The Hal Lindsey Report:
       This Bible Expert, Brother, really encourages me...  Big Time ! !   Because of his fine comments and writings,  I have actually 'stopped my personal Program, and taken a whole different route/ tack."  Praise the Lord for this gentleman !


This week on 'The Hal Lindsey Report' I've been a student of Bible prophecy for more than five decades. I've written a few books on the subject. I've made this television program for almost 19 years (counting its years as "The International Intelligence Briefing" on TBN). Yet I'm still wide-eyed with wonder.

Daily, I'm amazed at how precisely the predictions of the ancient prophets are falling into place.

It was only a few years ago that the critics were saying I'd missed the mark in predicting the role Russia would play in the end-times scenario. If you remember, they confused the disintegration of the Soviet Union with the demise of Russia.

Well, if you read the newspaper or listen to the news channels, you know that Russia is alive and well -- and gaining strength as I write these words.

But not only is Gog actually on the scene and in the news, it is actively -- and publicly -- establishing itself as the partner and protector of Iran. Is that significant? Well, if you recall, 2,650 years ago, the prophet Ezekiel said that one day Gog and Persia -- modern day Russia and Iran -- would form an alliance that would eventually attack Israel in the first battle of Armageddon.

Pretty exciting stuff, huh?

Not only that, but another of the predicted four spheres of world power in the last days is quickly ascending to a prominent military role in the world. China is not only building aircraft carriers and meddling in South China Sea intrigues, but may already have an operational "carrier killer" missile. The supersonic monster flies just feet off the surface of the water and is not only lethal for aircraft carriers, but is almost impossible to stop.

That alone could change the balance of power pretty quickly.

And just as the "king of the north," the "king of the south," and the "kings of the east" are emerging into prominence and mounting the stage, the latter day revival of the Roman Empire continues to struggle for existence. But, beware, out of the struggle and turmoil something potent and ominous will arise. The prophets have described what will come very precisely.

Sadly, the fulfillment of the prophets' predictions also means that our beloved nation must continue to decline. As I've often said, I find no mention of a player like America in the last days cast. Admittedly, how the U.S. is removed from its preeminent political position in the last days is speculation. Terror attack, financial collapse, judgment for its role in dividing Jerusalem, even the Rapture of many of its citizens, whatever the reason for America's absence, the fact is the Bible predicts just four spheres of global power during the Tribulation, not five.

As time speeds away, make sure you and your family are prepared to leave this world when our Savior calls for us. None of us want to be on this earth when the 'Day of the Lord' arrives. As He did in the days of Sodom, God is withholding His judgment until the righteous are removed, but that could happen at literally any moment now.

Maranatha!

Good Day, Dear Friends and Readers,

My Mom used to tell me all the time:  "Don't make waves...  Don't get involved."  In other words, 'let George do it, or someone else... don't get into trouble.'  Well,  I was the 'black sheep' of the family, so I thought, and way too opinionated,  big mouth, too dogmatic, and outspoken, that therefore getting myself into hot water with many.   I learned the hard way, and even when I had good news/ info to share, I still took a chance of making enemies,  because the world of men is so myopic and narrow minded, set in their ways from old superstitions passed on by their parents and family !   Many would say:  'Just let them go and simmer in their own stew... and mind you own business.'   But Jesus, in the Bible tells us something different, to be bold and speak the Truth and share the good news of the Gospel ! !  Smile!   I'll tell you good people one thing for sure, that when you get the HOLY SPIRIT, you feel so good and when you learn the truth about the world, and how Jesus will soon correct and cleanse the Earth and Heaven,  you don't care so much about the evil of the day, terrible as it is, with our Christian brothers and sisters losing their lives every day!   Yes, God 'allows' some of His children to lose their lives for His namesake, to prove Satan a liar.   Those brave Christians shall get their double reward seconds later in heaven with a golden crown of glory and total happiness forever, folks.     To be sure, the Lord does not want any cowards in His Army. 

We get strength and courage from reading the Word, the KJV Bible, often,  by praying, by joining in frequent meetings with other Saints and Christian Followers, etc....  from the H.S. [Holy Spirit].   Personally,  I know that I have the Spirit, or else I could not share the Gospel and speak the truth so well, or exist.  
     The pastor gently admonished me to be more active and do more [even with a bum ankle/ heel that will prob never heal...], don't live in the past, or future,  BUT LIVE IN THE NOW !!    We ought to be using this time, NOW, to grow in the Lord, learn more of the Bible, and share this knowledge with others, so that they can be Saved too,  before the stink hits the fan, and the Rapture comes.  
      I have called myself a "Prepper" of sorts, and I believe in storing a few cans of beans up for an emergency, etc.,  but the pastor thinks that we might not even be around to eat those beans because the Rapture is so near.   So I am taking his advice and try to work out my problems  with His help, and grow closer to the Son, Jesus Christ, preparing myself to serve Him better and will more stamina.   That is where I stand today in the cold day of April 24th, 2015.   PTL.  
     I complain that I don't have enough close friends U.P. here in the Frozen Tundra, and know that they won't just come to me....   but I need to reach out and take/ make the first move.   Any suggestions for an old broken down war horse?   I am all ears...  lol.  tschuckman@aol.com  

I was doing some research last night about helping my wife's RLS --Restless Leg Syndrome, and natural vitamins and Herbs, on-line.  B-12, and Magnesium are supposed to help, along with Valerian at bed time.   But you can take/ bring a horse to water--- and that is all you can do, right?  
     Time to go to the I.M. --VAMC now, to the wound clinic for re-dressing of my ankle and leg, for a slow healing wound that is a YEAR OLD!   I am sticking to the program that they set up for me, but it still a slow process of healing for me.  Prayers requested, please.  

I sure do love my new Ram 4 by 4 Pick up truck, and it's so "tight" with no rattles, loose sounds, very quiet, and comfortable with great gas mileage so far !!  Thank You, Lord, for simple pleasures in our lives, but now I have that extra truck payment...   lol.    And Mr. Sun heals my skin and makes me happy.   Vitamin D is SOOOOO IMPORTANT, I found out.   Do Not use sun screen,  because we NEED all the sun that we can get... without burning!   If anything, use a little olive oil, maybe.  And way U.P. in the Upper Peninsula of Iron Mountain, MI., we need more of the sun's rays because of the angle of the sun... a way from the Equator... as I just found out from reading.   And also take some Vitamin D3 along with  your other basic regimen.   The food that we eat now days is mostly devoid of all the vitamins and so we must supplement them.     We are all walking around sick and retarded, me thinks... LOL.

Warm Regards,
Tom
