Trouble Has Come To Israel, America, Ukraine And The World! By: Dr. Shuffel P. Hepburn

Trouble has come to Israel, America, Ukraine and the world. That's our message. The text is taken from Zechariah 14.

This is the sequel to last week's urgent message, where we shared a very serious message from the Lord, in which He said to me "The time of trouble has come. The time of trouble is here.

This message will now talk about the most important things you should do and about God's promises to keep you safe in the ark of safety. We will talk about how this message ties in with the holy scriptures and about what we can do to

prepare ourselves for what lies ahead. And we will discuss the other thoughts God gave me on that March morning and how this will all end.

Vigilant prayer, study of God's word and soul winning are the three most important activities for believers in Christ in this season. The Apostle Paul

tells us that since the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night we should be on high alert watching and being sober instead of sleeping the sleep of indifference like the rest of the world. He tells us to pray without ceasing. When Joshua was about to lead the children of Israel to possess the promised land the Lord told him not to let the word of God depart from his mouth and to be sure to meditate on God's word day and night.

And this is the same instruction that God is giving to us now and are we not in the same place as the Israelites were in that day. They were about to possess God's promised land. In our case we are headed to possess heaven and all the promises of God. Consider for a moment how many of

your friends and family members will be left behind if Christ comes today. Will it be 10%? Will it be 25% of them or perhaps it may be more like 50 to 60% of them? Imagine how it will be for them on that day with all the weeping and gnashing of teeth. So should we not try to warn some of them and win them over to the gospel of Jesus Christ and save them from hell and its damnation.

As you pray remember Psalm 46 and 1 which tells us God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble and therefore we will not fear

even though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Though its waters roar and be troubled. Though the mountains shake with its swelling, selah. Fear not my friend, the Lord will bring us through.

Father we thank You for this word. Send it forth Father. Oh God we pray the anointing of Your Holy Spirit upon this word. Anointed for truth and oh God touch the hearts of the listeners that they may take serious Your word in Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

No matter what some may think of it. I am compelled to send this warning out. I’m not trying to get brownie points or to see how many likes or followers I can get. My goal as always is to please God. The Lord bless you if you find truth in this message. The Lord bless you if you follow our ministry. But let us focus on following Christ first and foremost. Nevertheless I urge you to pass this warning on to as many as possible and you can even take the credit. You do not even need to mention my name that is not important.

In the previous message I shared about how the Lord said to me in the wee hours of the morning of March 20th 2025 "The time of trouble has come the time of trouble is here." Then He said, "Weep for my children. Weep for My children." And I shared about how I lay in my bed for quite a while and wept and wept until I had no more tears to weep. Consider this, the Lord sent a warning in 2019 saying "Preach the gospel great trouble is coming to the earth." And I have been preaching the gospel ever since. And that very same

year we encountered Hurricane Dorian and the COVID pandemic kicked off. Now seven years later He's saying that the time of the real trouble has indeed come and now is upon us.

On that March 20th morning I sat at my writing table and thought about the Lord's warnings. I looked to see the leaders of the world that are currently in place. I saw the powerful leaders of the greatest nations on earth, of China which has 1.41 billion mostly Buddhist population and is a non-theistic nation whose religion emphasizes enlightenment and how to break free from suffering. I thought about India with 1.46 billion people who follow the Hindu religion and have one main god Braman and a million small gods. And I thought about the 1.9 billion Muslims having Muhammad as their god spread out over 48 countries with the nations of Iran, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Africa, Nigeria and Egypt as some of the top nations.

And I saw the United States, the largest Christian nation in the entire world with 62% of its population as Christian and I thought about the half billion people of the EU who are 72% Christian believe it or not, the largest Christian group of nations in the world. And finally I thought about Russia with a whopping 82% Christian population, mostly Orthodox Christians and I looked to see if there was any true champion for Jesus Christ in the world, any true

champion of the word of God leading these nations. And I saw that there was

no genuine champion for God. No genuine champion for the one true God in place. No Christian leader who is born again and filled with the Holy Spirit and I lamented over a world that is poised for the fulfillment of the word of God as given to us in the book of Revelation. And my heart was broken for the people of God and the people of the world and for the things that are about to come upon the earth suddenly.

Then I looked at those who claimed to be the people of the Most High God on the outside but on the inside were like the Pharisees who were full of dead men's bones. And I thought about the fire of God that is going to come to prove or to

try the faith of those who claim to belong to Jesus Christ.

The message that the world's time of trouble is here should be no great surprise to believers in Christ who study the scriptures and who have the Holy Spirit. These faithful have been studying scripture and observing the times and therefore they have a good idea of what is coming upon the earth, for it is all laid out for us in the word of God. The signs that these times are upon us are becoming more and more evident day by day. If it is true that the time of these troubles has now come, then we will see more of the prophecies of Revelation begin unfolding right before our very eyes in the months and the years that are ahead.

So much has been spoken in the Holy Scriptures about these terrible Days, for instance Matthew wrote about the multiplication of wickedness and how the love of many will grow cold as we draw near to the day. We are seeing it all around us. The Apostle John called these days the last hour saying "Just as we have heard the antichrist is coming." And he said "We know it is the last hour." The book of Luke tells us of great earthquakes famines and pestilences in various places, and these things have been happening more and more. And then the Apostle Paul tells us about perilous times in the last days and that the rebellion will occur and the man of lawlessness the son of destruction will be revealed. And he said "While many are saying peace and safety destruction will come upon the earth suddenly like labor pains on a pregnant woman." And even Daniel wrote about a time of distress like nothing which has ever occurred from the beginning of nations. Today they are feeling this distress in the Gaza Strip. They are feeling this distress in Lebanon and Syria, in Ukraine and Sudan, and even in Israel and in communities in many places of the world as a result of mass killings. But God

promises that everyone whose name is found written in the book of life will be delivered according to Daniel. Glory to God for His faithfulness to us. Praise the name of the Lord.

So what should you do? As I said in the previous message get your house in order. Stop looking at and chasing the things of the world more than you chase after Jesus Christ the Lord. And now look to Jesus Christ the author and finisher of your faith. Repent before God with a broken and contrite heart. Cry out to Him that He may forgive

you your sins and stop sinning. Then run tell somebody to get their house in order. Tell as many as you can that the day of God's wrath has come that it is at our very doorstep.

Every day we see the clear evidence that trouble has come to Israel and Ukraine these bitter and violent conflicts have taken front and center stage on the world news in recent years. However more recently it is America's trouble that has stolen much of the spotlight along with its internal conflicts. America is now directly involved in Israel's war and is becoming greatly

entangled because Iran and the Muslim world are working along with the Houthies of Yemen and others to inflict maximum pain on both Israel and

America.

America's violent conflict with the Houthis of Yemen is the kind of entanglement involving the US that Iran has been hoping and praying for all along and it is real and it has come. The Houthies will continue being a thorn in America's side until America is forced to go in there for a ground assault and even as Iran continues to secretly fund wars against Israel and America by their proxies Hamas, Hezbollah the Houthis and other Middle Eastern players. They will continue their newly initiated discussion with America about never having a nuclear bomb in order to get a deal for themselves in Iran, but will they be genuine? Will they be truthful? Will they be honest? And can they trust America's president? In fact Iran may be thinking that they do not need nuclear weaponry because they have everything else that they need and no nation that has nukes are able to use them anyway. Yet they all want them as a deterrent.

Unfortunately as this message was being prepared reports came about a great explosion in Iran in which there were dozens killed and more than a thousand persons wounded.

The Israeli conflict with its Muslim neighbors is an unending war. I say that in the sense that no American president or any other great world leader can ever resolve it, or can ever bring peace to the Middle East according to Zechariah 14 and 2. Only the Lord Himself will bring it to an end. And even if a peace deal is brokered soon it will only be temporary. The only thing that will make Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis of Yemen and other haters of Israel happy is the complete eradication of Israel and this can never

happen.

Here is what the Lord says will happen to Israel. Israel will be plundered by its many neighbors and then the Lord will rescue and restore the nation. For the word of God says "Behold the day of the Lord is coming and your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem. The city shall be taken, the houses rifled, and the women ravished. Half of the city will go into captivity, but the remnant of the people will not be cut off from the city." And then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as He fights in the day of battle. This is what we're told in Zechariah. Finally He will give Israel the victory and the much longed for peace of Jerusalem shall come and the enemies of Israel will be defeated.

This word from Zechariah is clear evidence that peace can and will only come when the King of Kings becomes directly involved in the Middle Eastern conflict. And He will decisively bring it to a swift and glorious conclusion in favor of Israel and all who love Israel will rejoice. Presently America stands with Israel and this is the main policy that the US and its new president has going

for it. Along with its great military might, the fact that they support Israel caused them to be blessed. Still scripture makes it clear that all who bless Israel will be blessed. Therefore America and its current president will be blessed as long as they deal truthfully with Israel.

But will America remain by Israel's side faithfully no matter what comes down the pipeline? Will America get in the trenches with Israel when more than half of the population of America

becomes anti-Semitic, which seems about to happen. Will they have the stomach to remain steadfast with Israel in this long drawn out war against Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis of Yemen? With Iran in the background secretly supplying them with weapons, and fighters,

and with the quiet backing of China and Russia, can America remain true to its relationship with Israel while the country is split down the middle as a result of its divisive internal politics and a very unpopular president who would love to be a king. Will they be able to reign in their unpredictable president who has so far turned the world against America? Only time will tell if they will continue to stand with Israel or abandon God's chosen people to follow the dictates of Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia.

Zechariah 14:8-9 foretell the glorious conclusion of Israel's conflicts and the ushering in of the peace of Jerusalem. And in that day it shall be

that living water shall flow from Jerusalem. The word of God says, half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western sea in both summer and winter it shall occur says the word of God. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth. In that day it shall be the Lord is one, and His name is one. This living water flowing from Jerusalem is like the symbolism of the river of life of Revelation 22 and 1, in which the waters as clear as crystal flow from the throne of God. And whether the reference is the same or not the comforting thing is the fact that the Lord will be king over all the earth, over the entire earth in that day, glory hallelujah.

The battle has been fought on Israel's front for thousands of years because in the spiritual realm Israel is the city of God and is the future seat

of His throne. And Satan has been waging a war to try to bring down God's chosen people and His city because he's thinking that if he is able to destroy Israel he will succeed in defeating God's purpose for the earth and His kingdom will not come. And this is why we are instructed perhaps to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Our prayers therefore are important to this battle and when we pray in this manner, we are praying for God's spiritual city to prevail. We are praying for God's throne on earth to be established forever. And we are praying for God's kingdom to come. God bless you and keep you with His mighty power in

these difficult times.

Welcome friend to the body of believers in Christ. There are so many of us here awaiting the return of the Good Master. In the meantime we encourage you to become water baptized as quickly as possible. Let your pastor know that you have committed your life to Jesus Christ and you want to be baptized the way Jesus Christ was baptized. Begin reading the word of God

every day. Begin in the book of John then go to Matthew Mark and Luke reading audibly as often as possible, because faith comes by hearing the word of God. The more you hear it, the stronger will your faith become. Pray daily attend at your local church and one glad morning, the savior will come and receive us all unto Himself and we shall indeed forever be with the lord. God bless and keep you in the mighty name of His son Jesus Christ, amen.
