When it comes to tomorrow, Christians need to think while watching the Star
of Bethlehem which will appear after an absence of roughly 2000 years.
Tomorrow (June 30th, 2015) the Star of Bethlehem will be making a return.
Will this mean that the signs of the end is beginning to unfold? And what did
this sign mean? Is it a time of joy or suffering or both?
So lets start. It is crucial to note that The Star of Bethlehem, which signaled
Christs birth is not only mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 2, but
in Numbers 24 as well regarding cataclysmic events.
So lets start first in Matthew 2, it speaks of when Christ was a threat to the
Edomite king and the Anti-Messiah of his day, Herod:
When Jesus therefore was born in Bethlehem of Judah, in the days of King
Herod, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Saying,
Where is he that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the
east, and are come to adore him Who having heard the king, went their
way; and behold the star which they had seen in the east, went before them,
until it came and stood over where the child was. And seeing the star they
rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
But this star was foretold in the Old Testament Numbers regarding Messiahs
first coming and also included another major incident to take place regarding
His second coming as well:
A star shall rise out of Jacob and a sceptre shall spring up from Israel:
andshall strike the chiefs of Moab, and shall waste all the children of Seth.
And he shall possess Idumea: the inheritance of Seir shall come to their
enemies, but Israel shall do manfully. Out of Jacob shall he come that shall
rule, and shall destroy the remains of the city. (Numbers 24:15-19)
To understand the Star of Bethlehem, we need to think like the three wise
men. Motivated by this star in the east, they first traveled to Jerusalem and
told King Herod the prophecy that a new ruler of the people of Israel would be
born. King Herod was alarmed at this star and worried about Christs first
coming and was seeking to kill him and defeat Gods plan by persecuting
Gods little children where Rachel wept all the way to Ramah:
This is what the LORD says: A voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and
great weeping, Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted,
because they are no more. (Jeremiah 31:15)
Few think, and it is time they do as the wise men. While the beginning signs
of the star was joy for the wise men and shepherds in my village near
Bethlehem in the Shepherds Fields (today is called Beit Sahour where I was
born and raised), it was also tears for the children of God. And so will it be
when the star appears again, tomorrow, two millennium later, it says that
soon, the children born of Idumea will seek to destroy the children born of
spiritual Israel.
Such persecution is also recorded in detail by St. John who saw how the
woman (Mary) she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron (Revelation 12:5), this is no doubt Christ, and therefore is
this woman John speaks of signifies the hatred of Mary (the woman), the
Church and also to be redeemed, Israel:
And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the
remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the
testimony of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 12:17)
The beginning of the prophecy by both Jeremiah and John was great
persecution where in Jeremiah the children of God were massacred with the
new born Israelites.
Ezekiel stresses that the whole of Idumea (all Idumea, even all of it) will be
caught up in this massive conflict and will be made desolate by the Messiah
which will stretch from Teman, in todays Yemen, to Dedan, an ancient city in
central Saudi Arabia:
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the house of
Judah by taking vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged himself
upon them; Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also stretch out mine
hand upon Edom, and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it
desolate from Teman; and they of Dedan shall fall by the sword. (Ezekiel
25:12-13)
And what do we see today? The stage is set where Iran is set against Saudi
Arabia (see Isaiah 21) and in Yemen a revolution is brewing. Everything is
working in accordance to the clock of God which even His cosmos reminded
the wise men long ago and it reminds the wise men of today, embrace
yourselves and be ready.
Note that Ezekiel 35 mentions their perpetual hatred against Israel. This
hatred of the Church and the Jewish people, which is so characteristic of
Islam, extends back to the earliest times a truly perpetual hatred. The
Messiah will eventually come to slaughter vast numbers of the army of the
Antichrist in this region because they tried to take these two nations or
these two countries which belonged to the LORD, a reference to Israel
(northern kingdom) and Judah (southern kingdom).
Ezekiel says also that the LORD heard all the blasphemies that the people of
Idumea had directed against Him, how they had multiplied their
blasphemies and their boasts against the LORD. Such endless stream of
blasphemies came in particular from one city in Saudi Arabia Mecca, the
city where the black stone is worshipped by millions of Muslims from around
the world and from which endless invective is poured out upon Israel. It is the
city of seven towers which was constructed this decade while the Bible every
time mentions Babylon in end times context, it gives the names of cities and
vicinities within Arabia, not Iraq. This is truly amazing. For folks who want to
examine the difficult to refute argument and read more (see below at the end I
included a whole study Why Is Arabia Mystery Babylon)
There is no place on earth today where stands the largest structure in the world, used for a religious
purpose, all worshipping in one tongue regardless of pilgrims mother tongues, they all babel in Arabic in
Mecca which is holy to more than 1.5 billion people on earth. The seven structure towers are built upon
what is literally called Mount Babel
Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this
that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I
that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red in thine
apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? I have
trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I
will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood
shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the
day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
(Isaiah 63:1-4)
Bozrah is south east of the Dead Sea, a town one would normally pass through
when travelling from Saudi Arabia into Judea. Isaiah depicts the Messiah
coming north out of Saudi Arabia, his clothes drenched with the blood of his
victims, whom he has trodden down in his anger and fury.
The modern born-again Christians have focused so much on Gods love that
they have largely forgotten that it is bound up with his judgment and
righteousness. The LORD has stated categorically that he will come and
defend his people. The church is uncomfortable with the Messiah in his role as
King and Conqueror. They confuse the meekness of Christ in his First
Coming with the judgment of Christ in his Second Coming. They find it hard
to accept that the Lamb will dispense bloody judgment on a truly grand scale.
As a result they fail to see what ought to be obvious, that the intense antisemitism and hatred by the Islamic nations, the descendants of Ishmael and
Esau, will ultimately culminate in the appalling attempt on the destruction of
Israel which they have long promised to carry out.
Everything I write here is consistent in what we know is happening in the
Middle East. The other part of Christs campaign against the confederacy of
the Antichrist will be conducted in Egypt.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and shall
come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and
the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it. And I will set the Egyptians
against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and
every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against
kingdom. (Isaiah 19:1-2)
But they [Judah and Ephraim] shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines
toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their
hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with
his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the
seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. (Isaiah 11:14-15)
These passages from Isaiah suggest that the Israeli airforce, led by the
Messiah, will fly over Gaza (the shoulders of the Philistines) and attack
Egypt, where they will wreak devastation. The chaos will be so great that the
Egyptians will even turn upon themselves. Isaiah also includes in his
description a reference to the Nile delta which will all dry up. The Euphrates
River and the Nile, both on the news and both are predicted to dry up causing
cataclysmic events on the nations that depend on them. The Bible predicts that
the Euphrates will stop the flow of water so that 200 million man army enters
to make its way to invade Jerusalem and how the Aswan Dam in Egypt will
be completely destroyed. We have written on a coming major drought and
hunger that will also take place.
Also, expect Lebanon to fall and the Christians there to nearly be annihilated.
The following passages from Isaiah show that the Antichrist will invade
Lebanon and deal savagely with the Christian population of that country. The
references to after the manner of Egypt and the slaughter of Midan would
suggest that the attack upon Lebanon takes place after the above-mentioned
events in Saudi Arabia and Egypt:
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in
Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian [i.e the Antichrist]: he shall smite thee with
a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt.
For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in
their destruction. And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him
according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was
upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. (Isaiah 10:24-26)
Behold, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the
high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.
And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall
fall by a mighty one. (Isaiah 10:33-34)
So it is persecution first (yet a very little while, and the indignation shall
cease), then the second coming where this mighty one in verse 34 is a
reference to the Messiah as King, vanquishing the enemies of the Church.
Similar references may be found elsewhere in Isaiah:
Therefore saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I
will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies: (Isaiah
24:1)
And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be
drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know
that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.
(Isaiah 49:26)
The Muslims will eat the flesh of other Muslims and turn into cannibals out of
hunger. It should be remembered that the slaughter that the Messiah will visit
upon these various Muslim nations is in recompense for the awful crimes
which they will have committed against the Jews of Israel and the Christians
of Egypt and Lebanon. For example, Joel says:
And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and
sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Yea, and what have ye to do with
me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Philistia? will ye render me a
recompence? and if ye recompence me, swiftly and speedily will I return your
recompence upon your own head (Joel 3:3-4)
Note that Tyre, Zidon (Lebanon) and Philistia (Gaza) are the very places
where Hezbollah and Hamas are based today.
Jeremiah 25 and Ezekiel 28-32 gives a chilling inventory of the nations which
the Messiah, in person, will either destroy or subjugate in these cataclysmic
End Time events and they are all Muslim.
So remember tomorrow, to go outside as instructed:
Tomorrow, Christians need to reflect, right after the sun sets (9:26pm eastern
time, 8:26pm Central Time and 7:26 Mountain Time) head outside and look
west. Just above the horizon, youll see a bright object in the night sky as
Jupiter and Venus come within 1/3 of a degree of each other. This is what they
call The Star of Bethlehem conjunction because Jupiter and Venus did
something similar near the star Regulus in 3/2 BC, more than 2000 years ago.
Many astronomers say that this ancient celestial event is the one recorded in
the Bibles Gospel of Matthew.

On the evening of June 30th, all eyes will be on Venus and Jupiter as they create a dramatic double star

Indeed, Jesuss second coming is around the corner. How many years from
now, no one can tell for certain, but it seems to be getting closer by the day.
Until then, embrace yourselves and have joy for persecution is at hand.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin
destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.CONSIDER DONATING TO

WHY ARABIA IS MYSTERY BABYLON
The reference Babylon is fallen, is fallen is not only in Revelation, but is
also in Isaiah:
The burden against Dumah (Isaiah 21:11)
The burden against Arabia (Isaiah 21:13)
All the glory of Kedar will fail (Isaiah 21:16)
These are all in Arabia, which is destroyed by Iran Elam (Isaiah 21:2).
And again, a few chapters before, the destruction of Babylon is described as
being absolute. Isaiah speaks of this event:
For I will rise up against them, says the Lord of hosts, and cut off from
Babylonits name and remnant, and offspring and prosperity, says the Lord
I will sweep it with the broom of destruction (Isaiah 12:15).
The broom of destruction! Anyone who has seen footage of a nuclear
explosion has seen the fury and the power of the ominous cloud that sweeps
up everything in its path and is why we have been correct the last two
decades; Iran will gain the nuke and everyone else wrong.
So why do folks skip the name Arabia in Isaiah 21 when they read
Scripture? To mythically superimpose an imaginative Rome on top of the
text says one thing; prejudice is more powerful in the heart of a sinner than
truth and no matter how much they say that they love Jesus, they dont.
Why has there been an immense oversight by many in the field of biblical
eschatology; that when it comes to the destruction of end-days Babylon,
Scripture makes no mention of any of the ancient Babylonian cities: Nineveh,
Ur, Babel, Erech, Accad, Sumer, Assur, Calneh, Mari, Karana, Ellpi, Eridu,
Kish, or Tikrit. All of the literal references in Scripture are in Arabia?
Why is it that they still insist on accusing Rome, regardless that the use
MOTHER OF HARLOTS, while it is commonly attributed to the Vaticans
Mariology with the worship of Ishtar, they ignore that history records that the
worship of Ishtar Kilili, or Queen of Harlots originated from Arabia, not
Rome?
In fact, when Muslims roam roundabout the black stone, it is a throwback to
the worship of Ishtar, whom they called Athtar and Allat. (see Patricia Turner
and Charles Russell Coulter, Dictionary of Ancient Deities, Page 242, Ishtar,
Oxford University Press US, 2001.)
When it comes to the Harlot woman, the Kaaba is a perfect match. The black
tarp is considered by Muslims to be a womans dress (Kiswa) as Edward
Gibbons elaborated:
the kuswa of the magnificent Kaaba, is what is used for clothing of a
[virtuous] covering, on top of it, it is written, the Kaabas dressing, meaning
we have dressed her her dress. (see Edward Gibbon, The Decline and Fall
of The Roman Empire, Volume 6, Chap. 1, Page 211., Little, Brown, and
Company, 1855.)
Everything that the harlot is described it fits the Kaba; dress, pearls, jewels,
gold, silver and even the blasphemies etched in silver threads with golden
inlays across her attire. Just the doors of the Kaba alone has 280 kilograms of
pure gold.
The reference to a prostitute in Revelation 17 regarding the Whore of
Babylon is no coincidence:
And the woman (whore) was arrayed in purple and scarlet color (v. 17)
resembles the near copulating with the Kabas Black Stone, which
historically was dedicated to Aphrodite, the prostitute goddess that was called
Aphrodite Porne (Aphrodite the Prostitute), the goddess adorned in
purple, similar to the depictions given in Revelation 17:4, which the Kaba
has a scarlet-colored inner garment. John of Damascus notes:
After the Hajj was preformed by Muhammad, the rubbing and kissing the
[of the Black Stone]was extremely passionate.
Muslim tradition even perpetuates the blasphemy that:
Arabs pitch tents in Arabia, not Rome. The ultimate fulfillment of this verse is
the destruction of the Last-Days Babylon. We know this because the passage
speaks about: the day of the Lord (v. 9) with the heavens not giving light
(v. 10). This is not historical, but End-Times related.
Then we have the Red Sea:
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was
heard in the Red sea. (Jeremiah 49:21)
The Red Sea is a geographic indicator as to where the Last-Days Babylon will
be located. Look at Mecca on any map and you will see that it sits near the
Red Sea. Some may object, saying that Jeremiah 49 is speaking about Edom,
which was primarily located in modern day Jordan. Yet, in Ezekiel 25,
Edom stretches from Teman (Yemen) to Dedan (Saudi Arabia) (v. 13).
Greater Edom included all of the west coast of the Arabian Peninsula.
Notice the description of her destruction:
As Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown, along with their neighboring
towns, says the LORD, so no one will live there; no man will dwell in it,
(Jeremiah 49:18).
It is no surprise that Iran is focused on Saudi Arabia, since the Bible predicted
that the harlot is destroyed by the beast she rides, that is, the nations she
deceieved with her spiritual harlotryIslam.
Our latest finding here is infinitesimal. We have gathered much to shed a new
light to show the differences between Vatican and Mecca; the evidence is
overwhelming, Mecca fits biblical Babylon and Vatican doesnt. For example
(out of hundreds), where in Vatican do we have Mount Babel which is also
an observatory to monitor the movement of the moon and is called Seven
Towers of the House reminiscent to the ancient name of Babel, which was
called The house of the seven lights of the earth?
Where in the Vatican did they erect the largest tower on earth topped with a
crescent and has observatories to monitor the planets and the moon? Where on
Vatican hill, do they have an edifice decked with gold and silver, littered with
statements that are biblically considered blasphemous, treated as if it was a
woman, and has a massive gate made of pure gold that is literally called BabIllah (Babel) The Gate to God?
There is no place on earth that matches such requirements than Mecca.
Bab-Illah (The Gate of Allah) is the Gate to the Kaba (made of pure gold)
Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning, and
famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges
her. When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared
her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.
Terrified at her torment, they will stand far off and cry: Woe! Woe, O great
city, O Babylon, city of power! In one hour your doom has come! Every sea
captain, and all who travel by ship, the sailors, and all who earn their living
from the sea, will stand far off. When they see the smoke of her burning, they
will exclaim, Was there ever a city like this great city? (Revelation 18:8-10,
17-18).
Apart from Sodom and Gomarrah, this type of utter destruction has never
been seen in any other city, including Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After her
destruction, Babylon will merely be a home for demons, evil spirits, and
scavenging desert creatures (Revelation 18:1-2).
This is in line with the ancient Eastern perception that desolate desert
wastelands were the dwelling place of demons and unclean spirits. The point
being emphasized is that after Babylon is destroyed, there will be absolutely
no human life ever found there again. Jeremiah agrees; he describes this:
So desert creatures and hyenas will live there, and there the owl will dwell. It
will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation
(Jeremiah 50:39). Isaiah confirms a similar fate: It shall be a habitation of
jackals (Isaiah 34:14).
