Hold Fast, Stay Vigilant, And Watch
1 He who is dwelling || In the secret place of the Most High, || Habitually lodges in the shade of the Mighty, 2 He is saying of YHWH, “My refuge, and my bulwark, my God, I trust in Him,” 3 For He delivers you from the snare of a fowler, || From a calamitous pestilence. 4 He covers you over with His pinion, || And under His wings you trust, || His truth [is] a shield and buckler. 5 You are not afraid of fear by night, || Of arrow that flies by day, 6 Of pestilence that walks in thick darkness, || Of destruction that destroys at noon, 7 One thousand fall at your side, || And a myriad at your right hand, || [But] it does not come near to you. 8 But with your eyes you look, || And you see the reward of the wicked, 9 (For You, O YHWH, [are] my refuge), || You made the Most High your habitation. 10 Evil does not happen to you, || And a plague does not come near your tent, 11 For He charges His messengers for you, || To keep you in all your ways, 12 On the hands they bear you up, || Lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You tread on lion and cobra, || You trample young lion and dragon. 14 Because he has delighted in Me, || I also deliver him—I set him on high, || Because he has known My Name. 15 He calls Me, and I answer him, || I [am] with him in distress, || I deliver him, and honor him. 16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, || And I cause him to look on My salvation!
- Psalm 91 (LSV)
...and I put enmity between you [the serpent] and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He bruises your head, and you bruise His heel.
- Genesis 3:15 (LSV)
Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the Devil walks around as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may swallow up, whom you must resist, steadfast in the faith, having known the same sufferings of your brotherhood to be accomplished in the world.
- 1 Peter 5:8–9 (LSV)
And there was seen another sign in the sky, and behold, a great fire-colored dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads, and his tail draws the third of the stars of the sky, and he cast them to the earth; and the dragon stood before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, he may devour her child; and she brought forth a male son, who is about to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, and her child was snatched up to God and to His throne...

Thoughts As We Watch
There are so many things going on I don't quite know where to begin, so I'll be adding some observations and updates to this post over the next few days (in no particular order). If you have observations and encouragements please add them in the comments and I may include some of them here.
- - -
The six-member U.S.-Israeli mapping committee has just met for the first time (Monday) in order to map out the final borders of Israel. Roughly two-thirds of Judea and Samaria will be carved out in order to give to a future Palestinian state. This is the division of God's covenant land. The world will be judged for this. Israeli elections will be held on Monday and the annexation and division could occur within weeks.
Brother Paul has a great take on this and how these Jewish settlement enclaves actually resemble leaves on the fig tree. Check it out here:
Regarding the Coronavirus: with data now more readily available outside of China. The mortality rate by one calculation stands at about 15%. The calculation is as follows: Total Fatalities / (Total Fatalities + Total Recovered). This may be much higher than the real rate, but we won't know for weeks. However, this is not a crazy figure as SARS was approximately 11% and MERS was over 30%. All three of these viruses are coronaviruses. It is also clear at this point that this is a global pandemic.
Today is exactly 888 days after the Revelation 12 Sign. Today is also the largest daily point drop in the stock market in history (-1,190). The Dow has dropped 13% or about 3,800 points since its high two weeks ago.
Israeli elections will be held on Monday, March 2nd, and March 3rd is Super Tuesday. March 7th may hold significance (per the video above). March 10th is Purim (also may be quite significant). April 3–4 is the Venus-Pleiades conjunction, exactly 923 days after 9/23/17. April 3rd would also be the anniversary of the Crucifixion if Christ died in 33 AD. April 26th is exactly 73 years of 360 days each from the rebirth of Israel. April 26th is also the day Venus reaches peak brightness for the year, and it is the anniversary of Christ's crucifixion if He died in 31.
Going back to the Coronavirus: a major theme in Revelation is "many crowns": 24 elders throw many crowns at the feet of Jesus. The dragon and beast have many crowns on their many heads (Rev. 12–13). Jesus returns wearing many crowns (Rev. 19). Coronaviruses are shaped like crowns and the name itself is Latin for crown. Could the Coronavirus be the dragon's venomous bite or perhaps a shadow of it?
Some of the things we discuss make many feel uncomfortable. I get that. But your discomfort won't keep us from calling these things out. We must continue to do what we believe we are called by God to do. God is sovereign over everything and nothing is arbitrary. We're witnessing things that defy the laws of probability, including numbers, patterns, types and shadows, and Balaamic prophecy.
If you're just now starting to study up on what's going on I would encourage you to start with some of this foundational material:

ReplyDeletecoronis or koronis (Ancient Greek: κορωνίς, plural κορωνίδες, korōnides) is a textual symbol found in ancient Greek papyri that was used to mark the ends of entire works or major sections in poetic and prose texts...https://enacademic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/2065958
Deleteif you use google translate and go from english to hebrew and type in the word:
covid - then hit the arrow to switch sides - it comes up kobe
Whether you believe in pretrib or posttrib....one thing we both have in common is we all will go through the beginning of sorrows....We will be discussing such sorrows for many many months
ReplyDeleteHow many months will the beginning of sorrows last before the Rapture?
DeleteWe agree where it counts dear brother—on salvation (:
DeleteOn sorrows though, I hold to the classical premillennial view in which the seals open at the end of the age. Since we preach the pre-tribulational hope of the Church, that means after the Church is seated in Heaven. The first six seals directly parallel the signs Jesus presents in the Olivet Discourse, which He calls the "beginning of sorrows."
Isaiah 66 tells us that Israel gives birth to a people *before* Israel goes into labor. The labor is the Tribulation. Labor = birth pangs = sorrows = seals = signs in the Olivet Discourse.
Here are a few articles I've written on the topic:
https://www.unsealed.org/2018/06/the-day-of-lord.html
https://www.unsealed.org/2018/09/the-mount-of-olives.html

Jeff has a great one, too:

Just for clarity, this means you believe we will be here for the first six seals?
DeleteAimee
The six seals are during the first half of the Tribulation Period, the first seal is nothing more than the antichrist himself.
DeleteThis time the sacrifice will be done on the threshing floor purchased by King David.

I’d say this is prophetically HUGE though unnecessary, ofc.
Since this virus is a new strain of the flu an early spring could slow it down.
ReplyDeleteFlu viruses thrive during the colder months.
This isn't a new strain of any HxNx flu virus, but a severe strain of the virus which causes the common cold.
DeleteAnd a soon rapture could speed it up. Containment efforts could collapse in the aftermath.
DeleteTurkey is sending Syrian refugees to Europe. If the Covid-19 virus is among them, Europe has a very severe problem. That can easily pave the way for the antichrist coming to power from Europe during a perfect storm of crises:
Delete* Coronavirus wreaking havoc;
* Economic collapse by this virus and war in the Middle-East;
* War in the Middle-East.
Europe already has a severe problem :)
DeleteGary, thank you for the watch and encouragement brother. You are a blessing. The recent news of a second moon is interesting in light of the many dreams in the past few years featuring two moons before the rapture.
ReplyDeleteThe Antarctic looking as if blood has been sprayed all over due to an algal bloom.
The release of your literal translation and the way it potentially prepares those left behind is encouraging.
That is intriguing. I do recall many have those dreams of second moons!
DeleteSomething else I noticed recently. There are something like 195 countries and something like 40 that have regulated/censored internet. In other words, there are approximately 150 something countries with access to the Gospel via the inter-NET. Perhaps a possible fulfillment foreshadowed in John 21. 153 big fish caught in the net. Just an observation that I'm posing as accurate numbers are difficult to come up with.
ReplyDeleteInspector Clouseau, hot on the trail, nice...
DeleteEven those countries that try to regulate/censor their net, people have found ways around it. 'You can't stop the signal, Mal' as that one guy said...
DeleteTrue Kris. And not discrediting your valid input, but still 153 big fish caught in the net might have an interesting parallel here. I'm sure if Jimboni finds anything here, he'll let us know. :-)
DeleteIndeed, also remember that 4/3/20-4/4/20 is Shabbat Ha-Gadol and day of the Jordan River crossing. (Joshua 4:19)
ReplyDeleteMore importantly 4/4 is the tenth day of Nissan each man should take a lamb for his household, a lamb for each home (Exodus 12:3),
6 and you shall keep it until
the fourteenth day of this month,
when the whole assembly of the
congregation of Israel shall kill
their lambs at twilight.
7 Then they shall take some of
the blood and put it on the two
doorposts and the lintel of the
houses in which they eat it."
(Exodus 12:6-7 ESV)
4/3/20 (4/4/20 depending on where you are on the planet) is not only the day that Venus will conjunct with the Seven Sisters but the Moon will be in the Beehive Cluster on the western horizon while Jupiter/Mars/Saturn will be in conjunction on the eastern horizon over North America. Mercury and Neptune will be together in Aquarius, the Sun in Pisces and Uranus (Heaven) in Aries.
Poetry in the heavens.
This virus is destroying the current world order (financial, monetary, economic and societal) as we know it. Fearmongering about this virus among investors at financial markets causes these markets to collapse. Collapsing financial markets can cause banks to collapse, triggering a new financial crisis. See http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/
ReplyDeleteI think that a war in the Middle-East will make things much worse.
Yes, I've been thinking the same. It's still too early to know how bad this virus really is. It may not end up being as bad as 15%, but the economic impact could be the real issue. Panic causes people to hurt themselves.
Delete...and where have we seen in Biblical history a population turning on themselves to their destruction?
DeleteHmmm...
Anyone know if the Pope has the virus? Has he been tested for Coronavirus?
DeleteNo, been wondering about that myself, feel like they will hide it if he is. I do also wonder with so many believing he could be the false prophet if maybe he has just been laying the groundwork for the real false prophet. Also possible he does have virus and will perform his first "miracle".
DeleteOf if he's the '7th king' that will only be around for a little while, with the 8th being the previous one...
DeleteI know parts of that does not really fit, but I believe the parallels are there to remind us of important verses. Especially people who can't see the convergence of parallels, but only see one or two...
Thanks Gary. It will certainly be an interesting, on high alert few weeks for the watching church. Praise the LORD, he is coming soon. 🚫 🍇

DeleteWuhan is the capital of Hubei Province.
ReplyDeleteHubei is home to the White Horse Mountain named in honour of the White Horse which brought Buddhism to China.
A corona is a CROWN.
Revelation 6:2
Plus one might consider the uncanny story of Wuhan-400
Moving right along however the big issues to understand about the coronavirus is that according Chinese researchers it leaves its male victims infertile by damaging the siminiferous tissues in the testis.
It is said Milk Thistle (Silybin marianum) is a dose dependent but complete prophylaxis against HIV-1, Ebola, and MERs. It blocks access to angiotensin-2 receptor by the virus and it mediates the furin/hepcidin axis.
Milk thistle prevents development of a T-cell cytokine storm in organs. It forces the repair of lung tissue and protects the vital organs against oxidative stress.
Vitam D suppresses Angiotensin-2 to a large degree also.
Maranatha
At this point I dont see how the virus can be contained here in the U.S.. Stopping flights from China wont be enough, its worldwide. Are we going to stop all flights from these other countries too?
ReplyDeleteVoluntary isolation is a non answer.
DeleteBlessings, I am not a naysayer, or uncomfortable with these things, I am watching and waiting for my Lord Jesus and I am occupying by loving people into the kingdom while I wait. But in the video the point was brought up that God is going to bring wrath because of a lamb sacrificed on the temple mount. Was not the temple mount used repeatedly for sacrifice after Jesus ascension before 70AD destruction? This was also ignoring the Lamb of God sacrifice no?
ReplyDeleteYes, I am in agreement with you. The Jews still sacrifice lambs as we've seen every Passover. Judgment on the world is coming because of dividing the land. Judgment on Israel is coming for 1. rejecting Messiah, and 2. when the time comes, rebuilding the Temple.
DeleteYea I'm watching also!
ReplyDeleteJust what Paul said to watch for, where to watch and why your looking there to see it!
I dont know if its true or not, its hard to know what sources to trust. But I heard that 14% of people who contract the virus are getting re-infected in China after recovery. And not just that, normally people develop anti-bodies in their immune system when they recover from something. That doesn't seem to be the case with this. It actually weakens people making them more vulnerable the second time around.
ReplyDeleteI saw this as well.

My Refuge and My Fortress
ReplyDelete1 He who dwells in the
shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow
of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the LORD,
"My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 For he will deliver you
from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his
pinions, and under his wings
you will find refuge; his
faithfulness is a shield and
buckler.
5 You will not fear the
terror of the night, nor the
arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that
stalks in darkness, nor the
destruction that wastes at
noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at
your side, ten thousand at
your right hand, but it will
not come near you.
8 You will only look with
your eyes and see the
recompense of the wicked.
9 Because you have made the
LORD your dwelling place --
the Most High, who is my
refuge --
10 no evil shall be allowed
to befall you, no plague come
near your tent.
11 For he will command his
angels concerning you to guard
you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will
bear you up,lest you strike
your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion
and the adder; the young lion
and the serpent you will trample
underfoot.
14 "Becasue he holds fast to me
in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he
knows my name.
15 When he calls to me, I will
answer him; I will be with him
in trouble; I will rescue him
and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy
him and show him my salvation."
(Psalm 91 ESV)
The LXX records verse two as,
2 He will say to the LORD,
"My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
How fitting as we may read His Word as from the perspective of Christ (our Head) and from the perspective of the Church (His body). For as we His body are indwelt by His Holy Spirit we own a share of this promise.
Take heart and fear not brothers and sisters. Hold fast to the promise,
16 "With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation [Yeshua/Jesus]."
Yes, the name Yeshua and Jesus mean the same thing. Salvation.
May He be your salvation today.
Blessing,

Can you show where you are seeing a 20% mortality rate? I am seeing 2 to 5% in the news, which, of course is a way to calm fears.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHello Unknown. The 2% rate is calculated using total cases, but that is not how mortality is normally calculated. The majority of those cases are unresolved. Mortality is based on final outcome. Either you survive or you don't.
DeleteBased on final outcomes, the mortality rate would be 8% at this point. However, that is including highly suspect Chinese data.
Mortality outside of China is about 15%.
I don't recommend Hal Turner's site, but this particular article below is a pretty good breakdown. It also explains well how the mortality rate can be so low in some countries (Singapore) and high in others (Iran, China). It all comes down to medical care. The base mortality rate could be 2-3.6%. Much higher than the flu, but not crazy high as some have said. However, that rate can only be achieved when medical care is available. Because as many as half of infected persons will require medical care (especially oxygen), mortality becomes a product of available hospital beds.
Essentially the situation the world finds itself in is this: quarantine everything and collapse the economy and the mortality rate could stay relatively low (under 5%) + not spread nearly as much. Not quarantine, keep the economy afloat for a short time, but cause community spread. There are only 2.4 hospital beds per 1,000 people.
Link
So this is why the mortality rate shot up in Wuhan for a time to MERS level catastrophe and people were dropping in the streets.
The mortality rate in Singapore is 0%, but the mortality rate in Iran is 33%. Massive difference, perhaps almost all attributed to level of care and availability
Italy is at a whopping 27%, showing this isn't a first world/third world problem, but simply a product of how quickly it spreads in the community.
I didn't factor in how important medical care was. But it makes all the difference when your lungs are filling with fluid. If the rapture occurs soon and containment efforts are thrown into confusion, COVID-19 could literally cause 1/4th to die around the world a la Rev 6. But if quarantine is severe and people can be treated faster than this thing spreads, many will die, but it won't be apocalyptic.

Where in the comments here has anyone mentioned a 20% mortality rate?

ReplyDeleteBURIED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE NEWS
ReplyDeleteTelescopes detect 'biggest explosion since Big Bang
Quoting, BBC,
"The best I [Melanie Johnston-Hollitt] can do is tell you that if this explosion continued to occur over the 240 million years of the outburst - which it probably didn't, but anyway - it'd be like setting off 20 billion, billion megaton TNT explosions every thousandth of a second for the entire 240 million years. So that's incomprehensibly big. Huge."
Where exactly is the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster?
It is found along the plane of the ecliptic where Ophiuchus (the serpent bearer) and the backbone of our galaxy intersect. Virtually at the core of our galaxy. Looking at astronomy software it is where the right heel of Ophiuchus stands opposite of the *stinger* of Scorpius.
This picture reminds me of something as the right-foot of the serpent bearer is adjacent to (above) the stinger of the serpent while his left-foot stands at the supermassive red giant star Antares (meaning "like Ares" or "like Mars" -- the Greek and Roman gods of war). Antares marks the *head* of the serpent, the head of Scorpius.
I cannot help but be reminded of the word of God in (Genesis 3),
15 "I will put enmity between
you and the woman, and between
your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head, and
you shall bruise his heel."
(Genesis 3:15 ESV)
Words fail me. I cannot think of a greater impact on all of creation than the strike of the serpent at the heel of our Lord. The death of Christ on the cross. Is this that very event shown to us in the heavens? One could wonder.
Here is the white-paper on the discovery,
DISCOVERY OF A GIANT RADIO FOSSIL IN THE OPHIUCHUS GALAXY CLUSTER

DeleteThe BBC,NASA,USGS and many more.
DeleteThe Nazi officer Werner Von Braun set up the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (“NASA”) to manage teams of other Nazis who came to America along with him in 1945. NASA receives more than US $50,000,000 per day of taxpayer’s money, to fund it’s operations.
The clever and cunning people of Tavistock House combine with NASA to produce all sorts of fiction designed to confuse and mislead world population generally. They talk about “space” and I have no idea if space exists or not, nor do I have any idea how to discover that it exists or not. The fact that NASA says that space exists is a strong argument that it does not exist. After all, consider the supposed spherical Earth. It is said to have a radius of about 4000 miles and “science” books show the position and thickness of various layers inside the globe in spite of the fact that the deepest drill hole ever managed went down less than 8 miles and that is only one fifth of 1 percent of the way. So, knowing only 0.2% of the information, “science” states categorically what the other 99.8% of the material is. Mind you, as the whole thing is a fiction and these wonderful people are the authors, they can say whatever they want. So, I have to agree with William Shatner that this is Science Fiction.
Then there is the Moon which is supposed to reflect sunlight and be eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow falling on the moon. Err,r,r no, The moon does not reflect sunlight, as moonlight is a completely different type of light, nor is it eclipsed by the Earth’s shadow, as you can see some eclipses when both the Sun and the Moon are visible at the same time and that is physically impossible. The Moon has its own light.
Then there was the attempt to break through the firmament when Operation Fishbowl and Operation Dominick launched rockets straight up and caused large explosions when the rockets hit the firmament. Those were passed off as launch failures in spite of the fact that the rockets did exactly what they were supposed to do. Those launches were not covered in any detail as there being a firmament above us is highly destructive to their ridiculous fiction. Instead, they invented the Van Allen radiation belt which is supposedly so destructive and dangerous that nobody would really want to go past the firmament, now would they?
The unexpected collapse of tower 7 was accidentally pre-announced more than 20 minutes before the building actually collapsed. As the unfortunate BBC reporter Jane Standley reported that World Trade Centre “Building 7” had collapsed, the actual building could still be seen standing intact behind her.
Reporting an unexpected building collapse before it occurred, takes some explaining as to how prior knowledge of the event was in the hands of the BBC. The BBC operates a protection racket called the “TV Licence” scam, where people are threatened and coerced into paying an arbitrarily chosen amount of money to this private commercial company.
Section 15, Article 3 of the UK Terrorism Act which states that it is a crime to provide monetary support to any organisation that engages in or supports terrorist activity.
Thank you for some sanity when it comes to what science says., and sticking to what scriptures declare.
DeleteAnd yes so looking forward to Christ's coming.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God. (Psalm 19:1 ESV)
DeleteI read this as a sign. A sign of complete, total and utter Victory. A contrast of extremes. Victory of God in Christ over the devil that is Satan. Yes, it is reflective of the war in heaven but I wonder if it is more a declaration of Victory?
Illustrating it for my wife -- she immediately picked-up on (Genesis 3:15) without me saying a word.
The purpose for Christ coming to earth was to crush the head of the serpent. To defeat sin and death and bridge the gulf between God and man. It was on our behalf that He died on the cross so that we may be saved...reconciled to God that we may live forever in His presence. As a result, we all know He is coming for his Church.
Oh what power will be on display on that Day?! What wonder and what terror?! I can almost see it but I can scarcely describe it. Just as this explosion, the greatest since God spoke all creation into being? Perhaps. These researchers certainly think so and it is beyond their description.
I also wonder if there is a watermark in the dates surrounding this announcement. It was first submitted for peer review on 11/19/19. That just so happened to be 821-days after the Great American Solar Eclipse of 8/21/17. That was Cheshvan 22 on the Civil calendar or M9D22 on the Spiritual calendar. M9D22 was notable as the last day that Benny Gantz held the mandate from President Rivlin to form a government in Israel. On M9D23 PM Netanyahu was indicted on corruption charges. M9D24 began the Festival of Lights (Feast of Dedication) being Hanukkah.
Thinking back to 9/24/17 -- Gary suggested the R12S was STRONGER that day than on 9/23.
I could be seeing things or this is a watermark of God. It is not a birth pang but sure sounds like a knock upon the door.
That is how I would characterize this event.
The heavens declare the glory of God.

DeleteScience = man made gobbledigook in attempt to mud the waters and has done an effective job of confusing and deluding and dumbing the masses and continues to do so even today with cartoons and CGI and people accept it as reality.
Amazing
If I may...
DeleteThere are many Christians who God made to be scientists and engineers. Michael Faraday being one of the great classical minds. A contemporary who I have been chatting with is, Barry Setterfield. Let's not forget Chuck Missler.
Remember, God is both an artist and engineer. A doctor and a lawyer. Creation was and still is a process and is ordered in a way that can be described and understood to a certain extent.
The problem is when people don't follow the truth and where it leads them because of personal bias. As Barry says,
"It is never good science to ignore anomalous data or to eliminate a conclusion because of some presupposition. Sir Henry Dale, one-time President of the Royal Society of London, made an important comment in his retirement speech: 'Science should not tolerate any lapse of precision, or neglect any anomaly, but give Nature's answers to the world humbly and with courage.' To do so may not place one in the mainstream of modern science, but at least we will be searching for truth and moving ahead rather than maintaining the scientific status quo."
A lot of Setterfield's archaeological research is absolutely top-notch, even from a secular perspective.
DeleteI went to that web site and started reading.....its junk science built upon junk science.
DeleteA flat disc Earth covered with a transparent dome called the “firmament” in the Bible, and the Sun and the Moon are shown inside the dome. However, it is likely that there is a substantial amount of additional land outside the white cliffs of ice which are shown retaining the oceans. This notion of a spherical Earth is the first step in confusing the general population in order to make them believe in a totally false fiction.
The disc Earth allows sailing circumnavigation East/West or West/East. For that, power has to be applied continuously to the sailing vessel to make it complete the circuit. There is no possibility of a vessel circumnavigating in a North/South direction as the Earth is not a sphere. But that also applies to a satellite orbiting the Earth. The satellite would have to orbit in the same way as a ship circumnavigating the Earth and that would require the continuous provision of power in order to keep the satellite in the air and moving in a circle. That was just not practical when the first satellites were supposed to have been launched, so the notion of a satellite is a pure hoax intended as the next step in confusing people in general.
Further, there are supposed to be some 3000 active satellites in orbit at this time. It has been calculated that if there were even 1500 such notional satellites, then an observer on Earth would see about one hundred of them transit the Moon in an hour or two, even if the satellites were in the ridiculous 22,000 mile high orbit proposed for stationary satellites. There is not the slightest chance of stationary satellites as the Earth is not spinning.
As there are no satellites, it is quite clear that the International Space Station is also a hoax. That is also obvious from the suspension wires used in the videos, the clear editing of a whole series of short videos made in a zero-G plane and then patched together to make a supposed ISS video interview. Again, this is another step in trying to confuse people and get them to accept a complete fiction about their surroundings.
So why do NASA and others promote these silly notions? There are various reasons. They want an excuse to take for themselves, large amounts of money which they don’t spend on space rockets, orbiting space stations, space shuttles and the like. They also want you to believe all of their lies no matter how silly those ideas are. They want you to feel insignificant – just a tiny part of a tiny planet in an insignificant part of an amazingly large universe.

DeleteGregg,
DeleteFunny, Sky Guide does a good job of telling me when the ISS is about to fly over. I go outside and there it is as well as most any other satellite. I can also go online and view the earthbound cameras onboard the ISS and catch a glimpse in HD. For me it is personal as I AM PRIVILEGED TO HAVE BEEN THE OEM ENGINEER WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ENGINEERING AND DEVELOPMENTAL SUPPORT OF THAT CAMERA CONTROL SYSTEM.
Previous to that position I was an engineer with XM Satellite Radio.
Silly notions? Really?
Yes and oh yes!
DeleteThe ISS cannot exists the way NASA say it does (in the ionosphere) where the temperature goes well beyond the melting point of titanium and aluminum.
Also aircraft flight paths:
consider the flight from Johannesburg to Santiago which should take about 12 hours. It diverts for refuelling and goes to Senegal taking 19 hours. If the Earth were a globe that would be mad, but if the Earth is flat then it makes perfect sense.
Then consider the flight from Santiago to Sydney – it diverts to Los Angles increasing the expected flight time of 15 hours to 27 hours.
That flight path is shown not to be total madness if the Earth is flat.
Moving on, there are, of course, many other things which show that the Earth is not a globe. For example, take the Suez Canal which is 100 miles long and joins the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea.
It has no locks and no allowance for the supposed curvature of the Earth was made during its construction. It is one hundred miles of flat waterway. If the Earth were a globe, then the middle of the canal would be 1666 feet higher than either end and instead of a canal there would be a dry mountain in the way. This shows that the Earth is definitely not a globe.
Then there is the matter of a ship sailing away from the land and steering straight out into an ocean. It appears that the ship goes down over a curved ocean, disappearing gradually until only the top of the superstructure is seen. That looks convincing until you look at the ship through a telescope. When you do that, you find that you can see all of the ship again, right down to the water level. What looks like the ship moving down a curved water surface may be highly misleading and the reality is likely to be poor visibility and considerable distance making it impossible to see the details as they really are, which is the ship sailing away on a flat water surface.
Even NASA and the Military admits, they can't get through the ferment.
They have tried!

Then we have the account published in the 1931 edition of Popular Science which recounts the experiences of a scientist who rose ten miles into the air in an airtight sphere and who reported that he could see the whole Earth and that it was flat with raised edges. There is, of course, the problem that he might be lying, but it does clear up the Bible mention of the “four corners” of the Earth which is not really possible with a sphere.
DeleteWe have been told that the Earth is a sphere of some 25,000 miles circumference at the equator. It appears that the notion of a spherical Earth did not occur until the fifteenth century, and we have the problem that we do not have a single photograph of Earth taken from space.
Also the USGS map makers of the world use the flat earth model.
DeleteAnd the UN flag is a flat earth flag.
From the Google:
DeleteThe ionosphere is home to many low-Earth orbiting satellites, including the International Space Station. It also acts as a conduit for many of our communications signals, such as radio waves and the signals that make GPS systems work.

Nooooo Gregg! Please stick to studying the Bible and praying. You are obviously void of scientific and mathematical critical thinking skills. The earth isn't flat. This is lies that you believe, and it has no place here. Sorry.
DeleteFlat Earth people are so sad. Gives the rest of us something to laugh at, I guess.
DeleteA flat disc earth poses many questions.
DeleteWhy would things fall "down" on a flat earth? How would gravity work? On a flat surface there is no reason for things to fall to the ground. We know that all objects in free-fall accelerate at 98 m/s2 and that any acceleration of an object requires a force to produce it.
How would one account for the seasons and the temperature differentials through out the year? Does the sun move closer to the center of the disc in summer and closer to the edge in winter? That would mean the summer path of the sun would be shorter than the winter path. Either the inner path take less time to traverse than the outer path (summer would be shorter than winter - its not) or the sun moves much slower on the inner path and much faster on the outer path which would mean the sun moves at different speeds throughout the year (it doesn't).
How does one explain night and day if we are on a flat disc? We know that precisely half of earth is experiencing day and the other half, night at any given time. How does sunlight travel across a flat surface and then just stop at the middle of the flat disc? Even though the sun would still be within "line of sight" anywhere on a flat disc, it's completely not visible and there is a complete absence of light.
How does one explain an eclipse of the moon? What is passing between the sun and moon, casting a shadow on the moon, and yet still allowing the people on the ground a view of the lunar eclipse? What object is big enough to do that, yet not observable in the sky?
How does one explain a sunset? In a sunset the sun disappears below the horizon. On a flat disc, if the sun dips below the horizon, how does half the disc remain lighted?
God's creation is absolutely amazing and one of the things that make it so incredible is there are real, calculate-able, attributes to His creation that we can discover by observation or experimentation. Just one more thing that shows His amazing awesomeness and depth of creation.
This universe follows so many rules so precisely that one might think it was being ran by an ultra powerful computer. Doesn't make it any less real or important, because God has decided it is. He designed it, made it, and maintains it. He's also trying to save it from what can only be described as a computer virus... 'Sin,' which causes entropy and instability.
DeleteIf this is the case, we should find hints of this world state in scripture, and I think we do. How time for Him is different. How we are already sitting in the Heavenlies with Christ. Moments where the rules seem to change in a major way, but would be simple to explain if you just thought of them as settings or attributes getting changed. At least to me, someone with a lot of experience with computers and programming, this model of thinking has made so much make sense and explains things very neatly.
It makes it all so much more beautiful to me. If it's not really like that, then I'll be that much more impressed when He explains it all post-Rapture...
Also, with humor I will add the following:
Delete'The earth is only flat if you are two dimensional'
Stop looking around you and start looking up too!
(And if you need proof satellites can be seen, watch spaceweather.com, they've been complaining about those Starlink satellites showing up in stellar photography ever since they started to launch them)

I apologize for the above comment, it was in bad taste. Speaking of bad taste, as you all know God lays out in the O.T. what animals are clean and unclean, fit and unfit to eat.
ReplyDeleteAlthough since the N.T. people aren't judged by what they eat anymore its still a good guideline for a healthy diet. Nobody likes a good pork chop more than I do but if not cooked thouroughly it can be dangerous. I am however leery of certain seafoods like lobster, crabs and clams. They are the oceans bottom-feeders feeding off pollution, garbage and dead stuff.
I have not heard it confirmed conclusively but some think that the ebola virus originated from eating the meat of Chimpanzees which would clearly be classified as an unclean animal.

ReplyDeleteI was pondering how the antichrist will deceive the nations. I doubt this is a new thought, and I do not know if this has already been discussed.
ReplyDeleteWould it make sense that the antichrist would deceive the many through the fulfillment of other false doctrines found within the 3 monotheistic branches? Wouldn't that be the only way he could draw them, and others, together? The unholy trinity, a prophetic fulfillment of each of their false teachings; Islam, Judaism, and (non-Biblical) Christianity.
Something I need to share with you. I was healed while in prayer for miracle of my double broken back. During this prayer that the Holy Spirit said to do with 100% Faith I would be, I felt His heat (fire) enter my back. I felt the pain leave me when the heat left me. I was healed on the spot.
ReplyDeleteI started reading the bible a year later, the Holy Spirit started me with the book of Revelation. Where I found my favorite verse, 12: 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. What I didn't know, God was showing me ME as I would find out later, after He sent me to the book of Daniel next before going to Genesis. This was left on the side of my face the night ten years ago when I received this supernatural healing and lead me to being a watchman on the wall...They are three Hebrew letters told to me by the Holy Spirit are burn scars from the healing heat that entered me.
A month ago these were put in front of me while doing computer search for all the Old Testament names they called God in Hebrew letters. Just below this these three letters came up, but not as being God's name. They where the near perfect letters I had seen matching what was on my face...Strong's #5341 Bible Lexicons. What blew me away was the word definition...1a1 through 1a6...they all are me, and especially the last one 1a6) watchman (particle)......
God is moving on a fast tract now, I expect to see Yeshua very soon.

DeleteGood for you! Me too!
One of my questions is how is the Rapture going to be explained away?
Then it hit me, they'll just move on to the next topic, NEXT!
Unknown,
DeleteSo far as deceiving the masses, some interesting possibilities have been put forth by biblical scholars and End Time authors during the past couple of decades, regarding the nature of radical spiritual activity during that period. They suggest that “as in the time of Moses” means far more than typical wickedness, but also the return of the Nephilim or other divine, genetically mixed beings, perhaps passed off as extraterrestrials. They suggest as well, that what we know as “UFO” activity has all along been extra-dimensional as opposed to extraterrestrial, and that these beings will be capable of “signs and lying wonders”, to “deceive even the elect, if possible”.
The topic really is too vast and intriguing to do justice in this setting, but you might be interested in the writings of S. Douglas Woodward, Chuck Missler, Michael S. Heisler, and Joseph P. Farrell, among others. I think they’re generally onto something very solid. Humanity is in for some things the likes of which it’s never seen.

It would be great the Rapture occurring on Purim, but I would make some reservations to it. Because we don't even know the day nor the hour.
DeleteMoin, consider the passage in context.
DeleteHeaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. But of that day and hour [which day and hour? The day heaven and earth with pass away] no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.

DeleteGod job "can't know the day or hour of the Rapture". Yes you can! That refers to heaven and earth passing away. And Paul directs us to watch for the event of the dead rising in Jerusalem. Then 40 days later ascension day (Rapture day).
Gary~Thank you for sharing the beautiful LSV rendition of Psalm 91. These verses touched my heart--
ReplyDelete14 Because he has delighted in Me, || I also deliver him—I set him on high, || Because he has known My Name. 15 He calls Me, and I answer him, || I [am] with him in distress, || I deliver him, and honor him. 16 I satisfy him with [the] length of [his] days, || And I cause him to look on My salvation!
AND I CAUSE HIM TO LOOK ON MY SALVATION!
LOOK! I went deeper with this phrase and saw that what the LSV translates as 'LOOK' came from the Hebrew word רָאָה râʼâh, raw-aw'; a primitive root; to see, literally or figuratively (in numerous applications, direct and implied, transitive, intransitive and causative).
SALVATION! was translated from יְשׁוּעָה yᵉshûwʻâh, or yesh·ü'·ä, which is Jesus' name in Hebrew.
How appropriate for the time we are in now--Though our lives are threatened with a plague, those who trust in YHWH are promised to be lovingly watched over and TO SEE JESUS and KNOW HIM as it says in 1 Cor. 13:12--"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
DAMASCUS WILL BE A HEAP OF RUINS
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, I wonder how this prophecy will take place. NOT ANYMORE.
I thought ISRAEL will send the nukes to Damascus to make the destruction almost instant. But over the last few months and just few days ago, it kinda seems plausible that it will be TURKEY will do it. TURKEY Despise Assad so much that it will be possible that Erdogan will nuke Damascus. Considering that few days ago, Turkey lost 33 soldiers in one attack by Syria.
Moving to another topic - THE POPE. With his teaching more on social justice and climate change, his new interest is AI. I will once again link that the REV 13:16-18 is referring to the use of Artificial Intelligence + Blockchain + RFID or other tracking devices. " Wisdom " refers to " Sophia/Sofia the AI " as a figure or maybe the governing body to launch this 'System'. Also most importantly, the LIBRA COIN of Facebook will be so big that this can be the only means of payment in the future. Libra = equal, and the prophecy says EVERY One "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond " .

RyanProtech, blessings. I always thought Damascus becomes a ruinous heap because of an attack on Israel which “And in that day it shall come to pass, that the glory of Jacob shall be made thin, and the fatness of his flesh shall wax lean.” Isaiah 17:4.
DeleteThis attack might be in the Golan Heights and is so devastating that Israel nukes Damascus. I always associated “made thin” and “wax lean” to be unhealthy/ injured/dead so then they go ahead and destroy Damascus which they have been doing for years to rid the Iranian presence. Damascus looks like WW2 in 1945. It has been approaching a ruinous heap for years at Israel’s hand.
Correction: Damascus looks like Berlin in 1945.

Just wanted to give you, my Brothers and Sisters, a heads up!
As I was reading through Romans 12, 13, and 14th chapters.
ReplyDeleteChapter 13:1-7 doesn't make a bit of sense in the narrative, its like it doesn't belong.
Added by the King James translators.
Read it without the 13:1-7, then it makes sense and you can follow Paul's train of thought.
I don't see a problem there, no hint that something got added that Paul didn't write himself... But if it helps you to read it that way, then just consider it a page out of order or something? Be careful though not to remove anything. There's clear warnings not to tamper with scripture...
DeleteRemember that Christ did ask the one man how he understood scripture... It's not just about author intent, but how we translate it and understand it. This whole section you mention is full of examples of the concept.
That has to do with book of Rev.
DeleteKing James, Taxes, population control, Vatican.

Usury is forbidden to Jews and the Moslem's.
Tax is Usury
DeleteThe state claims you don't own your body, and that it does, (and that you agreed to it). So it charges you to use it. To use your body you have to pay the state...
Taxes are effectively a rental you pay for your physical freedom. If you don't pay your taxes, your right to use your body (to leave prison) will be taken away.
In order to perform almost any bodily function, usury must be paid to the state.
Usury is a criminal act that's equivalent to slavery, and that's why it was unlawful and should still be...
DeleteAnd a Jesus quote for good measure...
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. (Luke 6:35)

ReplyDeleteWe will see actual judgment for giving Israel's ground away towards Israel, towards our country for its involvement in doing this if it comes to fruition. I am a staunch supporter of Trumps nationalistic / anti globalist agenda...
I support that 100%. His support for Israel, moving its embassy to Jerusalem has been awesome. His character is not how I would act as president, but I would not be draining the swamp, but instead the swamp probably would consume me.
All the above gets divinely undercut when its efforts divides any of Israel...in my opinion. I personally believe God has put Trump in office to rally a divide out of true Christian's, as it also divides Israel and brings on the inevitable endtime events. My faith used to grow yearly as events unfolded verifying my personal bible studies. Then a few years ago my faith started growing monthly as world event started happening at an exponentially increasing rate. Verification was coming that much more often.
Now, I can honestly say a week doesnt go by that my faith doesnt increase as world events unfold. I fear not at all, but yet know my faith will be needed as we all go up the ever increasing curve of this exponential slope graph.
What a chosen group of elect we are to witness such endtime events.
I have separated the peace plan from Trump in my head... This plan was done by others, and he might not be fully pleased with it. Could just be the first offer like others have suggested. God knows the truth, and I trust Him to see through the details. I know the first time Trump and Netenyahu got together for a press conference, a one state solution was mentioned. I feel that was Trump's true plan...
DeleteHey Jeff. I just learned some things about another reason for the Gog Magog invasion. I am currently in Pastor Billy Crone’s study of Judaism.
ReplyDeleteIt may not be just the oil and gas that the invaders are after. The Dead Sea has so many valuable minerals that, with famine on the way and, in fact, already a reality for many, the minerals could be used to make fertilizer. For thousands of years, the Jordan River etc has been depositing these extremely valuable minerals, as surely God intended, into the Dead Sea. The worth of these minerals has been estimated at 4 times the worth of the United States.
Also, the bows and arrows of the invasion is a question for many of us because they aren’t modern weapons but Putin has recently spent much money buying horses specially adapted to get through mountains. He has also bought special archery from England with arrows that can be shot from 100 yards away and go through a man’s heart and keep going !
The tanks and weapons are being made with non-metallic materials that can be burned as coal and these weapons are also made of non-metallic material to thwart Israeli metal-seeking tactical atomic weapons.
So, Putin has been busy and maybe Gog Magog does happen before the Trib starts. Here’s the link that explains much better.
https://believersweb.org/view.cfm?ID=515
THE ABUNDANT WEALTH OF THE DEAD SEA
ReplyDeleteGod dug a tremendous hole in the earth many years ago to use in storing a treasure for His people which staggers the imagination. Yes, the lowest elevation on the earth's surface is the Dead Sea. The way God arranged things, the Jordan River and its tributaries have been washing minerals down into that hole which God prepared, for thousands of years, and in recent years it has been found to be the most valuable depository of strategic chemicals in the world. George T.B. Davis, that great man of God who led the Million Testaments Campaign many years with its famous "Prophecy Edition of the New Testament has written in his book, "Rebuilding Palestine," that "One is almost staggered by the computed wealth of the chemical salts in the Dead Sea. It is estimated that the potential value of the potash, bromine and other chemical salts of its water is FOUR TIMES the wealth of the United States." With the tremendous world-wide food shortage that threatens mankind, any would-be dictator would take high risks to capture a treasure like this which could furnish enough fertilizer for the whole world, and with its other chemicals provide the explosives needed to subdue all its enemies!
ReplyDeleteWhy, do you think, has the Kremlin spent billions helping the Arabs fight Israel? Just because she likes the Arabs?
No, there is little love lost between them, but Russia wants the riches of Israel and its strategic location for world domination. The Arabs outnumbered Israel fifty to one, and it seemed a simple way to get what she wanted, The Soviets would have little trouble taking it from the Arabs if those Arabs couldn't even hold their own against little Israel. But the Godless gang in the Kremlin never took into consideration that our Creator has it all written down in His Book what His plans are for Israel, and the disposal of her enemies. When Israel finally accepts her Messiah (" a nation born in a day") the nations of the earth will be beating a path to her door for those chemicals which mean life to them, God unfolded this secret through Isaiah. In the 6Oth Chapter, Isaiah is comforting suffering Israel with a glimpse of what God has in store for them. In verse 2 he tells us that "...the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee." In the next verses God shows that the nations of the earth will all gather together and come to Israel, and in the fifth verse He tells them WHY; "Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; BECAUSE THE ABUNDANCE OF THE SEA SHALL BE CONVERTED UNTO THEE, THE FORCES OF THE GENTILES SHALL COME UNTO THEE." Yes, some day all nations will need what Israel has and barter their most treasured possessions for it!
ReplyDeleteA few years ago it looked as though the Kremlin was having all its own way with making a mighty alliance out of Soviet-Arab facilities. Thousands of her scientists swarmed over as advisors, and she spent billions in arms for the Arabs and the completion of the great Aswan Dam on the Nile. But the Egyptians soon were fed up with the arrogance of the Soviet swarm within its borders and finally ordered them out! The men in the Kremlin saw the handwriting on the wall as little Israel so badly trounced her foe time and time again, and she began plotting to do the job herself. They began preparing for a tremendous invasion force to go down over the mountains of Syria to seize Israel.
For years people had laughed at the prophecy that after God destroyed that great army in the mountains that are in the northern part of Israel, that Israel would not have to buy fuel for seven years. She would be burning the weapons of her enemy. Only recently has it been known that the tanks and weapons of this army are made of non-metallic materials which burn like coal, to thwart the Israeli metal-seeking tactical atomic missiles!
Reuters News Agency has reported large Russian purchases of special archery equipment from England, so powerful and accurate that it can shoot an arrow through a man's heart at 100 yards and it will keep on going! It is no secret that Russia has bought up large numbers of horses recently, of a type best adapted for military invasion through mountains. How wonderful the way improbable Bible prophecies are coming true these days! Who would have dreamed of a literal fulfillment of Ezekiel's prophecies of bows and arrows and horses figuring into this great battle when Russia and her satellite armies are destroyed by God in a cataclysm from the sky! Study Ezekiel 38 and 39 for God's version of what will happen to the Russian armies.
Christians, this is not a pipe dream. These are carefully authenticated facts, which fit perfectly into the pattern of Bible prophecy. Let's get busy while there is yet time, with tracts and personal witness, rescuing those who still need to receive Christ as Saviour before it is too late and His prophesied judgments come. Unsaved friend, the day of grace is still here, but it may be gone tomorrow or next week. Repent of your sins and ask Christ to take over in your heart and life, and He will, for He said, "Him that cometh unto Me I will in no wise cast out." But this is today's opportunity. This same Saviour, now gracious and forgiving, is soon to be the JUDGE, Who, when the day of grace is over will sternly say, "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." Matthew 25:41.
ReplyDeleteAdapted from Book Fellowship International.
If your right and they attack Israel using wood-based weaponry on horse back then they deserve to lose and badly.
ReplyDeleteI dont see how archery equipment no matter how sophisticated could be any match for modern artillery. You can be sure that the Israeli's willnot be on horseback. It sounds kinda far-fetched but will keep an open mind on it.
I don’t need to be right. It’s what God says in His Holy Word. Have you read Ezekiel 38 and 39 ? God says “horses” “bows and arrows” . It’s your choice to believe His Word or not but that’s what it says.
ReplyDelete9 “‘Then those who live in the towns of Israel will go out and use the weapons for fuel and burn them up—the small and large shields, the bows and arrows, the war clubs and spears. For seven years they will use them for fuel. 10 They will not need to gather wood from the fields or cut it from the forests, because they will use the weapons for fuel. And they will plunder those who plundered them and loot those who looted them, declares the Sovereign Lord.” Ezekiel 39:9
The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of[a] Meshek and Tubal; prophesy against him 3 and say: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against you, Gog, chief prince of[b] Meshek and Tubal. 4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with your whole army—your horses, your horsemen fully armed, and a great horde with large and small shields, all of them brandishing their swords. 5 Persia, Cush[c] and Put will be with them, all with shields and helmets, 6 also Gomer with all its troops, and Beth Togarmah from the far north with all its troops—the many nations with you.” Ezekiel 38:1-8
God will fight this war and it will take Israel 7 months to bury the invaders.
Archangel,
DeleteThanks for that information. I always try to take the Word literally, and the armies coming on horseback has always been a "stumbling block" for me. To me if John would have seen modern weapons of war, in no way would he have described them as men on horseback. John knew exactly what a man on a horse would look like. I have always just assumed the Lord showed him men on horseback as to not confuse the reader with words that were not understandable to anyone pre-modern era.
As for Mainer's statement about wooden weapons and horseback coming against modern weapons, if Gog/Magog were to light off a few EMP's just prior to the attack it would leave Israels modern weapons pretty much useless. Handheld guns would probably still work, but tanks/aircraft etc would be abandoned. This would allow the LORD to intervene and the glory of defeat would go to Him.
Blessings,Chris O. Very welcome. Exactly. I have always wondered why horses and bows and arrows? Glory to God for revealing this knowledge to us ! And an EMP attack would render communications inoperable.
DeletePastor Crone taught about HAARP and sonic projection that can literally put thoughts in people’s heads. HAARP, of course, is a weather weapon that can create earthquakes and hurricanes. Our bodies operate on a certain frequency and that’s why 5G is so dangerous. I highly recommend Pastor Crones’s app called Billy Crone. His teachings on world religions and occult has been just astounding to me. The info above was mentioned in his 4th video in the Judaism teaching.
Just hearing the health ministry guy in Iran has died of CV. War may break out today and Rapture on Purim, Highly recommend YTC God’s Roadmap to the End. Purim is exactly 40 days from the announcement of the peace deal (Israeli time). 40 means judgment or escape from judgment.
God bless you and Maranatha!
And I have always thought Israel would use EMPs over Iran and then bomb at will. They have a great relationship with Azerbaijan and can use their military bases to refuel.
DeleteAnd my point is that it might be the Dead Sea minerals that Gog and gang are after. And Putin is purchasing everything God says will be used. It’s called “prophecy.”
ReplyDeleteAmazing. The blindness to what’s right in front of them.
ReplyDeleteI generally agree with the article written awhile ago on this subject. This war will be fought after the millenium kingdom with crude weapons and men on horses just like it says because thats all that will be available.
ReplyDeleteNow at this time? No, im not buying it.
My only question there is why does God make people scrape and scrounge for firewood for 7 yrs. before the New heaven and Earth. That I dont get.
There is a time gap between when Satan is released from prison and the new age begins. All we know is that its at least 7 yrs.
Gary, I just now watched the above video by Todd of IT IS FINISHED. Todd mentioned having a candle dream or vision. It reminded me of an article I did about a year ago connecting Kim Moseley's dream with my Candle Dream. It also makes connections with Purim and Passover and The Tribulation:
ReplyDelete"This made me think of how in Paul Dawson’s February 5 video...it very much caught my attention when he shared that the fast of Esther was during Passover thus giving us a picture of Purim and Passover together!"
https://lynmelvin.blogspot.com/2019/02/the-candle-and-moon.html
Then I shared this in my latest article, https://lynmelvin.blogspot.com/2020/02/get-ready-for-wild-ride.html :
"I speculate that Isaiah 17:1 may occur on Purim this year--March 9 and 10. But as I shared in the above quoted article, the fall of Damascus will be linked to the fall of America."
Like dominoes, perhaps the fall of Damascus and America will lead to the Rapture occurring no later than this Passover! Oh! That it would be so! The Spirit and the Bride say COME!
What a statement it would be to Israel, on Passover, to gather the Gentile Church to safety behind the blood of the lamb, while Israel endures the plagues of Tribulation. If that isn't a wake up call, I don't know what would be!
DeleteEven so, I wait in anticipation of God's perfect plan.
Maranatha!
there is no pre or mid Rapture.We will see all these events we must endure until the end and be tested and be loyal to yahusha under the threat of death.Nobody will ever go to heaven the Kingdom is here on Earth.Until the Last Day that is when The resurrection will happen and the Harvest takes place.The ones who are taken are the tares and the Left behind is the ones who will be saved into Yah's barn.
ReplyDeleteWow......are you in for a surprise.
DeleteYou can stay, I'll be in the Throne room with the rest of the Elders.

ReplyDeletePut simply "The dead rising reference" has to do with Matthew 27:50-52
ReplyDeleteColossians 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Them which sleep in Jesus, God brings with Him
Absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord.
First Fruits is resurrection day and 40 days later is Ascension Day (Rapture Day).
At some date in the future that day will happen is what Paul said to Watch for!!
