The Four Horsemen by Mike Evans

Almost a year has passed since terrorists from Iran set off a high-altitude nuclear explosion that destroyed the U.S. power grid, sending the eastern half of the country into darkness and chaos.  Since then, America has rediscovered its strength in agriculture and President Hedges has vowed to make it the centerpiece of the nation's economy. But across the globe, forces are gathering that threaten to undo America's fragile recovery. German chancellor Josef Mueller, under the sway of a pagan priest, is embroiled in a plot to control Middle Eastern oil reserves. With it, he hopes to dominate the world. And in Iran, a power shift has placed yet one more Islamic cleric in charge of the government, only this one has nuclear weapons at his disposal.

When China and Russia realize Germany's ultimate goal, they mobilize their armies for a bid to occupy the Middle East, while Iran readies a strike that will once again turn the world order upside down.  David Hoag, a CIA analyst, sees trouble brewing but can he convince the President to avoid the conflict, or will this be the final war everyone has feared?  This is the third book in a trilogy written by Mike Evans.  The Four Horsemen by Mike Evans is now available at Time Worthy Books.

The Pathology of Evil

The pathology of evil that crucified Christ two thousand years ago has mutated and taken a different seductive form in every generation. Since the attack on the World Trade Center complex in 2001, the evil of terrorism has lurked around every corner, under every rock, and behind every closed door.

Before 9/11, I pleaded with US leaders in high places to protect the World Trade Center. Why? I had been convinced for decades that it would be the target of the first attack on our soil. It wasn’t my analysis, but that of Isser Harel, head of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence organization. We had dinner on September 12, 1979, and I asked him if terrorism would ever come to America. He replied that it would, and the target would be America’s tallest building. The failed attempt in 1993 to bring the towers down was a fulfillment of Harel’s prophecy. Since then, I have held numerous meetings with both US and Israeli leaders about the strategies terrorists use to achieve maximum damage, and what can be done to thwart such attacks.

Evil had mutated, and because of that mutation, the unthinkable happened again on Monday, April 15, when one or more terrorists struck at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. It seems an unlikely target, and yet it did exactly what the perpetrator designed it to do: Kill the innocent, wreak havoc, and spread fear. Mission accomplished.

Now, law enforcement—FBI, ATF, Homeland Security—has been left with the task of trying to put the pieces together to determine who left at least two explosive devices planted at the finish line of the event.

Was it domestic terrorism? Was it international terrorism? Was it North Korea whose leader promised some kind of attack? Was it, as former CIA director James Woolsey told me in an interview several years ago, an Iranian-trained Hezbollah cell operating in the United States?

It has long been known that terrorists are crossing the border into the United States from Mexico and Canada, from where the 9/11 terrorists in large numbers entered the US. They seek only to inflict pain and retribution on “The Great Satan.”

On Tuesday, even President Obama used the “t” word when he said, “This was a heinous and cowardly act, and, given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism. And anytime bombs are used to target innocent civilians, it is an act of terror. What we don’t know yet is who carried out this attack—or why—whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization—foreign or domestic—or was the act of a malevolent individual.”

The FBI’s Boston Field Office Special Agent-in-Charge Richard DesLauriers vowed that investigators would go to the ends of the earth if necessary to find the individual or individuals responsible for the explosions in Boston. While no one has taken direct responsibility for Monday’s assault, the Pakistani Taliban was quick to deny any role in the bombings.

Of course, what we do know is that Iran has threatened that if the US continues to put pressure via sanctions and threats of an attack on its nuclear facilities, it would launch a wave of suicide bombers into the US. There is always the slim possibility there is a connection between Iran and one or more of its proxies and the heinous attack in Boston.

What terrorists of any ilk do not seem to comprehend is that while the act of terrorism struck fear in the hearts of some, others responded not by running away from the scene, but by running into the midst of the horror to help the wounded and dying. While evil may mutate and replicate, humanity multiplies and responds with heroic compassion.

Could Iran Buy Nukes From ... North Korea?

 I have just received what is frankly a terrifying update on the Iranian nuclear threat to Israel, and I had to share it with you immediately as a matter of urgent prayer.

The Obama Administration has been pushing the notion that there is still plenty of time to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon. This was the focus of much of the president’s meeting with my dear friend Prime Minister Netanyahu on Mr. Obama’s visit to Israel.

However, there is another Iranian nuclear option that could give the mullahs of Tehran atomic weapons not in months or years, but in just a few hours!

Most of Iran’s missile technology is based on the work done by China and North Korea. With the escalating crisis in Korea and the world boycott, a few analysts are studying the possibility of Iran buying already completed nuclear weapons from North Korea that would fit on Iran’s existing missiles and be ready for use immediately.

It is impossible to overstate how serious this threat is. When North Korea successfully conducted its third nuclear test a few weeks ago, top Iranian nuclear scientists were present as observers.

Iran has billions in oil wealth, and North Korea desperately needs the money to feed its starving people and build up its military forces.

The warheads could be placed on a cargo plane and flown to Iran in a matter of hours. Once there, they could quickly be assembled and Iran would have ready-to-use nuclear weapons. This is a match made in hell, and it poses a danger to Israel that is being completely overlooked by most of the world.

Today I am asking you to pray urgently and fervently for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of Israel. The world may be complacent about this danger, but we cannot afford to be.

Visit the Jerusalem Prayer Team Prayer Wall to pray for peace of Jerusalem.

And I am asking for your generous financial help to support the Jerusalem Prayer Team as we stand with the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.

We are working on the creation of the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center, and it is a massive undertaking. The amount of computer programming and production work required to make this an interactive, life-changing experience rather than just another museum is staggering. We are working with one the leading high-tech companies in the entire world that specializes in creating this kind of dynamic exhibition.

But this investment is worth making because of the importance of sharing the message of Christian love with the Jewish people. It is a tragedy that while we as Believers have been thrilled to hear these stories, almost no one in the nation of Israel knows them. As a result of the long history of persecution and murder carried out by people who claimed to be acting in the name of Christ, the Jewish people often think of Christianity as a religion that is hostile to their people.

While you and I know this is not an expression of true Christianity, this reality is not one we can avoid.

We must bring a new message—and we have a wonderful message to share with God’s Chosen People. Through the centuries, Believers have done so much; we simply must tell these stories. That is why the Righteous Gentiles Heritage Center museum is so important in the Jerusalem world Center in the heart of the Holy City.

When you step forward to help us make this dream a reality, we have several very special ways to express our appreciation.

What is Obama's Agenda for Israel?

by Mike Evans

Shalom from your Jerusalem World Center in the Holy City! I am here as your Ambassador this week during the Obama visit, so please pray for me.

Here's an inside view of why and what the President Obama is up to this week in Jerusalem:

1. President Obama's primary purpose in coming to Israel is to push PM Netanyahu for more time to allow diplomacy and economic penalties to run their course with Iran.

Netanyahu, in a speech to the United Nations in September, said Iran was about six months away from being able to build a bomb.

Obama told an Israeli television station this past week that the U.S. thinks it would take "over a year or so for Iran to actually develop a nuclear weapon." You can watch that Israeli TV interview here:

Obama will view an Iron Dome battery at the airport, part of the missile defense system the U.S. has helped pay for. This will be subtle signal to Israel that if you attack Iran you will lose America's support for the Iron Dome.

2. We are also expecting Obama to push the PM hard on the two-state solution to give up land for the Palestinian state, including the division of Jerusalem into two capitals. For more on this story, go here:
http://www.timesofisrael.com/netanyahu-and-his-partner-rivals/

3. The centerpiece of Obama's visit will be a speech in Jerusalem to an audience mainly of Israeli students. It's part of the President's effort to appeal to the Israeli public, particularly young people. Bypassing the Knesset, Obama will attempt to go directly to Israel's citizens. We'll see what the speech contains soon enough.

4. He will make several cultural stops, all steeped in symbolism, in the region. They include visits to the Holocaust memorial at Yad Vashem; Mount Herzl, where he'll lay wreaths at the graves of Theodor Herzl, and also the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.

5. Traveling to the West Bank, Obama will meet with Palestinian Authority President, Mahmoud Abbas, and his Prime Minister, Salam Fayyad, in Ramallah.

6. Finally, President Obama will make a 24-hour stop in Jordan too.

Please be in SERIOUS PRAYER over the next few days, as the events that unfold here shortly, will lay the framework for the U.S. relationship with Israel for many years to come.

Persia - The Final Jihad by Mike Evans

Persia. The very word evokes images of kings and princes and tales of Arabian nights, of Scheherazade, the teller of 1001 stories of cunning and derring-do.  However, Persia was not solely acclaimed for the tales of 1001 Arabian Nights, but for algebra, Backgammon, a postal service, military conscription, and advances in human rights.

The kingdoms of Persia and Babylonia inhabited the region that played host to the world's earliest civilizations. They are thought by most archaeological scholars to contain the site named in the Old Testament book of Genesis as the Garden of Eden.

Ur of the Chaldeans, the home of Abraham, was also a part of the region that was once Babylonia-later controlled by the Persians. The Persian population would eventually learn that it had exchanged one tyrannical ruler for another. Under Islamic rule the people would be forced to forsake the Persian language in favor of Arabic, which would become the sanctioned language of the Muslim world.

In 1935, Reza Shah Pahlavi the Great, asked the world to stop referring to his nation as Persia and instead call it Iran, "land of the Aryans." Today, Iran can best be described as a rogue nation with a tyrannical leader at its helm; one who is pursuing nuclear weapons with reckless abandon as part of his mission to annihilate the Jewish people and bring the United States to her knees. Its people will, unfortunately, be forced to reap the whirlwind sewn by Mr. Ahmadinejad and his ruthless followers.

Persia: The Final Jihad by Mike Evans, outlines the history of Persia long before Daniel or Esther. It sets the historical stage for modern-day Iran, and peels the layers from deceptions and lies of Iranian leaders.

Iran is pursuing nuclear weapons with reckless abandon as part of its mission to annihilate the Jewish people and bring the United States to its knees. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's unequivocally terroristic threats may be taken by world leaders as boasting and bullying; that could be a costly mistake.

The brightest minds globally are charged with finding a solution especially now that Iran is but the turn of a screwdriver away from an atomic bomb. The holy grail of understanding is that this is truly a battle between two books, two kingdoms, and two peoples. The good news is that a biblical solution is not only available, but accessible.

Having met with over fifty Iranian diplomats, past and present, including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi, former Ambassador to the US Ardeshir Zehadi, and the Empress Farah Diba, Dr. Evans is more convinced than ever that this is a spiritual battle of biblical proportions.

The Roar of the Lion of Judah

“As the lions roar, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will deliver it. Passing over, He will preserve it” (Isaiah 31:4-5).

Each time I read this Scripture, my heart leaps with joy. That is precisely what I have been doing for almost forty years—defending Jerusalem. I have stood up to terrorists face-to-face, men such as Yasser Arafat whom I confronted at the 43rd General Assembly of the United Nations. I've stood up to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, president of Iran, face-to-face in New York City at the United Nations.

For thirty-three years I have been writing books in defense of Israel. I have just completed my forty-first book. We have also produced eighteen television documentaries in defense of Israel. The Corrie ten Boom Holocaust Center in Haarlem, Holland has been part of our ministry since 1987 when we purchased it and restored it. I have served as chairman of the board since that time. Thanks to the Jerusalem Prayer Team, no one has ever had to pay a dime to visit the museum since it opened to the public in 1988.

Living in the F.O.G. (Favor of God) by Mike Evans

The revelation inside the pages of  Living in the F.O.G. (Favor of God)  by Mike Evans is life transforming. Until God gave me this revelation, I had no idea that Scriptures I had circled even as a child would have special significance in the years to come.

After having seen Jesus face-to-face at the age of eleven, I knew I wanted to hear His voice again. That is what sparked this amazing search. I learned through this revelation how to hear the voice of God again and again-through His Word.

As a little boy who desperately wanted approval, and was accustomed to nothing but rejection, I could very easily have lived my life compromising to gain acceptance. But this revelation has kept me from doing that. Instead, I have sought Divine affirmation - to turn my equity into currency, and my influence into favor.

The thing that frightened me most was not that I was inadequate, but that I felt with my whole heart that I was called to manifest the light of God. I realized that staying small would not serve my world. Shrinking to accommodate my critics would not transform the world around me. The words of the prophet Jeremiah cried out to me: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."

May the Spirit of God open your eyes to this revelation! Once you get it, you will refuse to be obsessed with what you're going through; you will be obsessed with what you are going to.
