Boy Who Visited Heaven Is Mocked By MSNBC Host

Posted in Days of Noah, End Times Prophecy, Rapture, Salvation, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on March 23, 2011|

This is an unbelievable story.  First off, I believe the boy 100%.  I feel it in my heart and soul.

I can’t believe how this “journalist” treats the story and the boy.

We are in the last days!

Jude 1:18 (NIV) – They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.”

Boy Who Visited Heaven Is Mocked By MSNBC Host

This morning, on NBC’s top-rated show, “Today,” Matt Lauer spent considerable time with Colton Burpo, the young boy from Nebraska who claims that he visited heaven during an operation that saved his life.

Colton’s story became a New York Times, non-fiction, best-seller called “Heaven Is For Real.” But the Today Show was not the young man’s first big media interview, he’s been on other national tv shows including a Fox News Network appearance last Fall with Gretchen Carlson.

After this moving interview, the Colton Burpo story took a strange turn.

While doing some background interview for this story, I also stumbled into a clip of MSNBC‘s ’rising star’ Cenk Uygur.  Prior to sliding into the 6pm slot on MSNBC, Uygur hosted an internet-based political opinion show called The Young Turks.

Rapture Index Nears an All-Time High

Posted in Earthquakes, End Times Prophecy, Pestilence, Weather signs, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 12, 2011|

One of the things that you will hear a lot once you start studying end times prophecy are “birth pains”, or “sorrows”.  Jesus spoke of them during his sermon on the  mount as one of the key warnings we should look for.

Mark 13:8 (New King James Version) – 8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be earthquakes in various places, and there will be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows.

Anyone who has had a baby or been a part of the process understands this process all to well but for those that haven’t, the contractions during the birth process begin slowly and fairly far apart, the severity of the pain is also small at first and grows exponentially.

This is what Christ was talking about in the sermon on the mount.  Once we enter the “last days”, we will see specific signs.  We will know that they are the signs by the pattern at which they come.  They will start off slow, infrequent and of a small magnitude and ramp up in intensity and become so close together you hardly have a chance to breath between each event.

This is what we have been seeing over the last year or two.  It all started shortly after World War II with the creation of Israel (which fulfilled a portion of Ezekiel’s prophecy) and has been magnifying ever since.

The team at Rapture Ready.com has developed an index in which they tried to track this at a high level.  I will let Todd, explain in further in the great article below…

Rapture Index Nears an All-Time High

Mar 7, 2011

If you think we might be a seeing a sharp rise in end-time activity, you would be correct. I’ve never seen a time when so many headlines are being ripped right from Bible prophecy. Over the past two months, Rapture Ready has had a 40-percent rise in its traffic load. A large portion of the hits come from thousands of people looking to see what Bible prophecy has to say about ongoing current events. Many of the key search subjects are related to earthquakes, the weather, the Middle East, and the economy.

Thy Kingdom Come – Thy Will Be Done

Posted in End Times Prophecy, Rapture, Salvation, tagged , , , , , , , , , on March 11, 2011|

One of two articles I wanted to post due to the recent events.

I think they really sum up what is important and what we should be doing / praying for during these last days.

Thank you Lord for your word and reassurance.  And most especially, for your Son, Jesus Christ!

_________________________________________________________________

“For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.” Psalm 107:9. Most of us studying prophecy know that the Rapture of the Church is on the near horizon. By studying the scriptures we can clearly find documentation focusing on that awesome event. The only part of the information concerning the rapture of Christ’s Church that will remain elusive is when the Rapture will occur. But as the psalmist says, God will fill a longing and hungry soul.

Sometimes I wonder, out of all those who believe Jesus will come and remove His Church from this planet, how many actually long for it and pray that it will happen, and that it will be soon. “When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Luke 11:2.

There’s a reason Jesus gave His disciples this prayer. It’s referred to by most as the Lord’s Prayer, but it should be called the Disciple’s Prayer. Jesus gave us that prayer to invoke God’s will. Each time we pray we should seek His will. What so many refuse to believe is that it’s His will that His Kingdom be set up here on earth. When Jesus finally sets up His earthly Kingdom after the battle of Armageddon His will will be done on earth, just as it is in Heaven.

Japan earthquake latest: Cruise ship and bullet train go missing as Hawaii and Pacific are put on alert for 33-foot tsunami waves

Posted in Earthquakes, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , on March 11, 2011|

8000 times stronger than the Christ Church quake a few weeks ago…

Excellent article with a lot of pictures and video links as well as facts about this major event.

Japan earthquake latest: Cruise ship and bullet train go missing as Hawaii and Pacific are put on alert for 33-foot tsunami waves

A large number of tourists are thought to be among 400 passengers feared drowned after a high-speed bullet train and cruise ship went missing following the devastating Japanese earthquake earlier today.The massive earthquake – 8,000 times stronger than the one that hist New Zealand last month – sent a catastrophic 33 foot tsunami hurtling across the Pacific Ocean.

Thousands of people were forced to flee for their lives as the massive wave bore down on them, sweeping away everything in its path.

This afternoon, the Japanese declared a state of emergency at a nuclear power plant in Fukushima after the 8.9 quake caused the cooling system to fail.

Meanwhile, a ship carrying 100 people was swept away by the tsunami and bullet train carrying hundreds of passengers in the Miyagi region was missing. Their fate is unknown.

Terrifying: The tsunami slams into the shore line along Iwanuma in northern Japan after the 8.9 eathquake struck today

At least 200 to 300 bodies have been found in Sendai city, while dozens others were reported to have been killed in other areas of Japan.

Miyagi police also said that a ship carrying more than 100 people was washed away by a tsunami, without providing more details.

The death toll has now risen to 300 but it is feared thousands more are at risk as the true scale of the devastation becomes apparent and the tsunami rips across the ocean.

Tsunami warnings have been issued across the entire Pacific, as far away as South America, Canada, Alaska and the entire U.S. West Coast.

Agency: North American plate snapped upward…

Posted in Earthquakes, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , on March 11, 2011|

The quote that caught my attention was:

“There aren’t many instances in which such a large earthquake occurs right after a magnitude 7-class quake,” said an official at the agency. “This is a highly unusual case.”

We need to start paying attention and make sure we are on the right path!  The narrow road is one of faith, believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior, His resurrection.  Accept His gift to us, it is not through works but through faith in Him that we receive our salvation.

We are not in control.

Latest Temblor An Interplate Quake: Meteorological Agency

TOKYO (Nikkei)–The major earthquake that struck northeastern Japan on Friday had the hallmarks of an interplate quake, which occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plates.

At the area near the epicenter, the North American plate, on which part of the Japanese archipelago lies, slips under the Pacific plate. The temblor was likely triggered when the North American plate snapped upward, releasing the accumulated strain.

A whirlpool caused by the quake-triggered tsunami at Tomakomai port in Hokkaido.

Earth crust rupture 150 miles long, 50 miles wide…

Posted in Earthquakes, End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , on March 11, 2011|

This was a major sign.  God is trying to get our attention.  There have been over 100 aftershocks of over 5.0.  This quake hit at a depth of only 6 miles about 81 miles off the coast.  That is quite a big rupture in the earths crust!  150 miles by 50 miles.  Sending 8 foot waves halfway across our planet.

Earth crust rupture 150 miles long, 50 miles wide...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A massive earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan Friday was the strongest quake in the area in nearly 1,200 years.

David Applegate, a senior science adviser for earthquake and geologic hazards for the U.S. Geological Survey, said the 8.9-magnitude quake ruptured a patch of the earth’s crust 150 miles long and 50 miles across.

He said the earthquake, which also spawned a massive tsunami that hit Japan before racing across the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii and the West Coast of the United States, likely caused tens of billions of dollars in structural damage in Japan.

Laura K. Furgione, deputy director for the National Weather Service, said the tsunami first hit Hawaii early Friday morning. An 8.1-foot wave destroyed piers and docks in Crescent City, Calif., later Friday.

List of articles in the headlines today by prophecy topic…(I will continue to update it with additional articles throughout the day.)

Note from myblessedhope:

Unbelievable headlines this week, things are speeding up so fast now that there is no way I can keep up.  The birth pains are so close and on so many fronts.  There are about 20-30 articles in the list below that I would love to write up individually, but just don’t have the time.  I will get to as many as possible, but please check them out via the links for now.  Time is growing short… We must turn back to God, may God’s will be done.

Ephesians 2:8-9 – “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not of yourselves, it is a gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.”

Israel is at the Heart of Prophecy

Israel is at the Heart of Prophecy

Nov 29, 2010

I was talking with a friend recently, and we were discussing questions we get while speaking.

One of the most popular is, “How do we know we are in the last days?” A perhaps more popular version of this question is, “How do we know Jesus is coming back soon?”

Ninety-nine percent of the time, I hear this question answered with a New Testament verse or verses. That of course is legitimate. However, there is a fascinating reference in the Old Testament, and it has become my favorite answer.

In Psalm 102:16, we read:

“When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.”

Preterists and others hostile to Israel and predictive prophecy answer that this must refer to Christ’s first coming. Yet…was the Lord building Zion on that electric night in Bethlehem? An emphatic “no.”

The Romans were pressing the inhabitants of the Holy Land under a dictatorial heel at that precise moment, and for a few centuries after that. In fact, after several decades of Jewish sovereignty under the leadership and aftermath of the Maccabees, who had taken control of Judea from the Seleucid Empire, that sovereignty came to an end.

In the first century, B.C., this Jewish rebel army gave way to the powerful Romans.

So at that stage of history, the Lord was not building Zion.

He has, however, been building Zion since the late 19th century, and now millions of Jews live in their ancestral land.

2012 Apocalypse — Postponed

Posted in End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , on October 21, 2010|

Maybe, maybe not…postponed…interesting article.

2012 Apocalypse — Postponed

Good news -- the Mayan calendar may not end on Dec. 21, 2012.

U.S. Dept. of Energy

Good news — the Mayan calendar may not end on Dec. 21, 2012.

The end of the world is coming! Or here, maybe. Or did it already happen?

It’s a good news/bad news situation for believers in the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. The good news is that the Mayan calendar may not end on Dec. 21, 2012 (and, by extension, the world may not end along with it). The bad news for prophecy believers? If the calendar doesn’t end in December 2012, no one knows when it actually will — or if it has already.

Sec’y Clinton decries ascending violence in world

Posted in End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , , , on October 15, 2010|

This is just one case, but a good example of the evidence we are living in a day like the “days of Noah”.  Violence has increased exponentially, we keep being told it is just more publicized but I disagree.  The world us much less safe and violent, than just 20 years ago…

Sec’y Clinton decries ascending violence in world

WASHINGTON – Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is assailing “the absolute barbarity” displayed by terrorists and criminals around the world.

Clinton tells ABC television that the U.S. government is doing everything possible to help the family of David Hartley, an American tourist who reportedly was murdered on a Texas-Mexico border lake. Clinton, travelling in Europe, says “the beheaded body of the brave Mexican investigator that just showed up shows what we’re dealing with.”

In Your Anger Do Not Sin

Posted in End Times Prophecy, tagged , , , , , on October 12, 2010|

Very good article from Jack Kelly, this week.  It is something we all need to consider as we deal with the increased stress and tension of these last days, while we occupy till He returns…

_________________________________________________________________

In Your Anger Do Not Sin

“In your anger do not sin. Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:26).”

This is the verse the Lord impressed upon my heart as I was asking for a topic for this article. It’s familiar to anyone who has ever experienced any Christian counseling, and like many Bible verses it bears closer examination.  Translations differ slightly in rendering this passage and the Greek contains some interesting insights, but Paul was quoting from Psalm 4 where the intent of the passage was established. Let’s begin there.

Tropical Storm Matthew deluges Central America

Posted in End Times Prophecy, Weather signs, tagged , , , , , , on September 26, 2010|

More flooding for central america, it is amazing how much we have seen this year.

Luke 21:25 (NIV) – “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.”

Tropical Storm Matthew deluges Central America

Tropical Storm Matthew drenched Central America Saturday with torrential rain, forcing thousands to evacuate and bringing fresh misery to a region were hundreds have died in flooding and landslides this year.

With communities in several countries on red alert, Matthew surged ashore in northeastern Nicaragua then headed west, dumping rain across much of Honduras, where about 15 people were missing after boarding a sailboat.

In Haiti, an unrelated freak storm killed at least five survivors from its devastating January quake and wounded dozens as it blasted through the capital Port-au-Prince, tearing down shabby tent homes, trees and power lines.
