Broaden Your Platform

Platform Tip No. 64
New platform options do not replace older platforms.
Radio was not replaced by television. Twitter did not replace Facebook. Podcasts did not replace blogs. The good news is we have many more platform tools available to help us connect with our audience. The bad news is we have many more platform tools available ... I think the question I get asked most often is "what is the best platform for my message?" The answer to message improvement is not about the platform, it is about the message. A great message will "work" on any platform that reaches people who need to hear your message—as long as you show up every day. | |

How the Nine Traits of the Messianic Generation are Coming Alive in the Modern World By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz - BREAKING ISRAEL NEWS

How the Nine Traits of the Messianic Generation are Coming Alive in the Modern World
“There shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence.”
Daniel 12:1-2 (The Israel Bible™)
In the search for signs of the onset of the Messianic era, many look to the Bible and Prophets. The rabbinic sages who wrote the Talmud, a collection of Jewish biblical commentaries, were also granted a modicum of prescience. One section of the Talmud describes, in detail, the characteristics of society preceding the Messiah. In many ways, it is a disturbingly accurate description of our culture today and its unique traits, never seen before in history.
This description, found in the tractate of Sotah, folio 49b, lists nine traits of the days preceding the Messiah.
1) Insolence will increase and honor dwindle
The internet has drastically changed the dynamics of modern society, making fame a more a matter of shock value than merit. The web has given rise to a culture of shamelessness and permissiveness in which freedom of expression manifests in internet trolling and bizarre viral videos. The phenomenon even received the presidential seal of approval when President Barack Obama met with Glozell Green, a woman whose claim to fame was eating cereal from a bathtub.
2) The vine will bear its fruit but wine will be dear
Today’s global economy has led to a situation in which a fertile country could go into debt and be unable to feed its population. This is precisely what Venezuela is experiencing today. Hoarding food and prepping became illegal in 2013. Last year, the government instituted rationing of electricity and forced farmers and food manufacturers to sell 30-100 percent of their goods to the state at set prices. Today, there are long lines for basic commodities and serious concerns that Venezuela may be on the verge of a catastrophic economic collapse, leading to an economically-induced famine. Given the state of the global economy, this is dangerously close to becoming a common phenomenon.
3) The government will turn to heresy and there will be none to offer them reproof
Without touching on US President Barack Obama’s ambiguous religious life, he has often been criticized for political heresy in his harsh treatment of the Bible of the United States: the Constitution. Discussions about gun control make no reference to the second amendment, and his executive order granting amnesty to illegal immigrants is in litigation for its questionable legality. Obamacare has several points which are criticized for violating basic constitutional points. Yet Obama has placed himself above reproof by issuing executive orders with impunity.
At the same time, the ongoing Republican campaign for the presidential nomination has taken on a religious dimension, with nearly all of the candidates emphasizing a strong religious aspect to their platforms. It seems that many Americans have decided they would like to see less heresy and more religion in the White House.
3) The meeting place of scholars will be used for immorality
American universities were created to transform students into successful, educated contributors to society, yet morality on today’s campuses has taken a sharp and disturbing downturn. Studies have shown that as many as 40 percent of college students can be defined as alcoholics, and more than half of all university students will use illicit drugs. Even more disturbingly, sexual assault is rampant in today’s universities. Some studies estimate that 19-27 percent of college women and 6-8 percent of college men are sexually assaulted during their time in college.
4) The dwellers on the frontier will go about begging from place to place without anyone to take pity on them
Today’s refugee issue has become a modern epidemic. 14 million Syrians have fled their homes, and six million of these were forced to leave their country – four million in the last year alone. At least 340 children have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea since September and officials claim the actual figure may be much higher with many bodies lost at sea. Despite international efforts, the situation has grown beyond any ability to cope with it, and taken on social dimensions that have become the focus of debate.
5) Youths will put old men to shame, the old will stand up in the presence of the young
In today’s culture of youth, achievement at a young age is idolized and lauded, and older generations, despite having built the foundation of the modern world, are pushed aside as they age out of technological advancement and relevance. In 2014, Forbes wrote in its annual ‘Under 30 list’ highlighting the achievements of young entrepreneurs, “This is the time to be young and ambitious. Never before has youth been such an advantage.” It seems that lifetime achievement awards have gone out of fashion.
6) A son will revile his father, a daughter will rise up against her mother….and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household
Last month, a 20-year-old Syrian man personified this disturbing forecast when he killed his mother in the city of Raqqa because she urged him to leave ISIS. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated that there have been several cases of sons killing their father for similar reasons, but this was the first documented case of matricide.
7) The face of the generation will be like the face of a dog
Sometimes the simple reading is the most poignant. Hillary Clinton shocked many at a recent campaign speech in Reno when, while making a point, she began barking like a dog.
8) A son will not be ashamed before his father
The rabbinic commentary describes this as a condition in which the young take over the roles of authority traditionally held by society’s elders. This is certainly true in today’s marketplace in which uber-rich youngsters rule over men and women with decades of education and experience. Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, reset the biological business meter when he founded Microsoft at the age of 20, making Steve Jobs (born the same year as Gates) seem over the hill when he waited until the age of 21 to found Apple. At 23, an age when most people are coping with the very beginnings of their career, Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, was a self-made billionaire. David Karp, a high-school dropout, founded Tumblr when he was 20 and now, at the ripe old age of 26, has a personal worth of more than $200 million.
9) The wisdom of the learned will degenerate, fearers of sin will be despised, and the truth will be lacking
Nowhere is the fulfillment of this prediction more evident than in the blatantly unfair treatment of the State of Israel on today’s world stage. The dialogue surrounding the conflict in Israel is dominated by outright lies, including claims – now widely accepted – that deny facts previously undisputed. Despite the absolute absence of any historical Palestinian nation, opponents of Israel claim that the Palestinians have been a nation in the land of Israel for thousands of years, with historical and religious ties to the Temple Mount. This view was even propagated by one of the world’s premiere journalistic sources, the New York Times, which stated that proof of the Jewish Temples “proved elusive”.
The Israel debate is mired in absurdity. The world’s top thinkers, politicians and religious world leaders who should know better, blindly vilify the Jewish State and support its enemies. The attempts of Israeli security forces to protect Jews and citizens from Palestinian terrorists have been called “extrajudicial executions”. The United Nations has censured Israel, the only democratic nation in the Middle East, more times than any other country in the world. Pope Francis has crowned PA President Mahmoud Abbas an “Angel of Mercy”, despite Abbas’s blatant incitement of violence against Israelis.
One must look no further than the worldwide rejection and condemnation of the Jewish State, a beacon of democracy, faith, and light, to see the truth of this forecast.

Longing For Israel With the Ongoing Spiritual Crisis - a personal letter from a European friend
Dear Love For His People readers,
In January we received an email in reply from a friend in Europe that we pray for often. They shared the following, which we post after receiving their approval to do so.
We share these words with you in order to let others know what some are experiencing, as the spiritual climate continues to change. We do not disclose their name or country for obvious reasons.
I hope you pray for European believers in those countries. They need us now.
In Jesus' Name,
Steve Martin

"Your greeting means much! It has been very difficult here and it is very difficult to live in (this city) in spiritual crisis. I have not found a church and my friends do not live close.
I have agony and sorry have not have strength to read your book (Arms of Love and End of Days which we sent in two mailings after publications, at no charge. Two copies each.) Will see if I can read any today.
I am painting paintings and am doing poems for a book. I went outside and God gave me comfort because I met some youth as I could share about Yeshua/Jesus with. They were open.
I gave them like a very little book with Bible Scriptures and where you can ask for more on a New Testament at an (website) address. I told them Jesus loves you. It was sweet when I went because then one of the youth was whispering after me, "God bless you!"

It was nice.
There are some Christian leaders who do not say it exactly here of the serious spiritual crisis. There are few mature Christian leaders in (this country) but it can be changed. Your website is important! You write many interesting things!

There was a Nazistic demonstration here in (city). It was not nice. I think I am Jewish but have no papers and am longing to Israel as you know. I trust the Lord to open doors.
I pray for you and family!
Shalom and blessings!
P.S. I send you these thoughts as I wrote on stars. I like to think deep and about symbolic things in the Bible.
THOUGHTS ABOUT STARS
Abraham looked at the stars in Gen 15:5.
People are like stars, symbolic Ps 147:4 as I see as with a double meaning also symbolic about people." He counts the number of the stars. He calls them all by name.
Jesus is the Morningstar Rev 22: 16.
Morningstar maybe can mean also sunrise, a star in the morning.
Jesus is like a a sunrise.
God is wonderful like all stars.
God is like the sun in the day and the moon in the night.
Isaiah 9:2 "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light."
This Scripture talk about hope and light. Jesus is light and hope.
A star gives light in the darkness, a special Star, Jesus, giving light.
He is the Hope.
Jesus is the Word, John 1. Every Bible Scripture is like a star giving light.
I think about all Scriptures and all the stars Abraham looked at at heaven, like the Scriptures are like the stars at heaven. The Bible I also think can be seen like a special Star, giving light.
Jesus is also then the Word and a Star.
I look at the U.S flag and think about Abraham looking at heaven when I see the stars on it.
A symbol on the flag for each state is a star. I think stars can be a symbol, for instance, for this too.
I am also thinking of Israel like a precious star in Gods hand.
Blessings!
