The signs are many but so are the distractions of this world.  I know many who are asleep or deceived.  It is heavy on my heart and weighs down the joy I have of Christ’s return, knowing that some I know may not make the trip.  Still my heart cry’s out, Maranatha!

Maranatha Lord, come quickly!

Evacuation Notice 2

By Pete Rose


In the very near future there will be an evacuation (commonly known as the rapture) of all born again Christians from this planet. This evacuation will take place with no prior warning, its date and time will not be announced. You must therefore be ready at all times. Jesus in your heart is your ticket for this event. (Matthew 24:36, 1Thessalonians 4:13-18)

We are far into the period of time known as the beginnings of sorrows, or birth pangs. Signs of the coming tribulation period are multiplying exponentially. Since this evacuation must occur before the tribulation period can begin, it is even that much closer. As noted above, this evacuation will only affect born again Christians. If you have not received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, when it comes you will be left behind to go through a time of trouble Jesus described as being like no other before it, or ever to follow it. You don’t want to be here when this comes to pass.

Some signs of the times:

Multiplying earthquakes. Magnitude 6 (strong) earthquakes are taking place almost daily all around the world now. Twice in the past 10 years magnitude 9 (devastating) earthquakes have caused horrific tsunamis, killing thousands.

Did you know in the Jewish Talmud (Sanhedrin 97b) that there is a list of ten signs called the “Birthpangs of the Messiah”?

Modern rabbis admit they don’t know why the signs are called this but as Christians, especially Christians that are “watchmen” and study prophecy, these should be very familiar.  See what you think.

Birthpangs of the Messiah – (Talmud, Sanhedrin 97b)

  1. The Jews will return to their biblical homeland and the desert will bloom.
  2. The world will be in a state of complete degradation.
  3. Truth will decrease and lies will prevail.
  4. Inflation will be out of control.
  5. There will be fewer and fewer wise and righteous people.
  6. Many Jews will give up the hope of redemption.
  7. The young will treat the old with disrespect.
  8. Learning will be rejected because people will desire a life of ease.
  9. The whole world will turn against Israel.
  10. The Jews will fight each other (the secular against the religious).

The Talmud also adds that God will defeat Israels enemies in the war of Gog and Magog and confirm the nation of Israel is God’s chosen people (Ezekiel 38 and 39).

Is that amazing or what?!

It is like a checklist of what we are seeing today.

Not one of those items listed is not being done today and/or at some point of fulfillment.

We as Christians recognize these as the birthpangs that Jesus and his disciples wrote about to describe the time leading up to the tribulation, book-ended by the formation of Israel in 1948 and the climax at the confirming of the seven year peace agreement to officially begin the tribulation period and Daniel’s 79th week.

The good news for us is that Christ will return before that time to remove His church (bride) from this world to protect us from the coming wrath.

Maranatha – Lord come quickly!

If you have not asked Christ into your life, the essential gospel is that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and that He was raised on the third day (1 Cor. 15:3-4).  Believing this is the only qualification for salvation.  We are sinners in need of a savior.  Jesus died for our sins, and to prove that His death was sufficient for us,  God raised Him from the dead on the third day. Believing in our heart that God raised Him from the dead is our assurance that He will raise us, too.
 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, (1 Cor. 15:3-4).

Pastor JD’s most recent prophecy update.  He looks at earthquakes and some of the deception around answers give for the question in the title.  He also gets into the why would God use such destruction.

Being thick-headed myself, I believe it is to get our attention.

I personally have been watching earthquakes daily and it seems like this year we are having a 6.0 pretty much every day.  Last year it was a 5.0’s that you would see everyday.  Definitely a magnitude increase.

Check it out!

God Bless

The following three articles are different examples of how we are seeing deception play out in these last days as well of the effects of that deception: good is evil and evil is good.  Everything is backwards.

First is an article on the situation our troops are facing and the complete deception on facts we are receiving.  Where is the gratitude?  Where is the thankfulness for our young men and women laying down their lives to try and help them?  There is none.  That seems to be the norm these days.  The Days of Noah are upon us!

Second is an article on what we are turning our country into: Entitlement USA.  We are told day and night that everything we are doing is good and positive.  But we are really destroying both those we are “helping” as well as ourselves with this unsustainable aid.  Where is the genuine gratitude?  All I hear is bold entitlement.  The attitude and entitlement is simply amazing in the attached video.  My favorite line was plaintiff response to the question what do you do?

Answer?  Drum roll please…

“I’m me!”

Third is an article about a topic most having probably never heard about.  It was an article run only on WND.com and then discussed by Rush Limbaugh Radio.  The complete media blackout on this is simply amazing.  The double standard is breath taking and the description obvious.  It is becoming bolder and bolder, as deception envelops this world and the hour grows late. (Birth pains?)

All three articles are must reads.  With deception becoming the norm we must look harder for the truth and pass it on when we find it as many are being deceived. (As Christ said!)  I will try to do some of that hear but check out the sources on my links section (right hand side) they are the sources of truth I have been able to find so far.

God Bless!

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.
