Does Anyone Believe in the End of the World Anymore?
With all the hype in the air over the Mayan 2012 dooms day calendar, Reuters today posted a global poll of 16,262 “earthly inhabitants” from many countries and asked the question, "Whether they think it will come to an end through the hands of God, or a natural disaster or a political event, whatever the reason, one in seven thinks the end of the world is coming,"
What they found was that the OVERWHELMING majority DID NOT believe that we are at the time of the end! That statistic absolutely amazes me and reveals to me how true the words of Jesus was about the Last Days (Matt. 24:33, 25:13, 1 Thess. 5:1-4, 2 Peter 3:10, Rev. 3:3, 16:15)! This poll brings to light and adds to the overwhelming validity of Holy Scripture. Jesus himself gave many great warnings to this reality of our day and stated for all, "Behold, I come as a thief in the night" (Rev. 16:15)!
This poll brings to light and adds to the overwhelming validity of Holy Scripture. Jesus himself gave many great warnings to this reality of our day and stated for all, "Behold, I come as a thief in the night"!
People who live outside the reality of biblical truth are generally superstitious about and dreadfully fearful of the King of Fears (i.e., Death – Heb. 2:14-15). Deep in their heart of hearts the world fully KNOWS that they WILL give a full account to Almighty God in the Day of Judgment no matter what race, gender, color, people, society, culture, back ground, political or religious ideology, social status, nation and tongue they come from (Ez. 18:20, Acts. 10:34, Col. 3:25, Rev. 20:11-15). Almighty God’s word clearly testifies and states that the very imprint or “TM” of the Creator is placed in their hearts testifying to ALL that they ARE Almighty God’s creation and will give a full and final account to Him in that Day (Ezek.18:4, Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 20:11-15).
The world’s subjective global optimistic thinking, which leaves out and abandons ETERNITY’S REALITY, is that “time” will go on FOREVER and this world will never cease (2 Peter 3:2-9, Rev, 18:7). The world’s global inhabitants - because they are unregenerate, rebellious toward RIGHTEOUSNESS, spiritually dead, more than willing to live in full unbelief, dominated by a fallen nature and under the fallen spiritual despot of the world (i.e., Lucifer) are oblivious that the Day of the Lordis at hand (Rom. 1:18-32, Rom 3, 2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2;2-3, 6:12)! The world - in their lawless spiritually drunken estate are consciously oblivious to the reality that they are marching and heading to the final showdown with their Creator at the Battle of Armageddon (Psalm 2, 2 Thess. 2:8-12, Rev. 16:13-16,17:2, 19:11-21).
The world - in their lawless spiritually drunken estate are consciously oblivious to the reality that they are marching and heading to the final showdown with their Creator at the Battle of Armageddon.
My dear friends, just look outside the window from even an objective worldly perspective and what do you see? The world today is on the very brink of global disaster! With all of the technological advances of our day and of the last 100 years we have accelerated human lawlessness and depravity at an EXPONENTIAL rate, transforming the global social and cultural landscapes and climates not in centuries but in brief years! Every facet of this existence today is accelerating so rapidly that peoples, nations and tongues are being swept away and deceived before they can analyze the very world in which they live in. Global fiscal desolation is at our very door along with the destructive threats of global nuclear war. Global plagues, godlessness, crudity, violence, lawlessness, sexual addiction, drug and alcohol addiction, genocide, oppression, tyranny, individualisms’ massive global division etc… DOMINATE our fallen world much like the days of Noah (Gen. 6, Matt 24:37). These poisonous and destructive fruits are the results of the godless outworking of UNRIGHTEOUSNESS and LAWLESSNESS (Gal. 5: 19-21, 6:7). Yet today the world with great zeal protects, defends, guards and will decimate any who seek to challenge their lawless deeds (John 15:18, 17:14, 1 John 3:13). This world fully embraces and condones all of these destructive actions in its never ending quest to rid the world of rightness and light in their delusional quest for “world peace” (John 3:19-21). The world’s inhabitants of today are putting all their expectations in this delusional utopian basket with no bottom in it with the goal that one day mankind will enter in to a golden age of peace and harmony (Isa. 48:22, 57:21). Oh fools! No wonder the Bible states so clearly that all are sold under sin and unbelief and they have been and are presently deceived by the god and tyrant of this world, the fallen arch angel Lucifer (i.e., Satan) Rom 3, Eph. 6:12.
With all of the technological advances of our day and of the last 100 years we have accelerated human lawlessness and depravity at an EXPONENTIAL rate, transforming the global social and cultural landscapes and climates not in centuries but in brief years!
For the 15% who DO believe that we are in the Last Days, many of these objective worldly thinkers KNOW NOT Christ, Almighty God’s saving solution for their souls, the countless passages referring to the Day of the Lord, Christ’s return to earth and reject the Bible’s Divine authority (2 Tim. 3:7). These can sense that there is great global trouble ahead but cannot and tragically refuse to truly want to know why it is coming about. It has been my own personal experience that the majority of men would rather believe the Mayan’s who were a bunch of blood thirsty, superstitious, barbaric savages who were also astrological geniuses’ than Almighty God the Creator of the GLORIOUS Heavens and earth! No matter how you cut the vegetarian pizza on this poll you will find that UNBELIEF is KING and the common denominator among the world's inhabitants in which the very thief of the night will enter in (Matt. 24:33, 25:13, 1 Thess. 5:1-4, 2 Peter 3:10, Rev. 3:3, 16:15).
We are in the Last Days my friends, believe it or not and it will come as a thief to this godless, Christ rejecting, lawless the world. It will be after the Rapture of the Church (i.e., Christ’s called out assemble) that the world will maybe start to pay attention for UNBELIEF IS UNBELIEF IS UNBELIEF, remember Pharaoh’s heart? But it will not be until the HORRIFIC and CATASTROPHIC ride of the Four Horsemen and the following GREAT earthquake and wonders in the heavens that the world will now personally know that they are truly in the GREAT and DREADFUL DAY of THE LORD (Rev. 6). The seal judgments of Almighty God and the Lamb will finally be the horrific and sober wake up call to a godless world that Almighty God will not overlook godless rebellion and the mindset of UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in His holy presence.
But it will not be until the HORRIFIC and CATASTROPHIC ride of the Four Horsemen and the following GREAT earthquake and wonders in the heavens that the world will now personally know that they are truly in the GREAT and DREADFUL DAY of THE LORD!
Even to the end of this horrific seven year period called “the Day of the Lord or the 7 year tribulation” mankind will continue to war against Almighty God and not heed His warnings (2 Thess. 2: 8-12, Rev. 9:20-21, 16:21). They will choose to remain willfully ignorant and rebellious all the way to Armageddon. They in their subjective rage will be clueless that Christ will return from Heaven’s glory (Zech. 14:1-4, Rev. 19:11-21). Christ’s second coming to earth to destroy the remaining armies of the anti Christ and establish His EVERLASTING reign of RIGHTEOUSNESS will come as a thief in the night to a godless and rebellious world and will also be so even unto those Jews and gentiles who have come to a saving knowledge of the Lamb (Matt. 25:31-46, Rev. 7:13-17). So EXPONENTIALLY TURBULENT, so EXPONENTIALLY HORRIFIC will this time be that all SENSE of time will be absorbed into the vacuum of this CATASTROPHIC period. The simple counting of the seven years from the signing of the covenant to the return of Christ from Heaven’s glory will be lost in a world EXPONENTIALLY spiraling out of control (Isa. 24:5-6, Rev. 6-19). The Bible is very clear on this REALITY that Christ’s return to earth WILL be as a THIEF IN THE NIGHT (Rev. 16:15)!
So EXPONENTIALLY TURBULENT, so EXPONENTIALLY HORRIFIC will this time be that all SENSE of time will be absorbed into the vacuum of this CATASTROPHIC period.
It is not God’s Son's desire that He should come as a thief in the night but that all would hear His voice today and believe (John 3:16-17)! His Word today is everywhere. God has made it plentiful! It is in every tongue and language and the Internet has provided global access to the simple message of salvation! My friend, EVERYONE is without excuse (Acts 17:30-31, Rom 1:18-20). Before the arrival of the dreadful Day of the LordAlmighty God has given abundant, ample warning to ALL to be saved and be delivered, not just from the coming Day of the Lord, but from ETERNAL damnation (John 3:36, Rev. 20:11-15). Beloved, NOW is the time, NOW is the day of salvation. Will you hear the Holy Spirit and the bride’s voice (Rev. 22:17)? May it be so my dear friend! Place your trust in Jesus Christ, who is your Lamb and propitiation for your transgressions TO ANSWER Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS(Rom. 10:4, 1 John 2:2).
The Kingdom of God is at hand!!

Satan's War on Women
My dear friend, Satan is no dope or buffoon. He is a diabolical genius who fully comprehends the inner workings of Adam’s fallen race and knows how to perfectly play humanity like a fiddle to fulfill all of his demonic anti-God agenda (Isa. 14:12-15, Matt. 4:9, Eph. 2:2-3, Rev. 13:4). He is a human hunter and a destroyer and knows exactly what bait to use to bring down a culture and society which has had the Bible and Almighty God in its beginnings and founding (John 8:44). As one reads through the biblical account of Adam’s fallen race one satanic tactic is always used and tragically is 95% effective. That demonic tactic is to corrupt the woman's moral bearings and use her sexual appeal to seduce, corrupt and bring down a godly or even a godless social order and to render that society useless for Almighty God’s plan and out working for it (Rom. 1:18-32). The woman was used in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3). She was used to corrupt the holy seed of Seth in the pre-flood world (Gen. 6), She was used to derail Sampson(Judges 16), David (2 Sam. 11, 12:1-13), Solomon (1 Kings 11:1-11)and the nation of Israel (Numb 25, Ezra 9:1-2) and the Church (Rev. 2:20-22). Almighty God’s Word gives ample warning for the man to guard ones heart and fallen nature from the ways and traps of the godless women (Proverbs 6) while instructing the man to find a godly and virtuous women for the health and betterment of a society (Prov. 31:10-31). We have seen – in the last 50 years - with our own eyes the horrific ramifications and social fallout that has taken place here in America when the woman has abandoned and forsaken her Divine calling (Prov. 31:10-31). One of these horrific results has been the murder and barbaric infanticide of 55 million unborn children since 1973under the euphemistic title of "choice". Satan's war on women and motherhood has been horrific and very successful. all that he has planned and plotted against her has come to pass.
That demonic tactic is to corrupt the woman and use her sexual appeal to seduce, corrupt and bring down a godly or even a godless social order and to render that society useless for Almighty God’s plan and out working for it.
We have seen since the beginning of the social and sexual revolution here in America that the American man has been made base, feminine and weak by the subtle charms of the lawless intellect, licentious behavior, dominating spirit and position in the new social order of our post Judeo/Christian culture. Satan’s hand is all over this. Tragically with this rise of the godless woman and the promotion of secular feminism here in America there has come a ravishing price tag for this delusional “liberation”. The American woman of today is plagued with compounding guilt, personal unfulfillment, sex, drug and alcohol addiction, plaguing STD’s, physical abuse, deep dark depression, psychological trauma, rage, hatred, bitterness, a vindictive spirit and emotional instability. They are personally unfullfilled and spiritually vacant (Gal. 6:7,8). These women have drunk the lawless kool-aid of the secular liberation movement's message and have been sold a demonic bill of wares. They have forsaken and rebelled against Almighty God’s Divine purpose and design for them and it has affected them all according to their own personal application of this secular and lawless ideology. Tragically they have become shipwrecked on the lawless shores of godlessness and have been reaping the lawless consequences continually (Gal. 6:7-8). Instead of humbling themselves to the love, mercy and grace of Almighty God they have tragically only hardened their hearts and have become bitter and even more vile in their manner of living.
.
Satan's delusional and lawless ambitions for godless liberation have only shackled these women with iron battleship chains and have self imposed a lawless tyranny upon themselves.
Almighty God created the woman to be finer than the man. She was created to balance the dominate nature of man, to hold him accountable, to be his help meet, to be loving, motherly, caring, compassionate and the anchor of the Divine design of the family unit (Almighty God being the bedrock) - Prov. 31: 10-31, Matt. 7:24-26). One can always tell the temperature of a culture and society by the state and condition of its women. When women are in a right relationship with Almighty God Satan is limited in his corrupting powers. When she adheres to the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God there is a healthy restraint, order and harmony in a fallen society, to preserve it and to keep it from corruption. Since 1962 - when prayer and Almighty God was removed from our nation’s schools - the lawless dam here in America has broken wide open and the American woman has been swept away and has been its greatest victim. Satan's delusional and lawless ambitions for godless liberation have only shackled these women with iron battleship chains and have self imposed a lawless tyranny upon themselves (Gal. 6:7-8).
One can always tell the temperature of a culture and society by the state and condition of its women. When women are in a right relationship with Almighty God Satan is limited in his corrupting powers.
As we come to the end expect evil men and women to get worse and worse as the day continues (2 Tim 3:1-7). The Day of the Lord is at hand and His time for global judgment on all those who hold the TRUTH, physical and spiritual ABSOLUTES and RIGHTEOUSNESS of Almighty God in unrighteousness (Rom. 1:18-32, Rev. 6-16). When the women of a society have sold themselves to lawlessness and have given themselves over to Satan's lawless and tyrannical designs as we have seen for these last 50 years, we are indeed at the end of our nation’s journey.
.The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!!

A Personal Question for the Son of Israel?
My beloved Jewish friend, may I ask you these very personal questions?
Where is YOUR atonement for your transgressions against the Holy Law of Almighty G-d (Lev. 17:11, Isa. 53)?
Where is YOUR sin-offering for your cleansing of transgressions against the Holy Law of Almighty G-d (Lev. 4, 17:11, Isa. 53)?
Where is YOUR lamb to offer in your place for your transgressions(Lev. 17:11, Isa. 53)?
Where is YOUR propitiation that FULLY satisfies the PERFECT RIGHTEOUS DEMANDS OF THE HOLY LAW OF G-D (Isa. 53:10-11, Zech. 12:8-14)?
Have you PERFECTLY kept the LAW of Moses with your whole HEART, SOUL and MIND (Deut. 6:5)?
My dear Jewish friend, ALL (Jew and Gentile) crucially need Almighty God's FULL SATISFYING propitiation which all the lambs of sacrifice pointed to but could NEVER take away(Ps. 40:6-8, Isa. 40:16). ETERNAL redemption is ONLY found in the PERFECT life, death and resurrection of the Messiah of Israel, the Branch of RIGHTEOUSNESS (Psalm 110:1, Isa 9:6-7, 53, Jer. 33:15, Zech. 12:10). The Messiah was born of the seed of woman and of the line of Abraham (Gen. 3:15, 12:3, Isa. 7:14, 9:6-7, Micah 5:2). He laid down His life and shed His Blood for the transgressions of the world and was rejected by both Jew and Gentile (Isa. 53:1-10, Dan. 9:26, Zech. 12:10). He was buried (Ps. 16:10, Isa 53:9) and triumphantly AROSE from the dead for our justification and now sits at the RIGHT HAND of ALMIGHTY G-D in Heaven (Psalm 16:10,110:1, Isa. 52:13, 53:12, 9:6-7). He will come again to redeem Israel and will establish His Kingdom from Israel (Psalm 110:1, Isa. 11:1-10, Dan. 2:44-45, 7:13-14, Micah 4:1-4, Zech. 12-14).
ETERNAL redemption is ONLY found in the PERFECT life, death and resurrection of the Messiah of Israel, the Branch of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
It is our sincere desire that you would come to know the Messiah of Israel and let the Word of the Lord open your eyes and heart to the realities of time and ETERNITY. Tragically Israel's WORST DAYS are not very far away (Jer. 30:4-9, Zech 13:7-9, 14:1-4) and tragically they will NOT listen to Moses and Elijah who Almighty God will send to them in that Day (Ezek. 39:26, Mal. 4, Rev. 11:3-12). After a great and decisive victory over Israel's border enemies Israel will achieve a temporal peace and will become very prosperous (Ezek. 38:8). It will be at this time that Israel will enter into a treaty with a man on behalf of their defeated enemies for seven years (Dan. 9:27, Rev. 6:1-2). In the middle of that treaty - as the world is undergoing great war, pestilence and famine (Rev. 6-9) - this man will break His covenant with Israel (Dan. 7, Rev. 11:7, 13) and he will lead the world to FULLY seek to eradicate Israel from being a people (Deut. 4:30, Dan. 12, Jer. 30:4-7, Zech. 13:8-9, Rev. 12). It will take this GREAT TRIBULATION AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON that will case Israel to FINALLY cry out to the LORD as He returns from Heaven's glory and they will greatly repent and be mightily converted (Isa. 63:1-4, 66:7-9, Zech. 12:1-4, :8-14, 13:1-2,6, 14:1-4, Rev. 1:7, 19:11-21).
It will FINALLY take this GREAT TRIBULATION AND THE BATTLE OF ARMAGEDDON that Israel will FINALLY cry out to the Lord as He returns from Heaven's glory and the will greatly repent and be mightily converted.
We are not far away from these days. My dear Jewish friend may you have an ear to hear today The Gospel call of the Messiah of Israel. May you by faith ask Almighty G-d to reveal to you through His Holy Word the Messiah of Israel and may you receive Him as your Lord and Savior (Ps.110:1, Isa. 53).
Beloved, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

A Message for the Son of Israel
Have You Kept the 10 Commandments Perfectly?
In These Trying Days Are You IN Christ?
What will keep ONE out of Almighty God's perfect Heaven will not be one's application and practice of conservative virtuous living or the base indulging of a decadent life style BUT REJECTING Almighty God's saving solution, which is ONLY found in Jesus Christ the Lamb of Almighty God. (John 3:36, Rom. 10:2-4). Almighty God wants to help you and to bring you and your loved ones unto Himself, to LOVE you as only He can (John 3:16-17, Acts 16:28-31). The question we must ask ourselves is, "Will we let Him?"
He soon will come from Heavens glory to deliver the just, destroy the wicked and establish His Kingdom reign and His ETERNAL state of RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER.
As mankind’s godless rebellion today knows no boundaries and all that is scared and pure is slandered, trashed and vilified, may you be sure that you ARE SAVED and IN Christ(Acts 4:1, 2 Cor. 5:17-21, Eph. 2:8-9, 1 John 5:10-15). May you find all of your hope and expectations in Almighty God in these dire days! Christ soon will come from Heavens glory to deliver the just, destroy the wicked and establish His Kingdom reign and then His ETERNAL state of RIGHTEOUSNESS FOREVER (2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev.19:11-21, 21-22), again the question we must ask ourselves is will we be ready? My dear friend, may you be one who embraces Divine reality and one who chooses to know the Savior. You will NEVER be the same!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Dude, You’re So Negative!
My dear friends and to those of the Ignorant Fishermen brigade, we receive many emails and comments referring to how “NEGATIVE” our evaluation and diagnoses of the current state of our nation and the world in general is. We constantly hear the subjective scoffing such as…”You’re guys are a bunch of defeatist and quitters”. You are a bunch of “doom and gloomers”. You are causing strife and division among “Christians”. “You’re crazy and nuts and who do you think you are to say such things…?” “You are preaching hate” and my personal favorite, “The “god” I serve would NEVER let these things happen you hater and self righteous bigot”. Well… it’s never a dull movement here at the IFB… that there... is for sure… but it’s all good my friends and we are not detoured, for we are extremely confident and bold in the Lord for YOUR sakes and in His precious Word and ETERNAL promises for ALL (2 Cor. 1:20, 2 Peter 1:4). We are not moved by the negative and sometimes downright hate that is lashed out at us, for how could we be when Almighty God’s Word has NEVER been so abundant for ALL to possess and clear for ALL to understand. We can see His prophetic truths of His soon return materializing right before our very eyes which is absolutely amazing! God’s Word burns in our hearts and why should it not?
We are not moved by the negative and sometimes downright hate that is lashed out at us, for how could we be when Almighty God’s Word has NEVER been so abundant for all to possess and clear for all to understand.
Who cannot be saved and read these personal positive wonderful truths of Almighty God for His children and not be moved and inspired! Who cannot rejoice in the ETERNAL salvation which Almighty God has provided for all those who have chosen to receive His FREE pardon and know Him (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 16:29-31, Rom. 5:12-21, Eph. 2:8-9, Rev. 22:17)! Who could not rejoice in redemption’s ETERNAL wondrous plan (1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21, 22:1-5)! Who could not rejoice that our sins are forgiven and that we possess ETERNAL life (Ps. 103:12, John 3:16-17, 17:3)! Who could not rejoice in our position in Christ (Eph. 1:3, 2:1-14, Col. 3:1-4, 1 John 4:4)! Who cannot rejoice that we are living in the very days of our Savior’s soon return! Oh GLORY my beloved! Oh Glory! When we allow Almighty God to be Almighty God to us and see things fromHeaven’s ETERNAL perspective it is wonderful, for He is EXPONENTIALLY wonderful! We are SET FREE from the ruler and slave master of this world, from the bondage of sin, and the fear of death’s dread sting (Rom. 8:15, Eph. 2:1-14, Heb. 2:14-15). Oh my beloved, it’s all “ETERNALLY” good in the Lord (Phil. 4:4)!
When we allow Almighty God to be Almighty God to us and see things from Heaven’s ETERNAL perspective it is wonderful, for He is EXPONENTIALLY wonderful!
In all sincerity, the IFB’sobjective Biblical perspective is VERY positive and teeming with wondrous hope, Words of life and ETERNAL great expectations for all who would receive it (Rom. 15:4, Phil. 4:4)! For my beloved, we provide that for you - an objective ETERNAL insight - which you will NEVER hear or receive from the Rush Limbaughs,Sean Hannitys, Glen Becks, Jim Vicevichs and Michael Savages of the world. They talk of only what they know of which is from theirsubjective conservative “spiritual” unregenerate world perspective (Rom 8:1-9, Cor. 2:14, James 3:13-18, Jude 1:19). Thank God for them BUT… they can only offer you a subjective worldly perspective without any ETERNAL realities and truths (Rom. 8:1-9, 1 Cor. 2:14) and in the end they have deceived themselves and you my dear friend (2 Cor. 11:13-15, 2 Tim 3:13). They can only offer you temporal optimistic appraisals, wishful thinking and spider web hopes to get you through the evil day and darkened night but offer absolutely nothing about your ETERNAL destiny (Prov. 14:12, 16:25, Matt. 7: 13-27, John 3:36). They bring absolutely no REALITY of man’s accountability to their Creator, desperate need for Almighty God’s saving grace and RIGHTEOUSNESS and the overwhelming truths and realities that the Day of the Lord is at hand! (1 Cor. 2:2, Gal. 6:14, Col. 1:28, 2 Thess. 2:3-12, Rev. 6-19). These dire ETERNAL REALITIES of salvation and the soon coming Day of Wrath, the second coming of the Lord Jesus and His establishment of the Kingdom of Almighty God are scoffed at and dismissed by them as extreme, simple, relativistic “religious philosophies” and the rantings of zealots which have no relevance to our present day or future. The Lord Jesus Christ stated it Himself to a great “conservative and unsaved religious” leader in Israel, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” – John 3:3.
“Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, "Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?” (John 3:9-12, ref. also Rom 8:1-9, 1 Cor. 2:14)
The Lord Jesus Christ stated it Himself to a great “conservative and unsaved religious” leader in Israel, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
If one has NEVER received the pardon of Almighty God (John 3:36), then one is NOT born again and regenerated by Almighty God’s Holy Spirit -, it is just that simple (John 3:3-17, 1 cor. 6:9-11, Titus 3:5, 1 Peter 1:3). Without this regeneration an individual will remain dead in their trespasses and sins and spiritually ignorant (John 14:16-17,26, Rom. 8:1-9, 1 Cor. 2:14, 1 John 1:27). He will continually to be imprisoned in this subjective fallen world under the delusional sway of their tyrannical master Lucifer (2 Cor. 4:3-4, Eph. 2:2-3, 6:12). They cannot no matter how hard they try to fully comprehend the day we are living in and what is at the door because they REFUSE to believe it even though they might understand the basic truths of it (Rom. 8:1-9, 1 Cor. 2:14, 2 Tim 2:25).
As these days come to an end and America is sucked into the vortex of fiscal, social and moral collapse, there is ALWAYS hope in Almighty God… ALWAYS (Matt. 28:20, John 14:1-3, 1 John 3:-12, Titus 2:13)! As Christ removes His Church(via the Rapture) my dear friends expect the world only to get DARKER and DARKER and DARKER… to the point that the world and its inhabitants will tail spin out of control into unimaginable global nuclear war, natural disasters, demonic oppression and possession and the willing worship of the anti Christ and Lucifer himself (2 Thess. 2:3-12,2 Tim. 3:1-7, Rev. 6-16). These horrific and catastrophic days ARE what is heading our way, like it or not, believe it or not. Be NOT deceived my dear friends by the many different voices and spirits that have gone throughout our land (Jer. 14:14, 23:16, Matt.7:15, Col. 2:4-8, 1 John 4:1) Almighty God sent His dear Son to rescue ALL who would put their trust and faith in Him for ETERNAL salvation (John 3:16-17, Gal 1:4). Hear, ye Him!
As these days come to an end and America is sucked into the vortex of fiscal, social and moral collapse, there is ALWAYS hope in Almighty God… ALWAYS!!
The time for unbelief, scoffing and ignorance must be put aside for objective Biblical reality. Hold onto your unbelief and fear if you so choose to but only expect ruin and desolation for your ETERNAL future and in this temporal existence here in time (John 3:36, 1 John 2:15-17, Rev. 20:11-15). May you choose to abandon and cast away your ideals which exclude Almighty God, His Word and His ETERNAL promises for you and place your trust in the Savior of the world! You will be set FREE and you will NEVER be the same (John 8:32, 36)! We here at the IFB can truly testify to that truth and reality. If it were not so my dear friends, well… we would be out fishing, eating, drinking and being merry for all would be vanity (1 Cor. 15:11-22), but that is NOT the case for we are YOUR servants for Christ’s sake in these last days before He comes for us! How can we not be, for we owe Him and we know what He has truly done for us! My dear friend, have faith in Almighty God and join us as we serve and REJOICE in the ETERNAL WONDERFUL PERSON of ALMIGHTY GOD! Only the fool will say no to the wondrous love of the Savior. May you not be one of them. (Eph. 5:16-17)

What is an Ignorant Fisherman?
2000 years ago before Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead, He chose men. The ELITE ruling class and religious rulers of that day from their position of pride and arrogance called these men of ALMIGHTY GOD "ignorant" (Acts 4:13). Almighty God, however, called these men wise and blessed(Matt. 13:16, Luke 10:23) and to be His Fishermen and Ambassadors to a lost and dying world (2 Cor. 5:17-21).
"Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men" (Mark 1:14-17).
"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13).
Almighty God would use these"ignorant" men - as the godless unbelieving world perceived them - for being the catalyst for transforming and changing the entire landscape of the world by their sharing of the wonderful "Good News" of God's plan of salvation to humanity (Matt. 28:18-20, Acts 17:16). The resurrected Lord Jesus Christ (Psalm. 110:1, Acts 2) would also use these same believing Jewish men on Pentecost to establish His Church after the rejection of His Kingship and Kingdom offer to Israel(Matthew 16:13-19, Acts 2,3).
Today "THE ELITE", wise and prudent of this world still reject and scoff at the claims of Almighty God's saving grace, Christ's soon return and the coming judgment upon the whole world and view these realities as absolute foolishness (1 Cor. 1: 18-31). In the day in which we live, it is our sole desire to be Almighty God's watchmen and to look at the current events of our day through the eyes of Almighty God's Word(John 17:17).
2000 years later, Almighty God is still saving and using "the "Ignorant Fishermen of this world" to get out His Word and to warn the world of the coming Day of Wrath. Are you one of them? Are you "Ignorant"enough to follow the risen Lord? The wisest of all men have seen by faith in Almighty God the wonders of the glorious promises found in the Person of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 2:9, 2 Cor. 1:20). Put aside your nets of self will and pick up your cross for Almighty God's wonderful will and way for your life here in time (Rom. 8:26-39). My friend choose this day to serve and follow the Lord for His glory and honor. You will absolutely NEVER be the same!

A Global Bloodbath and Armageddon THEN will Peace Finally Come to Jerusalem!
It will be the ravishing of Israel under the anti Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return in which Jesus Messiah will obliterate the global armies of the Anti Christ which will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace), to the nation of Israel and to the world (Isa. 24:5-6, Dan. 9:24-27, Zech. 12:4,14:2-4, Rev. 19:11-21)!
It will be the ravishing of Israel under the anti Christ, climaxing with the global bloodbath of Armageddon at Messiah's glorious return that will finally bring about a TRUE and EVERLASTING PEACE to Jerusalem (the City of Peace) and to the nation of Israel!
What Israel and the nations have attempted for centuries and could NEVER achieve will finally be accomplished at Almighty God the Son’s second coming to earth (Psalm 2, 24:7-10, 110, Isa. 2:3, 9:6-7, 33:22, 51:5,61:1-11, Dan. 2:34-35, 44-45, 7:13-14, Micah 4:1-3, Zech. 14:16-21, Rev. 19:11-21)...
The TRUE Peace Comes to Jerusalem!
.
.
Through out the last 2600 years, how many sons of Abraham have totally missed the reality and truth of the Holy Scriptures of just how this Divine peace MUST be established.
My dear friend, please try to comprehend that ALL current global events are indeed heading to this destination and EXPONENTIALLY beyond (Rev. 19:11-21)! Remember the words of the Lord Jesus in which He specifically told His disciples to pray, “After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven (Matt. 6:9-10).” Oh my beloved! How many people pray this prayer day after day and are absolutely oblivious to what it is testifying to and stating! “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”
.
It will indeed take the horrific seven year tribulation period to wake up the Jew and the gentile nations to this reality(Isa. 24:5-6, Rev. 6:14-17, 17:2).There is absolutely NO hope for Israel and the nations of the world apart for their Creator and Savior, Jesus Messiah (John 3:16-17, Eph. 2:12-16, Heb 1:2-3). It will NOT be until the Jew is reconciled with Jehovah God and receive their Messiah as their sacrificial lamb, propitiation and Savior that the nations WILL BE BLESSED (Isa. 2:1-4, 19:23-25, Micah 4:1-4, Zech. 8:23, Rom. 11:12)and TRUE DIVINE PEACE will go forth out of Jerusalem unto the entire world (Isa. 2:3-4,33:16, 62:1, Jer. 33:5)!
It will NOT be until the Jew is reconciled with Jehovah God and receive their Messiah as their sacrificial lamb, propitiation and Savior that the nations WILL BE BLESSED and TRUE DIVINE PEACE will go forth out of Jerusalem unto the entire world.
My friend, do you have a saving relationship to Jesus Messiah the Savior of the world (Psalm 110:1, Isa. 43:11,52:13-15, 53)? All depends on this very union. His death, burial and resurrection to the Right Hand of Almighty God is the center piece of all ETERNITY(Gen. 22:8, Psalm 110:1, Isa. 53, 1 Cor. 15:1-4, Rev. 1:18,13:8, 21-22:1-5). He will indeed come back to establish His Kingdom on His earth and the gates of Hell shall not nor NEVER prevent this from happening (Dan. 2:44-45, 7:13-14, Rev. 1:7, 16:13-16, 19:11-21).
As the days grow nearer to the Day of the Lord be sure that you know the Savior and Messiah of Israel as dictated by the Holy Scriptures!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

That is why we just post our initials (to distinguish the different writers) followed by I.F. (Ignorant Fishermen). We want all the Glory and Praise to go to Him in these Last Days!

AND JESUS SAID UNTO THEM, COME YE AFTER ME, AND I WILL MAKE YOU TO BECOME FISHERS OF MEN. (MARK 1:17)
THE WISDOM OF GOD/THE FOOLISHNESS OF MAN
FOR THE PREACHING OF THE CROSS IS TO THEM THAT PERISH FOOLISHNESS; BUT UNTO US WHICH ARE SAVED IT IS THE POWER OF GOD. FOR IT IS WRITTEN, I WILL DESTROY THE WISDOM OF THE WISE, AND WILL BRING TO NOTHING THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRUDENT. WERE IS THE WISE? WHERE IS THE SCRIBE? WHERE IS THE DISPUTER OF THIS WORLD? HATH NOT GOD MADE FOOLISH THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD? FOR AFTER THAT IN THE WISDOM OF GOD THE WORLD BY WISDOM KNEW NOT GOD, IT PLEASED GOD BY THE FOOLISHNESS OF PREACHING TO SAVE THEM THAT BELIEVE. FOR THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM. BUT WE PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, UNTO THE JEWS A STUMBLING BLOCK, AND UNTO THE GREEKS FOOLISHNESS; BUT UNTO THEM WHICH ARE CALLED, BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD. BECAUSE THE FOOLISHNESS OF GOD IS WISER THAN MEN; AND THE WEAKNESS OF GOD IS STRONGER THAN MEN. FOR YE SEE YOUR CALLING, BRETHREN, HOW THAT NOT MANY WISE MEN AFTER THE FLESH, NOT MANY MIGHTY, NOT MANY NOBLE, ARE CALLED: BUT GOD HATH CHOSEN THE FOOLISH THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE WISE; AND GOD HATH CHOSEN THE WEAK THINGS OF THE WORLD TO CONFOUND THE THINGS WHICH ARE MIGHTY; AND BASE THINGS OF THE WORLD, AND THINGS WHICH ARE DESPISED, HATH GOD CHOSEN, YEA, AND THINGS WHICH ARE NOT, TO BRING TO NOUGHT THINGS THAT ARE: THAT NO FLESH SHOULD GLORY IN HIS PRESENCE. BUT OF HIM ARE YE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO OF GOD IS MADE UNTO US WISDOM, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND SANCTIFICATION, AND REDEMPTION: THAT, ACCORDING AS IT IS WRITTEN, HE THAT GLORIETH, LET HIM GLORY IN THE LORD.
