Isaiah 34:1-8 Attend to this warning, all you peoples! For the Lord’s anger is against all the nations and His wrath upon all their military might. He has given them over to slaughter and destruction. All their dead will cover the ground, the corpses and blood will stink. On that Day, My sword will appear in heaven and the sky will roll up like a scroll. Rev. 6:14 My sword, covered in blood will descend on peoples doomed for destruction, upon Bozrah [the sheepfold] and Edom. [the ungodly nations] For the Lord has a Day of vengeance, a time of retribution to uphold Zion’s cause. 2 Peter 3:10, Isaiah 66:15-16, Habakkuk 3:12, Zephaniah 1:14-18

Who thinks that Lord will allow a nuclear explosion in the Holy Land? This cannot and will not happen, many prophecies say how all weapons and military powers will be destroyed on the great and terrible Day of the Lord’s vengeance and wrath. Jeremiah 49:35, Jeremiah 50:25, Psalms 76:3, Psalms 46:9, Amos 5:9

Psalms 37:13 The Lord laughs at the wicked, He sees their Day of judgement coming.

Deuteronomy 32:22 & 34-35 Fire blazes by My anger, it burns to the depths of hell, it devours earth and its harvest, the flames reach the very depths of the mountains. I have in My storehouse, waiting for the Day of punishment and vengeance, when My enemies foot slips, for the Day of their downfall is near, their doom is at hand.

Isaiah 30:26...the sun will shine with 7 times its normal strength, like 7 days in one....
Note: that the microwave effect of this massive CME sun explosion will penetrate ‘to the depth of the mountains’. Causing tectonic plate movement.
The ‘foot slip’- a mistake, that the enemies make, is to ‘prepare [to launch] their weapons, tipped with fire’, and that will be the moment of their destruction.

Psalms 7:12-16 The enemy prepares his weapons, but their deadly shafts tipped with fire will recoil against themselves. They have dug a deep pit, but they will fall into it and their violence rebounds upon their own heads. Habakkuk 3:14, Micah 5:15

Proverbs 16:4-5 The Lord has made everything for its own end, so He has made the wicked for a Day of calamity. Romans 9:22-23
One and all, the proud and arrogant are an abomination to Him. Depend upon it, an evildoer will not escape punishment.


Lamentations 3:61-66 Lord, You hear the bitter scorn and plotting of our enemies. Pay them as they deserve for their taunts and threats. Show them how little You regard them, pursue them in anger and wipe them out from beneath Your heavens.

Nahum 1:2-8 The Lord is a jealous God, a God of vengeance against His adversaries. He will not let the guilty go unpunished. His way is in the whirlwind and the storm, the earth is in tumult before Him, the world and all who live on it. Who can stand before His wrath? His rage pours out like fire, He makes an end to all who oppose Him. But, the Lord is a sure protection for those who make Him their refuge.

On the day the Lord saves His people....
Isaiah 30:26 .....the sun will shine with seven times its usual brightness and the moon will be as bright as the sun, like seven days on one.

Isaiah 63:4 I resolved on a Day of vengeance, [as] the year for redeeming My own had [has] come.

These verses, along with many others, tell us that His people – righteous Christian Israelites, all the faithful Christian peoples, will be protected and redeemed on the same Day that the Lord takes vengeance on His enemies.

A graphic description of Day of vengeance is in Psalms 18:7-15 ....He parted the heavens and came down....He flew on the back of a cherub.....He made darkness His covering. Thick clouds came from the radiance before Him... He hurled forth lightning shafts.

Verses 10-11 describe the Lords mode of transport and that He won’t actually be seen then- “dense vapour His canopy”. Whereas, at His glorious Return, on a white horse and accompanied by the armies of heaven, all the world will see.

Although this Day of the Lord’s wrath is described in Isaiah as 7 times brighter sunshine, the reason for this is a Coronal Mass Ejection; just the flash of an explosion on the suns surface and the Electro-Magnetic Pulse from it will actually microwave the earth’s crust. Deuteronomy 32<22 What will happen then is; earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, resulting in plenty of smoke and ash clouds. Isaiah 30:25-30

It is perfectly obvious that what is prophesied at this Day of vengeance is not the same as at His Return, when He destroys the armies of the Anti Christ with the Sword of His Word.

We know that the Return of Jesus comes at the end of the Tribulation and the last “week”- the final seven years, of this age. Therefore that great event is still some time away, years after the Day of vengeance, when His people, righteous Christian Israelites will gather and settle in the Promised Land. Isaiah 35:1-10, Ezekiel 34:11-16

The wonderful promises that the Lord has made to His people – gathered, redeemed and settled into all of the Holy Land, must be fulfilled; Zechariah 9:16-17

Hosea 14:5-7 I shall be as dew to Israel, that they may flower like the lily... put out fresh shoots...fair and fragrant as the olive tree. Israel will again live in My shadow, [not His presence, as yet] they will grow and flourish.

2 Esdras 1:35-36 I will give your [ peoples now living in the Holy Land] houses to a people yet to come, a people who will trust Me, though they had not known Me, who will do My bidding. I gave them no signs, they have seen no prophets, yet will keep in mind what the prophets taught of old.

Ezekiel 36:8-12 But you, mountains of Israel – put forth your branches and bear fruit, for My people, Israel, for their homecoming is near. I shall settle in you many people- the whole House of Israel, they will increase and be fruitful. [My peoples are those who produce the fruit of the Spirit. Matthew 21:43]

ARE WE OVERDUE FOR A SUPERFLARE? We've all heard of X-class solar flares--powerful explosions on the sun that pepper satellites with energetic particles and trigger great geomagnetic storms. They can be scary. But not as scary as a new category of solar flare being discussed by researchers: the "S-flare"--a solar superflare stronger than X10.
A new paper published in the Journal of Geophysical Research suggests we may be overdue for one.

During the current solar cycle (Solar Cycle 25), Earth has not yet experienced an S-flare. That's a little unusual, according to researchers led by V.M. Velasco Herrera of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. The team looked at 50 years of data from Earth-orbiting satellites. Among 95,627 solar flares, they found 37 Earth-directed S-flares. Every solar cycle since the 1970s has produced one--except Solar Cycle 25.

There are some clues to when the next S-flare might happen. In the 50-year dataset, the researchers found two underlying rhythms: 1.7 years and 7 years, both linked to magneto-Rossby waves inside the sun. When both rhythms swing into their positive phase at the same time, the probability of an S-flare spikes.
According to those rhythms, we're exiting a high-risk S-flare window now: mid-2025 through mid-2026. The next high-risk window opens in early 2027 and lasts about 6 months.

In May 2024, Europe's Solar Orbiter detected two possible S-flares on the farside of the sun. Their intensity (with significant error bars) was X11.1 and X16.5. The sun fired the gun; we just happened to be standing behind the target. Ref: spaceweather,com

A solar flare; a Coronal Mass Ejection, of unprecedented magnitude is what the Lord will use on His terrible Day of fiery wrath, what Isaiah 30:26a plainly describes. It will fulfil literally all the Prophesies about that sudden and shocking Day.

keras, becoming a Christian does not make a person an Israelite.
The name of Israelite means an Overcomer for God, as Jacob was and has meant that ever since then.
In Revelation 2 & 3, we see that in each of the seven Churchs, there are Overcomers; those people who do stand strong in their faith and the Lord will save and protect them on His Day of wrath.
Until people overcome false teachings, renouncing fables and sticking only to Biblical truths, they will have to face the end times in ignorance.

All the Israeli’s are going to get saved? While Christians sit up in heaven!!!!!!! Not likely and opposed to what Jesus said and taught.
This 'predestined irrevocable grace' is a frankly heretical proposition being put forth by the Dispensationalists. It is against the overwhelming body of Scripture, the central theme of the New Testament and why Jesus came.

The claim that God must save all of physical Jewish Israel is usually based on a perceived promise to "remember" Israel, just ignores the fact it was already fulfilled to the Jews in the Messiah's first Advent.
The "remnant" that is prophesied to be saved existed in the early Christian church and are the Messianic Jews of today.

Because Paul has already repeatedly stated there are two "Israels" with an unbelieving Israel that is not "the Israel of God" Galatians 3:29. Therefore; it is consistent for him to be referring to the 'saved' Israel when he writes "all Israel shall be saved."
Conversely, it is not consistent with the New Testament, to think he is saying all the House of Judah will be saved, when there is no such promise, prophecy, or explicit statement anywhere in Scripture. The true facts are; that the modern Israeli nation is in apostasy and actually has laws against Christianity. Their fate is well Prophesied and only a faithful remnant will survive to join with their Christian brethren. Jeremiah 50:4-5

It is through "faith" that salvation is based (verse 20), not a reliance upon physical heritage, as we see in: Romans 9:8They who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God. Matthew 8:12
Clearly stated in Romans 4:15-25 It was not through the Law that Abraham and his descendants were given the Promise of the world being their inheritance, but through righteousness which comes from faith.

What bible verse says that ?

Becoming a Christian does not make a person an Israelite, nor a Jew.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

2Corinthians 5:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

What bible verse says that ?
Genesis 32:28
The name Israel given to Jacob following the episode of his wrestling with the angel (Genesis 32:22–32) is etymologized as composition of אֵל el "god" and the root שָׂרָה śarah "to rule, contend, have power, prevail over":[10] שָׂרִיתָ עִם־אֱלֹהִים (KJV: "a prince hast thou power with God"); alternatively, the el can be read as the subject, for a translation of "El rules/contends/struggles".[11] The word "strive" is often used for the proposed etymon שרה Wikipedia
Christians are the Overcomers for God, therefore His true Israelites.

Why should I have to teach you these truths? Refuting all the false theories and wrong interpretations, does become tiresome.
It is time, very short now: that people should know what God has planned for His peoples and how we will be involved - NOT removed.

Your scripture quotes are irrelevant, as Ephesians 2:11-18 is the definitive scripture of how ethnicity is valueless.

No, that verse is not defining Israelite's as Overcomers for God.

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

Genesis 32:24-29, reflected Jacob's persistence to be blessd by God. It does not imply that "Israel" is an overcomer for God.

The word "Israel" means one who struggles with God.

Becoming a Christian does not make a person an Israelite.

Your statements above simply make no sense.
The lesson for us of Genesis 32:24-20, can only be that Jacob did prevail against a spiritual being; just as we must prevail against Satan and his minions. If we can overcome temptations and keep strong in our faith when things get rough, then we are Gods Israelite people.

Your determination to have Israel on earth while you go to heaven, has corrupted your thinking.
You are wrong because the Jewish State falsely claims the name of Israel. They are of the House of Judah and it is to the Christian peoples that the name of Israelite applies. Proved by the Overcomers in each of the seven Churchs of Revelation

Overcomers in Christ are not call Israelite's, but Christians.

In Genesis 32:24-30, Jacob sought God's blessing.

Overcomers in Christ against Satan and his minions is not to seek their blessing.

No, Galatians 6:14-16 does not say that all Christians are the Israel of God.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In verse 15, Paul is saying that being a believer in Christ Jesus, it does not matter if a person is circumcised or not, because in Christ Jesus we have become a new creature.

In verse 16, Paul is saying to everyone that walk by that rule, acknowledgement - peace be on them. And peace be upon the Israel of God, the Jews who have become Christians. Remember Paul himself was a Jew.

A wrong statement, made to support a fase belief.
Galatians 6:14 All who take this principal for their guide, peace an mercy be upon them, the Israel of God! REBible.

Now perhaps you could comment on what it is the Prophets are warning us to attend to?

The KJV is also inclusive; And as many as walk according to this rule......
as many as walk to; everyone who does keep -
this rule; the Christian belief and principals.

Plainly - the idea that this scripture divides Christians from Jewish Israel, is error and a blatant adding to what is meant.
The only entity called Jewish Israel in the Bible, is Romans 9:27, where only a remnant will survive after the Lords Day of wrath.

The deceived and deluded belief of a Jewish redemption, is just part of the 'rapture to heaven' false teaching.

You are not an Israelite. Also, the post solar event replacement nation that you came up with, you did not give the name of Israel.

I am an overcomer for God. I struggle against spiritual forces and rebut foolish human ideas. And, along with everyone alive today, I have some of Abrahams genetics.

The Holy Land is the land of Israel. The Christian nation to be established after the Land has been cleared and cleansed: Deuteronomy 32:43, will be called Beulah. Isaiah 62:1-5

Your negative, knee jerk responses are very telling for their lack of any proper rebuttal and the absence of a Biblical and viable alternative.

You are claiming that Abraham was the only man alive on earth during his day ? Take a look around. Do you see persons of other races ? Not everyone is descended from Abraham.

Genetic mathematics proves that anyone who lived 3000 years ago, has their genes in everyone today.
But why argue this? Galatians 3:26-29, blows away any ideas of genetic privilege.

A redemption of the Jewish peoples because of their race, is never prophesied to happen. Only their virtual demise because of their continued rejection of Jesus. Isaiah 22:14, Luke 19:27
The more you promote it, the more you are discredited.
