Roy’s Blog: “No One Will Come”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7831

Ezekiel 38:18,23 (NASB) “‘It will come about on that day when Gog comes against the land of Israel,’ says the Lord God, ‘that My fury will mount up in My anger.'(v23) ‘I will magnify Myself, sanctify Myself, and make Myself known in the sight of many nations; and they will know that I am the Lord.'”

Iran-the Middle East’s number one supporter of terrorism-has had their permanent representative to the United Nations General Assembly in New York elected to be Vice-President of the 78th session of the General Assembly.

The communist nation of North Korea-a regime notorious for starving its own people and other horrible actions while investing heavily in nuclear weapons-has been elected to the Executive Board of the WHO (World Health Organization).

Both of these countries hate America, and they hate Israel. Both of these organizations have been given power over all nations. Don’t see a problem here?

The Biden Administration (Jill Biden), went on a trip to the Middle East and North Africa and visited Egypt, Morocco, and Portugal, leaving out Israel-the region’s only democratic nation. She attended the wedding of the Crown Prince of Jordan, an unelected monarch, whose country is a majority Palestinian.

What do these three instances have in common? The further isolation of Israel in the world (including the US). Israel’s wealth will continue to grow making them even more of a target for other countries to go after. But, with this growing isolation, NO ONE WILL COME to her aid. Not even her long-time ally America. But! God will! In a most spectacular way.

Roy’s Blog: “Shifting Sands”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7825

I Corinthians 9:26 (NASB) “I run in such a way as not without aim; I box in such a way as not beating the air.”

That is a strange verse, but it is one that should be our standard. Quit beating the air with useless words, ranting at what the world is coming to. Instead, use your strength to accomplish your goals-accomplish the plan God has for your life. Run your race, even though it sometimes feels like you are running through shifting sands. Aim for the end goal. Time is short.

I remember being on the caprock in West Texas watching a storm heading our way. I knew there would be rain and possibly hail, but during the flashes of lightning, I could also see multiple tornadoes spinning our way. That is the way I see our world today. In the midst of America having a broken administration, one that has lost sight of the goals of America, I see a storm coming.

• Last weekend, Russia started taking another 3000 tanks out of storage, but not all are going to Ukraine.

• There is a Russian report that the United States is trying to make a condition of normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia on Israel’s agreement to a nuclear-capable Iran.

• At the beginning of the week, the UAE (United Arab Emirates) announced that it is leaving the naval coalition led by the US in the Arabian Sea. It turns out that Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman are forming a naval alliance led by…CHINA!

• Leaked classified intelligence confirms Iran and others are building stronger armor-piercing roadside bombs with the specific goal of killing US troops.

• And one question– Why are so many military-aged Chinese men coming across our southern border, each one paying smugglers as much as $35,000 to get them into Texas?

Truly a storm is coming our way!

Roy’s Blog: “Nearing the Third Day”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7821

Luke 21:36 (NASB) “But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place and to stand before the Son of Man.”

“To stand before the Son of Man”! Does that scare you? Excite you? Or both? For two thousand years people have been watching and waiting for Christ’s return. I know. That is a long time but remember 2 Peter 3:8, “With the Lord, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day.” That means it hasn’t been two whole days from God’s viewpoint yet.

In Hosea 6:2, it says, “He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, that we may live before Him.” This is referring to the quickness of healing and restoration of Israel from the “dry bones” of Ezekiel 37.

We are nearing that “third day” of the prophecy being fulfilled. I am convinced that these are the “last days”. If you have read your Bible, the signs are all there. There is not a “sign” left to be fulfilled before the “Rapture”. It could come at any time. The Rapture comes before the second coming of Christ, and the signs of His second coming are everywhere I look.

Things are shaping up, prophecies have been fulfilled, and signs of the last days are here just as God said they would be. Hallelujah! Be ready!

Roy’s Blog: “What’s the Plan?”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7816

Proverbs 19:21 (NASB) “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but the counsel of the Lord will stand.”

Usually, our plans for the next day are thought out, discussed, and decided on before we go to bed the night before. Some people make out a list of all the things they need to accomplish. However, the day and the plans often don’t go as we intended. God’s plan may look very different from ours.

Do you remember the oft-spoken words of President Donald Trump about the development of the “CoVid” vaccine? He said it was done at “warp speed”. Of course, that’s what he was being told by his “so-called” advisors. And that was the plan.

But, now we are learning that Pfizer, who swiftly jumped in to say they could have it ready in no time, had patented the spike protein for a coronavirus vaccine over thirty years ago. It has been reported, “In 1966, the very first COV coronavirus model was used as a transatlantic USA/UK biological experiment in human manipulation.” The common cold (which is in the category of coronaviruses) was purposely weaponized.

It is also a fact that the EMA (European Medicine Agency) has finally admitted that Covid-19 vaccinations “can have an adverse effect on female fertility.” The admission is followed by confidential Pfizer documents revealing that the transfer of the Covid-19 vaccine is possible by skin-to-skin contact and/or breathing the same air as a vaccinated person, and can lead to menstrual cycle disruption in some women and miscarriage among pregnant women. Part of a plan?

All part of the antichrist’s plan to lead to the “New World Order”.

But, don’t worry. Rejoice! God has other plans for His people!

Roy’s Blog: “Turkey-The Big Deal”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7812

Ezekiel 38:3-6 (NASB) “And say, ‘Thus says the Lord God, “Behold I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out and all your army, horses, and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them yielding swords; Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer with all its troops; Beth-Togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops–many people with you.'”

Unlike America or the United States, Turkey is mentioned many times in Biblical prophecy. It has a place in the end times. But, at the moment, few are taking any notice of Turkey and what is happening there.

Turkey’s President, Erdogan has just won reelection for five more years after already serving for twenty years. This has prophetic implications. Why? Who was the first to call and congratulate Erdogan’s victory? Russia and Iran, of course! They consider Turkey a big deal and we should as well.

• Turkey has a population of 85 million with the largest army in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization).

• Turkey is located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

• Turkey is important in Biblical prophecy. Read what the apostles, Paul and John, wrote in the epistles and the Book of Revelation.

• What’s more, Turkey plays a key role in the “last days”.

Today, modern Turkey is in serious trouble. Its President, Erdogan, is a dangerous man. Last year Erdogan’s policies caused inflation in Turkey to hit 85%! But skyrocketing inflation is only part of the economic crisis there. Over the last five years, the value of the Turkish lira (their currency) has plunged a whopping 77% and is still dropping.

When you add in the personal suffering and economic losses caused by the recent series of earthquakes that claimed more than 50,000 lives in Turkey and Syria, you begin to see how desperate Turkey’s situation is. Erdogan’s actions keep adding more pain and suffering.

Why is this important? Erdogan’s aim, his dream, is to restore the “Ottoman Empire” . It was historically made up of much of Southeast Europe, Western Asia, and Northern Africa. And…he wants to be TOP DOG! He will look to anyone (Russia or Iran) that he thinks will help accomplish his goal.

Pay attention…biblical prophecy is happening, all around us, every day.

Roy’s Blog: “It’s Close”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7808

Romans 8:18 (NASB) “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”

The brain chip company Neuralink (owned by Elon Musk) announced that the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its product for human trials. Musk announced that “Recruitment is not yet open for clinical trials.” I am sure there will be no shortage of applicants for those trials.

In 2022, the New York-based tech company Synchron financed by millionaires Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, already implanted its first mind-reading device into a patient in the US in a clinical trial. We are close to the “elitist’s” goal of being able to control every person on Earth.

The WHO (World Health Organization) has set its sights on establishing “a platform of global governance through healthcare”. The WHO would assume authority to make major decisions about health care, health threats, or health “emergencies” and demand that all nations submit to its decisions and rulings. This includes lockdowns, boycotts, medical treatment such as vaccinations, and more. They would have “ultimate authority” (without argument or recourse) over ANYTHING they deemed as a health emergency…even the environment. It would be in the hands of the Director General of the WHO (most likely a leader of a foreign country that hates America).

They are following a dual process to this all-consuming governance:

• One is through a global pandemic treaty they are calling an “accord” so that it doesn’t need to be voted on by our Congress.

• And second, through a package of about 300 amendments to international health rules.

Why is this important? It shows just how CLOSE we are to the final fulfilling of prophecy and how CLOSE we are to the “Rapture”!

Roy’s Blog: “Barging Ahead”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7804

Revelation 6:2 (NASB) “I looked, and behold a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.”

Thousands of years ago the Bible described our day and time. God’s prophecies are playing out in our generation on an increasing scale. Things I never thought I would see are happening in America and the rest of the world. We are barging ahead with things we know are wrong for us. Barging ahead with the promotion of sinful acts and ideas.

Revelation 13 talks about an economic system based on the “Mark of the Beast”. This system would require constant surveillance of every transaction of every person in the world. There aren’t enough enforcers anywhere to police humanity at that level. What could make it possible? Artificial Intelligence (AI)!

Even with many scientists, including Elon Musk, warning against proceeding with AI, we are barging ahead. AI has been developed far enough to take over the task of keeping constant tabs on each and every person in the world. And, they can go beyond their programming as they learn. That’s really scary.

All that is only the tip of the iceberg of the prophecies being played out. The world cries out for a “savior” to unite the world into a “Golden Age” here on Earth, and they are being prepared to accept that false “savior”, the antichrist.

The world has a Savior, God’s Son, Jesus Christ. But He is being rejected by the masses. Just as He was in the days of Noah.

But, don’t despair or be discouraged. Hold fast to the Lord. Titus 2:13 “Looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.” That prophecy will also be fulfilled just as the Bible states.

Roy’s Blog: “The Bridge”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7799

I Timothy 2:5 (NASB) “For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”

It’s hard to believe this is happening in America, but it is. “The Media Research Center”, a conservative watchdog group has obtained documents through the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) showing that the DHS’s (Department of Human Services) program meant to fight terrorism is funding a group whose work explicitly targets Christians, conservatives, and Republican organizations using federal taxpayer dollars.

Think about that. The Biden administration lumps Christians, conservatives, and Republicans into the same category as Nazis and terrorists in the new DHS Antiterrorism Program. They have put targets on the backs of half of America and we are paying for it through our tax dollars! Is this how Biden brings America “closer together”?

Then you look at what the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is doing. They approved Elon Musk’s “Neuralink” in the race to begin microchipping humans. The chip will eventually lead to the “Mark of the Beast”. It will be the “bridge” between the two to get people ready to accept the mark.

We are in the final stages of preparation that will transform our world from a Christian conservative mindset into acceptance of a demonically led “New World Order”. And our present administration is leading the way across that bridge.

Jesus Christ is our “BRIDGE”, our pathway into His arms. He is our mediator and friend. He loves us…the world does not.

Roy’s Blog: “Midnight Cry”

https://bphowlett.wrrdpress.com/?p=7795

Matthew 25:6,13 (KJV) “And at midnight there was a cry made, ‘Behold the Bridegroom cometh, go ye out to meet Him.'” (v13) “Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh.”

Every day we see or hear things that point to the nearness of that “Midnight Cry” that heralds the second coming of Jesus Christ. The gospel group “Gold City” recorded a song called “The Midnight Cry” many years ago. One verse in it states, “I can almost hear the trumpet as Gabriel sounds the call.”

So many prophetic answers are being given today. Things we couldn’t understand just a few years ago are being made clear. It’s to the point that I can almost hear that “midnight cry”, that trumpet sound when the Bride of Christ will rise!

Some of what’s happening that point us to the last days:

• It has been reported by “Natural News” that John Kerry, the Biden administration’s “Special Presidential Envoy for Climate” told an audience of the Department of Agriculture’s “AIM for Climate” summit, “We can’t get to net zero, we won’t get this job done, unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution.” In other more straightforward words-Farmers need to stop growing food in order to achieve “net zero carbon emissions”. For what purpose? Their intent is to reduce the world’s population in the name of “saving the planet”. Who will benefit from it?

• Around the world in their all-consuming objective to “fight climate change”, they are closing down power plants, lowering food production, and pushing abortion and assisted euthanasia (death) on every front to lower the population and “save” the planet.

• How much will they lower the temperature to “save the planet”? Half (.05) of one degree by 2050! Even that is unproven. They are going to decimate our world for an unproven theory dreamed up by the likes of John Kerry (who has made millions of dollars from his involvement) and other “elitists”.

Surely the “Midnight Cry” is not far off.

Roy’s Blog: “Walk In Step”

https://bphowlett.wordpress.com/?p=7790

Luke 5:11 “When they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed Him.”

These men, just plain fishermen trying to make a living for their families, made a life-changing decision. They met, believed in, and immediately made the decision to follow Jesus. What seemed important and right hours before were no longer important or valuable to them. Their goals, dreams, and desires changed with that one choice. They were called on a mission by the Lord.

They quickly fell in step with their Savior. Easy? Not hardly. But they did it and at times paid great prices for doing so. How do you walk in step with God?

• You make yourself available for a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. These men went where Jesus went. Ate what Jesus ate and saw the miracles Jesus performed. Every day.

• Have a hunger for God. These early disciples (and apostles) didn’t have a degree in the Bible. They didn’t even have a (physical) Bible. But they had a hunger for God and for His words that He spoke.

• You change priorities. Everything in Peter’s fishing business (and it was quite large with several boats) changed on that one trip. Peter recognized Jesus for who He was (the promised Messiah) and he obeyed that call. He left everything behind.

• Recognize Jesus for who He is, the Son of God, the Savior of fallen mankind. And listen to Him. How? Jesus said (paraphrased), “Seek Me with your whole heart and You will find Me.” Matthew 7:7a.

Even with the resources we have today, the many Bibles available, the programs, and the churches on every corner, there are so many children that have never heard of Jesus, and so many adults that don’t know who Jesus is or what He came to provide for them-eternal life. Be a modern-day disciple, follow Jesus, and tell others about the wonderful gift given to you by the blood of that Savior.
