Will the Back Wall of the Economic Hurricane hit in July 2009? Part B/C

Part B: The unique, esoteric and perhaps prophetic information. It points to WHEN something may happen. It points to July 2009.

Time will tell if the following information has a strong predictive value or not, especially when considered together with the information presented in Part A and Part C.

I am not alone in describing what economic disaster may lie ahead in our future. Far from it! In fact, a large number of books specifically warning us of the upcoming depression have been published. An example of a “what – will – happen” opinion given by a person with an extremely good historical track record is that of Gerald Celente, the CEO of Trends Research Institute. Celente accurately predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union. On November 13, 2008, Celente forecasted that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.

In addition, I receive at least a half dozen emails every day warning of a looming dollar collapse with associated hyperinflation. However, opinions are all over the board as to how and when this potential scenario may play out.

When looking into the future, knowing the what, the when and the how about a major future event is probably the most powerful combination of information. The information in Part B suggests when a major event may start to happen.

If my thinking is correct, the event should be associated with a God ordained change in the current world order. It most likely will come in a form of judgment against America that will mark a permanent adverse change. The actual event of the July 2009 time frame could be economic, geopolitical or some combination of both. The event may or may not be readily apparent in July. It is possible that we may need to go into August and then look back to July to say with certainty,

“Yeah, that was when we the change actually started.”

My initial focus on July 2009 began almost two years ago. This is why:

A few months after July 2007, I noted that the S&P 500 index of the stock market had a major topping pattern on July 13, 16, 17, 19. All top price values were 1555. I noted that numerical digits contained in the date 7/19/2007 when rearranged formed 77/2019. Why did I notice this?

Simply because these two numbers are the focus of the main chapter of my book that was already in progress. And as I describe in my upcoming book, God may be using these numbers to point to an extremely important event involving movement starting from above descending downward to earth.

As a top in the stock market, these numbers were consistent with this type of action. After the 7/19/2007 stock market top was historically confirmed, I looked for the next time these same numbers would show up. This is July 2009. 7/17/2009 contains the same digits as 7/19/2007. (The order of a “7” and a “9” in the dates are simply rearranged) I knew that if July 2009 would also be associated with some kind of top in the financial markets, then it would add support to my hypothesis that God may be using numbers associated with these two stock market tops to point to the 77/2019 numerical pair, which again also illustrates a type of top. This top will be described fully in my upcoming book.

In addition the range of 2013 to 2019 is meaningful to me on the basis of other knowledge I have received since 2004. I am sorry but I cannot share why this information is meaningful to me now in this article. It is too complicated and will take us off course for the purpose of this article.

I also noted that 2019 is the Jewish year 5779. This ends in ’79.

Had I published my book in 2008, as I originally wanted to do, the first two bullets points above would have been all the information about July 2009 that I would have been available to share. But, the delay in publishing has allowed for more recent information to come available. These more recent shorter-term pieces of the puzzle are potentially beneficial because they increase the predictive probability of the forecast. It is analogous to the difference between trying to forecast the weather a year and a half ahead of time vs. forecasting the weather for tomorrow. The latter should be more accurate.

“The Obama Stock Market Rally” and 666.79.

On March 4, 2009, Obama addressed the media and stated the he thought it was a “good time to buy stocks.” Prior to his statement earlier that morning the Euro hit a significant bottom vs. the US Dollar. I believe that no President would dare to stick his neck out to call a stock market bottom unless people that control extremely large sums of money told him that it was a sure thing. Time has proven that Obama did give correct information.

Two days later, on March 6, 2009 the S&P 500 hit an intraday low of 666.79.

Many people made note of the 666. I did also. But I also noted the “.79”. Why did “.79” stick out to my mind? For several reasons.

First reason: An existing precedence. I had seen God use the stock market to the hundredth decimal point in the recent past. I believe this to be a form of communication from God to those who will listen. September 2008 in the Gregorian calendar occurred in the Jewish year 5768. On September 29, 2008, when the Congress failed to pass the bail out plan the first time, many noted that the DOW fell 777 points and thought that it may be associated with God’s numerical signature on the market. From the Bible we know that God uses 7’s to mark an act of Divine completion in the earth realm. Randall Russell, the host of this web site, was the individual who noted that the precise drop was 777.68. He noted that day was the very last day of the Jewish year ending in ’68! If the market had fallen any other amount on any other day, week, or month, the exact price drop would have been meaningless. My shock was that God was “on board” with America’s financial meltdown, (i.e. He allowed the financial collapse to happen!). If people still doubted that God put his numerical initials on the market drop with 777, it appears that He underscored this truth with the inclusion of the .68 as if to say, “Do you still not believe?”

Second reason: I noticed the “.79” in the 666.79 stock market bottom as I had already been focused on July 2009 as detailed earlier, which of course is 7/2009 or 7/9.

Third reason: I recalled that many people in the world had already associated Obama with 666 on the day he was proclaimed to be the winner of the US Presidency. On 11/5/08, it happened through of all things, the Illinois winning lottery numbers! So I rechecked the numbers and when I did, I found again 666 associated with 79! The following are the extremely unusual sequence of winning lottery numbers in the very state (Illinois), in the very city Obama is from (Chicago), and on the very day he was proclaimed president elect, November 5, 2008:

• 11/05/2008 Evening Pick 3: 6-6-6 ( = mark of the beast)

• 11/05/2008 Evening Pick 4: 7-7-7-9 (Note triple 7’s and the 79 ending)

• 11/05/2008 Midday Pick 3: 7-7-9 (Note the 79 ending)

It is equally important to point out that this numerical sequence did not occur in other state’s winning lottery numbers. Verify these yourself at:

The Illinois Lottery

So here we have Obama associated in two diverse strange ways with 666 and 79. What does this mean? Time will tell fully, but for now the question keeps on coming up to me:

“Is God trying to communicate something to us about July 2009?”

Because of the accurate timing call of the March 2009 stock market bottom (which hit 666.79), I refer to the rally that started at this bottom as

“The Obama Stock Market Rally”.

“The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis” and July 7 – 9, 2009: An Analysis of a Time Cycle Currently Present in the Stock Market:

“The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis”: “The Obama Stock Market Rally” that started at a low of 666.79 will fail to close above 1001.84, the price level high that was recorded when Obama was proclaimed, “President elect” on 11/5/2008, the other date that 666.79 was associated with Obama via Illinois winning lottery numbers. It is in this respect that the rally will be defined as a failed rally. Also included in this hypothesis is the assertion that in July 2009 we will either see this rally start to fail or will see confirmation that it has failed.

Supportive information used to construct the hypothesis: In the Bible, a recurrent numerical theme is that “6” falls short of “7”. “6” is associated with an effort of man, which falls short of God’s perfection on earth which in turn He numerically marks with ”7’s”. As an effort of men, the Obama rally was marked numerically with three “6”s and thus it will also fail. Moreover, and more specifically, “666” in the Bible is well known as the number associated with the mark of the beast.

Revelation 13:16-18 – “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”

Interpretive speculation: Therefore, “666.79” is associated with an effort of man and foreshadows a rally that will fail. This failed rally might also be associated with some sort of final judgment by God because God often uses the number 9 to represent a final judgment. “.79” may be interpreted as a completed act of God in the earth realm (7) that takes form in a final judgment (9) . Whether or not the “.79” has an additional meaning that points to the timing of 7/9 or July 2009 remains to be proven or disproven.

The failure of the rally that started at 666.79 also might be associated with key events that will in time lead to the implementation of the mark of the beast, as suggested by “666”. If the mark of the beast is associated with a global cashless currency, then a dollar collapse logically has to happen at some point. The mark of the beast Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled one way or another.

A Time Cycle Currently Present in the Stock Market: Time cycles shown in the chart linked below support a good probability that some sort of major fast movement in the stock market will begin in the 7/ 7 – 9 / 2009 time window.

“The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis” and July 7 – 9, 2009
(Click Link For Large View)

This time cycle information present in the stock market is supportive of the other information that has been made known to me over the past 1.5 years that focuses in on July 2009.

Note of Caution about Time Cycles in stock markets: These cycles often fail for a multitude of possible reasons. This is why it is so important to consider ALL the information available regarding July 2009.

Current status of “The Obama Stock Market Rally”:

As can be seen in the chart linked above, the highest the S&P 500 index has been since the March 2009 is 956.23, which it hit on June 11 or 6/11/09. It is now July 3, 2009 and the S&P 500 index has fallen to 898. In order for the rally to invalidate “The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis”, the index will need to reach greater than 1001.84 before the next major downward leg of the market begins. The next major downward leg may or may not have already started. Nobody knows yet.

It is possible that the Obama Rally stock market top has already hit its peak price on 6/11/09 because the market it now looking weak and from the perspective of God’s numbers, “6” is an effort of man that fails by “11” an unwise group of people in God’s eyes, hence 6/11. I am just pointing out the curious consistency in God’s common use of the numbers 6 and 11 and the fact that the maximum top the rally has achieved thus far occurred on that date, not 6/10 nor 6/12 etc.

Timing Relationship between the “The Obama Stock Market Rally Failure” and an Adverse Event for America:

If there is no major world event this July 4th weekend, like North Korea successfully sending a nuclear missile to Hawaii, then there might be a “relief” rally sending the index higher into the time window of July 7th to July 19th.

A major adverse geopolitical or economic event most likely will not occur at the same exact time a stock market index puts in a significant top. A price top could already be in as of 6/11/09 and the adverse event could occur in the month of July 2009. Or a stock market price top could still occur in July 2009 and the major adverse event not manifest until August 2009.

Only God knows for sure and perhaps the power elites of the world have a good idea about when such things will occur.

“233”, the 13th Fibonnacci number, and America

On July 4, 2009, America will be 233 years old. This number to most people is meaningless. But I recognized it has important because of my knowledge background. “233” is not only a Fibonacci number, but it is also the 13th number in the Fibonacci sequence. Thirteen is the number of the priest and high priest in the Bible (another chapter in my book). The Fibonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144, 233… The next number in the sequence is 377. So you can see that there are very large gaps from either side of 233 to the adjacent Fibonacci numbers in the sequence (144 and 377). Therefore, this year is a rare Fibonacci birthday for America.

Fibonacci numbers are ubiquitously present throughout creation and numerically support intelligent design, the existence of a Creator. As such, it is rational and appropriate to include this unique observation in an article that examines God’s use of numbers in our world today.

Interpretation: America had been God’s main nation on this earth to spread the Gospel. When there was no Israel, America was the priestly nation shining God’s light to the world. Befittingly, it started with 13 colonies, the priestly number, and was born in the seventh month as completed act of God in the earth realm. As of July 4th, 2009, (7/4/09) America will have completed its priestly cycle of 13 and will somehow be drastically changed. Unfortunately, it looks like this change will come in the form of a negative judgment. At this time, look at our published debt which is $11 trillion. God most often uses the number 11 in association with an unwise group of people.

July 9, 2009 and the 17th of Tammuz: The breaking of stone

More diverse evidence that points to July 2009:

It just so happens that this July 9, 2009 on the Gregorian calendar is also the 17th of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar. The last time these dates matched up was 46 years ago in 1963. So it doesn’t happen that often and therefore is worthy of special attention as we look for convergences of information.

Recurrent Theme: The crashing down and breaking of things made of stone:

The 17th of Tammuz begins the Three Weeks of Sorrow for the Jewish people. According to the Mishnah (Tractate Ta’anit 4:3) specific tragedies occurred on this date in the Jewish calendar. All are associated with man’s breach of God’s laws and/or of His relationship with Him. The first 17th of Tammuz tragedy occurred on the very day that Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the first set of stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God. Upon seeing the idol worship of the golden calf, Moses threw down and broke these stone tablets. Also on very day this day in 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian forces breached the defensive stone walls of Jerusalem after many months of siege. And again on this very same day in 70 AD, the defensive stone walls of Jerusalem were again broken down and breached. This time it was by the Romans.

An important side note: Do you all see how God orchestrates common symbolic themes in time? One of the reasons God does this is to help you know that He really does exist and that He is the master of time. He is reaching out to you. Ensure that you are reaching back to Him!

Interpretative Questions:

• Will July 9, 2009 / 17th of Tammuz mark the very day in which we will be able to see some major American guarantee be broken to pieces?
• Will it be something all Americans had trusted to be “written in stone”?
• Will America’s idol worship of its primary god, money, be analogous to the golden calf of Moses’ day?
• Will this break of a guarantee take the form of the beginning of the dollar plunge and/or a major break of our US Constitution?

“79” shows up in the World Population for July 2009, too? YES! Another Bizarre Diverse Confirmation?

I have been following the world population for many years now, so I am not just picking out this number out of thin air to try to support my observations about “79”. I hadn’t checked the number for at least 6 months, but when I check it recently here is what I found: It just so happens that this July 2009 the world population clock places the value at:

6.79 Billion. 07/09 (6,790,062,216)

Note also the close similarity of 6.79 to the 666.79 of the Obama Stock Market Rally and of the Illinois winning lottery numbers. Taking into account all of the information presented above thus far, I can’t with good conscience explain away the convergence of similar numbers. What’s up with all the numerical convergences on 7/09?! Perhaps these diverse associations will turn out to be invalid, but time will render a definitive verdict very soon.

US Census Bureau: World POPClock

Additional Confirmations?

With all above information, my wife strongly encouraged me to pray for personal confirmation about the focus on “79” for two main reasons:

1. On the surface, the whole “79” thing looks crazy and
2. It may be wrong. I agreed on all points.

So I asked God for personal confirmations and I believe I did receive them. Here is one apparent personal confirmation.

When on call for my anesthesiology duties one night at a local hospital, I had just finished bringing my patient to the recovery room. The patient had done very well. It was on my heart to share with one of the nurses the caution about the potential upcoming storm. I started to tell her, but then I stopped and told her “No, never mind. It will sound crazy to you.” Immediately after this I realized I was missing an information sheet on my patient. So I then asked the nurse if she would print one for me from the computer. She went to the computer and printed out a sheet. But when I looked at the sheet, I realized that she had printed information that was on the wrong patient. This information had nothing to do with patient care. The names were very similar, but still it was the wrong patient. Then my eyes for some reason went down to the birth date on the sheet. That birth date was July 9 (7/9)! So, I said,

“Wow! I guess this is a confirmation that I had just prayed to receive! And I guess I am supposed to share this information with you!”

And so I did.

Two other notes from the world scene that may or may not be coincidence. The biggest stories I heard on the news during the fourth week of June 2009 was on the uprising in Iran, the Islamic Revolution of ’79 and the tragic death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, who reportedly also died in debt. Michael Jackson was the 7th of 9 children in the family.

Conclusion of Part B: The collection of unique, esoteric and perhaps prophetic information I have been given and shared with you above not only is consistent with how God often uses the numbers 7 and 9 in the Bible, but also highly suggests a window of time we should focus on.

If the back wall of the economic hurricane is going to hit, this information might point to when it will happen. It is this collection of diverse information that distinguishes this article from all other articles that you may find published elsewhere. July 7 to 9, 2009 is the center of the time window. A wider time window of caution is warranted as storms may come early or late in any given season of time. Therefore, I suggest that July 1 to 19, 2009 is a window of time to watch for something dramatic to occur.

There is one other specific date, I would also watch. This is July 30th, which corresponds to the 9th of Av in the Jewish calendar. If this window of time passes and nothing happens, then we move on. Part B will not have a ready explanation other than that the above associations were weak and invalid additions to the information presented in Part A. The information in Part A, however, will remain strong and valid until proven otherwise.

The reason I am sharing this information is my believe that if the information is God inspired, then I do not think He would want to keep it only for my benefit. Instead, He would want me to share the information with people as a testimony that He is the master and creator of time, He is in full control, and He also is using numbers in the world around us today to communicate with those who will listen.

Part C: Putting forth my best speculation on how and when the next stage of the economic collapse will occur, if it happens.

Will the Back Wall of the Economic Hurricane hit in July 2009? Part A/C

A 3 part article by Michael Magee, MD

Introduction

I remember a story my Dad once told me that happened in the early 1960’s. It was a very foggy morning in Pittsburgh, PA. He heard an automobile crash on the road down the hill from our house. Knowing the danger for others, he grabbed some flares and ran down to the road. He lit the flares and began waiving them above his head. But, to his horror the oncoming drivers did not heed the warning! One by one, he saw the cars pass by. He then heard their brakes screech and then the crash of metal on metal. He told me a sixty car pile up had occurred. He had done the best he could.

It is in this spirit, well over forty years later, that I write this letter warning of a potential danger immediately ahead.

The world has experienced an unprecedented economic storm over the past year. Some are claiming that the worst is over and we are now recovering. However, as with real hurricanes, those who are physically in the eye of the storm do not know it and are fooled into believing the storm as past. Then unexpectedly to them, the back wall of the hurricane hits with sudden fury. This article warns that we are currently in the eye of an economic hurricane and that the back wall of the storm will soon hit.

Disclaimer
The conclusions drawn from the information presented below may not turn out to be correct.

Purpose

Why am I writing this article? This article contains unique information associated in such a way that I believe you will not find anywhere else in the world.

This unique information points to when a major event may happen to America. Most importantly, if it turns out to be correct, its contribution will be to illustrate one example of how God is using numbers in the world today to talk with His people.

The urgency of getting this message out now

The unique information points to July 2009, next month.

It is much more meaningful and powerful to state accurately and share something before it happens compared to providing rationale why something happened after the fact.

Organization of this article

The information presented below is a lot of information for anyone to absorb. Therefore, I have broken the information up into 3 main sections.

Part A will review the information that is already known by millions and yet not known by billions. Most of this information is not covered by the mainstream media. The information in Part A will be presented in an order that starts with “the big picture” of longer time frames and ends with more recent news headlines. Part A deals primarily with what has happened in the past and what is happening now.

Part B will contain the unique information I have been given. It deals primarily with when something of major significance may happen in the near future.

Part C will contain my best speculation on what, when and how a significant turning point event might happen. I do not expect the completion of whatever this event is until 2010. So we will be talking about a potential event initiated in July 2009 and ending at least six or seven months later.

The types or categories of information contained and their integrated usage within the article

You will soon see that I will be integrating different types or categories of information, as a technique to solve a puzzle of future events. For example, geopolitical information will be tied to economic and financial information, which in turn may also be linked to Biblical prophetic information, which in turn may be linked to secular historical information. Historical information from years ago will be associated with historical information that just happened this month. The unique or esoteric information I will be sharing may act as the glue that puts these different pieces of information together.

The final accuracy of this entire warning is dependent on whether or not I am correct in making links between the different pieces of information.

Part A: What has happened and What is happening: Information that is already known by millions, but not by billions.

I am going to string these facts together so you can follow the information trail. Please read closely. Going from the largest perspective with a longer time frame down to the smaller perspective with a shorter time frame:

The Bible tells us through symbolic language that the earth will be in an one world government when Christ returns. Unwittingly, those who advocate the completion of a new world order may not be fully aware of this. These people will be successful in implementing their new world order, but in the end, all their efforts will go catastrophically awry. They will fail as all efforts of men eventually do apart from the will of God.

William Benton, US Assistant Secretary of State in 1946 states in a meeting of UNESCO, an organization of the United Nations,

“As long as a child breathes the poisoned air of nationalism, education in world mindedness can produce only precarious results. As we have pointed out it is frequently the family that infects the child with extreme nationalism…The schools should therefore combat family attitudes that favor nationalism as opposed to globalism…We are at the beginning of a long process of breaking down the walls of national sovereignty…”. 1

James Paul Warburg, before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on February 17, 1950 states,

“We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or by consent.” 1

Judging by how much those who are in power are trashing our US Constitution today, it looks like they are implementing their conquest option.

Now where was James Paul Warburg coming from? Well, his father was Paul Warburg. Paul Warburg was a key player in the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 and was the founding director of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) in 1921. The CFR is a private club of political elites. You might ask,

“Are the Federal Reserve Bank and the CFR linked in some way?”

Answer: Yes.

Over the past 50 years, over 50% of all Presidential cabinet members have also been members of the CFR.1 Therefore, here is the line of powerful influence: International bankers, CFR members in cabinet, US President. Republican or Democratic President: it doesn’t make much difference. The Obama administration is no exception. Despite his campaign promise to get rid of Washington insiders, most of his cabinet members are former Clinton cabinet members.

Richard Gardner, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the April 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine, the official publication of the CFR writes,

“We are likely to do better by building our house of world order from the bottom up rather than from the top down. An end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, is likely to get us the world order faster than the old fashioned frontal assault.” 1

They care more about ”new world order”(NWO)… a global government than they do about American sovereignty.

BTW… Gardner took his own life on May 25, 2003 (Source)

Strobe Talbott, one year before he became the US Deputy Secretary of State under Clinton 1993-2000, wrote in the July 20, 1992 edition of Time Magazine an article entitled, America Abroad: The Birth of a Global Nation. In this article, he states as an optimistic guess that sometime within the 21st century (our century now),

“…nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority.”

After 2000, Strobe Talbott became the president of the Brookings Institute. Out of this institute comes Susan Rice, Obama’s US Ambassador to the UN.

The global warming agenda is not an inconvenient truth, but a purposeful lie. It is a deception that is being utilized by the elites to try to get everyone in the world united on common theme…”We all breathe air, don’t we?” From this theme, the plan is to issue worldwide laws that will supersede national laws and sovereignty, thereby incrementally ushering their new world order, which is world government.

As a stage immediately preceding full implementation of a one world government, the Bible may be describing the existence of ten economic and political entities on the earth. The European Union with its common currency, the Euro, may be one of these ten. (The ten toes in Daniel 2:42.) The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperative (APEC) formed in 1994 and the African Union (2002) could be two others. The North American Community or Union described below may be another soon to come into reality. A dollar collapse may be the planned panic event that is used as the rationale to trick the American public to accept this union.

The Bible clearly foretells the scattering of the Jewish people from their homeland Israel to the four corners of the earth and in the last days a physical rebirth of this nation, which did happen in 1948. From 70 AD to 1948, there was no Israel.

The Bible clearly foretells that in the last of days that the large majority if not all nations will oppose Israel. We see this happening more and more in the news every day now.

The Bible clearly foretells that Christ will return during the time of one specific generation that unlike all others preceding it will see and experience an unique [exponential implied] growth in knowledge and in travel. Only the generation of today has ever fulfilled these criteria. Daniel 12.

The Bible clearly foretells a time in which no man rich or poor, free or slave may buy or sell without a number. This reality is not currently in place, but technologically is possible as the world moves to a cashless society and uses only numerical codes to make financial transactions. The most obvious example of this reality is the ever-expanding use of credit cards.

Robert R. Prechter, Jr. has made the historical observation (Amazon References) that in a huge secular collapse normally the first stage collapse is economic and it occurs before the second stage during which major wars occur. The last historical example we see is the economic collapse of the Great Depression, which created the right environment for the rise of Adolph Hitler. After the economic collapse World War II occurred.

We are currently in the worse economic collapse since the 1930’s Great Depression. We are most likely in the first stage of collapse, and it may not yet be over.

The destruction power of mankind is much greater now and more widely available among many countries than existed in the 1940’s when World War II occurred. Over 52 million people died in World War II.

The Bible foretells of a war the will kill 1/3 of all mankind. At the current world population level this would equate to over 2.2 billion people. This would occur in the second stage of a secular collapse.

The United States of America is in more debt than it ever has been and now is spending and printing more money than in any time in its history.

In a June 16, 2009 newsletter Forecasts & Trends, Gary D. Halbert records,

“Using the Obama administration’s own projections, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that, including the record 2009 budget deficit of $1.85 trillion, and huge annual deficits over 2009- 2019 will result in an additional $11.11 trillion in national debt, on top of the current $11.4 trillion.”

The “Federal Reserve” Bank, which prints the US Dollar, now has to buy US Treasury Notes to make up for the lack of buyers willing to continue to finance our debt.

Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744 -1812), the godfather of the Rothschild Banking Cartel of Europe, has infamously been quoted as saying,

“Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes the laws.”

The founding Fathers of this country specifically warned about what would happen if private bankers ever got control of the issuance of money in the country they had just founded. Thomas Jefferson knowing about the Rothschild’s European banking cartel warned about them in an 1802 letter to then Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin:

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” (Quote Reference)

This country through knowledgeable and brave men had managed to block many attempts by the private banking families to fully gain a long term control over this nations money supply until 1913.

In the 1912 Presidential election, the Morgan Bank financed a third party candidate to split the Republican Party vote. Teddy Roosevelt was that candidate and the third party was the Bull Moose Party. This allowed Woodrow Wilson to win and repay the banking cartel with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The vote was slipped through Congress after many had already left for home on Christmas Eve. The practice by Congress of “slipping things into bills” is rampant today.

The Federal Reserve Bank created by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 is a private banking cartel and the United States Government has no real power over it. Its use of “Federal” in its name is a deliberate deception. It is no more part of the US Government than is Federal Express. See the video “Monopoly Men” and read the book “The Creature from Jekyll Island”.

There truly exists a group of global elitists that control the majority of major events that happen in the world. They must operate behind the scenes in order to be successful and they are very good and experienced in their methods. They are the most powerful people on this earth.

These global elitists and the following entities are strongly related: The Federal Reserve, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the Bilderberg Group.

In 2001, Robert Pastor, a prominent member of the Council on Foreign Relations, published the book, Towards a North American Community, in which he passionately advocates the creation of an economic and security zone that unites Canada, The United States, and Mexico. Included is the advocation of a common single currency in this zone (pp. 111 – 115). Look closely at his choice of words written back in 2001:

“This [creating a common currency in North America] is a significant proposal, but also one that will take substantial time for the elites and the public to digest and consider seriously.” (bold italics added for emphasis by me. He is admitting to the existence of the elites!)

In March 2005, the Council on Foreign Relations publishes their Chairman’s Statement entitled Creating a North American Community. On page 6 of this document they advocate

“to craft an agenda for the future, we propose the creation by 2010 of a community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity for all North Americans.… The boundaries of the community would be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter. “

Keep this truth prominently in your mind: Back in 2005, the elites wanted to have accomplished their goals by the year 2010. This is now only six months away. Also note their advocation of “an outer security perimeter”. They do not want a secure border between Mexico and the United States. (Article Source)

In May 2005, the CFR task force published Building a North American Community. In this document, they advocate the creation of “a North American economic space” and “spreading the benefits of economic development”. This spreading of the wealth predates Obama’s slip of his true agenda during his campaign and is even bigger than the office of the President of the United States. Listen to their language:

“NAFTA has transformed Mexico, but it has also deepened and made much more visible the divisions that exist in the country…The United States and Canada should establish a North American Investment Fund to encourage private capital flow into Mexico.” (Article Source)

In June 2005, Robert A. Pastor testified before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The title of this testimony is A North American Community Approach to Security. As in the March 2005 publication listed above, Pastor again advocated defending a continental perimeter. This means defending the northern border of Canada and the southern border of Mexico. Also, listen to his choice of elitist words as if he and others know better what is best for the American public at large.

“The U.S., Mexican, and Canadian governments remain zealous defenders of an outdated conception of sovereignty even though their citizens are ready for a new approach.” Page 7

Who is he, or others like him (elitists) to decide what our concept of sovereignty should be? My concept of national sovereignty is to follow and faithfully defend the original Constitution of the United States! And secondly, did he take a vote to support his assertion that “their citizens are ready for a new approach”? They are making this up to support in their words “an agenda”.

In 2006, one year later, it just so happened that there became a public outcry to secure the US – Mexican border! But one year earlier, the elites had already decided they wanted only a outer continental security perimeter and any imposition of a secure border within this defined land mass would be contrary to their agenda. Now you really know why, despite the huge public outcry to secure the US – Mexican border, nothing was done! The public wanted something done, but the elites did not. Who won?

First written in the 1990’s, the second chapter of the book The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin forewarns that in the future the banking elite cartel will utilize one of their favorite tactics to grow their wealth and power at others expense: The Bailout. The title of the second chapter is: “The Name of the Game is Bailout.” This tactic has now been implemented as planned just as this chapter described it would be. The Federal Reserve and governmental responses to the current economic melt down are at a minimum fully opportunistic and most assuredly driven by the banking cartels. Worse yet, is the potential that the conditions that created the environment for financial bubbles to form may have been encouraged by the banking cartel, although I have absolutely no proof of this.

March of 2008. Over the weekend when the stock markets were not open, the Federal Reserve and Chase Morgan Bank announced a behind the doors deal that they were going to be so gracious as to buy Bear Sterns at a generous $2 per share. The Bear Sterns stock price had closed on Friday one day earlier near $29 per share. No other banks were offered the opportunity to bid on Bear Sterns. If you knew who owns the Federal Reserve and the majority of Chase Morgan, you too would had done a double take immediately as I did at that time. The owners are said to be the same international banking families.

In July and early August of 2008, a pastor named Lindsey Williams appears on several radio programs around the country. He is the author of the book, The Energy Non-Crisis. He claimed (and is still claiming today) that one of the world elites had called him and threatened him if he did not make some changes to his story. Shortly after Pastor Williams complied with the elite’s demands, the elite told him ahead of time about the collapse in the price of oil and the financial collapse that was soon to start. In the month of July crude oil topped at $149 per barrel. Pastor Williams was told it was going down to $50 and very fast. History now shows that this part of the information Pastor Williams was told really did happen. In fact, crude dropped close to $30 per barrel and was held under $50 until recently. The second part of the information that Pastor Williams states the elite had told him has not yet happened. It is the collapse of the US Dollar. Just as the agenda back in Pastor’s 2001 book described. Does any of us have information suggesting the dollar will not collapse that is stronger than what Lindsey Williams was told was going to happen?

The remainder of 2008 is plagued with unprecedented bailouts and collapses of many financial institutions around the world.

May 14 -17, 2009. The annual Bilderberg meeting was held in Athens, Greece. This was a highly secretive meeting of the world elite. Word is that one of the topics to be resolved was whether to make the current still unfolding economic crisis a long term depression like the 1930’s or make it a nasty shorter depression from the depths of which they would promote a faster recovery. Supposedly the nasty shorter depression won out. Stayed tuned and prepare for the back wall of the economic hurricane to hit. It is a planned event.

May 14, 2009. On Israel’s birthday, ‘Obama warns Netanyahu: “Don’t surprise me with an Iran strike!”’ I believe that when the Israeli strike occurs, Obama has already planned his means of deflecting any blame away from himself. Happy birthday Israel!

May 27, 2009. Obama, just as predicted in the scenario I’ll discuss in Part C of this article, took credit for the economic recovery in a speech. Under the deception scenario I will put forth, I expect he will have to take more credit immediately before the crash starts. So expect the markets to be even higher by July 7 – 9, 2009 than it was at the end of May.

May 28, 2009. Arab oil leaders said,

“$75 – $80 a barrel is a fair price for crude.”

Possible Translation: Don’t think it’s unusual if crude oil is at this price range at the final top of the current stock market rally. If true, it would be the insider’s way of disguising their positioning before a major oil super spike.

June 1, 2009. A federal judge approved “giving away” most of Chrysler’s assets to Fiat. Interesting: Note the English definition of fiat –an arbitrary order or decree (Source: The American Heritage Dictionary, 1983). Since America abandoned the gold standard for its currency, the paper dollar is also called a fiat currency, an arbitrary order or decree. Is there prophetic symbolism between the Chrysler give away of wealth to the give away of the value of the American dollar that is occurring?

With the dollar dropping in value in the currency markets for the month of May 2009 and major nations openly urging the replacement of the US Dollar as the world’s main reserve currency, both the Obama Administration and Federal Reserve launched the dollar PR campaign. When the dollar does crash, they both want to make sure it seems like “an accident” and not in any way their fault.

June 1, 2009. Geitner goes to China. There,

“Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner practically got laughed off the stage in China recently when he said China’s $768 billion of U.S. denominated assets were ‘very safe.’ The Chinese see the dollar’s in grave danger…” (Article Source)

Jun 3, 2008. Fed chief Bernanke defended the dollar. The tough talk was intended to put floor under greenback according to analysts. (Article Source)

June 22, 2009. Obama deflected blame away from the Federal Reserve. CNBC quoted Obama saying,

“It was not the FED where financial regulations broke down.”

June 18, 2009. The NY Times reported on proposals to give the Federal Reserve even more power! This flies in the face of House bill HR 1207 that is working its way through Congress to audit and maybe abolish the Federal Reserve. Who will win? Or will it become a moot point soon as a new North American Banking Reserve is created out of the potential upcoming crisis? (Article Source)

June 2, 2009. Obama invited Iranian envoys to US Embassies for Four of July parties! This had recently been referred to by some as “Hotdog Diplomacy”. (Article Source)

June 2, 2009. Israel held it’s largest civil defense drills in the country’s history. I speculate that part of the elite’s plan is for Israel to attack Iran.

June 3, 2009. Israel foreign minister spoke to the news media in Moscow and stated, “We do not intend to bomb Iran…” Having said this, I bet the Russians are going to be very irate if the Israelis do end up bombing Iran soon. This would make some sense; however, as some time in the future the Bible is fairly clear that it will be Russia that leads a coalition of nations against the nation of Israel. Ezekiel 38 & 39 (Battle of Gog and MaGog).

In June 2009, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative was fully implemented. This mandate is one that was never considered by Congress yet fully implemented into “law”. Its rules govern travel documents between Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, the Caribbean region and the United States of America. This is the exact same land region described four years earlier in the North American Community agenda documents above. I believe it is hard evidence that despite significant public awareness of what is going on behind the scenes, the elitist agenda is in the process of being fully implemented. (Article Source)

June 24, 2009. Obama stated that we will absolutely pass (socialized) health care this year. Congress is slated to go on vacation Friday, July 17th. If they shove health care down the throats of Americans by then, will the crash start in earnest that weekend?

Conclusion of Part A: The elites of the world have clearly been working towards the creation of a one-world government for many years now. They are patient, driven, and powerful. They have more wealth at their disposal than a thousand Bill Gates and Warren Buffets combined! They heavily control the mainstream media. They strive on public conflict by using it not only to their economic advantage, but also to focus the attention of the public on anywhere and everywhere but on them.

“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” as depicted in the Wizard of Oz movie.

Yes, they must operate clandestinely. Yet they publish much of their intentions by various means, except through mainstream media. Perhaps this is some internal moral code or rationalization:

“Oh, well, we did tell you what we were going to do!”

Could this attitude be their moral equivalent of Mein Kampf? They are persistent from one generation to the next. They will work in small steps they refer to as incrementalism, but will rush in quickly to take full advantage of panics and crises that they may even help to engineer. Haven’t we seen these over the past year?

A North American Union may be part of ten eventual economic and political unions on the earth that precede a fully implemented one-world government. A collapse of the US Dollar is a stated goal of the world elites and may be the final nail in the US Constitution they use to achieve it. It seems like they are well in the process of simply implementing their pre-published agenda. And by looking at how reckless our politicians have been with our money and property, it appears that the politicians are either being duped, controlled, or even complicit as their “changes we need ” (Obama’s campaign mantra) fundamentally accelerate the potential for a dollar crash. Remember the words of James Paul Warburg, before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on February 17, 1950 states,

“We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or by consent.”

Public be damned!

If this economic storm is analogous to a hurricane, do not be deceived…we are now in the eye of the hurricane. In hurricanes, the back wall of the storm is more severe than the front wall of the storm and the wind comes from the opposite direction. If we are in the eye, the back wall should be portrayed by the mainstream media as originating externally from the United States of America because the front wall of the storm was blamed on conditions that originated internally from within the country (the housing and credit bubbles).

Most importantly, during the storm keep your eyes on Christ. Look at the biggest picture of all. On the other side of all the storms in your life, being born again, you will be with Him.

Part B: The unique, esoteric and perhaps prophetic information.   It points to WHEN something may happen.

The Future: Psalms 109-119 = 2009-2019?

by Erik Jonson and Randall Russell…emphasis added

It has been proposed that Daniel’s 70^th Week starts in the year 2009 (Jewish Calendar – Rosh Hashanah – Sept 19, 2009) and runs through 2016 (Jewish Calendar October 2, 2016) which equates to the Jewish years of 5770-5776. (Reference Daniel Matson’s work, in particular, Signs of the End.) (For a detailed Jewish calendar, click here. The month of Tishri, aka Rosh Hashana, starts the Jewish new year, which is always in the fall on our Gregorian calendar.)

Although chapter and verses weren’t added to the scriptures until the 14th/15th century… this study attempts to look at Psalms 109 through 119 from a prophetic standpoint, with the view in mind that this period of time may represent Daniel’s 70^th Week and beyond. Could this be a mere coincidence or truly divine?

A Little History

I became aware of Daniel Matson’s work in mid 2005, and the Prophecy in the Psalms concepts somewhere around that same time. As we shall see, Psalm 110, (113), 117, 118, and 119 are particularly intriguing, and initially gave me pause as they were read with the time frame of 2009 – 2018 in mind. However, Psalms 111 through 116 did not appear to fit the description of what would be happening in the world during the time of Daniel’s 70th Week and the Great Tribulation. These ideas were placed on the back burner, and eventually forgotten.

Recently, in his 15-Apr-09 posting at Five Doves – Pentecost Revisited – Pastor FM Riley noted how Psalm 109 seemed to indicate the unveiling of the “opposing one” (Anti-Christ, Man of Sin). With his thoughts on my mind, Psalm 109 through Psalm 119 were re-read again with the view of 2009 (Jewish Year 5770; Sept 19, 2009) – 2018 (Jewish Year 5779; Sept 10, 2018) in mind. It was during these subsequent readings that a new insight was noted which suddenly seemed to make everything fall perfectly into place. This study aims to convey these observations for further scrutiny.

These conclusions are reached in large part through a view of Ezekiel’s prophecy (from Chapter 5) of 430 years where the land did not observe her Sabbath.

Seventy years were paid during the years Israel were in captivity in Babylon. This left 360 years to be paid. There is also the odd verse in Leviticus 26:23-24 where a payment for sin would be multiplied 7 times. This left a total of 2520 years remaining where the land was to be desolate as payment for Israel not observing her Sabbaths when in the land.

Daniel Matson shows in his work that the 2520 years, when converted to 360 day years, runs from:

• July 16, 537 BC (Persian King Cyrus conquered Babylon and issued a decree for the Jews to return to their land) until
  
• May 14, 1948 (Israel reborn as a nation)

See here Biblical Prophecy: Israel to be Restored as an Independent Nation in 1948 and Signs of the End – Book Outline for a more detailed description of these times, for there are many more than the one reference noted here.

Daniel Matson then uses day counts between Jewish feast days and the day counts given in the book of Daniel and Revelation (along with many additional arguments) to propose that the time of Daniel’s 70th Week runs from 2009 through 2016 (Again, keep in mind the Jewish New Years 5770-5776).

J.R. Church and others (including F.M. Riley’s recent article on 15-Apr-09 posting at Five Doves – Pentecost Revisited ) have also proposed that the Psalms may follow a prophetic sequence in terms of the year (in Gregorian calendar years). For example, Psalm 33 relating to the year 1933, Psalm 48 relating to the year 1948, Psalm 67 relating to the year 1967, and so on.

• The Prophecies in Psalms 108-110 – That Thy Beloved May Be Delivered
• The Prophecies in Psalms 107-150
• Will Psalm 104 Be Fulfilled in 2004?
  

(After reading the above articles by J.R. Church, you will see that he has a slightly different interpretation of these particular Psalms… nevertheless, keep reading and you decide!)

The Hypothesis

Psalms 109 – 119 potentially align with the time frame of 2009 – 2019 representing Daniel’s 70^th Week and the first two years of the Millennium.

Psalm 109 – Representing 2009

Psalm 109 sets the table for what is to follow. It starts by the plea for the appointment of a “wicked man” (i.e., Antichrist) and let “an Evil One”, “an accuser”, or “adversary” one to oppose (i.e., Satan). Notice the text states two different individuals!

This is in verse 6 of Psalm 109:

⁶ Set a wicked man over him, and let an accuser stand at his right hand (NKJV).

⁶ Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his right hand. (NIV)

⁶ Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand. (ASV)

⁶ Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand. (YLT)

The “accuser” throughout scripture is Satan. But there is also another section of Psalm 109 that is striking. These are verses 21–31:

²¹ But You, O GOD the Lord, Deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your mercy is good, deliver me. ²² For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. ²³ I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like a locust.
²⁴ My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness. ²⁵ I also have become a reproach to them; When they look at me, they shake their heads.

²⁶ Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, ²⁷ That they may know that this is Your hand— That You, LORD, have done it! ²⁸ Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice. ²⁹ Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.

³⁰ I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude. ³¹ For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who condemn him.

Here the cry turns to the Lord to save the one who is poor and needy, the one who’s heart is wounded, and fading away.

In verses 26 and 27, the Psalmist cries out:

“Help me, O Lord, my God; save me in accordance with your love. Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O Lord, have done it.”

Imagine Israel crying out these words to God Almighty as the many accusers, and the newly appointed Evil One, stand around Israel and accuse her.

—– thoughts by Randall…

I want to point out another possible connection that I see in this verse that possibly indicates the timing for this representing 2009. Notice in verses 22-25:

²² For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
²³ I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like a locust.
²⁴ My knees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
²⁵ I also have become a reproach to them;
When they look at me, they shake their heads.

Is it possible that this verse correlates with Isaiah 17 and the timing of the destruction of Damascus? In particular verse 4:

⁴ “ In that day it shall come to pass That the glory of Jacob will wane, And the fatness of his flesh grow lean.

This could be a stretch, and I’m certainly open for discussion; but it appears to me that all nations are starting to turn against Israel, and verse 4 of Isaiah 17 matches up with verse 24 of Psalm 109?

Almost all theologians believe that this destructive event is on the horizon. We all can agree that the terrorist, Jihadist group of Hezbollah primarily resides in Damascus, Syria; and they are interconnected to some degree with Fatah and Hamas of the Palestinian Territories; Al-Qaeda, The Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt and the Taliban of Afghanistan! Therefore, the destruction of Damascus as described in Isaiah 17 makes perfect sense at this time… simply keep your eyes and ears open to foreign news sources. But make no mistake about it… this is NOT the Battle of Ezk 38-39 yet… keep reading and you’ll see when this war starts in my opinion!

Back to Erik…

Psalm 110 – Representing 2010 (Jewish Year 5770; Sept 19, 2009) – Daniel’s Final Week – 1st Year

Before you read any further, I ask you to do something. Go to your Bible, and read Psalm 110 (NKJV). Let the Spirit and the Word minister to you. In fact, read it several times through. For Psalm 110 happens to be one of the most amazing passages in all of God’s wonderful Holy Scriptures. Here it is, in its entirety from the NIV:

Psalm 110:1-7…Of David. A psalm.

1 The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

² The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies.

³ Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth.

⁴ The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

⁵ The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

⁶ He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

⁷ He will drink from a brook beside the way; therefore he will lift up his head.

These passages surely point to Christ and the ministry he was going to have – one in the order of Melchizedek. But look at verse 1!

Christ today is ministering for His bride in the Heavenly Holy of Holies. This we are told in Hebrews (reference Chapter 7, esp vs 25). But again, look what happens in verse 1:

The Lord (the Father) says to my Lord (Jesus):

“Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

It is as if the Father is telling his Son, “WELL DONE! Now, sit and watch my mighty arm work on your behalf.”

Do you see the tie between Psalm 109 (the accuser, the Evil One, and Israel crying out to be saved (as the “Rapture” or “Escape” has already happened) and Psalm 110:5 speaks of how the Lord will “crush kings on the day of his wrath” (the Lord starting to move to make his enemies a footstool for the Messiah?). Oh, that day is nearly here!

Psalm 111 – Representing 2011 (Jewish Year 5771; Sept 9, 2010) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 2nd Year

This is where the key comes to understanding the next six Psalms, from Psalm 111 through Psalm 116. Do not read them from the perspective of the world, which will start down the process of literally being torn apart at the seams. Read them, instead, from the perspective of the Jewish people, and in particular, the 144,000 sealed by the Holy Spirit and those who hear the ministry of the Two Witnesses! These Psalms, praise God, show Israel’s heart starting to soften!

Look at Psalm 111:3-4:

³ His work is honorable and glorious,
And His righteousness endures forever.
⁴ He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;
The LORD is gracious and full of compassion.

Will God Almighty work wonders to allow Israel to remember the wonders of old? You better believe it! What might these be? Look at verse 5:

⁵ He has given food to those who fear Him;
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.

Here He is providing food as this could be due to the results of the “Rider of the 3rd (Black) Horse of Famine”.

Look how Psalm 111 ends in verse 10:

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.”

Is this verse talking about national Israel beginning to learn true wisdom from the fear of the Lord? Oh, Glory if this is so!

Psalm 112 – Representing 2012 (Jewish Year 5772; Sept 29, 2011) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 3rd Year

The themes expressed here seem to represent one standing firm in the Lord when those around in the world are experiencing great anguish and fear. Sound reasonable for the second year of Daniel’s 70^th Week? You better believe it!

From verse 4 “even in darkness light dawns for the upright”,

verse 7 “He will have no fear of bad news;”

verse 8 “His heart is secure, he will have no fear;”

while all the time, as verse 10 notes:

“The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.”

Thoughts by Randall…

Notice the phrase “gnash his teeth”… this phrase and “outer darkness” in other parts of scripture indicates the “Tribulation” period. See Matt 8:12; Matt 22:13; Matt 24:51; Matt 25:30; and Luke 13:28. Read these verses in context as I see it representing the Tribulation Period. What do you think?

Back to Erik…

Note also the blessing in verse 2 “the generation of the upright will be blessed.” Will this be THE GENERATION that lives to see the return of Messiah? Oh, praise God! Will this be THE GENERATION of Israel that finally, finally lives uprightly in full view of the KING?

Psalm 113 – Representing 2013 (Jewish Year 5773; Sept 17, 2012) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 3 Year

Here, praise of the Lord continues. Enough said.

Thoughts by Randall about Psalm 113 and the corresponding time period:

Now, Erik didn’t have anything to add in regards to Psalm 113; however, I believe he missed a VITAL part to this all important Psalm. At this point the “Abomination that causes Desolation” has occurred and Israel’s eyes are completely opened now… Keep Reading!

Not only does the Praising of the Lord continue, but in verses 7-8 there appears to be a type of “Resurrection” here. Now pay close attention and let me know what you think. (YLT)

7 He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy. 8 To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.

In verses 7 & 8 as stated above, a resurrection of “righteous” Jews seems to take place and they will meet the already “Raptured” Bride who were taken 3.5 years earlier. IF this takes place in the middle of the Tribulation, does this equate to what Daniel 12:2 says which also takes place in the middle of the Tribulation (Start of Great Tribulation) (YLT):

2 And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches — to abhorrence age-during.

In this verse, keeping it in context, it appears that not only were righteous Jews resurrected (as indicated in Psalm 113:7-8), but also unrighteous Jews were as well; some are raised to “life age-during” (i.e., everlasting life), while the other group could be the Jews whom never believed in God as they are raised to “reproaches — to abhorrence age-during” (i.e., to shame and everlasting contempt).

IF Psalms 113 represents the year 2013 (Jewish Year 5773 – Sept 17, 2012 – Sept 4, 2013), then this possibly ties into my theory of this time being “Mid-Trib” (a.k.a., The Abomination of Desolation) Dan 11:31; Dan 12:11; Matt 24:15. You can also validate this time period with Revelation 10:1-7:

The Mighty Angel with the Little Book

¹ I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow was on his head, his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.

² He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, ³ and cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.

⁴ Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”

⁵ The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven ⁶ and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there should be delay no longer, ⁷ but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.

And again with Dan 12:4-12:

⁴ “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”
⁷ Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
⁸ Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
⁹ And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. ¹⁰ Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
¹¹ “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. ¹² Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

Now on a side note… Ironically enough, this time also corresponds to the Mayan Calendar End Date and the Winter Solstice of Dec 21, 2012. Is it a mere coincidence that the Mayan calendar declares that there is no more time on this date? Their calendar stops because it’s Mid-Trib and God’s grace has come to an end? The Mayans also believed that at this time when the Sun aligns with our Milky Way Galaxy that a “window into the underworld will open up”. (The Mayan Calendar and the 2012 Planetary Alignment can be best explained by John Major Jenkins.) At the same time, in Revelation 12:7-17, Satan is thrown down to the earth to have his way for the final 3.5 years (NKJV).

Satan Thrown Out of Heaven

⁷ And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, ⁸ but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. ⁹ So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

¹⁰ Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren (just as in Psalms 109:6), who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. ¹¹ And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. ¹² Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

The Woman (Israel) Persecuted

¹³ Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child. ¹⁴ But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle (possibly the United States?), that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time (3.5 years remaining), from the presence of the serpent.

¹⁵ So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. ¹⁶ But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. ¹⁷ And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring (Saints/Christians who came to Christ during the Tribulation and those Christians who missed the Rapture because they were not living obediently to God’s word before the Rapture occured), who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Also, the “Mid-Trib” time frame is apparent as you keep reading in Daniel 12:7 where he tells us there are only 3.5 years remaining until Jesus’ Second Coming (i.e., The Great Tribulation):

⁷And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the age, that, `After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, finished are all these.‘

And further in verses 10-11:

¹⁰Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do understand;

¹¹and from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety.

I think it’s important to continue to look at a few more details that are taking place at this time. Notice in verse 7 above, Daniel makes reference to a “Flood”, during my studies, a flood in biblical terms is sometimes represented as “War”. (I read that flood=war in a book by J.R. Church “They Pierced the Vail”; nevertheless)… Even if that’s not the case, Daniel 12:2-7 validates that a resurrection takes place at mid-trib; therefore…

This nugget takes me over to Ezk 37 (The Valley of Dry Bones Resurrection). Many pulpit “preachers” these days teach that this text is allegorically referring to the rebirth of Israel… I believe they are wrong in their interpretation. This is NOT allegorical, but instead LITERAL! As unnatural as this text may sound, I believe this text is speaking of an actual resurrection of the Jewish people… As we’ve already discovered stated in Dan 12:2 and in Psalms 113:7 above.

This Ezk 37 text gives a vivid description of this resurrection… But take note in verses 10-11:

¹⁰And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and they live, and stand on their feet — a very very great force.

The NKJV says they became “an exceedingly great army“!

¹¹And He saith unto me, `Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, We have been cut off by ourselves.

Notice the text says they have been “cut-off” by themselves… they never believed God, so could these people be the Jews who are raised to “Shame and everlasting contempt” as stated in Daniel 12:2?

At this point you see there now exists an “Exceedingly Great Army” possessing the land of Israel… the final 3.5 years, the “Great Tribulation”. Could this be part of the reason that a demonic, angelic army of 200,000,000 goes forth to slay 1/3 of mankind from the East as stated in the 6th Trumpet War in Revelation 9? We know this is NOT a human army because research by Joel Young shows there are only approximately 60 million horses in the world.

I believe that right after this resurrection of Ezk 37, the world will finally see Ezk 38 & 39 come to pass, the War of Gog/Magog which will continue up to and conclude at the Battle of Armageddon!

Therefore, I too am only a student of Eschatology and feel there is some relevance to what going on here at “Mid-Trib” with the data I’ve just presented here in Psa 113.

As the final 3.5 years unfold, the Jews are heavily persecuted as stated in Zechariah 11-14, and other scriptures, and the Blood Moons that take place in 2014-2015 on Jewish Feast Days…. (see also Blood Moon videos).

If you have any other input in this topic here, please feel free to post a response at the end of this blog post.

————————————————-

Now back to Erik’s points!

Psalm 114 – Representing 2014 (Jewish Year 5774) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 4 Year

We will now be entering the last half of the final week of Daniel. This is otherwise known as the Great Tribulation. This Psalm proclaims that the land of Israel is God’s dominion, and that the earth will tremble at the presence of the Lord.

¹ When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

² Judah became God’s sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

And, verse 7 “Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,”.

Could this equate to the 7th Trumpet of Revelation 11:15-19 when the Kingdom is Proclaimed? Pay particular attention to verse 18:

“The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that you should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”

This would appear to now start the War of Gog/Magog of Ezk 38-39!

Psalm 115 – Representing 2015 (Jewish Year 5775)– Daniel’s Final Week T = 5 Year

This Psalm speaks to the glory of the Lord, and the Lord remembering the house of Israel and Aaron. Look especially at verse 12

“The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron”.

Do you think this remembrance will be important to the nation of Israel one year into the Great Tribulation? But this Psalm also exhorts Israel and the house of Aaron to trust in the Lord, their “help and shield”, as noted in verses 9 and 10.

This Psalm in verses 4 – 8 also speaks of the futility of human idols, made of silver and gold, and by the hands of men. Israel’s God, the God who is in heaven, by contrast, “does whatever pleases him”, as noted in verse 3.

I like in particular how verse 18 would line up with truth… being that now Israel’s spiritual eyes are finally opened after the “Abomination of Desolation”, they will “Bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.” This is totally amazing isn’t it?

Psalm 116 – Representing 2016 (Jewish Year 5776) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 6 Year

Approximately six years will now be completed of Daniel’s final week. The earth will be weary, and those left will be drastically reduced in number. Those who have come to faith during this period, both in Israel and in the gentile lands, will also have faced severe persecution.

Zachariah speaks how 2/3 of the nation of Israel will be cut off during this time. Revelation speaks of those loosing their lives on behalf of the Lamb as being “countless” (reference Revelation Chapter 7). This is mentioned for in Psalm 116 is one of the most somber and sweet verses in scripture. Look at verse 15:

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”

The antichrist will be in full rage against God’s people at this time, and especially towards the nation of Israel. It is likely most will have fled to the wilderness by now. Look at verse 3:

“The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.”

But in the midst of all this, Psalm 116 speaks of how the Lord still watches over those who call upon him, and how the Lord protects the simplehearted and gives rest to those who are dismayed.

Psalm 117 – Representing 2017 (Jewish Year 5777) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 7 Year

Well, this is it. This represents the year of the Return of the King. What would you write for such a climactic ending to the prior 6 days, the prior 6,000 years, of man’s day upon the earth? This is the sunset of man’s day, and the dawn of the Lord’s day – the dawn of the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ! Praise God Almighty! What, I ask, might you write? Well, the Lord has already written it in Psalm 117. It is the shortest Psalm in the book, the shortest book in the Bible, made up of only two verses.

Psalm 117

¹ Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples.

² For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.

The “Praise the Lord” at the end of the Psalm, in Hebrew, is actually Hallelu Yah, from where we get Hallelujah! I say again, what might one write in regards to the Return of the King? What might those alive on earth say, at the Return of the King, after having gone through a literal hell on earth? I can think of no words more simple and profound than those recorded in Psalm 117.

Hallelujah!

Psalm 118 – Representing 2018 (Jewish Year 5778) – Millennial Reign Year 1

Now, if you just lived through the prior seven years, what might you write? Psalm 118 is so profound, you really must read it in this context to understand what is being written. Every verse speaks specifically about the trials faced the believers, and especially Israel, during the previous seven years and how the Lord delivered them! Here are the first seven verses, just to whet your appetite:

¹ Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

² Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.”

³ Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.”

⁴ Let those who fear the LORD say: “His love endures forever.”

⁵ In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free.

⁶ The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

⁷ The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.

Need more??? How about verse 10?

“All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them off.”

How about verse 18?

“The Lord has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.”

Or verse 21?

“I will give thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.”

Or, verse 22 and 23:

“The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.”

Do you think that verse was fulfilled during the age of grace? Oh, look at the glorious ways of our Lord! The STONE the builders rejected has now become the capstone! Jesus Christ the Lord is now reigning! Hallelujah!

Or, verse 24: “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Where does it end??? The day (1,000 years) of the Lord is now at hand! This is the beginning of the Lord’s day! Again, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Brother and sister in Christ, read Psalm 118 with the view that this is the first year of the Millennium, the first year after Israel has been rescued from the flood of the Tribulation. Read it and be blessed. Hallelujah!

Psalm 119 – Representing 2019 (Jewish Year 5779) – Millennial Reign Year 2

And now, the last of the Psalms that we will look at – Psalm 119. We all know what Psalm 119 stand for – it is the love Psalm for the word, the word and law of the Lord. Look how verse 1 starts:

“Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.”

National Israel, now saved, will be living in full view of the Lord upon the earth. The church will be seated with the Lord in the heavenly places. Israel will now finally have their heart of flesh. No longer will their heart be one of stone, in fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecy. Israel will now be able to complete her mission, what she was always created to do.

Israel (as did Shem) has always had a “God” in her tent, going way back to the days of Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Reference Genesis 9:42-27). It has been God’s plan that Israel take her spiritual knowledge of the Lord and minister to the world, that the whole world may be full of God’s glory. This will now happen. But first, National Israel is schooled upon the Law of the Lord, where it is now written upon their hearts – hearts of flesh. Praise God! Hallelujah

Conclusions

First off, this has been written briefly, and it is already over seven pages on the MS Word document that is being typed. Cross references to other scriptures are certainly there for others to pursue. It was the intent to write this and share in as quick and concise of a manner possible.

Secondly, apologies are made to anyone who may have already published this information. I am not aware of anyone who has tied Psalms 110 – 119 specifically to the years 2010 – 2019, but I have not done extensive searches to verify this. If this is you, please feel blessed that the Holy Spirit is confirming your earlier work. If this is new, may you put these ideas to the test of God’s Word. Please note that these thoughts have come about, as noted in the beginning, mainly from the works of Daniel Matson and those who have published works on the Prophecy of the Psalms, namely J.R. Church and Pastor FM Riley.

And lastly, if the Psalms are indeed prophetic in the sense of a year for a Psalm, then we truly may be at the beginning of both a most wondrous time, yet also a most difficult time. You will note that no predictions of when the rapture would take place are presented in this brief study. However, this writer believes the Scriptures are very clear that the church will not be on earth when

“The LORD says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.”

Humbly in Christ,

A Little History

I became aware of Daniel Matson’s work in mid 2005, and the prophecy in the Psalms concepts somewhere around that same time. As we shall see, Psalm 110, (113), 117, 118, and 119 are particularly intriguing, and initially gave me pause as they were read with the time frame of 2010 – 2017 in mind. However, Psalms 111 through 116 did not appear to fit the description of what would be happening in the world during the time of the Tribulation and Great Tribulation. These ideas were placed on the back burner, and eventually forgotten.

In his 15-Apr-09 Five Doves posting – Pentecost Revisited – Pastor FM Riley noted how Psalm 109 seemed to indicate the unveiling of the “opposing one” (Anti-Christ, Man of Sin). With his thoughts on my mind, Psalm 109 through Psalm 119 were re-read again with the view of 2010 (Jewish Year 5770) – 2017 (Jewish Year 5777) in mind. It was during these subsequent readings that a new insight was noted which suddenly seemed to make everything fall perfectly into place. This study aims to convey these observations for further scrutiny.

Replica of Noah’s Ark

As of today, May 11, 2009, its the “17th day of the 2nd month” Iyyar 17 (Genesis 7:11), the day Noah entered the Ark.

The Jewish Civil calendar starts at Rosh Hashana (Tishri 1 (Sept Time Frame) – Like our Jan 1) and the Jewish Religious calendar starts at Nisan 1 – March Time Frame)… Therefore, this is the month of Iyyar in the Jewish year 5769. (Download 2009 Jewish Calendar)

I don’t know about you, but I found this task to be quite remarkable. He’s a real life “Evan Almighty”!

by PastorBlog…

Dutch creationist Johan Huibers of Schagen, the Netherlands has built a massive replica of Noah’s Ark. Johan’s ark is 150 cubits long, 30 cubits high, and 20 cubits wide, which approximates two-thirds of a football field in length and three stories tall in height. As big as it is, it is only 1/5 the size of the original Ark, which was 300 cubits long, 30 cubits high, and 50 cubits wide.

Johan got the idea to build the ark after having a dream about the Netherlands being flooded. He plans to set sail in September and travel to other parts of the country and eventually to major cities in Belgium and Germany.

The official website, which has lots of pictures and videos, is www.arkvannoach.com.

Pentecost Revisited…Prophetic Picture of the Rapture?

By Pastor F. M. Riley

Colossians 2:16-17… “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:

Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.”

Introduction

A year ago I wrote a Bible study entitled “So Simple!” In that study I emphasized how the Lord had shown me that only two of the Jewish Holy Days given to Israel in Leviticus 23 typify the resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers. Those two Jewish Holy Days are “firstfruits” and Pentecost. Proof of this truth is easily available to any reader willing to deal honestly with the Scriptures.

It was only on “firstfruits” that a “sheaf” [omer] of barley was lifted up and “waved” before the Lord, which subsequent history proved was a type of the resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ and the “firstfruit” saints [Leviticus 23:9-14; Matthew 27:52-53; 1 Corinthians 15:20-23].

The only other Jewish Holy Day where a “wave offering” was “waved before the Lord” was on Pentecost. The instructions given for the observance of this Jewish Holy Day are found in Leviticus 23:15-21:

¹⁵ ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.

¹⁶ Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD. ¹⁷ You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are the firstfruits to the LORD.

¹⁸ And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be as a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to the LORD. ¹⁹ Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering.

²⁰ The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. ²¹ And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

In this study I want to “revisit” the Scriptures dealing with the observance of Pentecost. I invite our readers to join us and see what the Lord has yet to reveal to us in His wonderful inspired Word.

Last Year versus This Year

I have already stated a number of times to my readers that when the Lord revealed to me last year, shortly before Pentecost, that only the two Jewish Holy Days mentioned above have anything to do with the resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers, I immediately went to my calendar to see what “date” Pentecost would fall on last year. That was my own sad mistake for the Lord did not give me a “date” last year, and I have freely admitted that and have apologized for picking a “date” off my calendar several times. What the Lord graciously showed me last year is exactly what I have set before my readers, and am repeating again in this study; “firstfruits” and Pentecost.

Yes, I do understand why the Lord did not come last Spring on either of the two Jewish Holy Days. After Pentecost had passed last Spring, I went to the Lord in earnest prayer asking for more GRACE and insight into His Word. I was impressed to go over all of my studies and notes. In restudying the Book of Ruth, I noticed one little statement which I had previously read but which had not registered on my feeble brain the first time I read it. That one little statement made it very clear to me that the Lord was not coming last year.

I also restudied Psalm 108 which correlates with 2008. Verse 6 of that Psalm very clearly speaks of the rapture of God’s people. It is clear enough in the English translation, but it is even more clear when studied in the Hebrew text.

As I restudied it again, this time I noticed that the rapture of God’s people in that Scripture is clearly set forth in the future tense. That made me realize again that the rapture would not take place in 2008 as I had hoped, and as so many of God’s people were also hoping.

I have written these two paragraphs of explanation, not only for my readers, but also for my critics. Folks, I am not and have never claimed to be “infallible.” I am just another child of God and servant of the Lord who seriously studies the Word seeking to learn the truth. Until my critics can find “infallibility” in themselves, then I would suggest that they quit demanding it of others. Romans 2:1 is still in the Bible! But so is Titus 2:11-15, and I am going to keep right on searching the Scriptures and “watching” for my Lord without apology to anyone. Clear enough?

But now we living today are well into a new year. The Jewish Holy Day of “firstfruits,” which was this past Sunday, has now come and gone. It is now obvious that the Lord did not come on “firstfruits” this year. Therefore, if the resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers is going to occur this year on or in connection with one of these two Jewish Holy Days, then I have to believe that it will be “Pentecost.”

The Significance of 2009

If our readers will carefully study Psalm 109, which correlates with 2009, it is obvious that the entire Psalm is speaking about the arrival of the Antichrist on the world scene, and his dealings with Israel and with the Lord. This is highly significant of the very year in which we are living, for many of God’s people [true obedient/repentant believers] are convinced that the Antichrist is now on the world scene. According to 2 Thessalonians 2:3 he was predicted to be “revealed” [2:3] before “the day of Christ” [2:2], and many of God’s people today are convinced that he has been.

I want to emphasize to our readers that there is no contradiction between 2:3 and 2:8. The Antichrist is first revealed to God’s people, who have been given spiritual discernment [1 Corinthians 2:12-16], before the Tribulation begins. He is then revealed to the whole world during the Tribulation after the “Restrainer” has been “taken out of the way,” 2 Thessalonians 2:6-8. This isn’t hard to understand if more of God’s people would get serious about studying the Scriptures.

I don’t think any serious Bible believer would deny that the “signs” that are predicted to accompany the coming of the Antichrist [2 Thessalonians 2:9-12] are all about us today, just as are the “signs” that the Lord told His people to be “watching” for. I believe we are on very safe ground in believing that our Lord is coming to resurrect and rapture His people to glory this year, and it certainly could occur on or near Pentecost.

The Fulfillment of Pentecost…Shavuot??

I do not believe that the coming down of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost as recorded in Acts 2 was the complete and total fulfillment of Pentecost. The types set forth in the Law given to Israel in Leviticus 23:15-21 about Pentecost were not fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2. It is now obvious to every true Bible believer [or should be] that the “wave offering” on the day of “firstfruits” clearly typified the resurrection of Christ and the saints which came out of their graves after His resurrection.

So then why was there no resurrection on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2? It appears to me that since the “wave offering” on “firstfruits” portrayed a resurrection, then the “wave loaves” on Pentecost ought to also portray a resurrection. This is just being consistent in our understanding of the Scriptures. But no resurrection took place on Pentecost in Acts 2. Has Pentecost then been completely fulfilled? I personally think not!

It is an undeniable truth that even all the events predicted by Peter in Acts 2, as he transliterated from Joel’s prophecy, were not fulfilled at that time. Some of those predicted events have not been fulfilled to this very day. I am primarily referring to Acts 2:19-20.

¹⁹ I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.

²⁰ The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

However, in observing the world situation today and studying the prophecies of the end-time, I also think it is highly possible that these predicted events could take place in the next 46 days (May 30-Jun 7). If they do, no true believer will any longer have any doubts about where we stand in God’s great Plan of the Ages. May God have mercy on His people!

The Wave Loaves

Folks, the two “wave loaves” lifted up on Pentecost and “waved before the Lord” clearly appear to be a type of the completed resurrection harvest of New Testament believers. The grain had been gathered, ground in the mills into fine flour, prepared with “leaven,” then baked in the ovens into “loaves.” Two of these “loaves” were then brought to the priest to be lifted up and “waved before the Lord.” What a vivid portrayal of the resurrection of New Testament believers! Glory!

Barley is the first ripe grain in Israel in the Spring of the year. As such it is a perfect type of the Lord’s Gentile bride and people, who according to the prophetic Scriptures will be resurrected and raptured to glory before the Tribulation, and before the nation and people of Israel are resurrected. The Lord Himself clearly stated that the grain which represents Israel is not barley, but rather is “wheat,”

The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares

Matthew 13:24-30:

²⁴ Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; ²⁵ but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

²⁶ But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. ²⁷ So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’

²⁸ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ ²⁹ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

³⁰ Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”

The Parable of the Tares Explained

Matthew 13:36-43:

³⁶ Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.” ³⁷ He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

³⁸ The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. ³⁹ The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.

⁴⁰ Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. ⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

⁴² and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

Just as the barley was cut down in the fields and ground in the mills into “fine flour,” even so New Testament believers throughout this dispensation have been cut down and ground in the mills of persecution and suffering at the hands of the wicked of this world. Many of God’s people today are so Biblically illiterate that they still do not realize that the day each of us chose to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, we also were choosing to become “a partaker of His sufferings.”

See Matthew 10:24-25, 10:34-39, Luke 6:22-23, 14:25-30, John 15:18-19, 16:33, Romans 8:35-36, 2 Corinthians 1:3-7, Philippians 1:29, 2 Timothy 1:8-9, and 1 Peter 4:12-14:

Suffering for God’s Glory

¹² Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; ¹³ but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. ¹⁴ If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

…And many other similar Scriptures.

Folks, the entire history of the Lord’s true church has been written in the blood of those of our Christian forefathers who suffered and bled and died to give us living today the gospel of “salvation in Christ.” Glory! Glory to God! Thanks be unto God for His marvelous GRACE!

It is also true that just as the “fine flour” was mixed with “leaven,” even so God’s people [true obedient/repentant believers] (added by Randall… NOT back sliding believers who intentionally sin without repentance) today still have a “sin nature” to contend with in these bodies of “sin and death” in which we presently reside. Read Romans 7:14-25 and take it to heart.

But just as the fire in those Jewish ovens baked the “leaven” out of those loaves, even so “the fire” of God’s Holy Spirit bakes the sin out of the lives of true obedient/repentant believers who will submit themselves to His will and leadership. Glory! Glory to God! Hallelujah!

Read John 14:16-17, 16:12-14, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:12-14, 4:30, and Galatians 5:24-25.

Through this process we who are true obedient/repentant believers then become “a new lump,” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8:

⁶ Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven (sin) leavens the whole lump? ⁷ Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. ⁸ Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Glory to God!

The “Lifting up” of the Loaves

It ought to be obvious to any reader that there came a time in Israel when the harvest was completed, the grain had been ground into fine flour, baked into loaves, removed from the oven and was then lifted up by the priest and “waved before the Lord,” a vivid type of the resurrection and rapture “harvest” of New Testament believers.

Even so, there is fast approaching a time when “the fullness of the Gentiles” [Romans 11:25] will be complete. This is a spiritual term which refers to the total number of Gentiles whom the Lord foreknew will be saved during this present dispensation. When that last precious soul is saved, the resurrection and rapture “harvest” of the believing Gentiles will immediately occur, Mark 4:26-29.

It is now so close that it could occur within days. Since the lifting up of the loaves are a definite type of the resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers, and since the loaves were to be lifted up and “waved before the Lord” on Pentecost, I highly suspect that the last precious soul to be included in “the fullness of the Gentiles” will be saved on or before Pentecost. However, since the Lord is as precise as He is shown to be throughout the Scriptures [as He was at “firstfruits”], the resurrection and rapture of “the dead in Christ” and “the living in Christ” [the two loaves] will very likely occur on Pentecost at the precise time appointed by Almighty God in Leviticus 23:15-21. Glory to God!

I might add that just as “the priest” lifted up the loaves and waved them “before the Lord,” even so it will be the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, our great “High Priest,” who will lift up His people from out of the graves and off the face of this earth, and take them “home” to glory, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Hallelujah! Glory to God!

The Comfort of Christ’s Coming

¹³ But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. ¹⁴ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

¹⁵ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. ¹⁶ For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

¹⁷ Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. ¹⁸ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Coincidences…??

In view of what I have set forth in this study, is it then just “coincidence” that in John 4 the Lord met the Gentile woman at Jacob’s well precisely on Pentecost? Since Pentecost is not mentioned in that chapter, how do we know it was Pentecost? We know this to be so because in “a year of perfect order” it is exactly “four months” from Pentecost to Rosh HaShanah. Now look at the statement of the Lord Jesus in John 4:35:

³⁵ Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

Did I mention that 2009 is “a year of perfect order”?

For those of our readers who are not familiar with this term, “year of perfect order,” it means that every day on the Jewish calendar in a given year falls on exactly the same day that it fell on during the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is then more than “coincidence” that it is exactly four months to the day from Pentecost to Rosh HaShanah this year. Count the days for yourself, and as the Lord said, “be not faithless, but believing,” John 20:27.

Keep in mind that the Lord met the Gentile woman at Jacob’s well. Was this also a “coincidence”? She was drawing water out of that well, even as we Gentile believers today still draw “living water” from the inspired Scriptures handed down to us from God through the Jewish people. Praise the Lord! But both the meeting place and the date they met seem significant. Is it possible that the Lord’s meeting with the Gentile woman on Pentecost at Jacob’s well typifies the transition of the “gospel” from the Gentile “church” back into the hands of the Jewish people during the coming Tribulation period? Is that possible? I don’t know! I’m just studying the Scriptures and seeking to learn, like other true believers should also be doing.

I am also well aware that the Jewish Rabbis today expect the resurrection to take place at Rosh HaShanah. In fact, they insist that it cannot happen at any other time based on the traditional teaching that has been passed down to them by their Jewish sages. But the Lord Himself said in John 4:35-36 that the “harvest” was taking place right then. On Pentecost! Now who are we to believe? The Lord Himself? …..or, the Jewish Rabbis? I made my choice many years ago. I will take the Word of the Lord over that of any man.

Conclusion

I could continue this study by setting forth a number of Scriptural reasons why this year, more than any previous year, appears to be the year the Lord is coming to resurrect and rapture His New Testament believers to glory. But it is in particular the Day of Pentecost that the Lord laid on my heart for this study, and I have now set it again before our readers for your consideration. So here is where I will bring this study to a conclusion. I urge every reader to study these things for yourself, pray about them, and draw your own conclusions.

May the Lord use this study to encourage the hearts of minds of His people [true obedient/repentant believers], and to impress upon those still lost in sin the shortness of time and their own personal need to seek the Lord as their Savior NOW.

If I can help any reader to find salvation in Christ, or any reader who is beset with doubts about their salvation to find assurance in the Lord, please feel free to contact me. I will count it a joy and a blessing to render spiritual help to anyone who will grant me that blessing. I want to meet every reader in glory. Please don’t disappoint me!

Thank You F.M. Riley for this wonderful insight in this possible connection between Pentecost and the Escape… I’ve believed for about a year and a half now that Pentecost would be the FirstFruits (Barley) harvest; Mid-Trib (no idea of the timing) would be the Main (Wheat) Harvest or Jewish Resurrection; and Armageddon would be the (Grape) Four Corners Harvest!

See my next post entitled: The Future: Palsms 109-119. This is truly a facinating study in which we all have been deceived from the main stream pulpits!

Fear, Confusion, and Panic…

by Brother Dave…with emphasis added

Isaiah 41:10 ‘Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’

Prov 3:25-26 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

Hebrews 13:6… So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

Isaiah 8:12-14 For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

Look at the world around you. See how they live in dread today. Think about what’s happening today, all the world is dealing with is a global pandemic, that’s it, just a pandemic, and people are losing their minds. When I say “just a global pandemic” I need to put that in perspective for you…think in terms of the tribulation….

People are living in fear and dread today without the Anti-Christ marauding around, without famine at their doorstep (yet), without being attacked by the beasts of the field, without the trumpet judgments or vial judgments, without demonic beings walking side by side with men (i.e., Nephilim), none of that…yet, and people are shivering. Why?

I suppose today is as good a day as any other to begin separating those with real faith from those whose life calling has been “playing church.”

“Going to church” is never asked for or desired anywhere in the bible. Being the church is mandatory. You cannot fake real faith, its either there or its not. In the face of potential death, it gets really real.

Understand that not a hair of your head can be touched by this man-made angel of death virus, without our God’s permission. Our God is a respecter of faithful people. He stood in awe of the centurion’s faith. The Lord has been on this topic of faith and belief now for weeks (with me) and I can clearly see why now. If we do not stand in our faith, we will not stand at all. The time for people to build their faith for the coming storms is not when they hit, its before they hit.

Will men wait until they are shivering while sweating on thier beds eaten up with this pig flu before they go to their knees and seek the face of God? Many won’t even seek him then.

Today is a pre-flood, pre-brimstone day. Today is a day when the mercy and grace of our Lord are still extended to men. Today is a day to return to the fundamentals of the faith. Your hired hand spiritual servants (clergy) will not have the faith to save you, you must have the faith to save you. Faith is the currency of our Kingdom, a Kingdom not of this world.

Six days from today marks the anniversary of Noah entering the ark; 16 days from today is Ascension Day, and 26 days from today is Pentecost. People who tell you that Jesus can’t do this, and Jesus can’t do that because XYZ hasn’t happened yet, are in for a big surprise. The Son of God is not bound by their interpretations of what He can or cannot do, and when He can do what He has planned.

Over and over again in the bible we see this idea that Jesus is coming at a time when men will not expect it. He says He is coming like a thief!

Now watch this very carefully, what Jesus says here and when He says it. Rev 3:3 is just before Rev 4:1 where we see what? A door opens in heaven. What does He say in Rev 3:3:

Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.

Pay attention, VERY CAREFULLY, to what He said there. This is straightforward language, He says if you will not watch, He will come on you like a thief and you won’t know the hour He comes upon us.

It has become very popular today for men NOT TO WATCH for the coming of the Lord TODAY. Who are these people who refuse to watch, who do not believe Jesus will show up today, tomorrow, or even next year for that matter? Pre-wrath, Post-trib teachers come immediately to mind. (Added by Randall… i.e., David MacPhearson, Stan Johnson, Robert VanKampen, Irvin Baxter; And especially those who are of the Preterist Eschatology viewpoint such as: Hank Hanegraaff (the Bible Answer Man) and R.C. Sproul.)

Lovers of money like Tim Mchyde who for all we know isn’t even a believer, men like that assure you that Jesus cannot come back today because of reasons A,B,C,D,E,F,G…. Won’t they be surprised on the day Jesus does come back and they are not watching while they peddle their merchandise on other men teaching them not to watch today either. What will happen to such men? I don’t even want to guess.

We specifically are warned to be watching…for what? For our Lord’s return. Those found doing what they are told to do will be rewarded, those who preach and teach disobedience to this specific command to be watching TODAY for the Lord’s return…well, I would not want to be them.

As we press deeper into the month of May, I would advise you to be watching and ready like the wise virgins of Matt 25. I would advise you to “pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all that’s about to happen and stand before the Son of man”. Why would I advise such things? Because they are clearly stated in the word of God, and the twisting of men goes straight to the trash bin.

Mark 13:35… Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh, whetherat even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning

Matthew 24:42… Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

Luke 21:36… Watch therefore, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the

1 Peter 4:7… But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Now, look at each and every place our Lord tells us to watch and you tell me, do you see any time qualifiers mentioned ANYWHERE? A time qualifier would be somewhere He tells us “watch when you see this happen” or after this happens, then watch, or at the mid-point of the trib, then watch, or after the trib is over, then watch…No, it just says WATCH which means what? Do it NOW!

A man who puts off the commands of the Lord because he thinks he has outsmarted the word of God is a fool. I am amazed at how many have fallen for the satanic doctrines of this day which tell you…

“don’t bother doing what the word of God tells you to, put it off for later…”

The day of the escape will come upon many people like a thief. Why? The cares of this life have overwhelmed them, or they refuse to watch.

Luke 21:34-36: And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

What’s the downside of watching today and every day after today? None. How can you be caught “not watching” if you are watching every day? You can’t. So you tell me where wisdom is, watching every day, or watching sometime later for our Lord’s return?

I was not planning on writing about this today, but perhaps the Spirit planned on me writing this today. The point of everything written today is, this flu thing, and later many issues will cause people to become anxious with the issues of life here, and they will not be watching. We know because we have been warned thousands of years in advance that those who are found watching and worthy when He returns will be able to escape all.

Read Luke 21:1-35 to find out what the “all” is we are promised to escape. We are to comfort and encourage each other with the promise of the rapture and the escape. The only comfort and encouragement the pre-wrath and post-trib teachers give you is you have a 90% chance of dying a horrible death in the tribulation. Even if there was no escape from all, it wouldn’t matter one iota to us who live for Christ, watching for his return day in and day out. We live by faith, every day. We obey his word, we are watching. If a person tries to convince you that for some reason you don’t need to watch today, consider closing your eyes and ears to them permanently.

Believe that our Lord will do what He said He would do. You do NOT need to buy any mans book (especially if they charge you for it…) to figure out what the Creator has to say to you. Pray, believe, watch, and read the book God himself wrote to you and all men.

In a time of universal deception, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.  grace and peace

Encouragement…The Escape…A Few…Scoffers!

Psalm 32:7-11

You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you. Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him. Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

Interesting words used there “You are my hiding place”….Our Lord is a very real refuge from the storm we see all around us. He shall preserve me from trouble, He shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Who will deliver us, preserve us? He will…..

1 Peter 3:20

…who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

Luke 17:26

And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

Noah had an ark, we have the Son of God. “in Christ” we are in the ark. The Lord promised us an escape from all that’s about to happen. As the storm clouds move over us we get closer to the time of Jacob’s trouble, more and more people will begin to wonder whether the Lord meant what he said when he declared:

Luke 21:36

Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Those who are counting on the escape face a growing barrage of ridicule from the atheist, the godless and outright hate from the pre-wrath, post-trib crowd. I liken all of these people to those who stood around while Noah was driving nails and cutting boards for the Ark. They all stood around mocking and criticizing. Things won’t be so funny though on the day the ark rises up above the earth and some of us are nowhere to be found.

Today I want to encourage you to walk in uprightness and righteousness with the Lord so you are found worthy of the escape that’s coming. Satan and those who serve him go immediately after your faith by first creating doubt….”did God really say….?” Did God really say to pray for an escape from all that shall come to pass? Unless my eyes are deceiving me, YES He did tell us to pray for the escape. Is that being “escapist”? YEA, IT IS!

There seems to be many people these days who believe that they need to go through the tribulation for one reason or another…maybe they do. We each need to be firmly convinced of what we believe because what we really believe will be tested.

The Lord told me years ago “we can do this the easy way or the hard way” referring to some changes in thinking and behavior on my part. The easy way is for us to engage our mind, willpower, heart, and rear end to come into conformity with God’s will. The hard way is for the Lord to impose external pressure on you to get you to the same place. Same destination, two different ways of getting there.

Today there are people (back slidden, born-again “Christians”) on the earth whose attention does not belong to the Lord..yet. There is a pressure cooker coming though, called the Tribulation, that will burn off the impurities with fire and bring them “in Christ.” These are known as the Tribulation Saints.

For those living in todays pre-tribulation world, who are “in Christ,” who have chosen the “easy way” of willingly and obediently following the Lord, its already mission accomplished if they continue “in Christ” up to the point in time of the escape. What difference is there between those who have died “in Christ” up till now, and those of us living today “in Christ?” If those who died before us “in Christ” did not go through “the” tribulation, give me a good argument for why we should? I’ve never heard one yet, and I’ve heard about everything out there.

The pre-tribulation “escape” will be a double edged sword. On one hand, it will devastate the apostate church. The day however many of us “escape” and they don’t what’s going to happen? What happens the day all the apostate preachers and teachers are still here, and we are not? There will be widespread defection and destruction of so called Christianity aided by the persecutions coming, aided by the great deception sent by the Lord himself to deceive those who refused to believe the truth.

2 Thes 2:9-12

The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

As history has proven, then and now, only a few will be saved through it all. It’s always a remnant, its always a few that make it “in Christ” no matter how you want to look at it.

Romans 9:27

Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: “ Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, The remnant will be saved.

Romans 11:5

Even so then, at this present time there is a remnant chosen by the election of grace.

I didn’t make this stuff up guys. Go to an online bible search engine and type in “remnant” but make sure you pack a lunch because you will see it over and over and over again.

What does that mean? Always a remnant? It means its always a FEW who “get it.”

Matt 7:14

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

……that’s what it means. Writing these things to you is the core of what the Lord has given me to do in this life. Remind you of what’s already been written. The wrong time to be reminded of these things is after the escape, or after you die, whichever comes first.

I know much of what is written here is not pleasant to read, but my task is to put it out there. If one soul is turned away from their sin, what’s that worth? Its priceless…beyond measure. Each soul is unbelievably precious.

Predictably, just as the bible said, scoffers are on the increase. Anyone who points to Jesus alone (which in fact is “the Word of God”) is hated. We are not surprised by the hatred because if the Master was hated to the point of being murdered, should we expect the people around us to dance a joyful jig when we come saying the same exact things that got our Master crucified?

This alone puts the messages preached at the “mega churches” into perspective. Mr. Joel Osteen goes out of his way to make sure there’s nothing offensive to anyone in anything he says. Results? The largest so called Christian church in America. Contrast the message of Osteen (and all those like him) to the message that got our Lord crucified…could they be any more different? One set of words leads to throngs worshiping you, the other set of words gets you killed. You figure it out….

Time is short guys. The coming reality for this world is stranger than fiction. I wonder if we’ll be around for the soon coming day when “the powers that be” disclose to the world that alien life has been here on earth for quite some time (Nephilim). I wonder what it will be like when these things/superheroes/aliens/demons in disguise get wheeled out. I don’t want to know, but that’s what’s coming. The bible clearly tells us that men’s hearts will fail them from fear of seeing these things that are “coming on the earth.”

Luke 21:26

Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Coming on the earth? From where? …for the powers of heaven (THE HEAVENS) shall be shaken. Outer space, that is, outside the earths atmosphere is where the heavens are.

We have before us both the carrot and the stick. We can choose what pleases our Lord today, or some can choose it later under a pressure that will melt the earth. Pray that you may be counted worthy of the escape from all that’s coming and stand before the Son of Man.

A clue to the physical location of where we escape to:

Where is the Son of Man?
Answer: Sitting at the right hand of the Father.

Where is the Father?
Answer: Sitting on his throne in the highest heavens.

Which means when you escape and are standing before Him who sits at the right hand of the Father, you WON’T be here on earth….grace and peace

Rapture Vision from 1996!

I found this to be quite interesting due to several other things I’ve learned in recent months (I’ll share some speculative highlights at the end).

Now I for one do believe that God still works thru visions… and more so in the days to come during the Tribulation as stated in Joel 2:28. Obviously, we just have to know God’s word in order to be discerning between trash and truth.

I also want to point out one thing the author says below…

“all I ask you is to remember what you read here. It’s not important to believe this, but I beg you to remember”.

On with the Vision…(Aurthur Unknown)

The Rapture Vision of 1996
The coming events or warnings to happen just before the rapture takes place.

Dearly beloved doves, and brothers and sisters in Jesus name. This is the vision given in 1996 concerning world wide events to happen from one to three weeks before the actual Rapture. This I told to many friends, and was often hurt at the disbelief, and cold shoulders of many Christian friends that I finally just put it on the back shelf, and let it sit for the last 13 years. I now feel that the Rapture is so close that it needs to be told, urgently. I agree with our Christian brother John Tng that there has been so many dreams and visions of the Rapture that probably no one will believe this one either, but that is okay. All I pray for is everyone to remember. Like our Bible says, the vision will prove itself with time and testing. By remembering these visions, it will or can save you much needless suffering. The Lord does not want to hurt his bride.

There is going to appear above the earth (in the sky) a strange object, it will be large and sphere shaped, like a ball. It will look like it’s been built in sections, like a football with huge rivets at the seams. Many will call this a UFO, I don’t know. It will have the color of copper or bronze. It will be on every TV around the world. People will be shocked like the World Trade Center. People will be glued to their TV’s but you don’t. The minute you see this, run to the closest food store and get enough canned food and bottled water for about three weeks, because between one and 24 hours after this object is seen world wide there is going to be a massive impact or collision on our sun’s surface. It is going to happen on our blind side, we can’t see it coming. It’s going to be a super size twin asteroid hitting the sun in a vital spot, releasing a major solar storm, knocking out all of earth’s electricity, all over the world. Those of you who read this will save yourself and your family much misery.

Now, this is what’s going to happen in the next 2 or 3 weeks, while the electricity is off. Within a few days the whole world will start to go crazy with hunger. The banks and ATM’s can’t work without electricity. No gas pumps for food transportation, no refrigeration, total darkness. The robbers, rapists, and murderers will see right away that no one can call the police for help, because the solar storm has burned up all communication satellites, cell phones and telephones. The law can’t even call each other. It’s going to be total breakdown in large cities. There will be gun shots and screams all night long. Millions will be behind locked doors, praying and begging for God’s mercy, for help and protection. He will answer millions of prayers. Millions will ask for forgiveness, and the Lord and his saints will perform millions of miracles during these three weeks.

Then after about 3 weeks of this, the Rapture will happen. Although there are different time zones around the world, the Lord showed it will be night here in Florida, USA.

In this vision, I was taken in the spirit out in the woods behind my house in Florida. During the spring or early summer, it started at night. I didn’t hear any trumpets or words (come up hither) but I know there’s going to be, because the Bible says so. As I was standing there in the spirit of course, in the middle of some trees, a huge blue beam of light came down like a big flashlight, about a thirty foot circle around me. The blue light was identical in color to a welder’s arc light at night. It was so blinding I put my hands over my eyes to see if I could see where or what this light was coming from. Then I noticed in the distant night sky, north, south, east, and west of me, blue colored stars jetting off the ground spiraling upwards traveling fast, they were heading for the bright blue object that was shining that beam of light down on me. It could have been the Lord or an open door to heaven. I really could not tell, it was so bright and blinding.

Anyway, these little blue stars were going up in clusters. Different numbers depending on the size of town around me. Then all of a sudden when they reached about 9:00 high they burst into 10 times their size. Then I realized it was those alive in Christ joining those dead in Christ. I was too far away to see any new regenerated bodies or white gowns, but I’m sure they were. Then suddenly I was again taken out of my body off to the side to look at myself standing in the light. That’s when I saw my own flesh glossing white as lightning, all my flesh, head and arms, my clothes remained the same. Then instantly, I vanished and my clothes fell to the ground. From what I saw in this vision, I was the last to go because all the alive in Christ had joined the risen dead.

The next afternoon, I had been reading my Bible for about an hour and then stood up in my living room to take a break, when suddenly at arm’s length from my face appeared a blue cloud, the same color as the beam in the Rapture vision. In the shape of something like a football on its side, about 3 ft long and 2 ft high – white, a brilliant white 21 in the middle of it. I never did understand the meaning of the 21, maybe it was the day of the Rapture. I base no idea, your guess is as good as mine. Well, that startled me, so I sat down, shocked again because this was in the middle of the day and I wasn’t even praying.

Well, my son was in the kitchen making some tea and he said we were out of sugar. I said OK, I’ll go down the road and get some. I began to sit up when this small newborn baby appeared before my eyes. I’m starting to come unglued now, because it hadn’t been 5 minutes since the blue cloud, when this happened. I told myself, O my Lord, am I losing my mind? What, O God, does this baby have to do with the Bible? I must be losing my mind. I really started crying, it was blowing my mind. Then I noticed this newborn baby had this horrible growth on the side of it s head, almost as big as the baby’s head. It was scary ugly, that’s how bad. After about 20 seconds, the vision disappeared, the baby was gone. I told myself I’ve got to get out of here or I’m going to start crying again.

Well, I left and went after the sugar, about 2 miles away. I walked into the store, the owner and myself were the only ones there. He was on the telephone talking to some friend of his. I was at the counter waiting to him to get off the phone, when suddenly a young woman came into the store. She walked right up beside me and spoke to my friend on the phone. She said, you haven’t seen my brand new baby have you and he said no ma’am. I happened to look down at the baby and nearly fainted. There was the same baby I’d seen 10 minutes earlier. My legs went like rubber and I had to lean on the counter to keep myself from falling. This action made this young woman mad, I mean angry, my reaction insulted her greatly. She yelled at me and said, the doctor says it’s just a birth mark, and it will shrink and go away. She then stormed out of the store. My friend said, did you see that thing on the baby’s head? I said yes, I saw it 10 minutes before I came here. That was the last one, never again in 13 years. The only thing I can figure out is, He was showing me that every vision he had shown me was going to happen.

My friends, all I ask you is to remember what you read here. It’s not important to believe this, but I beg you to remember.

Here are a few speculative points that I have discovered in recent months that I find oddly enough to be somewhat related:

• He stated above that it happened in the “Spring or Early Summer”… There’s reason to believe that the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) has not actually completed yet; but we know and believe that Pentecost was the birth of the Church in Acts 2. Therefore, the “Rapture” may very well be on a Pentecost instead on Feast of Trumpets as some believe; concluding the” Church Age”? Think of it like Pentecost in reverse! When you study the three main harvests of the Jewish culture, Pentecost is a “FirstFruits” harvest (offering).

• If Planet X/Nibiru is real… according to some info that I’ve come across, it should be visible in the sky around Mid May 2009. Currently/supposedly it’s only visible from the South Pole. There’s a tremendous amount of garbage on the web regarding this subject…

• It is believed by many scholars and students of bible prophecy that the escape “Rapture” will happen on one of two time frames… either the Feast of Weeks (May 29-31, 2009 – Pentecost) or on the Feast of Trumpets (Sept 18-20, 2009) on any given year; however, there are many, many pieces of the puzzle pointing to 2009… (BTW: If you’re one who lives the scripture verse “No man knows the day or hour” then I highly recommend that you study the Jewish Feast Days because both of these feasts consist of multiple days; and Jesus DID say that we would know when His coming was near… Even At The Door – Just continue to pray that you’re counted worthy to “Escape” all these things that are coming (i.e., the Tribulation). Lk 21:36

If Therefore Thou Shall Not Watch

by Brother Dave… (emphasis added)

The Lord dropped this one straight into my head this afternoon with some commentary:

Rev 3: 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. (YLT)

Who is he talking to here? The Church.

What’s he talking about? Watching!

Watching for what? His arrival, His coming!

This is very specific and timely. We know there are people within the church today who specifically refuse to watch for his coming today because their doctrine says he can’t show up until sometime mid-trib,post-trib, pre-wrath.

What does the Lord say about these people, these who “will not watch?” He will come like a thief to them. Why? They WERE’NT WATCHING. The only time a thief would surprise someone is if he came when they were not watching, correct?

Contrast the groups for yourself:

Which group is watching for the Lord’s return today and everyday till he reveals himself? Pre-trib, pre-flood, pre-fire and brimstone (Noah and Lot), Escape from all believers.

Who specifically in the church is not watching for the Lord’s return today and will argue with anyone and everyone who claims he can return today? Mid-Trib, Pre-Wrath, Post-Trib teachers, and those who think there is no escape at all.

The church has been warned in very plain language. Jesus will come like a thief to those who are caught not watching when he shows up. The only group I know of who will not possibly be affected by the sudden and unexpected return of the Lord “like a thief” are those who believe the word of God literally, those who heed to warning to be ready every day for Jesus Christ.

This is an open and shut case folks. It’s as easy as pinning down someone with the question on the escape.

If you are mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib and not praying to escape all, why not? Does’nt the word of God tell you to? If you are praying to escape all, why? Your doctrine nullifies the word of God relating to the escape..

If you are mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib, are you watching today for the arrival of the Lord? (NO) Does’nt the word tell us that those caught by surprise (like a thief) are those who are not watching when he shows up?

How can those who are looking for the Lord’s return everyday be caught on the wrong side of “watching?” They can’t, they’re continually watching for the return of the Lord.

How can the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib teacher be caught “like a thief,” unprepared, not watching for the Lord’s return? Easy, Jesus could show up today.

The message is clear. The church has been warned. The people who teach doctrines that conflict with the straightforward reading of God’s word will pay a price for it. If that price means missing the escape and entering the tribulation, oh my…

So, What Should The Church Look Like?

The Catholic Church is the epitomy of the Nicoliatan System!

It has been demonstrated by the writing here that this thing calling itself the church of Christ is anything but. The pastoral system is idolatrous, it is the Nicolaitan System Jesus twice says he hated in Rev 2. What calls itself the church is not the organic living body of Christ but a dead, lifeless man made organization.

It was written here yesterday that Paul never once appointed a pastor in all his travels throughout the known world at that time. Not only, did he not appoint a pastor, he never even mentions one. That should tell you something.

Today’s babylonian form of churchianity is wholly constructed around the CEO/guru style spiritual hired hands called “pastors” yet we see NONE of them in the pages of the New Testament (shepherd, poimen-not “pastor” is what’s mentioned in Ephesians 4:11-check the literal translation.)

Where do I get this spiritual “hired hand” stuff idea from when I reference “pastors?”

John 10:12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

What does this say?

First of all, the sheep do not belong to these men, period! The sheep belong to Christ Jesus alone.

Second, these hirelings do not have to physically leave the sheep to let the wolf in. They can leave the sheep through their doctrine, through their perpetuation of a dead system of “playing church,” and they can leave the sheep through perpetuating the idolatry which is the pastoral system.

These GURU/CEO types stand up in front of people week in and week out. They present themselves as somehow “closer to God” than you or me. The idolatry with these people is twofold.

First of all, pride is lifted up in these men’s hearts. As they stand alone in front of many people week after week, the original sin of pride begins to weave its way through their hearts, minds and spirits like a poison.

The other side of this coin is when people who listen to these Guru/CEO type begin to “idolize” them in their hearts. At the moment this happens, the sin of idolatry has been committed. It does’nt matter how big or small the “tower of babel/church building is, its the system that perpetuates the idolatry.

So we know what the church should not look like: look around you today-that’s how it should not look.

So how should the church look?

We know from the history of Israel, and from the pages of the New Testament that the true church is small. Over and over and over again, a remnant was saved out of multitudes. Israel was the smallest among the nations.

We see in Matt 7:14 that few are saved. We see in Rev 3:10 that a weak but patient church is the one counted worthy to be kept from the hour of trial coming on the world.

We see this in the book of Acts:

Acts 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

What do we see here? We see Paul being received by apostles and elderS—That’s elder with an S on the end to indicate its plural not some guru, no pastors mentioned-again.

Philemon 1:2 And to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier,and to the church in your house.

Greetings to the church, no mention of a pastor anywhere. What do we see about the church above? It’s in their house… It does’nt even say they “meet” there, it says they ARE there.

Here it is again, the same exact thing:

Colossians 4:15 Give my greetings to the brothers in Laodicea, especiallyto Nympha and the church that is in her house…

James 5:14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and theyshould pray for him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

Once again, something needs to be done in the church and who does it? Elders—PLURAL, no mention of “pastors”…anywhere.

At this point, we know that the true church is small, and back in the day, there were churches in people’s homes. Does that make sense? No “jumbo mortgage” needed to pay off mult-million dollar loans on buildings God never asked you to build. A plurality of older men, who had fought the good fight and were seasoned in the Lord’s service, to oversee the church. No mention anywhere of these Guru/Fortune 500/CEO style leaders who produce pride in themselves and idolatry in those who listen to them.

How many people does it take for the church to be assembled? 2? 3? more? That’s for the Spirit of God to determine on a case by case basis. Men do not build the church, Jesus does. The Holy Spirit will lead in all affairs of the church, but men do not like to wait, so they just plow forward in their own mind and their own strength to do things that should not be done, like participate in the dead, idolatrous system of babylonian churchianity and the idolatrous pastoral system.

If you have a couple believers, maybe just two, it doesn’t matter where they are, that’s where the church is. We cannot “go to church” because WE ARE THE CHURCH.

How can these small groups of believers proceed? Try acting like a family, break bread together, take turns reading the bible out loud, pray together. If they do nothing more than that, there would be power that would shake the world coming out of that house. Men want to develop organizations, build buildings for their own glory, our God is interested in nurturing a family here.

If a few believers are together and they want to do something, they need to ask the Lord about it then WAIT for him to respond. If they never hear anything from him then they should’nt do a thing. The true church should be what your family is. We are the body of Christ, we are a family, we do love each other, but most of all we love HIM—Jesus Christ our Lord and Master. Wait for him, ask him in all your ways and you won’t end up in a satanic, lifeless organization made by men which is what 99% of the so called “churches” are today.

The Lord has always acted contrary to the religious masses. Go back and read your bibles. The only people our Lord drop kicked and body slammed were the religious people of the day. Nothing has changed. If Jesus showed up today, and his will was done here on earth as it is in heaven, the landscape of churchianity as you know it would be scorched earth.

It is fundamental to understanding what the church looks like that there are few in it. Not because our Lord wants few, but because of the decisions men make for themselves. People do not need to know how to organize the church, they need to know how to act like a family and wait on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to direct ALL their ways.

If you want to know what the church looks like, turn away from this world and forget everything this world has presented to you fronting as “the church.” Read your bibles, pray, start small, wait on the Spirit of God, act like a family. When in doubt, do nothing…wait, keep it simple.

This world spits on, ridicules small things, but the Lord has shown me how small things are… EVERYTHING. The small things of the earth (bacteria,viruses, atoms) bring men to their knees. That’s a lesson to mankind that man is nothing and God is everything. A small family of believers that acts like family, at a house or dunkin donuts or whatever the Lord leads them to, will have more power that all the “pastors” and their monument to men church buildings put together.

What is the Spirit of God saying to the churches today? I believe it is a return to the fundamentals of the faith. Back to absolute basics. If time is short, this is the last chance for men to “get it right” before all hell breaks loose.

We are dearly loved children, grace and peace

Satan and Spiritual Forces

By Kerby Anderson

Click on the image to hear this text in a three minute video.

Does Satan exist? Apparently a lot of American Christians don’t think that he does. A recent George Barna survey found that four of ten Christians (40 percent) strongly agreed that Satan “is not a living being but is a symbol of evil.” An additional two of ten Christians (19 percent) said that they “agree somewhat” with the perspective. That means a clear majority of self-described Christians do not believe that Satan is a real person.

It is worth noting that these same Christians seem to have internal contradictions in their worldview. For example, a majority of the Christians surveyed believe that a person can be under the influence of spiritual forces, such a demons or evil spirits. And about half of those Christians who believed that Satan is merely a symbol of evil nevertheless agreed that a person can be under the influence of spiritual forces.

These and other statistics from the latest Barna survey should not be too surprising. As I document in my new book, A Biblical Point of View on Spiritual Warfare, both Christians and non-Christians have some false beliefs about Satan, angels, and demons. Part of the reason for these inaccurate views is due to the media. After all, Hollywood is probably not the best source for biblically accurate views on the supernatural. Another reason is that often we hear wrong comments about God and angels and heaven at funerals. Well-meaning people say some pretty strange things. We don’t correct them, because a funeral is about the last place you want to split theological hairs.

This latest survey illustrates why we need to have good Bible teaching from the pulpit, in our Sunday School classes, and in our homes. A person whose perspective of the spiritual world is primarily influenced by the media is going to have a biblically inaccurate worldview. They may believe that Jesus was the Son of God but not believe that Satan is a real person. We need to show them that if Jesus was indeed the Son of God, then we must also believe that Satan exists because Jesus taught that he exists and was tempted by him in the wilderness.

It is time for us to get back to teaching foundational theology in our churches and in our homes. I’m Kerby Anderson, and that’s my point of view.

Farmer Builds Model of Herod’s Temple

A friend sent this to me in an email and I thought that this was too incredible not to share here… God bless you and your wife Alec!

Now, here’s a model of biblical proportions. Read on…

A retired farmer has spent more than 30 years building an enormous scale model of Herod’s temple…

- and it is still not finished…

Alec Garrard, 78, has dedicated a massive 33,000 hours to constructing the ancient temple, which measures a whopping 20ft by 12ft…

The pensioner has hand-baked and painted every clay brick and tile and even sculpted 4,000 tiny human figures to populate the courtyards…

But Mr Garrard, who started the epic project in his 40s, says his masterpiece will not be finished in his lifetime…

“I have an interest in buildings and religion so I thought maybe I could combine the two and I came up with the idea of doing the temple”

“I’d seen one or two examples of it in Biblical exhibitions, but I thought they were rubbish and I knew I could do better”

“I have also sculpted and painted 4,000 figures, measuring just half an inch and all wearing their correct costumes”

“Each one takes about three hours to make and there are 32 versions of Jesus, although no one can ever spot him no matter how religious they are” …

Visitors come from all over the world to see the model and Mr Garrard provides binoculars so they can see all the details

“I personally know all the top archaeologists from Jerusalem and I’ve had experts from the British Museum visit,” he says,

But he chases the money-changers out of the temple:

“I’ve had a lot of offers from people to buy it, but it’s not for sale”

He says his wife Kathleen thinks he is mad…

He adds: “She wishes she’d married a normal person” …

Mr Garrard, from Norfolk , spent more than three years researching the temple, which was destroyed by the Romans 2,000 years ago and deemed to be one of the most remarkable buildings of ancient times…

He then started to construct the amazing 1:100 scale model, which is now housed in a huge building in his back garden…

“Everything is made by hand. I cut plywood frames for the walls and buildings and all the clay bricks and tiles were baked in the oven then stuck together,” he says,

Built in 19BC by King Herod the Great, the temple was flattened in AD70, just six years after completion…

In its heyday the temple complex covered 36 acres – four times the area of Windsor Castle …

The Temple was probably located on the site of what today is the Dome of the Rock!

The Non-Federal Reserve

This DVD set is one of the most on-target documentaries that I have seen regarding this deceit. Although it’s just a tad-bit dry to watch… the information is extremely valuable in understanding not only the current economic crisis, but also some of the biggest events in American History.

———————————-

This comprehensive, 3-1/2 hour, fast-paced historical documentary throws back the veil of deceit hiding the origins and operations of the corrupt banking plutocracy that owns and rules America and is gradually and clandestinely imposing a worldwide tyranny on the rest of us.

In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson approved the Federal Reserve Act. A few years later, he reflected:

“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world — no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.”

A century before Thomas Jefferson reflected much the same sentiment:

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks….will deprive the people of all property until their children wakeup homeless on the continent their fathers conquered….The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

This riveting DVD documentary covers the history of monetary reform from Roman Times to the present. It is packed with brilliant quotations and is absolutely the best production on the Federal Reserve available. Presented in layman’s terms that the average person can comprehend, this set even includes a 16 page booklet containing the Monetary Reform Act.

“Outstanding! The best video yet on the history of the Federal Reserve and the mysterious disappearance of America’s gold reserves. Fast-paced and riveting.”

The Monopoly Men… The Elite International Bankers

A.K.A… The Guardians of the Grail, The Free Masons, The Illuminati, The Creature From Jekyll Island, the Jesuits, and The Money Masters… and you might better know them as “The Federal Reserve”, the IMF (International Monetary Fund), The CFR (Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, and The Bilderberg Group.

During my recent time away from this site, I’ve had the opportunity to do some research on the current “economic crisis”. Since last summer (2008), I’ve been researching many sources and following in particular Mr. Lindsey Williams and his first hand experience to who these men are. His testimony will greatly enhance your understanding of todays economy and the direction they (the above mentioned groups) are wanting to take not only our country, but the entire world. I posted a short blog page about Mr. Williams last summer… “The World Bank and IMF are controlling Gas Prices?“. I highly recommend that you watch this set of YouTube videos I posted and try to purchase his latest DVD.

My research has included the books The Guardians of the Grail, The Illuminati, The Creature From Jekyll Island (A Second Look at the Federal Reserve), and the documentary DVDs of Chaplin Lindsey Williams, The Money Masters, The Monopoly Men, the late Aaron Russo’s “Freedom to Fascism“, and most recently EndGame (Blueprint to Global Enslavement) and The Obama Deception by Alex Jones.

Most people will try to dismiss these men as a “Conspiracy Theory”; but I’m 110% convinced that these are conspiracy FACTS and that the position of the President of the United States is nothing more than a Political Puppet… The leading public figure for The Elite (for the past 96 years), implementing policy according to their agenda to usher in the “New World Order”; otherwise known as “Global Government”. All of this has been manipulated by non-other than the master deceiver himself; Satan.

According to the minor and major prophets of the bible (Books of Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, and of course Revelation), he (Satan via the “AntiChrist and False Prophet) will implement a one world government, one world religion, and a one world identification system; control the world’s money supply and inflict terrible persecution upon the Christians, Jews, and the nation of Israel in the very near future. Their entrance onto the world stage can be found in Revelation 13.

The prophecies of the Bible are coming to pass right before our very eyes… so don’t be “A Sleeping Christian“!

Hosea 4:6 says – My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.

I’m not going to reinvent the wheel here, so my purpose is to simply share this information with you and encourage you to pick up some of these materials and learn for yourself (Particularly the King James Bible). As you become more aware of the truth, everything that you are hearing in the mainstream media will begin to make some sense.

So keep on “praying that you’re counted worthy to escape” (Lk 21:34-36) the coming pressure cooker know as the “Tribulation”. It most certainly be a time of faith testing unlike any other time in history to those who are walking in disobedience to our Lord, Jesus Christ.

The following video discusses the plans of the Elite regarding America, the One World Government, and the global population. Of course, this should/will happen ONLY after the Escape according to Luke 21:36.

Mayer Amschel Rothchild, the grand master of international banking is quoted:

“Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation and I care not who makes its laws.”

Thomas Jefferson (3rd president of US (1743-1826):

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

Counting of the Omer (Passover to Pentecost)

Sunday April 12, 2009 was יוֹם הֲנָפַת הָעֹמֶר Yom Hanafat Ha’omer (Day of the Waving of the Sheaf). When the Temple stood this day marked the official commencement of the grain harvest (Dt 16:7) and sheaves of barley were cut and brought to the Temple as a wave-offering (Lev 23:9-14). This day also marks the beginning of the 50-day count to חַג הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת‏ Shavuot (Pentecost; Feast of Weeks). Yom Hanafat Ha’omer is counted as Day 1 and Shavuot as Day 50.

There are different methods of counting the 50 days. According to some the commandment ‘and you shall count for yourselves fifty days’ means to simply observe the 50th day as Shavuot while others actually declare out loud the number on each of the fifty days. A medieval Karaite practice combines two different methods of declaring the daily count. The first method is the counting of seven weeks. Each day, the number of the week and the number of the day in the week are declared. So for example, the first day is ‘first day of the first week’. The second counting method used is an overall number for each day. In this method Day one is ‘the first day’ and Day 25 is ‘the twenty-fifth day’. These two methods are used to satisfy the commandment to count seven weeks (Dt 16:9) as well as the commandment to count fifty days (Lev 23:16). Below is a list of the counting for each day.

WEEK 1

April 12, 2009:
Today is the 1st day of the 1st week of seven weeks. Today is the 1st day of the counting of fifty days from the day of the waving of the Omer on the morrow after the Sabbath.

Crown of Thorns’ Galaxy Photographed in Space

An unusual large galaxy with a shape bordering between spiral and elliptical has been spotted by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.

NGC 7049 sits in the southern constellation Indus, and is the brightest of a cluster of galaxies, a so-called Brightest Cluster Galaxy (BCG). Typical BCGs are some of the oldest and most massive galaxies, which provide excellent opportunities for astronomers to study the elusive globular clusters lurking within.

The halo, a ghostly region of diffuse light surrounding the galaxy, is composed of myriads of individual stars and provides a luminous background to the swirling ring of dust lanes surrounding NGC 7049’s core.

Small faint points of light sprinkled throughout the galaxy represent globular clusters, which are gravitational groupings of several hundreds of thousands of stars. They contain some of the first stars to be produced in a galaxy.

NGC 7049 has far fewer such clusters than other similar giant galaxies in very big, rich groups. This indicates to astronomers how the surrounding environment influenced the formation of galaxy halos in the early universe.

Hubble captured this image using its Advanced Camera for Surveys, which is primed to hunt galaxies and galaxy clusters in the remote and ancient universe. The space telescope recently imaged a group of colliding galaxies chosen in an online voting contest.

Remembering and Passover…

It has been written here over the past couple days that one of the things the Lord is speaking to us today is that we need to remember what He has done. Over and over again we are told to remember. Remember what He has done in your life. I have had my own “crossing the red sea” experiences with the Lord and I am to remember them daily. Remembering what He has done leads us into thanks and praise, and thanks and praise leads us into His presence.

Today is Passover. We need to remember what the Lord did for our brothers in Egypt, what He did for us on the cross, and how in the near future, the coming destruction will “PASSOVER” us as well. This generation specifically has been given promises. Pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all thats about to happen and stand before the Son of man. Why pray that? Because only Noah’s family and the animals were counted worthy to escape in the ark, and only Lot and his family were counted worthy to escape Sodom.

So many people take for granted what is written. They’ve heard sugar coated words from their hired hand pastors for so long now that its inconceivable to them that they could be left behind. In addition to this, there are people calling themselves “Mid-Trib, Pre-Wrath, and Post-Trib” who willfully deny the word of the Lord that he can and will show up any hour any day, to include today. They deny He will show up today, they refuse to pray for escape from all because they do not believe there is an escape from all, once again, ignoring the word of God in favor of their pet doctrines. I sincerely think there will be a price for that thinking and teaching and the price will be high.

The destruction coming on this world will show up from so many different angles all at once, that people will be overwhelmed. People are stocking up on food and guns, but what about stocking up on prayers to the Most High God? The bible tells us that if the Lord does not watch over the city, the watchmen watch in vain. The sense I have today is that there is a withdrawal taking place. The Lord has been on this topic with me of bringing the focus in off of all the things happening in the world. The watchmen have done their job. The world has been warned, for years now. I hear the noise of bags being packed and luggage being stacked for the exodus. In our case, the escape (Rapture).

Only the Lord knows how many days we have left here. Passover starts today. Moses went into the Ark on May 11th of this year (the anniversary of the event – 2nd month/17th day – Gen 7:11). Why do I bring that up? The Lord said just as in the days of Noah and Lot, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man. Just like that. I am convinced that when this escape happens, we will look back on it and say “WOW…Lord, you said just like the days of Noah and Lot and you weren’t kidding…” Does that mean the Lord will show up on May 11th, who knows? What I do know is that the walls that have protected humanity from the power of evil for lifetimes, is now crumbling. The barbarians are at the gate, only this time its not human barbarians, this time they are demonic.

Those who will be counted worthy of the escape are preparing today for it. Those who will go into the time of Jacob’s trouble are also preparing for it today. Death on a scale unimaginable is coming to this world very soon. As I pass by the masses of people each day I think to myself how grievous it is that most will not make it through the narrow gate that leads to life. They have been lied to, and they have believed and even loved the lies. I realize that I am nothing special, but I am loved. I realize that I could have been one of them, and if I don’t watch myself carefully I still could be one of them. The “them” I refer to are those on the broad path that leads to destruction. The death of the wicked brings no joy to our Lord so it should not bring joy to us. What troubles me most is this thing the Lord keeps in the center of my mind at all times, which is: all the people who think they are “saved” yet they don’t “know Him” (Jesus).

Matt 7:21 tells us:

I Never Knew You

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. ²² Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ ²³ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’

I cannot imagine anything worse than being told by Jesus “I never knew you.” My heart shatters in a million pieces when I imagine the scene that will be that day. Where are the servants of the Lord today who are taking people by the shoulders and shaking them saying “WAKE UP…ONLY A FEW WILL MAKE IT.” Nobody wants to hear it but everybody HAS TO HEAR IT. Why? Because Jesus, not me, sent that warning in His word, which like so many other things in the word of God, are hopped, skipped and jumped over as “inconvenient” for church growth, “tithes and offerings,” the “pastor’s” popularity, etc., etc., etc.

People say “we weren’t given a spirit of fear so I’m not listening!” That’s great, but they better figure out soon what the fear of the Lord means.

Matt 10:28
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.<—that was written to YOU

Psalm 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom;
A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever.

You don’t even start to know what wisdom is until you “GET” the fear of the Lord.

Proverbs 9:10
“ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

You have no idea what understanding is until you KNOW HIM. Knowing Jesus Christ in an intimate relationship is how you get wisdom and understanding. These people who have the religious man-made, canned and packaged “degrees” are running about today chasing each others tails, around and around they go with “experts” on opposite sides of every argument, and none of them getting any closer to the truth. Why? They have degrees and man made pedigrees stacked from floor to ceiling, but they don’t know HIM.

Remember today (everyday) what he has done for our fathers, and what he has done for us. Know Him today, make sure He knows you. If it costs you everything you have, be sure you are “in Christ” so on that day you will not hear those dreadful, agonizing words “away from me you evildoers, I never knew you.” My heart breaks to the point of tears. You are dearly loved, keep the faith.

The Calm Before The Storm

Starting today (Passover 2009), we are entering a high risk period that runs all the way through to this fall. I don’t want too deep into the “why” except to say the signs are mounting, evidence is piling up that something big is about to take place. We are entering into the time of the year when the Lord’s Feast Days are in our neighborhood, and they are always loaded with prophetic implication.

Some other reasons I expect big things in the near future is that the world as its going right now is unsustainable. We cannot and will not stay on this path much longer. For many people in America today, life goes on, business as usual in spite of everything going on around us. With 700,000 people losing their jobs every month, losing their homes, an entire generation (baby boomers) being raped of their retirements, people from all walks of life lining up for food stamps, do you think that’s “sustainable” for much longer?

I was shocked to learn not too long ago that the “man of sin” or his surrogate plans to “come out” on the day the stock markets of the world collapse. Speaking of stock markets, to show how arrogant and greedy these people (Federal Reserve and International Bankers (IMF)) are manipulating things, they are not yet satisfied with what they have stolen from the people of the world. They have one more final sweep of the arm to collect ALL the remaining financial chips on the table.

Think about what’s going to happen when the stock market starts climbing… we’ve gone from 6k to 7k, then we’ll climb to 8k, then 9k, at some point in there people will think “hey, we’re back baby! I’m goin ALL IN!” The market may climb to 10 or even 11k then you’ll hear a sucking sound like letting the bathwater out of your tub, slurp, slurp, slurp will be the sound of everything remaining of people’s savings and or new debt they took on to get greedy and make a “killing” in the market, proving that they have learned nothing, even after all we’ve been through, and leading many to the feet of anti-christ who will promise to “fix” everything for them.

The anti-christ comes conquering and to conquer, that’s the first seal of Revelation 6. Disregard the so called “experts” who tell you this guy has “no arrows” because arrows or not, he goes out conquering and we are told in the book of Daniel that he “destroys wonderfully.” Many will still be looking for some “peace deal” while the anti-christ has already made a covenant with MANY and is out conquering the world. Deception is the hallmark of our days….

Back to Americans living more or less as they always have. For those who have not been laid off, or taken the horns of the financial mess we are in…life goes on as usual.

I can tell you that in the Washington DC area you would never know there was a financial crises if the media didn’t tell you. The restaurants are always packed. I go by an outback steakhouse routinely and every night I go by it…every night, its packed. I recently met a friend at a restaurant in a different area of Fairfax, packed full of people. We have a neighbor who goes to sell stuff at craft shows and she tells us she’s made more from selling craft stuff recently than she ever has…eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, planting and building right up to the day that Noah entered the ark, then the flood came and swept them all away…

Today is most assuredly a pre-flood day. The days ahead of us, and I mean days now, are loaded. I will be shocked if this world resembles anything similar to today come October of this year. Not that I think the changes will take that long to arrive, but so many indicators, so many signs will have to be empty harbingers for that to be the case.

That said, could we make it all the way through the summer with “business as usual” still prevailing in the world? Sure we could! Why. Satan’s timeline holds no water, we know he wants to get started but he is being restrained from doing so…Until our God determines that just the right day and hour has arrived, we stay on “cruise control.” That means living in days that are pre-flood, pre-brimstone. Days before Noah walked into the ark and Lot walked out of Sodom. Just look at how long we have been in this climate of jobless, fear mongering by the media, financial rape of the taxpayer by the government and its leeching large corporations, and all that with no end in sight……Rest assured, there is an end to it, and I believe that end is coming soon!

Alot to do today, remain “in Him.” grace and peace

The Blessing of the Sun (Passover)

14 Nisan – Wednesday April 8, 2009 – Passover

1. Joshua lifted up his eyes and saw the Lord with a sword in His hand. Jericho march (Joshua 5:10-15)
2. Cain and Abel offer their sacrifices to God.

Digging a little deeper….

One other very significant event happens on Passover this year! Because the sun and the moon and the stars are set on their courses and don’t deviate, eclipses and many celestial events can be determined way in advance. The sun was created on the 4^th day in Genesis. That means it was a Wednesday.

We now know that when the Earth to go around the Sun its approx 365.25 days… Or 365 days and 6 hours. Which is why after 4 years we have to add a day to keep things in sync. 6 x 4=24hrs. As you know there are 7 days in a week and 52 weeks in a year.

Well, 52 x 7 is 364 days.  So week wise a year is 52 weeks 1 day and 6 hours. This is why one year your birthday is on a Tuesday and the next year a Wednesday. Because of this, when the year is up, the sun is not in the same position as it originally was but on a different day of the week and in a position 6hrs later. So, it takes 28 years for the sun to be in the exact same position that it was at the very beginning on a Wednesday.

Every 28 years the Jews, who always love to come up with a reason to bless God, bless the Lord for the creation of the sun as it is back in the same place it was when God created it in Gen 1!

Well guess what? It is a very rare event when Passover falls on a Wednesday coinciding exactly with the very same year as the blessing for the creation of the sun occurs! It happened on Passover, the year of the actual Exodus with Moses, it happened on Passover the year of Haman and the book of Esther, and it happens this year, Today!!

If you have time as an individual or a group join with the Jewish community on Wednesday April 8^th and bless the Lord that He brought the “Light of the world” on the very day of Passover this year!

What does this mean for believers? I don’t know other than to realize a new cycle is beginning, as Nisan is also the beginning of the religious year. Let’s not forget that we are in the first year of a new 7 year cycle (that either began last September or last month on Nisan 1 – depending on if the true Sabbatical Cycle begins with the Civil or Religious Calendar), and finally the beginning of a new 28 year solar cycle.

How’s that for signs of new beginnings? And God said He has placed the sun in the heaven for signs during His Festivals so let’s keep our eyes open!

Thank you Pastor Mark Biltz – El Shaddai Ministries

Are You A Sleeping Christian?

Are you a sleeping Christian?
Can you not discern the times?
If you were watching for Him,
you’d surely see the signs!

They mock our Christian morals,
and hate our friends, the Jews;
to see how values have collapsed,
you’ve but to watch the news!

The “alternate” lifestyle is the norm,
true marriage has no worth.
When the Bridegroom comes for us,
will He find faith on earth?

Earthquakes and storms abound,
and famine’s on the rise.
If our precious Savior came today,
would you meet Him in the sky?

Time is shorter than you think,
put eternity on your mind.
If you’re not ready when He comes,
you may well be left behind!

Have you lost your love for Him?
Do you not serve Him any more?
You’d best wake up, for when He calls,
if you’re asleep, He’ll shut the door!

Peggy McIlveene – January 16, 2004

Thank you Peggy for this great poem… time is sooo short; Examine yourself and ensure that you are obeying His commands as you first did when you met Him!

2 Corinthians 13:5 (NKJV)

Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.
