The Psalms are a veritable treasure trove of information and insight into God and His ways. Psalm 83 is no exception. In fact it is prophetic in nature and shows that a confederation of Middle Eastern countries are still to come together, along with the Beast Power, against the nation of Israel in the end time.

Guarding Others Against the Unpardonable Sin
In going through the messages on the Unpardonable Sin I was struck by a certain theme I noticed running throughout most of the scriptures dealing with the Unpardonable Sin.
Merkel Warns EU Against Kneejerk Reaction
German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday warned EU member states against drawing hasty conclusions about Britain’s decision to quit the bloc, as that risked further splitting Europe.
“We take note of the British people’s decision with regret. There is no doubt that this is a blow to Europe and to the European unification process,” she said.
But “what the consequences of this would be… would depend on whether we — the other 27 member states of the EU — prove to be willing and able to not draw quick and simple conclusions from the referendum in Great Britain, which would only further divide Europe,” said Merkel.
Member states should “calmly and prudently analyse and evaluate the situation, before making the right decisions together,” said Merkel, who will host talks with French President Francois Hollande, Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and European Council president Donald Tusk in Berlin on Monday.
How Long was Jesus in the Grave?
This is crucial to understand because many believe that Christ was only dead and buried in the grave for about 36 hours (Friday night to Sunday morning) which denies that He was who He said He was!
Saudi Land Purchases Fuel Debate Over US Water Rights
Saudi Arabia’s largest dairy company will soon be unable to farm alfalfa in its own parched country to feed its 170,000 cows. So it’s turning to an unlikely place to grow the water-chugging crop — the drought-stricken American Southwest.
Almarai Co. bought land in January that roughly doubled its holdings in California’s Palo Verde Valley, an area that enjoys first dibs on water from the Colorado River. The company also acquired a large tract near Vicksburg, Arizona, becoming a powerful economic force in a region that has fewer well-pumping restrictions than other parts of the state.
The purchases totaling about 14,000 acres enable the Saudis to take advantage of farm-friendly U.S. water laws.
“We’ve got them coming, moving in here and using our natural resources up. Why isn’t anyone paying attention to the ground we live on?” she said.
Christopher Thornberg, an economist at the University of California at Riverside, called alfalfa farms a “shocking waste of a resource” and suggested California consider seizing land under eminent domain.
“At some point in time,” he said, “we have to face the fact that the state cannot continue to prosper under the current circumstances.”

France: Exodus of 10,000 Millionaires Amid Rising Muslim Tensions
Rising tensions in France, especially in Paris following a series of Islamist terrorist attacks in 2015, have spurred an exodus of its super-wealthy citizens, a new report on migration trends of millionaires and high-net worth individuals across the world reveals. The report warns that other European countries, including the UK, Belgium, Germany and Sweden “where religious tensions are starting to emerge”, will also see similar trends.
According to the report, Millionaire migration in 2015, France topped the list of countries with maximum millionaire outflows as it lost 10,000 millionaires, or 3% of its millionaire population. Among the cities that saw maximum millionaire outflow, Paris, was at the top – losing about 6% of its millionaire population or 7,000 millionaires in 2015 to the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and Israel.
“The large outflow of millionaires from France is notable – France is being heavily impacted by rising religious tensions between Christians and Muslims, especially in urban areas. We expect that millionaire migration away from France will accelerate over the next decade as these tensions escalate,” the report warns.

EU Planning to Threaten “Action” Against Israeli Settlements
At the time of the end, the King of the North, the Beast, will occupy the Holy Land (Daniel 11:45). Here we see that there is no love loss between the two right now as the EU continues its pro-Palestinian demands and Israel ignores them.
“The EU will continue to closely monitor developments … and will consider further action in order to protect the viability of the two-state solution, which is constantly eroded by new facts on the ground,” the draft statement says.
It links Palestinian unrest to lack of faith in peace talks. “Only the reestablishment of a political horizon and the resumption of dialogue can stop the violence,” it says.
Israel has, since the last EU statement on the conflict, in July 2015, advanced 2,410 new housing units.

144,000 of Revelation 7
Scripture shows:
- The 144,000 will be sealed after the Great Tribulation.
- So none of the 144,000 have been sealed at this point in time.
- Because they are sealed they will not have to go through the Day of the Lord.
- The 144,000 are physical Israelites that will be alive at this time
- 12,000 of each tribe of Israel will be sealed [Except Dan; 2 for Joseph]
- Since the 144000 will be sealed after the Great Tribulation they will not be afforded a place of safety and will have to go through the Great Tribulation.
