I try to resist posting anything with even a hint politics here, but I feel the deception is just to great.
The message being fed to everyone by our current government is a sign of the end times.
I am so sick of hearing “take it from the rich!”
Bill Whittle does a great job of staying on the facts only, not political, and pointing out what is wrong with the current proposed strategy. Please pass this along to your friends and colleagues, this “logic” (illogical) has got to stop…
If you want to skip the hint of politics, start at the 2:20 minute mark…
Most of you by know know that I deal with facts, eviodence, and hard proof concerning events that are taking place in these last days. Since Jesus told us to look for signs in the sun, the moon, and the starsSome of you have asked me if I have any news about Comet Elenin? Some of you have asked me if anyone can see this comet yet? I have received emails from some people living in Australia telling me they can see it. I can only tell you what I am being told. Living in California I can tell you I can not see anything of Elenin yet! The person who took the video below was in North Wales.
This video was taken with a standard camera phone on 14th September 2011. Some people watching the video have said that the dot to the left is a result of not using a filter on the camera, and that the round dots are not a comet. You will see from the video that he actually moves the camera around and the reflections from the camera move around with it but the object to the left does not move a all. Watch the video and I want to ask you something?
I hope by now you understand I am always trying to get to the truth of the matters. So, may I ask everyone who have watched my International radio show at The Edge, this prophecy site, and my youtube video to do me a favor. I have people from just about all parts of the globe. If you can see Comet Elenin where you live could you take a picutre, or pictures of it and send them to me via the email. I will post them here at my site. If Elenin is that big and is truly headed for Earth as the thousands of have said on the Net than we all should be able to see it very soon. I will do my best to bring you the truth.
More on what is headed our way this Fall, Terry does an excellent job laying out some of the back ground and what is coming in his Nearing Midnight article on www.raptureready.com.
Modern Israel, as we consistently say, is the number-one signal of where this generation stands on God’s prophetic timeline. That nation is, therefore, the best example in the geopolitical arena to use for focusing on details of issues and events shaping the stage-setting for Bible prophecy fulfillment. The student who watches Bible prophecy develop from the premillennial, pretrib viewpoint has, with clarity others can’t see, I think, seen Israel come back into its own land, with its ancient national language restored. It did so following a miraculous rebirth into modernity on a single day, just as prophesied (Isa. 66: 6-9). The intricate details of the amazing rebirth are there to be gleaned by the hundreds, if not thousands.
One of the major birth pain signs are earthquakes. Christ warned that as we approached the last days these earthquakes would intensify in both number and size. Frank Dimora pulled together a summary list of what has occurred in the last seven days as well as historically what we are seeing. If there was ever a doubt in your mind that we are seeing an exponential increase check out the number below, and pull the numbers yourself. It is amazing! God’s word being fulfilled…
Prophecy Sign: For all you who just found my web site you need to know I have been warning my readers to watch for the big earth quakes that are going to come soon. I warned my readers about this because of what the Word of God warns in Luke 21:11 where Jesus said there would be “great earthquakes”. Christ also warned us to watch for the many earthquakes in Matthew 24:7. I am not sure if you are paying attention but if not you had better take a look at the number of good size quakes just this past 7 days!
The article below caught my attention this morning, partly because of its topic but also because of its author. I respect Jack Kelly, he is linked to all over my site and has written some of my favorite articles. His most recent article goes contrary to a lot of the articles I have posted here in the last few weeks. I think it is a great read and something we should all ponder.
I agree with him that the key to these end times is to take everything to God in prayer, ask for discernment to know what is truth and what is deception.
That is what I try to do with this site, is bring topics and my perspective on what I have discerned for you to ponder as you study the Bible, the Lord’s Word.
His main point is that Revelations 12 can not be fulfilled until the previous chapters are since Revelations is mainly chronological. I believe both his point and the previous posts can be correct. Let me explain.
Throughout the Bible, many scriptures have dual meanings and fulfillment. Revelations 12 speaks of things to come but also depicts a sign in the heavens.
Question? Do you think God knew we would be able to predict where the stars would be in the future as well as the past? Do you think the thought that those that are “watchful” would be checking for future times around his “feasts” or “holy appointments”? I do but ponder that. I also do not believe what these watchful souls are doing is astrology. They are only looking for how Bible prophecy (“signs in the heavens”) could be fulfilled. God told us to watch the heavens for signs. He created the heavens and all of the signs within it. Are we ignore them, not look at them or for them? I am not sure that is what Jack is saying but I think it is dangerous to label what these believers are doing as Astrology or a sin.
Leviticus 19:26 (KJV) – “You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.”
I do not think I would place the acts of those watchmen as “divination or soothsaying”. Maybe a bit harsh there.
God never said that the signs we would see in the heavens would occur this day and then the next day events would happen. He only said that once we see these “signs” his return is near, that we are in the season or nearing midnight.
Will Elenin fulfill prophecy? I don’t know, but it is an interesting exercise in looking at what effects it could have on our little planet. How those align with events described in the Bible and how much deception there is on earth to cover them up. Would Satan try to cover up and hide God’s signs of the times? You bet. Are these them? I don’t know but that is why we must pray for discernment.
I don’t know when the Lord will return to rapture His bride (the church), but I do feel it is drawing near. There are signs all around us. I believe one set of those signs are His holy feasts or appointments that he laid out for us. The first four Christ fulfilled through his coming, dying for our sins, and over coming death to take His place in heaven next to His Father. I believe He will fulfill the rest of them as well.
So in summary, please read through Jack’s article below, I believe it gives us some good thoughts to ponder. Take everything back to the Lord in prayer; praying for discernment of the truth, God’s word.
You can hear the Messiah’s footsteps, the signs are overwhelming!
Judging by the questions I’ve received, a youTube video and an online article have apparently convinced a lot of people that the fulfillment of Rev. 12 and the rapture of the Church will both occur on Sept 29th of this year, which is the annual celebration of Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Feast of Trumpets. Can this be true?
While Sept. 28-29 are the scheduled dates for Rosh Hashanah this year, and while the rapture could happen on any given day, Rev. 12 definitely can not be fulfilled on Sept. 29, nor on any other day this year or the next or the one after and here’s why.
Rev. 12 speaks primarily of three things. The first is an overview, given in signs, beginning with the time of the Lord’s birth. John used symbolism from Joseph’s 2nd dream (Genesis 37:9-11) to identify the pregnant woman in Rev. 12:1-2 as Israel (represented by Mary) about to give birth to the Messiah. An enormous dragon, identified as Satan in Rev. 12:9, was there waiting to devour the child the moment He was born. This means that from the beginning the Messiah was born to die, and when He did He was taken up to God’s throne. We know this as His crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. (Rev. 12:1-6)
This is a good video that details what the effects of Elenin could be this September from a physics stand point.
It’s effects align almost exactly with those described in Revelations 6:12-14 down to the order of events.
Revelation 6:12-14
New International Version (NIV)
12 I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13 and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
Is it coincidence?
Note: I started the video at the 6:04 minute mark and the segment runs through the 10:34 minute mark. The rest of the video before and after is good, but the text does flash a bit fast as well as a major sound increase. (The middle four and a half minutes is well worth the time.)
Below is a series of studies that Jack Kelly did a while back on the Olivet Discourse and the parables Jesus tells regarding the last days.
These are often the topic of much debate as to their meaning and I think Jack does an excellent job at look at the grammar, customs/traditions of the period, timing, and context to discern who these parables are about.
They are meant to be read in order but have value as stand alone but some loss of context.
This topic came up over the weekend and I felt others would benefit from me dusting these off as well.
More prophecy is closing in on fulfillment. Each day we see more of the world turning on Israel. I believe it will climax at the UN meetings this month, when the Palestinians petition for statehood.
God was very clear on where we should stand!
The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth The spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. (Zechariah 12:1-3)
I am afraid the United States as a nation has joined the crowd.
We as Christians must continue to voice our support!
A perhaps not-so-shocking, but certainly attention-getting, news item points to the ugly head of anti-Semitism arising in not-so-jolly old England these days. The stark growth of Israel and Jew-hating is front and center in the person of the kin of a prominent British leader you will recognize.
Laura Booth, sister-in-law of Quartet envoy Tony Blair, has called on “Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt liberate Al-Quds [Jerusalem].” The former British prime minister’s family member has previously sailed illegally to Gaza on a flotilla boat…During last week’s demonstration, Booth went on another rant against Israel. “We say here today to you, Israel , we see your crimes and we loathe your crimes. And to us your nation does not exist, because it is a criminal injustice against humanity. We want to see Lebanon , Jordan and Egypt go to the borders and stop this now. Liberate Al Quds! March to Al Quds!” (“Blair’s Sister-in-Law Incites Muslims to ‘Liberate’ Jerusalem,” http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/147264#.TlukeV3h98F)
Current issues and events that look to be harbingers of the biblically prophesied apocalypse bombard this generation of earth’s inhabitants. Jesus’ Olivet Discourse prophecies, foretelling things to come in the time of “great tribulation,” seem to leap from news reports that are becoming so routine that they no longer shock. No signal is more prophetically significant than present circumstances involving the city where Jesus was crucified nearly twenty centuries ago.
Below is a great article from Rapture Ready by Todd this week.
He does a good job outlining the deception and manipulation that is going on these days.
It is one of the major signs the Lord used to draw me into Bible Prophecy and it is escalating more every day to the point that today, they do not even try to hide it.
I have always maintained that the liberal media is Satan’s most effective tool for guiding and controlling society. It is the flesh and bone of spiritual forces that seek to guide and corrupt our society. In the past few years, the liberal media seems to have become more active in fulfilling the will of its master.
It is almost pointless to try to combat the social and political ills unless you take into consideration the liberal media. It has the power to set the rules. By putting its thumb on the scale, it can determine the winner of most public debates.
The finger of blame is rarely ever pointed at the liberal media for society’s ills. This is because the press is in charge of fixing the blame. Letting the liberal media decide if it’s partly to blame for our country’s moral decline is like putting tobacco companies in charge of finding out what causes lung cancer.
One of the puzzles I have been trying to work through in by head is how will the Psalm 83 prophecy be fulfilled. For the longest time there were several roadblocks that kept this from being a feasible occurence. Some examples would be:
– Turkey was a NATO ally and future member of the EU
– Libya was under a secular dictator
– Egypt was protecting Israel’s southern border and under a secular dictator.
– Syria was under a secular dictator.
– Iraq was under US protection with a major military presence. This acted as a buffer between Israel and Iran.
Why do I list these in particular? Because of God’s prophecy in Psalm 83.
Psalm 83
1 O God, do not remain silent; do not turn a deaf ear, do not stand aloof, O God. 2 See how your enemies growl, how your foes rear their heads. 3 With cunning they conspire against your people; they plot against those you cherish. 4 “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
Here is a timeline of what is coming our way this month. While I was at work today, I had a feeling come over me that I needed to layout this timeline on my site this evening. There is just so much coming our way and intersecting later this month. Low and behold, I open up Frank DiMora’s site and he has laid out just such a timeline.
The Lord works in mysterious and wonderful ways!
Read through this excerpt below. Frank covered all the points I had in my notes so see what is in store for us this month.
Also, check out the link at the end of the post back to Frank’s entire blog post this evening. A lot of good content there about other signs beyond this time line…
Since I have been warning you about all the events that are supposed to occur in the month of September in many of my posts, I wanted to give you a list of events that are supposed to be played out.
World and natural events continue to escalate at an alarming rate. The economy continues its slide into the abyss. Seismographic and volcanic activity are at historic highs and have risen dramatically in the last fee weeks. Comet Elenin approaches and may be signaling the event we have been preaching about called the Rapture. Bible prophecy continues to prove that the Bible is the true word of God.
Too much is happening to go over it all. Following is a list upcoming dates and their events and afterwards a commentary on the more important ones.
Sept 7: Obama to make speech on jobs and economy. Don’t expect to much from this speech!
Sept 11: Ten year anniversary of an events that began taking our rights in the name of safety and the illegal wars in the middle east.). Possible terror event to keep the population scared.
Sept 11: Comet Elenin’s closest point to the Sun, which some say will be the cause of some huge quakes.
Sept 11: The Movement for the Establishment of the Temple will hold a “Temple Feast” to bring attention to their cause. This article is short and worth reading. You can see how Revelation 11:1 is coming into play. The confirmation of the covenant in Daniel 9:27 will give the Jews the right to build the temple (it will be built during the Tribulation) and the Antichrist will go into this temple at the 42 month mark, claim to be God, and set up the abomination that causes desolation (Daniel 9, Matthew 24). As with all the prophecies you can see (more…)
This is very exciting and amazing. We are seeing signs all around us that Christ and the Lord foretold us would come as signposts that Christ’s return was near! The Last Days…the rapture…
This is a great video that walks through all of this very well. It is about an hour and a half long, so I am going to try to summarize it here with some screen captures, but I would highly recommend viewing the entire video it is amazing. The screen captures just do not do it justice.
If you are short on time, start at the 1:17 mark through 1:27 to see the context around the screen captures below.
If you don’t have time to watch the video now, here is a quick summary of the last 10 minutes.
First, what is the prophecy we are seeing fulfilled:
Revelations 12:1-6
The Woman and the Dragon
1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. 6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
We will see this play out in the heavens over the next couple months, September and October, 2011. Lets review the key actors or players in this signs in heaven.
Elenin – Comet or Dwarf Star (headed our way)
Moon – Earth’s Moon
Venus – Christ/Church (sometimes called the “morning star” which christ also refered to himself as.)
Revelation 22:16 – “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright MorningStar.”
Saturn – Dragon/Cronus
Sun – Our Sun
So lets break this down:
Revelations 12:1 – 1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
The woman is the constellation Virgo, she will be clothed in the sun (wearing the sun as a tunic) the moon will be under (at) her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head (Virgo has 12 stars that make up her head) and the Comet Elenin with its tail will shine like a blue crown in her head.
The Picture below is from Stellarium on 09-26-11 as the sign comes together… The four red arrows are Elenin, he put a tracker on it so we can see it move in the video.
Here is what we will see on September 26th, 2011 in the eastern sky.
Notice she is clothed in the sun. The other players Venus, Saturn, our Moon, and Elenin are moving into position.
Revelations 12:2 – She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.
Elein will shift up toward Virgo’s face and the comet tail makes it look like she is crying. I do not have a screen shot of this but he mentions it in the video and you can see it by playing the stary night application. Venus is also moving into Virgo’s womb as if she is pregnant with child (Venus). You will notice that Elenin is making its way past the sun and toward her head, Venus and Saturn are moving into her midsection, and the Moon is dropping toward her feet.
Revelations 12:3-4 – Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. 4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.
Saturn is known to represent Cronus, which is known as the dragon. If you look up Cronus in Wikipedia, it talks about the legend of Cronus devouring his children as he feared they would fulfill the prophecy of replacing him. Saturn this whole time all of these heavenly bodies are moving through the heavens is sitting still waiting for the birth of Venus (the morning star) so he can devour him.
Lets see this play out over three days in September:
September 27th (below):
September 28th (below):
Venus has moved fully into her womb, she is still clothed in Sun, Elenin is moving into position to show as tears during the birth, and the moon has dropped further toward her feet. Saturn (the dragon) still waits by Venus to devour him once birthed.
September 29th (below) – Feast of Trumpets:
Venus and Saturn remain in her womb. The sun cloths her and Elenin is moving into her hair to show as a crown. The Moon its decent into a position by her feet.
Second View using Stary Night Program (you can see the comet’s tail better)
September 30th, 2011 (below):
Venus and Saturn remain in her womb. The sun clothes her and Elenin has moved into her hair to show as a crown. The Moon has moved into a position by her feet.
Revelations 12:5 – 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
This is associated with Jesus Christ and the Church being snatched up to God and his throne. Christ was taken up to heaven to rule with the Church (his bride) by His side following the rapture.
Revelations 12:6 -The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
Foreshadows the nation of Israel fleeing into the hills after the rise of the Antichrist, the dragon, that has tried for the length of history to devour God’s Son, Christ, his chosen people Israel, and Christ’s bride, the Church.
These images are taken from a free to download program called Stellarium that lets you see the positions of any heavenly body throughout time, even back to the time of Christ’s birth. (Check out: The Real Star of Bethlehem on youtube Here is the first part.)
I hope you get a chance to watch the entire video about the signs of what is to come. It is very exciting and amazing to see God’s word play out in front of our eyes! Christ said we need to stay watchful during these last days. We need to wake up those that aren’t.
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." -- Ephesians 2:8-10
