Signs

One of the biggest clues to this writer that all was not right with the world was the large wave of animal deaths we saw a year or so ago. They came one after another after another, then after awhile they stopped. Now they appear to be on the rise again:

http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20111022/dead-birds-wasaga-beach-111022/

The wave of animal deaths was taking out some of everything, birds, fish, mammals you name it. Combine the animal deaths with what is going on with the economy, with the ongoing nuclear pollution of the world at fukushima, volcanoes, earthquakes, weird weather worldwide, satellites falling from space one after another, the US cancelling the space program, and last but certainly not least the world's spiritual condition, you have enough evidence to say with some objectivity "all is not business as usual with the world today". Disaster is coming on a scale unimaginable.

The book of Revelation tells us clearly what this disaster is going to look like. When world events start to mirror what we know the tribulation/time of Jacob's trouble is going to look like we should certainly up our watchfulness and preparedness to meet our Lord Jesus Christ.

What is going to happen we already know. When these things are going to happen is the real question. This writer expected the Lord to arrive years ago and the tribulation to start, yet the world has continued in its "days before the flood" state.

Luke 1726“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

28“It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. 29But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.

There is a day coming when we will be like Noah and Lot. We will "enter the ark" and "leave Sodom" and on that very same day, the flood will come and destroy those who remain on the face of the earth. The Restrainer will be removed and all hell will break loose. We were told that there is an escape coming and we should pray that we are counted worthy of it (Luke 21:36). We were told that the coming of the Son of man will be exactly like it was in the days of Noah and Lot. Not kind of like the days of Noah and Lot, exactly like the days of Noah and Lot. Our Lord does not use words haphazardly. Each and every Word of the Lord was used purposefully and with infinite intelligence so we should not take them lightly.

This world is in a death spiral, which is a natural result of its sin. Sin results in what? Death. Simple right? As we watch this world edge closer and closer to the day the tribulation starts, we should be watching and ready. We should also be very patient. I already told you things have gone on much longer than I suspected they would. Whats the lesson there? Its the lesson of Rev 3:10 and Matt 25. Those who keep the "Word of the Lord's patience" will be kept from the hour of trial. The parable of the virgins in Matt 25 tells us that the virgins prepared to wait (they brought extra oil in their lamps just in case it took awhile) were allowed into the wedding.

What is the Lord saying to us today? Be watching and ready and patient. Be ready to leave immediately and be ready to stay indefinitely. A very tough job which is why many wont make it (I pray that I am wrong-but read Matt 7:13-28).

Something to be aware of that the Lord has reminded me of in recent days. Whatever it is you are doing for the Lord, that is, employing your talent etc as a good slave/servant, it does not take the place of personal time with Him. Our "alone time" with the Lord where its one on one with Him is first. You can be "doing" all kinds of great things for the Lord but if you are not maintaining the relationship with time spent alone with Him, you (and I) are falling way short of the mark set for us.

What is this life on earth about? Why are we here? Relationship with God Almighty. This life is about preparing to spend eternity with the Lord our God. If we are not developing the relationship, why not?

Be patient, be watching and be ready. Probability tells us that days like today will go on indefinitely into the future. Probability tells us that "pre-flood" days will go on forever. The Word tells us that probability will be confounded some day in the future and most people will not be ready for it. Lets not be part of that many. When the Lord arrives, let us be able to say "Welcome Master, we've been expecting you!"

Keep the faith, grace and peace

Watch and Be Ready

"Northern lights" have been spotted across the entire southern and central U.S. over the past week. Photos of these lights are all over the internet. When I read what the "experts" have to say about where these lights are being seen, the words used are "baffled" "mystified" "puzzled," in other words the 'experts' are clueless, or deliberately not reporting the reason behind northern lights appearing all over the south/central U.S.

Do we really need experts to tell us that something is not right here? It is obvious that everything is not business as usual. And where are we seeing these lights in strange places? "Up" in the sky, the heavens. Something is causing this strange anomaly. Do we need to know "what" is causing this? No, its enough to know for certain that its happening. We know for a fact that what is happening in the skies above our heads is not normal.

Does it matter that Nibiru or Planet X or asteroid this or comet that is causing strange things to happen? No, what matters is that every Word written in the bible is coming to pass just as it was written. The Word of God is a rock, every Word in it is true.

We must be watching and ready for our Lord to appear. He may show up tonight, or 30 years from now. Either way we need to be watching and ready. There is no doctrine that can confound this. Readiness 24/7 cannot be "one upped" by anybody. Those who teach and preach a delayed or "sometime later" arrival of our Lord will likely be caught unprepared just like the foolish virgins of Matt 25.

The Lord gave me a slightly disturbing thought a few days ago. Basically He said that the church has no problem ridiculing Israel for missing the Lord's first appearance on this earth. "How could they not see" they ask incredulously. These same people who cannot fathom why Israel missed the Lord's appearance on earth will themselves not recognize the Lord when He calls those found worthy up into the clouds in the rapture. Most of Israel did not recognize the Lord when He first showed up. Most of the church will miss the Lord when He next shows up. Who is this apostate church to mock anyone? Why that amazed look on their faces?

The Lord asks us today:

Luke 18:6And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

If He does not find faith on earth, what will be the consequences? The world has been put to sleep by the enemy, and a gospel of grace (once saved always saved) that has become a license to sin. It has been put to sleep by a doctrine of devils telling you not to watch or be ready for the Lords return today. "Don't be foolish" they say, "theres plenty of time" they say. "This has to happen" or "that has to happen first before the Lord can arrive" they say.

Read the Words of the Master carefully brothers. Our Lord did NOT put qualifiers in His command to watch and be ready. If He said to do it, He meant now. Not tomorrow, not the next day, not next year, NOW.

This writer has no remote idea when the Lord will arrive for us. None, not even an inkling. This writer does however have a fire burning inside that says WATCH and BE READY. Take it for what its worth.

'Many Dead' As 7.2 Quake Shakes Turkey

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/45005013/ns/world_news-europe/#.TqQhzt7qP1Q

They are reporting this earthquake but they didnt even bother to report on the 7.4 magnitude earthquake in the Pacific earlier this week

http://earthquake-report.com/2011/10/21/second-massive-kermadec-islands-earthquake-in-4-months-time/

Guys, a 7+ earthquake is a monster. Do you remember what the 7+ did to Haiti a couple years ago? These 7.0+ earthquakes are now popping off routinely.

So what brother D, what does that have to do with Christianity? It has to do with the time of the end. If you read the book of Revelation you will see massive earthquakes the likes of which this world has never seen. The Lord, as always, appears to be using the creation to judge the creation. The increase in the number of very large quakes, that is, 7.0 or greater shows us a progression toward to precise fulfillment of the Words written by our Lord.

We know whats going to happen. The Lord has told us everything in advance. We can expect an exact to the letter fulfillment of every Word written in the Bible. If we know whats coming in the future, and we know where we are now, we can draw a line from here to there and know generally what to expect. For this reason, when this writer sees warnings from the powers that be that an extinction level event is coming (or many), this writer pays attention. Why? Certainly not because this world has said something, but because the words coming out of their mouth match what we know for a fact is going to happen, that is, extinction level events are on the way.

Ok, again so what? So what if extinction level events are coming? If the tribulation is about to start, then our redemption draws nigh and we should be looking up, watching and ready for our Savior the Lord Jesus Christ to appear.

Something is causing all these earth shaking events. Do we have to correctly identify exactly what is causing them? Its Nibiru, no its ELEnin, no its the expanding earth theory, no its something else....does it really matter what is causing it? Not really. What matters is, its happening and thats undeniable fact. Events are progressing exactly as the Bible said they would, and that matters.

We as servants of the Lord should observe what is happening in the world with all gravity. We were told to be watching and ready today and each and every day thereafter for the return of the Lord. We were told to be doing those things that wise servants would do. Let us be found like the wise servants, with oil in our jars and prepared to wait for our Lord but also prepared to leave this earth immediately.

These large earthquakes and volcanoes that are erupting are telltale signs of something like Nibiru exerting its influence on the earth. Large earthquakes and volcanoes change lives permanently, just ask the people of Japan. I believe the Lord spoke a few words to me yesterday, and one of the ideas from those words was that as time progresses now we must walk closer and closer to Him in moment to moment dependence on Him for guidance and survival.

Read your bibles. Read about men like Moses who "walked with God." We should be like them. We should be walking with our Lord God in faith and dependence every moment of every day now. We know whats coming but we dont know when it will happen. This world is playing timing games to pull everyone off track. They say that since people cant nail down the day things are going to happen, then nothing is going to happen? How foolish. But thats their game and it is working on many people.

Famine, war, earthquakes and plague are coming to this earth. If you look around you will see that they are already here! Apparently what we see today are just shadows of whats coming. The Bible is very clear, the events that are coming will melt mens hearts right in their chests from fear. I dont think this world has even a remote idea of whats coming or their attitudes and actions would be radically different.

What do I believe the Lord spoke to me yesterday? We require moment to moment walk and communication and dependence on Him today. That and be patient. The things the Lord has done in this writers life over the past 3 year lead him to believe on one hand we dont have long to wait and on the other hand we still have to wait patiently. It seems almost contradictory and in a sense it is but thats what we have been called to, ready to stay and ready to go.

Be patient. Probability tells us nothing out of the ordinary will happen today or tomorrow or on Dec 21, 2012 or on any other day, but ask the people of Turkey today about what can happen when possibility strikes and you didnt expect it. The United States has not yet been on the receiving end of any of these 7.0+ quakes lately. This writer believes the reason why is something special (not in a good way) is being prepared for her.

This writer believes he has not seen or heard a true prophet of God in his entire lifetime and the reason for that is, he believes what is going to happen has already been foretold in the Bible. Does the Lord really need to tell us again what He has already told us in His Word? The only thing we dont know today is the timing of it all. When we see storm clouds above its reasonable to expect rain. We must be watching and ready for the Lords return today. We must also patiently wait for however long the Lord plans to tarry in the future. This is the difficult task we have been given and it does require suffering on our part. No surprises right? In this life we will have tribulation, but not THE tribulation.....

Keep the faith, be patient. Remember the Lord at all times in everything you do. Trust Him, praise Him all the time. Let His praise be in your mouth continually as you await your redemption from heaven. These are the thoughts this writer is impressed with today. grace and peace

Where There is Smoke, There is Fire

Luke 21:25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. 28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh

In the past many people have predicted things would happen that never came to pass. Most of the time, like with Campings second failed prophesy, people let them go with a laugh of scorn, but they let it go. I find the reaction to ELE-nin passing to be interesting in this regard. "They" refuse to let it go. The mockers and scorners etc are beating the ELE-nin thing to death. "But nothing happened" they say. How about stop being so short sighted I say.

We know for a fact whats coming to this earth some day in the future. Read the book of Revelation and the Words of the prophets. Signs in the sun moon and stars and mens hearts failing them for fear. These things ARE coming, they are biblical fact, written in stone. What the Lord God has said, will absolutely positively certainly come to pass.

With regards to ELE-nin, I say to whoever came up with it THANKS FOR THE WARNING. "They" sent a warning at least in part to get people off track and off the case of what is really coming. What is coming will appear in the skies, in outer space. Read the Word of God for yourself, it is very clear. Read Revelation 6 for yourself. An extinction level event IS coming. The opening seals of Revelation 6 will erase 2 billion souls from the face of this earth. Again, thats not speculation, its biblical fact.

The ELE-nin phenomenon was likely meant to put people back to sleep. "See, nothing happened" they say. Nothing has happened yet....keep watching, be ready. Not for ELE-nin or Nibiru or whatever, but for the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ.

And again, thanks for the warning whoever came up with the name ELE-nin. I take the Word of God seriously, and the Word says that this world will face the extinction of billions of souls at some point in the future. We should be watching and ready for the Lord to return and when whoever they are publish warnings, it only motivates some of us to continue watching and readiness for the pre-tribulation rapture of the church, which means the arrival of Jesus Christ our Lord in the skies.

A warning to some of us is a blessing. "They" know whats coming which is why they are digging holes in the earth to hide themselves. They will try to hide themselves in "that day" but it will be useless. Who can hide from an all seeing all powerful God?

Continue to watch for the arrival of our Lord. Be ready for His return. As always, in patience be ready to spend another 20 years on this earth waiting for the Lord to return. Ready to stay, ready to go....thats us.

Watch Ye Therefore

Mark 13:33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

If I could distill down in the fewest words possible what it is my spirit is impressed with from the Lord, it would be the passage above. Watch and pray. We are servants who have been given work while the Master is away. We were told that we would not know when the Master would return so we must watch for Him. While we are watching we are to be doing those things that good and faithful servants know they should do.

Watch watch watch. This world is trending toward destruction in every way. Can't you see it? Many cannot see it. Everything is failing, and its all happening at the same time. So what? The so what is, Jesus our Master is coming back soon. What does soon mean? I have no idea. This world is trending toward the kind of destruction written about by the prophets and throughout the book of Revelation. What does that mean? The Lord is coming back soon.

This writer has pointed out to you that things appearing to be on their way (like massive earth upheaval caused by other bodies in outer space) could cause the kind of destruction we read about in the book of Revelation. So what? So, if that kind of destruction is on the way, and it doesnt matter what the cause is (elenin nibiru 2012 whatever), then our Lord Jesus is right at the door. Thats the point, the Lord is near and we should be watching for Him, not that one thing or another is the cause of this worlds destruction. We mention the latter to keep you focused on the former, understand?

Things are not 'business as usual' in this world anymore for the aware observer. Things have not been 'normal' for a long time now. Because the changes have come so gradually, in such slow motion, most people continue living in fantasy land. It doesnt matter what is causing all this slide toward destruction, what matters is, its happening. So ELE-nin did nothing, so Nibiru does nothing, so Y2K is a dud, so 2012 is a year like all the rest, so what? We are watching for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ, thats what and that will continue to be the what until He arrives.

If Noah saw the storm clouds moving in before the Lord told him to get into the ark, he probably would have stayed close to the ark, wouldn't you? I would. The Lord has told us everything beforehand. We KNOW whats coming and whats coming isnt pretty. When we see it coming from miles away, should we not stand close to our ark (the Lord Jesus)? You would have to be mentally impaired not to stay close to the ark of safety with the storm clouds moving overhead.

The warnings you have read here over the years are not about economic collapse or ELE-nin or Nibiru or whatever, they are about watching and being ready for the return of the Lord. We were told to be watching and ready, are you doing that? It matters not which strategy you choose to use in order to keep yourself focused on the return of the Lord. What matters is you are found watching and ready when the Lord returns.

This world is full of mockers. They mock our watching and readiness as if we were fools. How many so called christians are telling people today not to watch for the Lords return because according to them "it cant happen yet?" Those people are fools (The Lords Words not mine-Matt 25). Not only are they fools, many of them are enemies. Anyone who tells me to disobey a direct order from the Lord I must consider an enemy to my soul. If the Lord told us to watch and be ready without any qualifiers, that means DO IT NOW. Not tomorrow, not during a sabbatical year, not at mid-trib, not at the end of the tribulation, DO IT NOW.

We have told to be watching and ready now, and each and every day in the future until the Lord arrives for us. That is biblical fact. We have been told to be patient like the wise virgins who brought oil along with their lamps. We have been told not to be surprised that we suffer like soldiers. It will be well for those servants who are found doing what they were told to do when the Lord arrives.

This world is moving like a freight train down the tracks of time toward the time of Jacob's trouble, also known as the tribulation. The Lord has clearly stated that there will be an escape from all thats about to happen and we should pray for it (Luke 21:36). Noah escaped all. Lot escaped all. Some of us will escape all if we are found worthy.

How much longer this world can circle the drain before going down, I know not. It is well within the Lords power to keep this world afloat for years to come if He so desires. This requires patience. The Lord could also pull the plug on this world immediately setting into motion the most horrific days this world has ever and will ever see. This requires readiness, NOW.

We must be ready to stay here on this earth, patiently suffering for however long it takes for our Lord to arrive. We must also be ready to leave immediately without a backward glance at this sick and sinful world. What is the Lord saying to the churches today? Watch and be ready. Do those things wise servants would do in their Lord's absence.

Watching and Ready

In September 2011 we had a number of warnings centered around the Feast of Trumpets. For example, remember the events around the constellation virgo that took place exactly on 9/29? It was Revelation 12 playing itself out in the heavens. We also had comet ELE-nin moving through the solar system. Neither one of these events proved to be anything destructive in and of themselves. Does that mean we write everything off to business as usual and carry on as if the end of the world were not upon us?

What we have seen this past month and for years now really are a series of warnings. Open your bible and read for yourselves how many warnings Jesus Himself gave us. How much of the bible is dedicated to warning the people of the Lord? Alot. We have been warned to be watching and ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Signs are everywhere that the day of the flood will be upon this world soon.

Go re-read Matt 24 and Luke 17 and what you will see is the Lord warning us. We are told:

37But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

What's the warning we are given here? The warning is that in the days of "business as usual" that were before the flood things were happening just as they are today. Then what happened? Noah entered into the ark. Then what happened? The flood came and took them all away. So, at least one of the lessons in this warning is, dont get too complacent in these business as usual days. Don't be one of those who "knew not" until the flood came. Be watching and be ready for the Lord's return.

We as servants of the Lord do not have to guess what is coming. We don't have to wonder whether days will continue in a business as usual fashion. We dont have to wonder whether doom on an unimaginable scale is coming upon this world. The book of Revelation makes it clear. The words of the prophets make it clear. The sins of this world are stacked up into the heavens, and there is no repentance. Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. The Lord and His Word have been declaring this from the day that He first set foot on this earth.

Doom on a scale that no writer can even imagine is coming to this world. Days that are so dark that mens hearts will fail them are coming to this world.

So what you ask? So those of us who know with certainty whats going to happen, should warn those who "know not." A warning is a blessing, not a burden. We are attempting to pluck souls from the fire that awaits them if they do not repent and return to their faithful Creator.

We are not out of the woods yet this year. Earthquakes and volcanoes are popping all over the earth. The USGS has been caught red handed numerous times deleting data so as not to alarm the public. I saw one writer attempt to downplay our days by saying "the data doesnt really reflect an increase in earthquakes" so its all just a false alarm. Really? Dude, wake up and get a clue..please. Check your sources before you attempt to put people back to sleep. My guess is these so called "christian" writers are disinformation agents. Who cares who they work for, their message is a lie.

When disinformation is everywhere, we must be spiritually sensitive. What does the bible say? What is the Lord impressing on my spirit? What direction does the Lord have me looking these days? These are the questions we should all be asking ourselves.

We were told to be watching and ready for the Lord's return. The Lord did not give us permission to stop watching whenever we want. We can stop watching for the Lords return when we are standing face to face with Him.

The Lord uses the creation to judge the creation. He has used locusts, famine, flood, disease, etc to judge the creation in the past. Which parts of the creation will the Lord use in the future. I am not sure, but based on what we know is going to happen the arrival of something like Nibiru/planet X appears to be a good guess. Why even talk about this? because the arrival of something like Nibiru also means the arrival of the Lord in the clouds for us. We have proven that the rapture of the church will be pre-tribulation. When we see tribulation like events right on our doorstep, shouldnt we be even more watchful and ready for the Lords return?

The powers that be on this world are very very interested in whats going on out in space. Why is that? Signs in the sun, the moons, the stars. Even the devil believes the bible is true, and he trembles. If the bible says something is going to happen, the devil and his minions know for sure its going to happen, and they unlike most of the world are preparing for it...

It is this writers opinion that something like Nibiru/planet x/whatever is on its way in to close proximity with the earth. Thats why google sky and others have cropped out large portions of space for us not to see whats out there. The arrival of this thing will also mean large scale destructive events for the earth, tribulation like events. That means the pre-tribulation rapture of the church is not far away.

Now to caveat. We must prepare our minds to be on this earth another 20-30 years or more. Of dates and times brother, we need not write you...remember? Is it possible that the Lord will tarry for years more? Yes, it is possible. Revelation 3 tells us to keep the Word of His patience. We must be patient. We are told to accept suffering like good soldiers of Jesus Christ. The suffering we endure while we are on this earth is not an unusual thing, it is normal for us and we must bear its burden with grace. The foolish virgins of Matt 25 were not prepared to wait, and they paid for it. We have been called to be wise virgins who bring extra oil for their lamps because they are prepared to wait. We are ready to stay for however long we are called to be here.

We also must be ready to meet the Lord in the clouds in the twinkling of an eye any moment now. We must be ready to go. We must have our affairs in order today to leave this place without a single look back. Our hearts and minds and spirits must be detached from this world today. Where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also. We must be ready to go.

This is the difficult calling we have been given by the Lord. We are always ready to stay and do His bidding on this earth, and we are always ready to leave this world at a moments notice. Is this easy? Not by a longshot. If it were easy, many many more would enter the kingdom of heaven but we know that most wont make it:

Matt 7:13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Only a few will make it through the small gate and narrow path that leads to life. The Lord didnt write this to demoralize us. He wrote these things to us to give us a clear picture. Again, the Lord never told us this would be easy:

Luke 14:27And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. 28For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? 29Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, 30Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

Conclusion

Be ready to stay. Be patient for however long it takes for the Lord to arrive. Be ready to go. Have your hearts prepared to leave everything behind at a moments notice. Be watching and ready through prayer and the Word of God.

On a personal note, the Lord has been answering prayers and even the intentions and desires of my heart even without me asking Him for things lately. He has been incredibly over the top good to this servant recently. That said, I've been asking Him about whats going to happen in the future and I'm not getting anything even remotely dramatic from Him. I am not receiving/hearing/being impressed with any specifics about anything. What I believe the Lord is saying to us today is what I have written to you in this post today. Matthew 24 and 25 stand out as the Lord's Word to us today.

The parable of the virgins and the faithful servant of Matt 25 stand out today. I would tell you as a brother, that we should be on high alert for the remainder of this year and into 2012. The Lord has not given me specifics but I cant shake the thought that we dont have much time left here. My thoughts could be wrong, I guess we'll see. My thoughts could be wrong but the one way you cannot go wrong is to always always always every moment every day be ready for the Lord to return. That is a guaranteed formula for success prescribed for us by the Lord Himself.

P.s. What kind of warning is ELE-nin? Extinction-Level-Event, Nibiru-in-November? I don't know, just be ready okay?

Keep the faith, grace and peace

10/16 Reminder

ELE-nin reaches perigee this Sunday-Monday (Oct 16-17). The reminder for you is, the Japan earthquake on 3/11/2011 occurred while another comet 2000 PN9 was at earth perigee. Volcanoes are starting to pop left and right which is a primary indicator of stress on the earth's core. El Hierro in the Canary islands is very active and another volcano in Iceland now looks like its going active.

Stress on the earth means we could see earthquakes in addition to volcanic eruptions. So what you ask? We must be ready to meet the Lord today. What happens when major earthquakes and volcanoes go off? Some people don't see the face of the earth the day after. We must be ready to stay here on earth patiently waiting for our Lord and we must be ready to leave tonight to meet Him in the sky. Nobody guaranteed any of us that we will see tomorrow on this earth. Right? So we need to be ready.

What is the Lord saying to us today? I know what He has impressed upon me. Keep the faith. Return to the fundamentals of the faith. Love, be thankful, pray, stay in the Word. Do those things that a wise servant would do when they expect their Lord to appear any minute.

We may have a long time to live like this. Torn between the apparent imminent return of the Lord and the agonizing delay that results in mercy and grace towards those being brought into the kingdom at the last moment. We must keep the Word of His patience (Rev 3:10).

It is likely that nothing out of the ordinary will happen on or around 10/16, at least thats what probability tells us. The warnings all around us tell us that although probability is against it, we better be prepared for the possibility of world changing events any moment now.

Keep the faith. Remain patient, but be ready and watching for the Lord's return. Not because this writer is hitting keys on a keyboard, but because the Word of God is overflowing with warnings to mankind in these last wicked days.....The Lord God Almighty IS coming back; for His true church in love and mercy, and for this wicked world in vengeance and fury.

ELE-nin 10/16

On 10/16 Elenin reaches perigee with the earth. Remember that when comet 2000 PN9 was at perigee we had the Japan earthquake and tsunami.

I wanted to post a note here about watching and readiness. We were told to be watching and ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. When you see posts about Ele-nin or Nibiru or financial collapse or whatever its going to be in the future, the reason the post was and will be made is because of the return of Jesus Christ for us.

It has been proven time and again that the rapture of the Church will be pre-tribulation. When we see tribulation like events coming at us should we not get excited about the possibility of getting off this wicked world? Yes, we should get excited. The world may get depressed and fearful but we should get excited if we really believe.

We were told that when the Lord comes back for us we better be watching and ready. Whatever it is that you need to do to keep yourself watching and ready for the Lords return, I would suggest you do it. Here, we attempt to be sensitive to the Lord's voice and prompting, and bring to your attention everything and anything that can be used to motivate (in truth) to keep watching and remain ready.

The Lord, I believe, gave me an example of what Satan likes to do to us from my football coaching experience. On the defensive line theres a technique that can be used that is a push pull to yank offensive linemen off balance and get the defense into the backfield. You push the guy and as soon as he pushes back you yank hard and pull him off balance. Thats what Satan is doing to many people in the world today, he is pushing and pulling them off balance.

For example, many people had an eye on ELE-nin thinking it may be part of a scheme where we end up going home with the Lord. So far that hasnt happened, but how many people stopped watching and ceased their readiness preparations this past month or two because business as usual has persisted? This same thing happens over and over again and the bible makes it very clear we must have the patience to wait for however long it takes for the Lord to come back for us and we need to be ready to meet Him right now. We must be ready to go and ready to stay.

Probability tells us that on any given day we will have business as usual because thats what we have on most days. People who are not ready for the possibility of extraordinary events that are certainly coming our way will be caught at a loss. Remember, as it was in the days of Noah and Lot. They knew not that destruction was coming until Noah entered the ark and the flood swept them all away. If we do not patiently continue to watch and be ready, we could end up like those swept away in the flood.

The Lord's warning is very clear:

Mark 13:32“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33Be on guard! Be alert^f! You do not know when that time will come. 34It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

35“Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”

Matt 24:45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Clearly we do not want to be cut asunder and be appointed a portion with the hypocrites. We MUST continue to watch and be ready. We are not out of the woods yet, but many like to tell us it will be business as usual forever. Every time business as usual continues after a time of heightened awareness on our part, the scoffers come out of the woodwork. The scoffers will soon only scoff at their own shame when the flood that is coming sweeps them away to eternal destruction.

Take a look around at the world today, does it look stable to you? Does it feel stable to you? This place is spinning out of control. Something is adversely affecting the earth in a big way. Sorry Im not a scientist but I do have the sense that our God gave mankind and the Holy Spirit within me. I know when things are light years away from "right." The only thing keeping the world from spinning out of control is the Lords timeline and His mercy.

The Lord is in control and things will proceed when He is ready for them to proceed. This requires faith and patience from us His servants. We must be watching and ready. We must be ready to stay here on this earth as suffering servants for years if need be and we must be ready to be called up into the clouds tonight.

Do not let Satan "push pull" you off balance. This writer has not predicted anything over the years this blog has been up. We have no need for predictions because the bible tells us clearly exactly what is coming...We are watching for what the bible says will happen, thats all. If the Lords Word says something is going to happen, it is 100% guaranteed to happen.

I pray that we are all found worthy to escape all that is about to happen and stand before the Son of Man in accordance with the command given to us in Luke 21:36.

Some of this has been impressed on this writer by the Lord, other parts (I think) are from my own thoughts.

Proof 26 For the Pre-tribulation Rapture of the Church

Can you imagine being in a college class, studying for a test, then taking the test and earning a perfect score on it, then the teacher tells you "congratulations on passing the test, now I'm going to re-test you!" What would you say? "Uh, hey I just passed the test." What is a test? A procedure intended to establish the quality, performance, or reliability of something.

So, if you pass a test, it seems slightly ridiculous to be tested on the same thing again right? You pass the test, you move on. We all understand this, yet there are people today who call themselves "christians" who tell you that even though you pass the test laid out before you today, you must be tested again in the tribulation/time of Jacob's trouble. We've already established what a bunch of nonsense pre-wrath/post-trib rapture doctrine is in previous posts but lets destroy their doctrine even further here.

What is the biblical proof that the "testing twice" nonsense that post-tribulation rapture and pre-wrath rapture advocates teach is a doctrine of demons lie from the pit of hell?

The proof that we are tested in this life without "the" tribulation/time of Jacob's trouble:

2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in ...

Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?

2 Corinthians 13:6 And I trust that you will discover that we have ...

And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test. ... I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test.

James 1:3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops ...

because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance

Deuteronomy 13:3 you must not listen to the words of that prophet ...

... prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul

Luke 8:13 Those on the rock are the ones who receive the word with ...

... They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.

There is more proof, but let this suffice for now. We certainly are tested in this life. In this life we do have tribulation, testing and trial without "the" tribulation.....

John 16:33 "I have told you these things, so that in me you may ...

... I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome

That tribulation ^^^ is the tribulation that generation after generation after generation of our forefathers in the faith have endured and been victorious over if they died "in Christ." These generations of victorious believers are a witness and a proof that 1. they absolutely were tested in this world, 2. were delivered from the "tribulation" that they faced in life up through and including the day they died and 3. they never did, not one of them ever enter into "the" tribulation that is also known as the time of Jacob's trouble.

Generations of true believers have prayed the Lord's prayer, and that prayer has been answered for every single one of them that has died in the faith. Specifically they prayed "And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'"

That is from the Lord's prayer. What it says specifically in the Greek is lead us not into the

πειρασμόν

peirasmon

That is, lead us not into the trial, the temptation, the experiment.....see for yourself here:

http://biblelexicon.org/matthew/6-13.htm

The teachers of the doctrine of demons (pre-wrath, post-trib) tell you that being led into the trial/temptation/experiment is a good thing! They tell you its something we "need." Yet the Lord's prayer itself, which is the only prayer that Jesus taught us himself tells you to pray that we will NOT be led into peirasmon, not be led into trial/temptation/the experiment. The Lord tells us specifically in Rev 3:10 that those who keep the Word of His patience will be kept from the peirasmou-from the same word peirazó

http://biblelexicon.org/revelation/3-10.htm

The idea that students in a classroom today would be tested again after successfully passing a test is ridiculous. It defies all logic and all spiritual sense. The only way being tested after passing the test makes sense is in the minds of demons and their servants.

If we are in the last days, then most of the true church has already died "in Christ" and we who are alive and remain today are a small fraction of overall body. That large majority of believers who died in Christ up through this very day NEVER DID ENTER "the" tribulation and neither will we. If you pray the Lord's prayer every day then every day you are praying to NOT be led into the trial/tempation/experiment that is going to come on this world to TEST them.

Rev 3:10 specifically tells us that we who remain and are patient will be kept from this trial. Luke 21:36 orders us to pray that we will escape ALL of whats about to happen just as all those who died in Christ up through today already have done. Every believer who has died in Christ up through this day have "escaped all" that is about to happen, and so will we if we are found worthy.

The proof is overwhelming. Double testing is a ridiculous lie from the pit of hell and the minds of demons. It also happens to be the doctrine of the pre-wrath/post-tribulation rapture teachers. That doctrine of demons has been thoroughly debunked and disproved in detail here in the other 20+ posts along the right side of this blog, and by other brothers scattered throughout the world. The Lord himself taught us to pray to be kept from trial in the Lords prayer. Rev 3:10 clearly states that the patient believers will be kept from the trial. Luke 21:36 clearly orders us to pray the same thing, that we may escape whats coming and whats coming is a trial and a test for those who have not passed it yet.

All the believers in Christ who have died in Christ passed the testing and trial and tribulations of their days. Those same testings and trials and tribulations are the ones we face today during these days of eating and drinking and planting and building and marrying and giving in marriage. These trials and testings and tribulations of ours will continue right up until the day that we enter our "ark" and then the flood will come just as it did in Noah's day. That flood will be "the" tribulation and it will test the hearts of men who were not ready in the days before the flood. Read Genesis 6, Matt 24, Mark 13 and Luke 17 for the details.

Matt 6:9After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11Give us this day our daily bread.

12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13And lead us not into peirasmon ( an experiment, a trial, a temptation)

, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen

The Lord taught us how to pray, He even gave us the exact words to use when we pray yet many are the teachers out there who are trying to change the Words from our Lord's mouth. Pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all of whats about to happen. Pray that you may be kept from the trial and temptation that is coming upon the entire world to test them. Keep the Word of the Lord's patience. Keep the faith.

Todays proof for the pre-tribulation rapture of the church is that the vast majority of the church who has already died in Christ were tested ONCE, not twice to gain entrance to the kingdom. They didnt need the trials/testings/tribulations of this life PLUS the 70th week of Daniel to enter the kingdom. They escaped all. They were kept from "the" hour of testing. We who are alive and remain today are part of this same church. We are being tested and tried and have the same tribulations to overcome that they did. We too will be kept from the hell on earth tribulation which will be the darkest days this world has ever seen. As you believe (Matt 8:13), so you receive so be very careful what you let men talk you out of....

These are the words the Lord has impressed upon this writer's spirit today. Keep the faith, grace and peace.

10/6/2011

The past week or so the Lord has been answering prayers all over the place. What that means is the Lord is faithful and the Lord is good. You can trust Him.

What is the Lord saying today? Do the things we already know we should be doing. Matt 25, parable of the virgins and servants. Use the talent you have been given, dont bury it. Be watching-through prayer and ready-stay in the Word- like the wise virgins.

Keep His praise always on your lips, give thanks always. Move your lips when you are doing it. Remember all the many things the Lord has done for all the brothers, your family and you.

Nothing profound (as usual) just a reminder to do those things you know you should be doing.

Keep the faith, grace and peace
