A warning to the nations
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
Assemble and come, all you nations,
And gather together all around.
Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O LORD.
” Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down;
For the winepress is full, The vats overflow For their wickedness is great.”
Joel 3:11-13
A Warning and Proclamation to the Nations
Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. Joel 3:14 Judgment is YOUR Decision
Brothers,
we will read today below the prophecy of prophet Joel. Joel here describes the final gather of the nations in rebellion against God at the Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 16:12-16). There is no place in Israel known as the Valley of Jehosphaphat yet but the name Jehoshaphat means, ‘The Lord Judges.’ It describes God’s place of judgment.. This is a judgment of all nations.
Let’s read together about the Judgement Day:
12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
15 ‘Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.’
16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.
Revelation 16:12-16
In the judgment of the nations Jesus described in Matthew 25:31-46,
the criteria is DISBELIEF in God Jesus and our sins:
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
18 ‘He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.’ John 3:16-21
31 ‘When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘”ome, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.”
37 Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
41 Then He will also say to those on the left hand, “Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.”
44 Then they also will answer Him, saying, “Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?” 45 Then He will answer them, saying, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.” 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Prepare for war! God challenges the nations to prepare for war. We, believers in God Jesus, are fighting in spiritual realm and we have victory in God Jesus. He is the Chief Commander of the God’s Army. We are not slaves anymore and we are NOT captives. We are FREE nation called as the fellowship of believers in God Jesus or CHURCH.
God said:
“Prepare for war! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” Brothers, you who are weak are STRONG in God Jesus. RISE UP children of God to protect your nations from the death and desolation caused by sin and demons.
Brothers, nations will rise AGAINST God and Israel and they are going to fight against God but God will simply laugh at the puny and futile preparations by the nations (Psalm 2). Let’s read what will happen and let’s try to imagine where we will be staying with God and His army or AGAINST God and His angels.
Psalm 2 (New King James Version) Psalm 2 The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom 1 Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
3 ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.’
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 ‘Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.’
7 “I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him
What will be the RESULT of this war? This is what the nations don’t know, but will learn the hard way.
God will sit to judge all the surrounding nations and that is the result of ANY FIGHT against God. Judgment. Brothers, we are judged already now if we do NOT believe in God’s Son Jesus. The result of such Judgment is desolation of our lives and destruction caused by sins. Brothers, ALL who are in sin and who are NOT forgiven by God Jesus have been sinned AGAINST Him and they will be plucked like a ripe harvest and crushed in judgment.
Psalm 2 beautifully expresses the folly of the nations and the triumph of the Lord: Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break their bonds in pieces and cast away their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, and distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.” (Psalm 2:1-6)
Revelation 14:14-20 also uses the image of the winepress of the wrath of God to describe Jesus’ Judgment on the nations at Armageddon. “Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down; for the winepress is full“
‘Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. The sun and moon will grow dark, and the stars will diminish their brightness. The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel. ‘So you shall know that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, and no aliens shall ever pass through her again.’
Prophet Joel looks out upon the Valley of Jehoshaphat at the Battle of Armageddon, and sees multitudes facing their eternal fate – truly, it is a valley of decision, and those who fight against the Lord and His Messiah are in the wrong place in the valley of decision, ultimately fulfilled at the Battle of Armageddon. Brothers, this ‘valley of decision’ is also in our lives when we are making CHOICE to BELIEVE In God or not. There is only ONE criterion to LIVE or to DIE and that is FAITH in God Jesus. If we have it we will SURVIVE if we do NOT have we are DEAD. There are only two options available: to EXIST or to PERISH..to be FORGIVEN or to be CONDEMNED …to be WITH God or to fight AGAINST God…. to be HOLY or to be in BLOOD..to LIVE eternally or to be separated from God by our sins we have been committing. Make DECISION and you will be NOT condemned by God through your faith in God Jesus or make DECISION and your decision will condemn you causing DEATH…spiritual and physical death…spiritual and physical destruction…desolation and abomination. Let’s JUDGE ourselves already now by accepting FAITH in God Jesus and condemning our sinfull life through confession of our sins to God. CRY and REPENT and TURN from your sins to God and YOU, beloved son of God, will be FORGIVEN. You will be restored for a NEW LIFE in YOUR Kingdom of Heaven with YOUR Father and His Son and Ruh Al Qudus. The Lord will be a shelter for His people….personally for YOU and your strength. He will restore YOU- His people- to glory.
Brothers, God’s grace and provision cover the past – every sin. His SALVATION will enter into your home and nations through your FAITH and OBEDIENCE to God Jesus. Just OPEN the door of your heart and LORD Jesus will enter in to DWELL in your heart…in your mind….in your body..in your house..in your temple which is your body.
Brothers, God showed ULTIMATE LOVE and MERCY to us and granted us forgiveness. We have a promise of restoration and redemption. Why should you REJECT God? What is the reason to DIE? What is the reason to insult your Creator? What is the reason to neglect His LAWS? What is the reason to PERISH when we were created to LIVE!?
Brothers, there is enough madness in our life but let’s TURN our world UPSIDE DOWN ….better to say RIGHT SIDE UP to put our life in ORDER under the RULE and LOVE of God Jesus.
Joel 3 (New King James Version) Joel 3 God Judges the Nations 1 “For behold, in those days and at that time,
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
2 I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land.
3 They have cast lots for My people,
Have given a boy as payment for a harlot,
And sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
4 ‘ Indeed, what have you to do with Me,
O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Philistia?
Will you retaliate against Me?
But if you retaliate against Me,
Swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head;
5 Because you have taken My silver and My gold,
And have carried into your temples My prized possessions.
6 Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem
You have sold to the Greeks,
That you may remove them far from their borders.
7 ‘ Behold, I will raise them
Out of the place to which you have sold them,
And will return your retaliation upon your own head.
8 I will sell your sons and your daughters
Into the hand of the people of Judah,
And they will sell them to the Sabeans,
To a people far off;
For the LORD has spoken.’
9 Proclaim this among the nations:
” Prepare for war!
Wake up the mighty men,
Let all the men of war draw near,
Let them come up.
10 Beat your plowshares into swords
And your pruning hooks into spears;
Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’”
11 Assemble and come, all you nations,
And gather together all around.
Cause Your mighty ones to go down there, O LORD.
12 ” Let the nations be wakened, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
13 Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.
Come, go down;
For the winepress is full,
The vats overflow
For their wickedness is great.”
14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision!
For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.
15 The sun and moon will grow dark,
And the stars will diminish their brightness.
16 The LORD also will roar from Zion,
And utter His voice from Jerusalem;
The heavens and earth will shake;
But the LORD will be a shelter for His people,
And the strength of the children of Israel.
17 ‘ So you shall know that I am the LORD your God,
Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem shall be holy,
And no aliens shall ever pass through her again.’
God Blesses His People 18 And it will come to pass in that day
That the mountains shall drip with new wine,
The hills shall flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
A fountain shall flow from the house of the LORD
And water the Valley of Acacias.
19 Egypt shall be a desolation,
And Edom a desolate wilderness,
Because of violence against the people of Judah,
For they have shed innocent blood in their land.
20 But Judah shall abide forever,
And Jerusalem from generation to generation.
21 For I will acquit them of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted;
For the LORD dwells in Zion.”
Be saved by God right now!
Be saved right NOW!
How to LIVE with God Jesus?
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING HOLINESS IN THE FEAR OF GOD.
Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may SERVE GOD ACCEPTABLY WITH REVERENCE AND GODLY FEAR
Fellowship with God means YOU Arabs and Muslims can be called sons of God. You can be forgiven of ALL your sins! You can be adopted by God THROUGH your Faith in His Son Jesus. Can you call Jesus the Son of God? Is He God in your life? Have you given Him absolute control of your life and future?If not, do is right NOW!
Pray now to the LORD and accept His forgiveness of all your sins through FAITH in His Son – God Jesus Christ! Pray God right now And be saved!
God is bringing Judgement. Return of the Lord Jesus and His Judgement day should make difference in our behavior. Live your best in purity. Be excited about meeting with the Lord. You should anxiously await with joyful anticipation of the Lord’s return. If your hearts is filled with anticipation, excitement and joy, it indicates that you are walking with the Lord. If you are NOT sure and confident that if you would die today you would go to Heaven, it means you need to get right with God. If you never said- YES- to Jesus, do it today! If you have fallen away from the Lord, come back to Him today.
We will close with prayers: Father, we believe that Jesus is coming again. We believe we need to be ready. And Lord I am praying about any person who is reading my message and if they dont have confidence that they are ready for Your return, help them to come to You today and get right with You now. Amen.
First, recognise brother, that you are sinner. Be sorry for your sin. And ask God to forgive you right now. The way as we do that TROUGH PRAYER. That’s how we communicate with God.I’d like to lead you in prayer. If you want Christ to forgive your sins. If you want to know that when you will die you will go to Heaven then pray this prayer with me right now:
God, I know I am a sinner. And I am sorry for what I have done. And I turn from my sin now and ask You to forgive me. Thank You that Your Son Jesus Christ died on the cross and shed His blood for me. Be my Savior and my Lord. And be my friend. I want to follow You from this day forward. Fill me with Your Spirit. And help me to be Your disciple. Thank You for accepting me. Thank You for forgiving me. Thank You that I am now YOURS. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
If you sincerely repented of all of your sins, confessed them to God and asked Him to forgive you then WELCOME to the family of God. Now you are adopted by God. Now you became His son and His inheritance. His angels have written your name in the Book of Life. And you have the BRIGHT FUTURE.
God Jesus said:
“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word
and believes him
who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned;
he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24
Walk with God and live eternally Arab nation! Amen.
Rev. 4:8 “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.”
Brothers, God Jesus is COMING BACK to us to the earth. Be prepared to LIVE with Him and not to die without Him! Repent and make your ways straight. To make your ways straight, then, please the Lord in all you do by BELIEVING in His Son Jesus Christ.
Turn away from a life of sin to a life of righteousness (Rom. 12:21).
This is the way of peace (Luke 1:79).
It is also the way to prosperity, blessings, answered prayer, joy and every good thing (Prov. 13:21; 1 John 3:22; Heb. 13:21).
If you prayed this simple prayer above or if you need more information orstill have questions about who Jesus is or if you want to believe in God Jesus then please email me and contact me (contacts are below) because we should be together. God called us as believers in Him or CHURCH.

Solid Rock or Sinking Sand Jesus you have been with me totally
and there are times I know I should
not have survived–but I did.
Not only did I survive You saw to it
that I did get the abundant life too.
But like those who complained so
they wandered for 40 years in the
desert wilderness.
I could have wandered in the desert
of life as well but You had different
plans for me. You lovingly created
good out of evil for You care so
much for us.
Besides we can not do your will
if we are in the desert. Thank
you for scooping me out and
placing me on THE ROCK. The
solid rock and that is Jesus!!
“On the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand”
(On a Solid Rock I Stand-hymn)
Your brilliance radiates
this day and forever more
Amen!
Break these chains; Open this gate!
O Lord,
Break the chains and open the gates for Your children who are seeking after what You have ordained for them!
Let them be freed, O Lord, from the attacks of the enemy, breaking the bonds which are being used to deny them their blessings. I’m so weary of seeing my brothers and sisters being denied the things they’re believing for, Lord God, and I know all good gifts come from You, so break the back of the enemy that he may be torn down and his influence utterly destroyed!!!
Help Your people have strengthened faith, and send more angels to stand beside them, Lord. Help us all to stay the course, with determination and patience, knowing that You hear us and want only the best for us, and that You *will* uphold us in every good thing.
Remember Your Children, O God! Praise and glory unto the Lord God Almighty, forever and ever!
In Christ Jesus,
Amen and Amen!
OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN
May your will be done in our lives.Grant us peace in our days.Amen.
Jabez
Dear Jesus, I am really going through it! And I am determined to pray like David prayed and turn in to you with praise and worship from my heart. I choose to turn into this storm and not run away from it!! I trim my sails and set my ship into the wind for battle!! No weapon!! formed against me will prosper…and every tongue that rises aginst me in judgment…I will condemn…this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord!! and I am your servant Lord…not a perfect one…but I am yours.
Bless me indeed and enlarge my territories…that your hand would be with me….that you would keep me from evil that it would not grieve me!!! For the weapons of my warfare are not carnal…but mighty!!! in God to the pulling down of strongholds!!!I am now casting Down every vain imagination and every high thing that exalt itself above the knowledge of God…taking every thought into captivity to the obedience of Jesus!! And I am blessed coming in and going out…above and not beneath…and have a right to all spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus. I declare it!!! and enter into your presence Boldly Lord!!! By the Blood of Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Prayer for Lady Journalist
If so led by the Spirit I ask you to join me in prayer for the American woman journalist who suffered severe beating and sexual assault in Cairo last Friday night.
In the midst of celebration and joy in that city, a victory for the people of Egypt, that woman, who was there covering the events, was brutally and savagely attacked and violated.
Our prayers go out to her, her family, and all concerned with this appalling crime.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you. May the Lord grant you His peace.
May this woman, her family, and all who’s hearts break for victims of these crimes, know Your peace. The peace that passes all understanding.
When Shiloh come- The Bringer of Peace- there will be Peace of Earth.
Til then, all who love the Lord say- Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
From my Prayer Life Journal
I heard a voice “Come Follow” That was all.
Things of this world grow dim;My soul went after
Him. I arose and followed “That was all.”
Shut in with God in a secret place
There in His presence, beholding His face,
Finding more power to run the race.
OH, I LONG TO BE SHUT IN WITH GOD!
DEAREST FATHER, there is so much to be thankful for and to lift my voice in adoration and praise. I hear the morning sea gulls searching for breakfast–as I feel rejuvenated after my little talk with you.You are my salvation, my strength and I rejoice and exalt your Holy name. song for today.,I leave my burdens there at your feet..as I rejoice and exalt your mighty name.
