SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The United States has deployed the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson to waters near the Korean Peninsula amid rising military tensions over North Korea. The Japanese government, which has asked the United States to provide advance consultation if it decides to launch military action against North Korea, has ramped up preparations for unexpected situations.

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.” Matthew 24:6 (KJV)

The Japanese government anticipates the possibility of a joint response with the United States should a contingency arise.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stressed on Wednesday that the region is becoming increasingly tense. “U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that all options are on the table. It’s a fact tensions are rising,” he said at the Prime Minister’s Office after receiving a written proposal calling for tougher sanctions on North Korea from the Liberal Democratic Party’s Eriko Yamatani, chief of the headquarters for the abduction issue.

“If an unexpected situation occurs, we’ll ask the United States to cooperate in rescuing the abduction victims,” Abe added.

Japan prepares for potential North Korea attack:

The Trump administration is reviewing U.S. policy toward North Korea and has not ruled out military options, including a preemptive strike. Tensions in the region have risen sharply since the United States carried out a missile attack on Syria on April 6.

During a series of meetings between Japanese and U.S. officials, the Japanese side asked for advance consultation regarding any U.S. military action against North Korea. The U.S. side is said to have responded positively to the request. This is because Japan would need to take appropriate precautions given that, as an ally of Washington, it could be a target for retaliation should the U.S. military attack North Korea.

It is expected that a North Korean attack on Japan would involve ballistic missiles. The Japanese government has been bolstering defensive measures against ballistic missiles, including making permanent in August 2016 an order to the Self-Defense Forces to intercept and destroy incoming missiles.

57,000 Japanese would need rescuing

A difficult issue that would emerge in a contingency on the Korean Peninsula is the rescue and protection of an estimated 57,000 Japanese, including tourists, in South Korea. The government started compiling an evacuation plan in the 1990s and has updated and changed it several times. The government plans to convene a meeting of the four ministers who form the National Security Council to review the strategy for dealing with this issue at an early date.

North Korea may be preparing 6th nuclear test:

Security legislation that came into force in March 2016 newly allows the SDF to take steps to protect, rescue and transport Japanese overseas. The Japanese government plans to use government-chartered aircraft and SDF transport vessels for such evacuations, which would be conducted in cooperation with the U.S. military.

“South Korea’s allergy toward the SDF is still strong, so there has not been much progress regarding concrete talks between the Japanese and South Korean governments,” a senior Defense Ministry official told The Yomiuri Shimbun.

The government must also figure out how to cope with the huge number of refugees expected to descend on Japan from the Korean Peninsula. They would need to be temporarily accommodated, but it also is possible that North Korean agents would slip into Japan with the intention of striking nuclear power plants, heavily populated areas and other targets.

Implementing immigration control procedures for those refugees would not be easy.

The SDF is supposed to jointly respond with U.S. forces according to how a contingency on the Korean Peninsula would develop. The Guidelines for Japan-U.S. Defense Cooperation that were revised in April 2015 stipulate the formulation and updating of a joint operation plan.

The U.S. military asked the SDF to provide support during the North Korean nuclear crisis (see below) from 1993 to 1994, such as escorting ships and conducting minesweeping operations. At that time, Japan did not have emergency legislation such as the Law on Response to Armed Attack Situations, and the exercise of the right of collective self-defense was not permitted. Japan had no choice but to refuse the request, according to a former Ground Self-Defense Force general.

However, a senior Defense Ministry official emphasized the difference made by the security legislation, which permit the limited exercise of the right of collective self-defense: “There has been progress regarding Japan-U.S. coordination for role sharing.”

The most realistic SDF activity would be logistics support for the U.S. military. The SDF is permitted to supply ammunition to U.S. forces and refuel ready-to-fly fighter jets, among other measures, in situations that do not constitute an armed attack but are recognized as having an important influence on Japan’s security and safety.

In a situation that could result in Japan sustaining damage equal in seriousness to a direct attack, the government would recognize that the nation’s survival is under threat and permit the use of force by the SDF. Using the right of collective self-defense, it would become possible for the SDF to defend U.S. ships by counterattacking enemies that attacked them, based on the SDF mobilization order. The SDF could also conduct other operations, including minesweeping in the open sea to remove mines laid by North Korea.

Under such a situation, the government would simultaneously recognize that Japan is at imminent risk of coming under attack while likely starting preparations based on the Civil Protection Law, such as evacuating residents.

In 1993, North Korea was suspected of conducting a nuclear development program but refused a special inspection by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). North Korea then announced its withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), leading the United States to consider military action. In 1994, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter visited North Korea and struck an agreement with then leader Kim Il Sung that allowed the IAEA to continuously monitor North Korea’s nuclear facilities. A crisis was averted and the U.S.-North Korean Agreed Framework was concluded, under which the United States and other countries promised to offer light-water reactors — which are difficult to convert for nuclear weapons purposes — to North Korea in return for a freezing of its nuclear facilities. source

Infamous Mafia Hitman And Contract Killer Sammy ‘The Bull’ Gravano Believes The Gospel And Gets Saved, Born Again And Water Baptized

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Sammy Gravano was in and out of prison long before Bibles Behind Bars was raised up, but every day we give King James Bibles to inmates just like he was

When I first watched the video of Sammy “The Bull” Gravano getting baptized, it brought tears to my eyes and the look on his face absolutely genuine and right in line with what you’d expect to see in a brand-new baby Christian who just got saved. Then I went back to listen to the entire story, and my heart sank a little as I heard Gravano talking about his testimony which, the longer I listened to it, the shakier it got. Then, at 13:02 minutes into the video, paydirt, Sammy said he needed forgiveness and redemption (that’s it!) for the deeds done in his life, and that he acknowledged that Jesus Christ (That’s it again!) was the only place to get it. Praise the Lord, Sammy The Bull got saved! This is one of the reasons why Bibles Behind Bars is so very important in these last days.

“And I persecuted this way unto the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.” Acts 22:4 (KJB)

Sammy Gravano was in and out of prison long before Bibles Behind Bars was raised up by the Lord, but hardened criminal inmates just like Gravano are behind bars right now, and if Sammy The Bull can get saved, they can too. To date, we have record of nearly 700 inmates who have gotten saved by believing the gospel and given a Bible from Bibles Behind Bars. 700! And many of them are men just as wicked and as vile as Gravano, just as wicked and vile as you and I were when we came to the Lord to get saved. Right now, the Carson City Correctional Center in Michigan is surrounded by double fences with razor-ribbon wire and two gun towers. Electronic detection systems and patrol vehicles are also utilized to maintain perimeter security. And guess what? Chaplain Lonny there has reached out and asked us for Bibles to give to as many of their 2,300 inmates as we are able to provide. The total for that many Bibles is $8,257.00 if you were wondering. Christian, if we’re not working to see people get saved, then why are we here?

Come help us to send King James Bibles, books and Christian literature to every jail and prison that asks us, and pray the Lord that many more like Sammy The Bull will get saved.

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between.

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq Says He Is The Part-Muslim And Part-Jewish Leader That The Bible Calls The Antichrist

Today we introduce you to Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq, the man who says he is the biblical fulfillment of who the Bible says is the Antichrist

According to his web site bio, “Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq (From Him is Peace) is the long awaited Savior of Mankind, the promised Mahdi and Qaim prophesied to come from the narrations of Mohammed and the Family of Mohammed (From Them is Peace). He is the son of Imam Ahmed al-Hassan (From Him is Peace) and the grandson of  Imam Mohammed ibn Al-Hassan Al-Askari, Al-Mahdi in the soul world.” If this were to be true, Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq would be the biblical Antichrist. That’s the memo.

“And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men.” Micah 5:5 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, a strange thing is going on since the death of the Roman pontifex maximus Francis, it’s like a lid was lifted on the underworld, in the spirit realm, and all sorts of end times devils are bubbling to the surface. Is Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq the biblical Antichrist? Highly likely not, but, that’s not to say that he’s not here to play a part in this ongoing last days drama. One thing is for sure, he’s done a little homework and understands, from the Bible, who and what the actual Antichrist is, and for that reason deserves to come on the NTEB radar. Christian, prophecy is unfolding and fulfilling at such a rapid rate that it’s impossible, without a King James Bible, to keep up with what’s going on, going down and coming up. On this episode, prepare to have your mind blown as we introduce you to Abdullah Hashem Aba Al-Sadiq. Also, updates from Rome ahead of the funeral service of Pope Francis set for Saturday.

Bryant Park Baptist Church Has Been In Operation Since 1856, And Last Week Their Pastor Reached Out To Bibles Behind Bars With An Amazing Blessing

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Pastor Matt and Bryant Pond Baptist Church in Maine have joined with us at Bibles Behind Bars to help get God’s preserved word out in these last days

We never know where support for Bibles Behind Bars is going to come from next, all we know is that the Lord continues to touch hearts to help us carry out the mission of sending King James Bibles into every jail and prison in America. To date, over 15,000 people have been raised up to stand with us in this end times fight, and we’re so very grateful for that. Today I want to tell you about a tiny church in southern Maine with a pastor and congregation who joined NTEB this month with an unexpected blessing.

“And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.” Acts 16:9 (KJB)

Pastor Matt reached out to us and said “Good afternoon brother Grider. My church (Bryant Pond Baptist Church in Bryant Pond, Maine) is voting on sending you the full amount to buy 500 King James Bibles. I believe the vote will come in unanimous. We were especially touched that Windham, Maine was reaching out to Bibles Behind Bars. God bless you and the work you are doing for the Lord. I will keep you updated.” A week later a check arrived for the full amount needed for the Bibles, $1,795.00, with a note that said in part “We are a small church, average 30 per week, but we have a heart for anybody hungry for the truth of the King James Bible. Please use this money wherever needed.” For the past 5 years, we have witnessed miracle after miracle just like that one, giving us the necessary resources we need to continue to send out free King James Bibles and literature in the hundreds of thousands. Monday, Pastor Daniel at the Maine Correctional Center wrote to thanks us for the Bibles and books that had just been delivered to his facility. This is how God works in these last days to get His preserved word out to the darkest places, and we invite you to come and help us by becoming a part of the Bibles Behind Bars miracle. We need your help to send Bibles to Carson City Correctional in Michigan.
