailed response. The message is as follows:Kevin, I sensed your concern for what would happen if next year nothing happens. I have an answer for that concern. If five major prophetic teachers who happen to be pre-trib and are saying or strongly hinting that the rapture is next year, If they are all wrong and if all the signs that are coming together and the blood moons are totally meaningless. and if next year the economy goes into a full recovery, then Jim Bakkers Ministry will suffer greatly and could become a shadow of what it is today, because without the selling of food and prepping stuff he could not get enough support to do all that he is doing.(Kevins response) ExactlyBut if ALL THESE SIGNS are pointing to what I see coming , The Lords coming, and If Jim Bakker was raised up for such an hour as this to warn and prepare the church, then we dont have a thing to worry about, because God does not make mistakes. His timing is always perfect I believe that Jim Bakker has been restored and raised up to warn and prepare the church for the soon return of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe David Wilkerson was prophesying about Jim Bakkers ministry thirty years ago when he wrote these words in his book, Set the Trumpet to Thy Mouth. Page 17, He will comfort their hearts, and as they see these frightful things coming upon the nation and the world, they will be at peace, saying, God warned us! We are prepared! We knew it all along, and we are not afraid. Our blessed Savior will go with us through it all. This is the first time in my life that I have seen so many prophetic voices on the same page. I can list five Pre-Trib teachers and preachers who are either coming right out and saying the Rapture will be in 2015, or are strongly hinting to this coming event.If these many voices are correct, then they are in agreement with me that the Great Tribulation will begin very possibly in 2015. What we are seeing here is not the lone voice such as what happened in 1988 when the leader of a sect said there were 88 reasons for Jesus coming in 1988. NO! We have a consensus! Yet most of the church is sleeping through all that is happening because they have been taught that we are to occupy till Jesus Comes and we will not see hard times. What a great deception, my heart cries for those who have been so deceived. I fear that millions of souls who have been led to Christ in many a Gospel efforts will be lost in the great falling away that Paul referred to in 2 Thess. 2:1-3.(KJV) Now we beseech you brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no one deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.In Closing, I will not preach what I am not willing to practice. I am still hoping we have more time, but I am laying my plans and efforts to do as much as I can to get ready by this fall. I am buying more food because I believe so strongly that soon it will not be possible to do so. I believe that being prepared is necessary to not only provide for my family and friends but also to feed the lost and to bring souls into the Kingdom of God.Sincerely in Christs Service,John J. ShoreyExcerpts from Rev. Jonathan Hansen. He has prophesied concerning a great NW quake that will do great damage, will collapse the stock market and spread civil unrest throughout our country. "America, America, awake out of your slumber; I will shake you, I will shake you with a shake that has never shaken you before."You flaunted yourselves above the world; you flaunted yourselves above your neighbor and your neighbors: brother against brother, kingdom against kingdom, people against people, Christian against Christian in your ungodly attempt to self-glorify yourselves. Both in the church and throughout America your leaders religiously, politically and economically are vain, corrupt and amoral. You are fast losing the salt, the purity that has held you together; that has made you great, if not the greatest of all nations.But, I will bring you down; like the wind brings down the tree, so I will bring you down.You will not escape my wrath; for it is an expression of my love, my deep love that will do all it can to get your attention before my eternal wrath, to remove all those who do not and will not love thy neighbor, will fall.Some say, many say, 'Oh, we will escape. It will not happen to us; for we are your elect; we are God's chosen.' But, I say, you have blinded yourselves with your own vanity. My elect are not the people, the church in America; but my elect are the people of the world that are called by my name and do my will on earth as it is done in heaven. Not people with a false tongue of divination of thy heart, but of divination of my will.For you are a thankless, godless, amoral generation that has been raised by the philosophies of the heathen and I will challenge your philosophies till you hate me and my people. My people will not escape your wrath -- the wrath of the world as some falsely teach; for only the world's wrath will open their eyes clearly to what I am saying so they are prepared to meet me.I am coming quickly for a people, a church without spot or wrinkle; a blood washed, blood soaked people who are really called Christian; not the hypocritical, self-righteous, self-taught, self-educated fool who propitiates his own dogma today.I will tear down the haughty; the mighty religious leader in my kingdom, in my church who has deceived my people with your ever babbling rhetoric that has filled the pulpits across America. Instead of my church being one, you have become institutionalized where my true servants are not even welcomed because you're protecting your own man-made philosophies and your own selfish interests. You think the people are yours, but I tell you they are mine and your man-made denominational institutions will fail; for I am shaking and calling the very elect to follow me, not you. Awake, awake, oh Jerusalem; for the King of Glory is about to appear and only the true elect, the glorified elect, will live in that New Jerusalem that I am preparing.America, your religious leaders are vain and corrupt; your church leaders are vain and corrupt; your political leaders are vain and corrupt; your relatives are vain and corrupt; your neighbors are vain and corrupt. A generation of heathen, those that appear to many as the elect -- my chosen, yet, I have not accepted them because I can see their heart. They are imitations of the genuine; a pearl in the rough.But don't give up; for I will wash you and prepare you through the fire of my love, not the world's wrath, but my love. As a father chastens his children, so I will chasten you and tear down your sand castles, your delusions of grandeur, until you can see the kingdom again."The Lord Jesus is warning the American Christians that he is preparing to return to earth. Before he returns, he will give more opportunities for both the unbeliever and believer to prepare for his coming. Great trouble will fall on America along with a major Crisis that will change the American lifestyle. He warns that the born again believer will also be challenged by the Lord through the change of events in American lifestyle, calamities and persecution. But through it all the true Church will become holy without spot or wrinkle and learn to trust in Jesus. Amen and amen!
