al Baghdadi Dead?

October 27, 2019 Pastor Smith Leave a comment

The news this morning says the U.S. thinks it killed Abu Bkr al Baghdadi overnight. Waiting for DNA results.

If it was al Baghdadi, I was certainly wrong thinking the “Raiser of Taxes” would die of natural causes. Time will tell! The rumors of his death have happened before.

Dead? At least not here!
They tend to look for you less.

Was it in Anger or in Battle?

While we wait for the DNA results, let’s look at the passage in Daniel.

Dan 11:20

20 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
KJV

Shall be destroyed in neither anger or battle. The words in Hebrew and their definitions are as follows.

Destroyed:

* shabar (shaw-bar’); a primitive root; to burst (literally or figuratively):

Anger:

* ‘aph (af); from OT:599; properly, the nose or nostril; hence, the face, and occasionally a person; also (from the rapid breathing in passion) ire:

Battle:

* milchamah (mil-khaw-maw’); from OT:3898 (in the sense of fighting); a battle (i.e. the engagement); generally, war (i.e. warfare):

All of these things can be said to be true about this incident. He definitely burst (suicide vest), Was not killed by another person, and it was not in battle. It’s reported he blew himself up before the U.S. actually engaged him. Looks like he was our Raiser of Taxes!

What to Look for after al Baghdadi

So, what follows? Who’s next on the scene?

Dan 11:21
And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
KJV

Key words here- Vile Person, Honour, Peaceably, Flatteries.

Vile Person: bazah (baw-zaw’); a primitive root; to disesteem:

KJV – despise, disdain, contemn (-ptible), think to scorn, vile person.

Honour: OT:1935 howd (hode); from an unused root; grandeur (i.e. an imposing form and appearance):

Peaceably: shalvah (shal-vaw’); from OT:7951; security (genuine or false):

Flatteries: chalaqlaqqah (khal-ak-lak-kaw’); by reduplication from OT:2505; properly, something very smooth; i.e. a treacherous spot; figuratively, blandishment:

So, we are to expect someone to rise up and take control of the “kingdom”. It won’t be given to him by honor, but he will take it by treachery. With “reduplication”, phonetically a partial repeat of the previous. So keep your eyes open for someone to arise calling himself by a name with part of Abu Abkr Al Baghdadi in it. He may have more than one name. This will be the “VILE PERSON”.

Who Will Follow al Baghdadi?

He will arise and be the leader of a “small people,” in Hebrew, “GOWY”. Definition: A flight of locusts! Look this man will be the leader of most the Arab nations as a group. Then will peace in the region be possible. Only then will the World shout Peace, Peace, Peace. The opposite of “Wars and Rumors of Wars.

This is going to get very interesting, very quickly. Enjoy it with the knowledge that GOD IS IN CONTROL.

Stay alert. Be a good watchman. The signs will become more numerous, more obvious(for those with “Eyes to See; Ears to Hear), and more rapid, although the signs are coming very fast already!

GOD BLESS

Jordan – ISIS’s Big Mistake

February 5, 2015 Pastor Smith Leave a comment

ISIS sent Jordan the message that it will treat the nation as a traitor. One Muslim attacking another. This is a great mistake for ISIS. King Abdullah declared after the burning alive of their pilot that he would kill them, and their wives and children and burn their house to the ground, and bury it all. (a rather different response than “their Ideology is Bankrupt”!) Yahvah declares in the book of Revelation the the Locust Army will not access the Ammanites & Moabites.(please see The Locust Army Of Revelation – this website for more on this) Radical Islam will not prevail in Jordan, so ISIS has taken on a formidable adversary. Rest assured Jordan will remain a moderate Muslim state. The true GOD – Yahvah- is in control. HE is keeping a promise he made to these people in the Old Testament.

The two witnesses and the fallen angels are due here on Earth very, very soon, and with their guidance, the middle east, including ISIS and its caliphate will flirt with peace. In fact when Satan appears as the god of all gods, even the caliphate is won over with flatteries. When the world is proclaiming Peace, Peace, Peace the End Is very near! Satan thinks he is about to win everything!

Keep your eyes open and your faith strong.

God Bless you All

The Raiser of Taxes is on the World Stage!

October 16, 2014 Pastor Smith Leave a comment

Dan 11:20-21
Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle. KJV

What do you need to be a “raiser of taxes”? You need an area of land with inhabitants to tax, a government structure to collect the taxes and administer the wealth . And all this needs to be done in the name of the “kingdom”.

Sure sounds like ISIL & Abu Bakar al Bagdadhi to me. In fact ISIL has made boasting statements how they are collecting taxes from the people they have conquered in the name of Islam.(the kingdom, the calaphat)

Luckily he will be destroyed (die of natural causes, neither in anger or in battle) in a “few days”

I believe ISIL will be stopped, not with air power alone, but with ground troops, supplied by IRAN which will partner with the US after this Nov, election when we negotiate an agreement with IRAN (Nov. 14 deadline) allowing them to retain their nuclear program. It won’t be sold that way, but that’s what will most likely happen.

This will allow Iran to in essence take over Iraq and Syria, putting them directly at the border of Israel (Juda from the Bible), with the influence of a nuclear state.

Rev 16:12
2 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
KJ V And who were the kings of the East? Persia – todays Iran

And In Revelation GOD tells us Waters are “peoples”

Rev 17:15
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
KJV

So there we are. Iran sitting on Israel’s (Juda’s) border with a nuclear bomb a mere month or two away. What will Israel do? Do nothing and wait for their inilhation, or potentially start WWIII by taking out Iran’s nuclear capabilities? Probably the latter choice.

Note: this is the sixth vial. As for the sixth seal and trumpet, I will discuss them in the future. Just know we are very near.

Thanks for your interest in GOD’s word I look forward to your thoughts.

God Bless

PS: Keep an eye on oil prices. They should continue to fall, maybe even as low as $61.00 but below $80.00 per barrel. This will put Russia’s economy into a free fall. Necessary ground work for the battle of Hamon-Gog. more later
