2012 Guesstimate

2011 started with a bang and so far, looks like it will end with a whimper. If you remember the first quarter of this year, the earth was rocked. Between South America, New Zealand and Japan we had enough doom to think the end was indeed near. We saw quakes that ranged from the high 7s up through a 9 in Japan.

My understanding is that this thing, call it Nibiru or whatever you want is now behind the sun. The sun is shielding us from its influence at the moment. Starting late December 2011 into January 2012 I anticipate that once again we will see a repeat of the disasters of the early months of 2011 as we move around in our orbit of the sun, losing its protection and are again exposed to the influence of Nibiru. This time whatever may happen to the earth should be amplified because this space object is one year closer to us. Remember, this is just a guesstimate, a hypothesis not a prediction or a prophesy. This guesstimate is a by-product of this brother's watching.

What does this have to do with Christianity you ask? Well, if, and its just an if this world takes it on the chin again the way we did during the first months of this year. Many more people will perish. Yea, and? There is no guarantee that South America, New Zealand and Japan get the brunt of it again. Yea, and? This time the death and destruction could be at our doorstep. And? And if we are not right with the Lord now, we might be in trouble.

There are two ways we can stand before the Lord in short order. We can die out of this world or we can rapture/escape out. The Lord has not given me any clues other than the ones we all can see that the escape from all is near. If my guesstimate is correct, and starting around late Dec/Jan we start getting rocked again it is my prayer and hope that you who have ears to hear are ready along with me for whatever happens.

Again, I have received no word from the Lord on any of this. If I have received something from Him, it would be that internal resonance that says keep watching and be ready. It is possible that this writer is a watchman. The Lord never told me that I was, and I refuse to put labels on myself that the Lord has not given me directly. If this writer is a watchman then his duty is to warn the people. Here's this writer warning the people...I along with you have been warned now that in short order we may be in for more world rocking events. Perhaps nothing will happen next year. If thats the case then bless the Lord for another year of forbearance from His wrath and judgement that are surely coming. If 2012 is quiet, at a minimum we can say we were watching and ready, our minimum service in obedience to the commands the Lord has given us.

The Lord told us the end would come like childbirth (1 Thess 5:3). We are seeing events like earthquakes increasing in frequency and intensity. If there is an object like Nibiru approaching us close and closer every day, wouldn't it make sense that it would fit perfectly with what the Lord told us would happen? As it gets closer, earthquakes and such get more frequent and more violent. Again, "what" causes the promises in the bible to be fulfilled does not matter. The Lord told us whats going to happen and we can bank on it.

If we get a hint of a warning to be ready before disaster strikes, I consider this a blessing and thank the Lord for it.

keep the faith, grace and peace

Happy Day After Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in this writers mind is one of the most holy holidays. Why? Its a day to focus on the Lord God and give Him the thanks due to His name. Also it has not been hijacked by so called christianity and turned into a pagan holiday lightly dressed in a facade of christianity.

This writer and likely many of you have reason to give thanks. Thanksgiving is a day, a memorial on the calendar to stop and give thanks. For us who believe every day should be thanksgiving. The memorial day reminds us of what we should be doing every day. This brings us to the Feast of Trumpets. The Feast Day in this case reminds us that the Lord Jesus is coming. It also points to an unknown day that we should be looking for.

How do we look for an unknown day? You have to look for it every day. As it has been said here before, there is no argument any of the 'other tribbers' can use that is in any way better than the argument we the pre-tribulation believers make to be watching and ready every day. How can you miss the coming of the Lord if you are watching and ready every day? It is a water tight, iron clad, perfect from start to finish strategy for being ready to meet the Lord.

The "pre-wrath" who aren't really pre-wrath and the post-trib teachers tell you that we have a long time to wait until the Lord can possibly arrive for us. This writer believes they will pay a heavy price for their failure to watch daily now. As you believe, so you receive-thats what the Lord told us (Matt 8:13).

The wrath of God starts with the first seal that is opened. Wrath is clearly defined by the bible as the sword and famine at a minimum (Ezekiel 6:12) therefore the early seals (2 -3 at a minimum) of Revelation 6 opened by the Lord Jesus Christ are irrefutably the wrath of God unleashed on man. To be truly a pre-wrath believer is to believe the rapture will occur before the early seals of Rev 6 are opened.

What does that mean? Just what we have been saying here all along. The proof is stacked from the earth up into the heavens. The Lord will be coming back for us before the wrath of Rev 6-seals 2 or 3 onward takes place.

The Lord has impressed upon this writer what we all know, that is the entire bible points toward the Lord Jesus Christ in every way. One of those ways is how the ark that saved Noah and his family points to Jesus Christ as being our ark. There are many similarities between Jesus and Noah's ark. For example, there was only one door to enter the ark of safety. Who is the door to salvation in our day? You got it, Jesus Christ the Son of God and Him alone.

Another example is how Noah and His family were lifted up in the ark high above the earth. We know for a fact that during the escape from all coming to the earth that we will meet the Lord in the clouds. And where are the clouds? High above the earth. Will we be safe from the 'flood' that will be the tribulation period if we are with Jesus high above the earth in the clouds? Yep, just like Noah was safe. There are many more comparison made by other people if you care to google search their research.

Jesus Christ is the ark of our safety. He always has been and always will be. The Lord God can and will be coming back for us on an unknown day. We must be watching and ready for Him. Today I was reading Matthew 24 and what I see in there is a transition directly from the pre-flood days of the 'beginning of sorrows' directly to the tribulation.

I believe that it has dawned on me what the Lord's work for me is. My work is to warn whoever will listen that the Lord is coming back for us soon. My work is also to encourage those who will listen that the Words of the Lord are true as they point to an escape.

We were told that the coming of the Son of man will be just like the days of Noah and Lot. There was alot going on in the days of Noah. The days of Noah covered alot of ground-everything from the Nephilim on the earth to the earth being covered in violence to Noah walking with the Lord, the ark and salvation. What my work has been up through today has been to outline the apostasy of the church and present it to those who have ears to hear. It has also been (for the bulk of my time) to watch and warn that the Lord is coming. This is my understanding today of the work the Lord would have me do for the kingdom.

Why bother telling you these things? Because it explains why this writer sounds like a broken record. You read the same kinds of things over and over again. The reason why is the Lord fashioned this writer as a tool for doing this precise thing. A hammer sees everything as a nail, because a hammer was designed to drive in nails. Same thing with this writer, hopefully that explains what you read here.

The Lord is coming back for us soon. What does soon mean? I don't know. That's what resonates within the spirit of this writer. "Soon" is what I hear but I cannot nail down dates or times for you. I also "hear" patience from the Word of God which is Jesus Christ. The wise virgins brought oil with their lamps to wait. They were prepared to wait and we must be also. Why? The Lords understanding of time differs from ours. When the Lord says "soon" that means soon from His perspective not ours. He could return today, or 10 years from now. Both would be soon to Him.

Be watching and ready today. There are many unexplained young people dieing around us in the world today. What is causing these young people to die prematurely? Its more than bad luck, there is a systemic reason behind it. Whats that reason? All is not right.. If a person dies, thats it for them. If they werent watching and ready to meet the Lord at that time, they are in trouble. Watching and being ready right now has just as much to do with us going to meet the Lord in death as it does being called into the clouds to meet the Lord in the rapture. Nobody guaranteed us we will see the end of this day.

Being ready to meet the Lord today is a failsafe strategy. Does watching and readiness to meet the Lord today encourage holiness in your life? You bet it does. Does it encourage you to do the things you know you should be doing? Yes. So should we be watching and ready to meet the Lord today? Yes.

There is something going on in the world today that is not right. There are many things that are adversely affecting humans all over the world, I mean physically affecting us. Between fukushima radiation and chemtrail clouds to fluoride in our water to empty calorie and genetic modified food there is a war on the human body.

The economy appears poised to collapse. Societies bonds are disintegrating. War appears imminent. There are volcanoes, earthquakes, floods and famine everywhere we look. The signs are everywhere that the floodgates are about to be opened, but for today the gates have been restrained.

There is a Restrainer at work in the world today. The reason why we have gone so long without the floodgates being opened is because of the miraculous power of the Restrainer. This is a big point for us who watch and wait today. The devil does not determine the times and seasons of the end. The devil will not determine when the tribulation will start. The devil does not know when the Son of man will return. The devil can make educated guesses just like we can, but he does not know.

There are many many satanic false signs in the world today to counterfeit real signs the Lord has given us. So what? So, as long as we watch in readiness and wait every day those signs do not matter. Many people feel jerked around by what they consider false signals. You will not feel jerked around if you remember we are in this for however long it takes and we are watching and ready every day.

We all want to be with the Lord today. We all want the rapture to occur ASAP. The mercy of the Lord extends to those who are not yet ready today. This writer has a testimony that says the mercy and patience of the Lord are a blessing. If us waiting means more souls in the ark then its worth the wait. Waiting is hard. Many of the foolish virgins made no preparation to wait and they pay a heavy price for it (Matt 25).

What is the Lord saying to the churches today? Be ready for the Lord's return today but do not forget the lessons of the wise virgins and the faithful servants (Matt 25).

He knows we are weak and have little power (Rev 3-the church of Philadelphia). Be strong and very courageous. The Lord has given this writer many personal signs and signals that let me know the Lord is with me. This writer prays that what is written here is not the mind of man, but a product of resonance with the Spirit of God. That is my prayer.

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you and may He grant you peace. I ask you to please pray for me and my family. That we may be counted worthy along with you of the escape from all that is surely coming. Pray also that this writer may be given words of edification for you from the Lord's own mouth.

The words written here are for you. I pray that this writer may be removed completely from the words appearing on this blog that you and I can read and understand the mind of the Lord.

keep the faith, grace and peace

The Pre-Trib Rapture Standard

Gen 71And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation

We know from the gospels that the coming of the Son of man will be exactly like the days of Noah and Lot. What happened in the days of Noah? Did the Lord give us His reasoning for inviting Noah into the ark and leaving the rest outside? He certainly did. The Lord tells us that Noah was seen righteous in his generation before the Lord. That was the standard and it flies directly in the face of everything the "pre-wrath" and "post-trib" teachers of today tell you.

The pre-wrath and post-trib teachers tell you that those who are righteous before the Lord in this generation still "need" to get their teeth kicked in during the tribulation for this reason or that. Show me one place in the bible where the Lord confirms this doctrine of devils? Nowhere. The bible explains to us the mind and reasoning of the Lord. What is the mind and reasoning of the Lord as it concerns us in the days ahead?

Let the bible explain it:

Luke 17:26And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. 27They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyedthem all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed

As it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be again, the bible says that clearly. What else does the bible clearly tell us?

Gen 71And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation

The righteous in this generation will be called into "the ark" (before the flood). How do we know this is an ironclad guarantee? Because the Lord Himself tells us it will be just exactly like the days of Noah and in those days the righteous in the generation were spared from "the flood."

Why are there so many lies and so much deception concerning this in the world today? Because there are already many different "christs" in the world leading men astray. People say they follow Jesus, but I ask "which one?" If your brothers name is John, is everyone named John your brother? No. How do we know people follow different "Jesus" from the Son of God Jesus? We know from their doctrine. We know because their "Jesus" teaches them a different gospel from what we read in the pages of the bible.

They quote the bible but they twist its message. The righteous in the generation will be spared. Who said that? Jesus did.

The only way any of us will understand the mind of the Lord is to have the Spirit of the true and living God inside of us. If He does not teach us then we are deaf dumb and blind. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord. No fear of the Lord=no wisdom.

For a long time I myself have not understood what the Lords mission for me was. Perhaps it is just to follow Him one step at a time and that is all I need to know. The writing on this blog started with pointing out the complete and utter apostasy of todays so called christianity. Once the articles were written about that topic the Lord has had me move on never to look back. What has the Lord focused this writer on for most of the time this blog has been in existence? The rapture of the Church and the coming of the Lord.

If there is any subject that stands out to this writer above all others it is the coming of the Lord Jesus. If there is a message that this writer believes stands out above all others it is that we must be watching and ready for the Lord when He arrives. Thats it. Simple yes?

Timing: no man knows the day or hour. This writer has no idea whatsoever when the Lord will arrive for us. What do I suspect will happen based on what I understand today? The Feast of Trumpets is the next fall feast day to be prophetically fulfilled. That feast day points to an unknown day or hour. I do not know this, but I suspect that the Lord will come for us on one of the most 'boring' days of the year. Why? The wicked will not see it coming. If the Lord arrived on Rosh Hashanah some year, the wicked may be ready for it. They can read just like we can. The coming of the Lord will be unexpected. What day of the year would we least expect the Lord to arrive? That's the day He will arrive.

Hypothetically speaking what if the Lord arrived some boring day in February? Nothing special about the day except its boring and nothing special about it, except....that would be the day the Lord chose to arrive. Would that literally meet the requirement to arrive on an unknown day and hour? YES. Remember, the wicked spiritualists who are serious know for sure that the Lord does not lie and what He says will be done, will be done. They are slicing and dicing the Lord's Word for meaning just as we are. Their problem is they do not have the Spirit of God author living inside them to lead them to the truth.

Based on this thinking, we could and should expect the Lord to arrive on a day like today. An ordinary, nothing special about it day on which few if any would expect the Lord to arrive. It will be good for those servants who are watching and ready at the door when their Master arrives for them. That is the loud and clear message I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying today. Let us be watching and ready today, but let us not forget to do it with great patience like the wise virgins who brought oil with their lamps to wait for a Lord who mercifully tarries for those who do not yet "know" Him.

Nibiru Noah and Lot

Awhile ago an article was written here called Nibiru: if the shoe fits wear it. That article tells us what I want to write about again. When we take into consideration everything thats going on in the world and put it into a single framework to make sense of it all, which framework works the best? A Nibiru centric framework does. If we ask ourselves a series of questions like this:

How does the Lord judge the creation? Answer: through the creation, ie Noah's flood judged the ancient world

or

What in the creation could the Lord have employed to cause Noah's flood? Answer: Nibiru

or

What in creation could have caused the fire and brimstone to fall from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah? Answer: Nibiru

or Why are the powers that be allowing themselves to be chemtrailed along with all the rest of us? Because the chemtrails contain barium which absorbs radiation. Nibiru is emitting radiation that is hammering the world more and more every day. The chemtrails are absorbing it. The Lord I believe brought something to my attention the other day, its a test for how you feel and an empirical test for yourself of the reality of this. On bright sunny days for awhile now I've felt bad physically. I've asked the Lord, why can't I feel better on these beautiful days? On chemtrail days I usually feel physically better although emotionally I am upset at the way the skies are polluted. Test it for yourself. When there are no clouds, just bright sunshine test how you feel and compare it to other days.

More shoes that fit? Why are the powers that be attempting to run the economy into the ground now when they know people will revolt? They know the destroyer is inbound so they dont care if we revolt, they will be hiding in their caves while most get pummeled. That is their thinking and their cure for the masses revolting.

Why the nonstop bunker building by the powers that be? The destroyer/Nibiru is inbound

Why the doomsday seed vault in Norway? Nibiru the destroyer is inbound.

What caused the Norway spiral that the media lied off as a missile test? An inbound destroyer

In Matt 24 and Luke 17 we are told that the coming of the Son of man will be just like the days of Noah and Lot. This destroyer is a brown dwarf star, which means it is super cold, which means it is invisible which means its approaching by stealth, which means it is "coming like a thief."

Why are google sky and msn hiding sections of the sky so we cannot see whats out there? The destroyer is coming.

Why have millions of fish and birds died over the past couple years? The destroyer is coming

Why are the bees dieing mysterious deaths? Nibiru

Why are earthquakes and volcanoes, especially large ones popping off with more frequency and intensity? Nibiru

Why are we seeing earthquakes in places where there are no fault lines (Oklahoma)? Nibiru

Its a unified theory and it works without a fault. The earth is changing radically and something is causing it. Are there other theories out there for what is causing earth changes? Sure. Do they cover all the explanatory ground that a destroyer brown dwarf approaching does? No.

Could I be wrong about the name of whats approaching? Sure. Does it matter what its called? No, the effects are the same regardless of what we call it.

So once again we are brought back to the days of Noah and Lot. What does the bible tell us about these days? People were eating and drinking, planting and building, buying and selling and all the while a day of destruction was approaching them that they did not see. Look at the world today and what do you see? Buying and selling, planting and building, drinking and eating while a destroyer approaches that they do not see.

Does the biblical tie in stop there? No. Read through the entire book of Revelation, the seals, the trumpets, the vial judgements and what thread runs through them all? What in creation could be used to judge the creation in such a way as to cause what we read about in the book of Revelation? Nibiru/the destroyer. Again, it matters not what its called. What matters is the bible tells us exactly whats going to happen. If the bible says it, its better than written in stone guaranteed to happen.

"So what" you ask?

So, what kind of lives should we be leading today if we suspect that a destroyer is inbound to the earth? What should our relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord be like when we suspect that a destroyer is inbound to the earth? What does the bible say? What is the Spirit saying to the churches today?

The Lord speaks to men in many different ways at different times. The Lord tells us "my sheep know my voice.(John 10:27)" One of the ways this writer "hears" the Lord is through resonance. Its a musical term:

Whenever the vibrations of one object cause a second object to start vibrating, the second object is said to be resonating with the first, and its vibrations can be called sympathetic vibrations

http://cnx.org/content/m13537/latest/

What has been resonating in this writers spirit? The idea that what is significant today is above our heads, literally. When the Lord told us to "look up" when all these things begin to happen, He meant it, literally. Something is going on "out there" in space and whatever it is, its not going to be good for this world. So what? So we need to know what the Lord is saying to us today. What does this writer believe the Lord is saying today? Matt 24 and 25 nails it. We are in the days of Noah and Lot all over again. The parable of the virgins and the faithful servant from Matt 25 nails it. Thats where we are, and thats what we should be zeroing in on.

Time is short. This statement has been written here for 5 or so years now, and that may seem like a long time to men, but on the Lord's timeline what is 5 years? 5 years doesn't even register on an eternal timeline. So what? So as we maintain readiness and watchfulness we also must be patient. The foolish virgins were not prepared to be patient and they "left" their ready and watching positions to "go buy oil" for their lamps which also just happened to be the exact time the Lord showed up to call the Bride to the wedding.

Mark 13 tells us it will be good for the servant who is found watching and ready at the door when his Lord returns for Him. Let us pray that we will be found watching and ready when our Lord returns. Let us pray for all the brothers, our families and ourselves that we may all be counted worthy of the escape from all that is 100% guaranteed so that we may stand before the Son of man.

There is an escape from all coming, thats not my opinion, it is biblical fact. The Lord ordered us to pray that we may be counted worthy to escape ALL of whats about to happen. How many people calling themselves Christians today not only do not follow this command, but also teach others not to pray for the escape from all? What will happen to these people who know they should pray for escape but refuse to do it and teach others to disobey the command as well? What is the reward for willful disobedience?

I am no mans judge. In Matt 7 we are told "judge not." Although I am no mans judge, I would like to analytically evaluate some peoples positions and what their reward (or not) may be based on the Word of God. I would not deny any man entrance into heaven and I would not prevent a single person from leaving this wicked world in the rapture, thats my personal position, but it is not the Lord's position. If I were judge, I would have remedial training for quite a few years or some other kind of "get well" plan to prevent anyone from going to hell or missing the escape, but again, I am a man weak and short lived, of what account am I? My opinion counts for nothing.

It is my estimation that things will not go well for those who teach and preach a "pre-wrath" or "post-trib" rapture. As we believe, so we receive, that comes from the Lord's own mouth (Matt 8:13). I believe in a pre-wrath rapture but wrath starts with the first seal of Rev 6 not around the end of the tribulation.

Ezekiel 6:12 He that is far away will die of the plague, and he ...

... will die of the plague, and he that is near will fall by the sword, and he that survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I spend my wrath upon them

The Lord clearly spells out here ^^ that plague famine and the sword are His wrath being poured out. Remind me again what the seals of Rev 6 are again? Oh yea, famine, war, the sword....hello.

The pre-tribulation escape from all rapture is certainly coming and it could happen any day. The Lord revealed something to me recently about the Feast of Trumpets and the rapture. The Feast of Trumpets is tied to Rosh Hashanah which is a time when the "day or hour" is not known. The moon determines when the first day of the new year will be so we cannot know which day it will fall on. So the unknown day and hour points to the prophetically so far unfulfilled feast of trumpets, and the feast of trumpets points back to an unknown day and hour. Its a double reference or a circular reference. So what does this mean? It means the Feast of Trumpets is a time of remembrance of what will prophetically happen sometime in our future. Its a time marked out every year to remember. The actual fulfillment of this Feast day can occur on any day, an "unknown day" at any time and fulfill the prophetic requirement perfectly.

Whats the short version that explains this?^ If the rapture occurs on any day it will meet the requirements of occuring on an "unknown day." What does that mean for us? Be watching and ready every day. Is watching and ready every day what the Lord told us to do? Re-read the gospels and especially Mark 13, Luke 17 and Matt 24 and you tell me. Brother D is not telling you to watch and be ready, the Lord told you to do it. Any man who tries to tell us not to watch and be ready for the Lord's return today I consider to be a thief, a liar and a murderer. Harsh? Yes. Accurate? Yes.

If there is an escape and it requires faith, obedience to the Lord's command, watching and readiness to be found worthy of it, and some man teaches you not to watch and be ready today causing you to miss the escape which leads to your murder in the tribulation, that would make that man who taught the lie a liar, thief and murderer. Think about it.

this post is too long, but had to get this out there today. Keep the faith grace and peace

The Day Noah Entered the Ark

We are cruising along during these pre-flood days. There have been many warnings to the people of the world, but each warning tends to make those without "eyes that see" more dull. The people of the world have been put to sleep. We have been watching the worldwide trainwreck occur in slow motion now for so long that many people have lost patience to watch and wait.

What are you talking about brother D? I'm talking about watching for the arrival of the Lord of Hosts. I'm talking about watching and waiting like the wise virgins of Matt 25. In Luke 17 we read this:

Luke17:26“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.

Then the flood came....when? After Noah entered the ark. What happened right up till the day Noah entered the ark? Business as usual, kind of like today. The people living in the world today have a benefit over the people of Noah's day. Warning after warning after warning has been issued to the people of this world over a period of many years. When the Lord does show up, it will not be without warning because the drumbeat of warning has been nonstop for those who are listening.

For many people in the world today, the drumbeat of bad news is just that, news. For many people life goes on, planting, building, buying, selling, eating drinking etc. Things may be a bit tighter than they used to be, but overall life is business as usual. This in itself is a proof for the veracity of the Word of God.

Things have looked like they would collapse under their own weight for a long time now, but "business as usual" goes on. If the Word of God is correct and we know it is, then things will continue to go on this way until those in this world who are found worthy like Noah enter the "ark" and then the flood comes to take away those who are left.

We have had signs of every kind imaginable, everything from right in front of your face economic collapse to signs in the heavens (like Rev 19 playing out in the stars this past September). The world sees it all as one reason after another to scoff and harden their hearts. Those who are watching see it all as mounting evidence that something we know is coming is about to take place.

This leads me to something the Lord shared with me today that I guess you could categorize as a worthiness check for what we read in Matt 7:13-28 and Luke 21:36. Not everyone who calls Jesus Lord is going to be called into the ark or allowed into heaven before or after the rapture of the Church. I am no man's judge, but the Word who is the Lord Jesus judges all things. That Word says there is a narrow path and a small gate that leads to life (Matt 7:14). There is a worthiness factor. Here's where the Lord's mental dialogue with me today comes in. It has to do with Jesus "knowing" you.

Read this:

Matt 7:²¹ “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. ²² Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ ²³ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

Have you ever wondered what the Lord meant there? How can a God who knows everything tell many people that He doesn't know them? Obviously He is not referring to a mental knowledge of who a person is. The Lord "knows" as in knowledge knowing -all things. So what kind of "knowing" is the Lord talking about?

Many years ago, if a man was to say he "knew" a woman in the proper context, it would mean he was intimate with her. That man would have been talking about sex but we are not. What we are talking about is intimacy, and that with the Lord. Why are we here on this earth? To get to know the Lord, and to decide whether or not we want to love the Lord. That's it in a nutshell. We are deciding in this life whether or not we want an intimate eternity long relationship with the Lord. Those who do want this relationship become intimately close with the Lord, thus the Lord "knows" us who have been in this type of relationship with Him.

In this sick world people read or hear intimate and they hardwire over to sex. That's Satan's cheap replacement diversion and imitation of what the Lord has called us to.

If we want to be counted worthy of the escape from all that is coming, and if we want to be counted worthy of the kingdom of heaven then we need to be in the kind of relationship with the Lord where He "knows" us, and we "know" Him. It's not the kind of "knowing" this sick world practices. If it was, many many more people would be entering the kingdom of heaven through that small gate that leads to life. As we know from the bible, only a few will make it (Matt 7:14). This was written to us to cause us to think hard about the choices we are making.

We have been called to an intimate very close relationship with the King of Kings. Many people today calling themselves Christians do not "know" the Lord Jesus anymore than they "know" the president of the US, or France or Spain. They know who these people are, but they don't "know" them.

If we don't know the Lord Jesus personally and intimately, do we really think we are going to make it through the small gate?

Although the beginning of the end seems to drag on and on and on, the end is certainly coming. The earth itself is telling us that it is groaning under the weight of the sin that is upon it. Earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, mass animal death, signs in the heavens and last but not least we all can literally feel in our bones that something is not right and things are changing for the worse. Death and the shadow of death are upon the land. Time is short. What does that mean? I don't know.

This year has seen a number of warnings, all of which the world has laughed off and ridiculed. Next year is more than some mythology out of the mayan calendar. We know for a hard scientific fact that we are coming into alignment with the galactic plane. Whats going to happen when we line up? Nobody really knows. Today's "science" is a joke. Everyday I'm reading expert after expert saying "I don't know" when asked the hard questions about whats going on in the skies above us.

People can and do debate what this all means. What they cannot debate is the objective evidence we see with our own eyes in the world around us now. Something is not right and something is causing that "not right" to happen. I dont have to prove to anyone "what" is causing anything, all I have to do is point to the overwhelming evidence in the world around us. What is the Lord going to use in creation to cause what we read in the book of Revelation to happen? We don't really know. Nibiru? Planet X? Asteroids? Comets? Galactic alignment? Who knows. Does it really matter? Not really. Regardless of what the cause is, the effect will be what we read from the mouths of the prophets and the book of Revelation.

What is the Lord saying to us today? Watch and warn. Be ready, be patient. Take nothing for granted, give thanks and rejoice always. Be found as faithful servants and wise virgins when the Master arrives for us. Think hard about how well you know the Lord. Do you "know" Him? and more importantly does He "know" you?.....These things are what this unworthy servant hears the Lord saying today.

It appears that the window for the asteroid passing between the earth and moon has closed and it has passed harmlessly. Business as usual for another day is what was most likely.

I've seen some video evidence of warnings in the sky relating to Nibiru/planet X whatever. I have no doubt that something, whatever we might want to call it is on the way to punch planet earth and its inhabitants in the face. It has been said here many times, we already know for a fact what is coming. Open the book of Revelation around Revelation 6 and start reading. Every Word in there will be fulfilled to the letter. We also know that our Lord has judged the creation through the creation in the past, for example, the flood in Noahs day, drought, famine etc.

We know what is coming, but we do not know when. Although we do not know when, we see signs all around us that tell us time is short. These signs have been around us now for years and many are growing faint. Some have given up waiting. What a terrible mistake. The parable of the virgins was given to us as an example. We must be the wise virgins who bring extra oil to watch for the Bridegroom and be prepared to wait for Him however long He tarries.

The Lord determines the time of things. His time and no other determines when the Restrainer will be removed. Till then we must learn the lesson of the virgins and the parable of the profitable servants, both in Matthew 25.

Lets be found doing those things we know we should do while we wait with great patience for our Savior from heaven. We are dearly loved.

11/6 Just as it was in the days of Noah

Matt 24:42Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

If there is a Word the Lord has for us today, I believe it is the Word above. Watch and be ready. In an hour that you think not, the Son of man cometh.

That and this really stirs my spirit today:

Matt 24:36But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 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.

We are in the "days before the flood" today. And our Lord tells us that just exactly as it was in the days of Noe so shall it be when the Lord comes. How did things go down in Noe's day? Noe entered the ark THEN the flood came.

There is a day coming when those who are counted worthy in this world will enter their "ark" and then once again the flood will come. How can we be 100% sure this will happen? The Lord God has spoken the Words Himself. Just as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be when the Lord comes back for us.

As I am writing this, the Lord just dropped another interesting distinction into my mind. Here it is:

Mark 1333Take 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.

When we talk about the Son of man coming back to earth, some people tell us its the second coming and not the rapture. They are wrong. Notice the wording in the scripture above as well as the parallel descriptions in Luke and Matt. The Lord left "his house." See that? What is the Lord's house? Where does the Lord live here on earth? Answer.......in us. We are the house of God. When the Son of man returns He is returning to and for US. We are His house. Notice the Lord does not say He is coming back to the entire world. Notice He does not say He is coming back for "them." He says He is coming back to His house and His servants. That would be us friends.

And thus we have another piece of irrefutable proof in support of the pre-tribulation rapture. Noah and Lot were removed before the destruction of their day. They were physically removed to safety. The bible says that Noah in particular was lifted up "high above the earth."

Genesis 7:17 For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth ...

For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.

Where will our place of safety be in the rapture? Where will we meet the Lord? In the clouds....and where is that? High above the earth. Just as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of man returns.

What is the Lord saying to the churches today? Watch and be ready. Pray in obedience to the Word given to us in Luke 21:36 that all of us who believe may be counted worthy of the escape from all that is surely coming so we can stand before the Son of man.

Be patient, and be ready. Be ready to stay and ready to go. I expect the Lord to return for us any day now. I pray that the Lord will give us His strength and patience to live this life torn between the need to stay here and press on with our work while we await our Redeemer from heaven.

Keep the faith, grace and peace

ELE-nin Again?

So, the comet did nothing but we all know the name ELENIN at this point. The comet is gone but the name lives on. What's in this name? Extinction level event? Maybe. A straightforward reading of the name seems to also point to ELEven NINe or November 9th. Whats going on 11/9? An asteroid is inbound (2005 YU55) between the earth and the moon.

Why mention this? Because we were told to "look up" when all the things Jesus told would happen begin to happen. Look up means we are staring at the skies. We expect our Lord to descend to the clouds and call us up. We dont know when this will happen but we know that we should be looking up right now. Do I expect the rapture on 11/9? I expect the rapture every day....We were told to be like servants waiting for their master to return from a long journey. We were told to be watching and ready-every day.....

Who knows what if anything will happen this next week. The highest likelihood is that nothing whatsoever out of the ordinary will take place. In spite of the high likelihood that nothing out of the ordinary will happen, we must be ready for the possibilities of our day. What is highly improbable is absolutely possible.

Our job is to be watching and ready. This believer takes at face value the Lord's command to "look up" both literally and figuratively. There will be some serious signs in the sky tied to the time of Jacob's trouble. Things are absolutely not right with the earth. Nibiru or planet x or whatever you want to call it is inbound. The scoffers can scoff all they want. We may not get the name right of the "what" causing all these planetary changes but we can certainly see the changes themselves.

If someone were to blindfold you and punch you in the face knocking all your teeth out, how ignorant would it be of someone to say "you didnt get punched in the face because you cant identify who punched you"!? That's absolutely stupid, and yet its the very argument being used against those who know something is coming towards us in space. The earth is getting "punched in the mouth" but we have blindfolds on, we cannot identify who or what exactly is doing the "punching."

Volcanoes, earthquakes and more animal deaths combined with the ongoing pollution of the world by fukushima and the worlds economic woes are enough evidence to tell you that we who live on planet earth today are walking a fine line. The line is a line of separation between the "pre-flood" days of Noah and the days of temptation, trial and tribulation to come.

This writer believes that the Lord Himself is holding things together in these last days. It is a divine miracle that the entire world has not yet collapsed into a demonic apocalypse. The Restrainer is still at work in this world today, glory to God. If you wondered in the past how we could come this far and still be living in "pre-flood" days, then you are like me. The only way it is possible is through the Lord's forbearance and mercy.

The Lord's patience means salvation to somebody each and every day. Only the Lord knows how patient He has been with me over the years as I did stupid thing after dumb thing after self destructive thing after foolish thing and deserved death for it all. But the Lord's patience and grace were more than enough to turn me around (thanks be to our Lord Jesus Christ).

Be watching and ready for a potentially earth changing event next week but realize that it is highly likely to be just another ordinary week. The Lord has been strangely silent with me over the past few weeks. I ask Him daily, "what are you saying to us Lord?" and "what is your Spirit saying to the Churches?" And lately I haven't heard much. What I did get last week is a short instruction that we need to be thankful and patient and hang on. Continue to do the things we know we should do while the Master is "away."

This attitude toward today and the days ahead is what sets the pre-tribulation rapture belief head and shoulders above the rest. We are watching and ready for the Lord's return TODAY and every day while all the rest are out playing word games with the Word of God which will certainly burn them in the end.

Keep the faith, be watching and ready.
