This is a powerful quake and we haven't even made it to the heart of the watch window yet.

M 6.2 Gulf of California- 9/25/2012

Here you can see the screenshot from intellicast with the 6.2 Eq in the Gulf of California.  The reporting criteria here is a 6.2 or greater because these quakes have tremendous destructive capacity.  I don't remember seeing this one on the live earthquakes map I usually view daily.

This quake plus the 6.9 (7.0) today are two days apart and in diverse places.

Matt 24:4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Grace and peace

M6.9 Earthquake: Alaska

Let's just call it a 7.0.  They have been playing rounding games to shade these quakes just under what they really are.

http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/map_detail.php?id=226826


It's the end of September or close to it and we are in the window to see the next large quake sometime in the time neighborhood of 10/11 which is the orbital mirror of the twin megaquakes we saw on 4/11 of this year.  The later after 10/11 the next large quake is the closer the destroyer is, at least that is my understanding of how this works.

Why does this servant constantly write about earthquakes?  The Master has drawn his attention there.  Where in the Word do we see the Lord's confirmation that this line of thinking is relevant to us who believe?  Many places.  Here's a sample for today:

Isaiah 2:19 Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in ...

Men will flee to caves in the rocks and to holes in the ground from dread of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth

Isaiah 13:13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the ...

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble; and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the LORD Almighty, in the day of his burning anger. Job 38:13 that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the ... that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it? Ezekiel 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

Joel 3:16 The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem ...

... The LORD's voice will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth will shake. And there is so much more.  Do a word search for the word earthquake in the bible.  The shaking of the earth which by definition is "earthquake" is a sign from the Lord.  We don't need to add that rivers turning to blood around the world this year are also a sign.  These signs give us no indication of when things will happen, but they certainly signal what is to happen.  Let those of us who have eyes to see and ears that hear understand what the Master is saying to us today.

What is the Lord's counsel to this servant over the past couple weeks?  The same as it has been.  Be patient, be faithful, watch and be ready.  Time itself is a major part of our test in these last days.  Who will be patient enough and faithful enough to wait for the Lord until He arrives?  That's the question we must answer for ourselves.

How long do we watch and wait?  Until He arrives for us.  An escape has been promised.  What it is exactly, how it actually happens, when it happens etc are all in the hands of the Lord.  Noah escaped the flood in an ark.  Lot was escorted out of Sodom by angels.  Luke 21:36 tells us to be watching ALWAYS and pray that we may be counted worthy to escape all of whats about to happen and stand before the Son of Man.  Revelation 3:10 tells us that those who keep the Word of the Lord's patience will be kept from the hour of trial thats about to come upon all those who are  upon the face of the earth.

The Lord is faithful.  What He promised He will surely deliver.  We must hold in by faith with great patience and endurance.  Only the Lord knows how short time really is.  We see signs all around us but we have been seeing signs now for years.  At any time in the twinkling of an eye everything could change and our wait could be over.

What has the Lord drawn this servants attention to this week?  This:

Psalm 27:14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait ...

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Psalm 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I ...

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.

Psalm 37:34 Wait for the LORD and keep his way. He will exalt you ...

Wait for the LORD and keep his way. ... Wait with hope for the LORD, and follow his path, and he will honor you by giving you the land. 1 Corinthians 1:7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as ... Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. Luke 12:36 like men waiting for their master to return from a ... ... And ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, they may open unto him

Psalm 123:2 As the eyes of slaves look to the hand of their master ...

... as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God

And these are just a sample of many places in the Word where our Lord has instructed us to wait and be patient.  Of this I am sure, we will not be disappointed when we pass this test.

Hold on, that is this servants encouragement for you today which he has received from the Lord.  Do not be discouraged or dismayed.  The enemy has been sending out his false signals and signs and everything else he can do to pull us or push us or in anyway shake us from our firm foundation that is in Christ Jesus.

If you are weak ask the Lord for strength, if you lack faith ask the Lord for more faith.  Ask, seek, knock and the door will be opened.

May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

What is Going to Happen to the Earth and Why

If you want to know for sure what is coming read on:

Isaiah 24 >>

---

1See, the Lord is going to lay waste the earth

and devastate it;

he will ruin its face

and scatter its inhabitants—

2it will be the same

for priest as for people,

for master as for servant,

for mistress as for maid,

for seller as for buyer,

for borrower as for lender,

for debtor as for creditor.

3The earth will be completely laid waste

and totally plundered.

The Lord has spoken this word.

4The earth dries up and withers,

the world languishes and withers,

the exalted of the earth languish.

5The earth is defiled by its people;

they have disobeyed the laws,

violated the statutes

and broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore a curse consumes the earth;

its people must bear their guilt.

Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,

and very few are left.

7The new wine dries up and the vine withers;

all the merrymakers groan.

8The gaiety of the tambourines is stilled,

the noise of the revelers has stopped,

the joyful harp is silent.

9No longer do they drink wine with a song;

the beer is bitter to its drinkers.

10The ruined city lies desolate;

the entrance to every house is barred.

11In the streets they cry out for wine;

all joy turns to gloom,

all gaiety is banished from the earth.

12The city is left in ruins,

its gate is battered to pieces.

13So will it be on the earth

and among the nations,

as when an olive tree is beaten,

or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest.

Notice this is a coming event not a past one.  When have all the inhabitants of the earth, all of them been "burned up" to the point there were very few left?

Therefore earth’s inhabitants are burned up,

and very few are left.

Continuing on in the same chapter we have this:

But I said, “I waste away, I waste away!

Woe to me!

The treacherous betray!

With treachery the treacherous betray!”

17Terror and pit and snare await you,

O people of the earth.

18Whoever flees at the sound of terror

will fall into a pit;

whoever climbs out of the pit

will be caught in a snare.

The floodgates of the heavens are opened,

the foundations of the earth shake.

19The earth is broken up,

the earth is split asunder,

the earth is thoroughly shaken.

20The earth reels like a drunkard,

it sways like a hut in the wind;

so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion

that it falls—never to rise again.

21In that day the Lord will punish

the powers in the heavens above

and the kings on the earth below.

22They will be herded together

like prisoners bound in a dungeon;

they will be shut up in prison

and be punished^a after many days.

23The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed;

for the Lord Almighty will reign

on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,

and before its elders, gloriously.

It has been proven before that earthquakes are a signature judgement of the Lord.  Do a word search for earthquake if you haven't read the posts about them.  The Lord does not always use the word earthquake though, sometimes He describes earthquakes for us in detail as He has
done for us here in Isaiah 24:the foundations of the earth shake.

19The earth is broken up,

the earth is split asunder,

the earth is thoroughly shaken.

20The earth reels like a drunkard,

it sways like a hut in the wind;

The whole earth is thoroughly shaken, it reels like a drunkard, like a hut in the wind.  That's not one city or country, that is the entire earth He is talking about.

This is what is coming.  This past summer of 2012 saw the earth scorched creating the largest natural catastrophe in U.S. history.  I know from personal experience and speaking with others that the sun has turned dangerous.  I don't know exactly why or how and I don't need to know, what does it matter whether I can explain that or not?  You can feel the difference in the sun now and the earth can feel it too.  The earth's inhabitants are beginning to be 'burned up' just exactly as the Lord said they would.

Of course the shills and scoffers and so called "experts" will come out with their ridiculous explanations to attempt to make it all go away, but it will not go away.  What the Lord has opened, no man can shut and what the Lord closes no man can open.  Who can undo the work of the Lord?  Man is trying.  If you look closely at hurricane Isaac you will see that it was a created weather event.  Notice this hurricane hit squarely where water was needed, specifically the Mississippi river.  The dollar value of lost commerce was pinching the powers that be so they tried their hand at playing 'god' and brought hurricane Isaac.  There is alot of research behind weather modification etc and its all right there on the net for you to research should you feel inclined to do so.

The earth has already begun to reel like a drunkard and now the earth is being burned up.  Admittedly we are just seeing the very very beginning of such things so denial is still an option for the masses who would rather bury their head than face the truth.  And why is all this coming?  Why is this happening?

5The earth is defiled by its people;

they have disobeyed the laws,

violated the statutes

and broken the everlasting covenant.

6Therefore a curse consumes the earth;

its people must bear their guilt.

The people must bear their guilt.  The earth is defiled by its people.  The Lord will not be mocked. Because He has long been silent people do not think He sees or hears and they have lost their fear of the Lord:

Isaiah 57:11“Whom have you so dreaded and feared

that you have been false to me,

and have neither remembered me

nor pondered this in your hearts?

Is it not because I have long been silent

that you do not fear me?

We are creeping up on the end of September and will soon be in October.  October specifically is the window the fits the major earthquake pattern that has been established over the course of years.  This year we had twin mega-quakes on 4/11.  Add 6 months and you get 10/11.  It is a window to be watching.  It has been said here repeatedly that the Lord comes with EARTHQUAKE among other things:

Isaiah 29:6 the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and ...

the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire

Notice also He comes with devouring fire.  The Lord wasn't kidding when He said the inhabitants of the earth will be burned up and very few will be left.

Isaiah 

... I will make people harder to find than pure gold and human beings more rare than gold from Ophir

We would be wise to take these things to heart.  We should ask, seek and knock today.  We should ask the Lord what offensive ways we have in our hearts today that could keep us from the escape and out of the gates of heaven.  Few will be saved, few walk the narrow path that leads to life (Matt 7:13-14).  We will all stand before the Lord and give answers for ourselves.  It will be a court held in heaven so we must legally according to the laws of the Lord prepare ourselves for that day.

This should not create fear but should spur us to action.  What is the Lord saying to us personally today?  Have we asked Him?  Have we inquired of Him?  After we have asked have we waited on Him in faith and patience?  We are being tested.  Time is a major part of our test.  Many will fall away because they were not willing to wait.  Example?  Who will be kept from the hour of trial that will come upon the entire earth?

Rev 3:10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.

Ask, seek, knock and do it today please:

Matt 77“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

These are the things this writer has been impressed with today.  May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Rosh Hashanah 2012

When is Rosh HaShanah in 2012?

Rosh HaShanah in 2012 will start on Monday, the 17th of Septemberand will continue for 2 days until Tuesday, the 18th of September.

Note that in the Jewish calander, a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so observing Jews will celebrate Rosh HaShanah on the sunset of Sunday, the 16th of September.

http://www.when-is.com/rosh-hashanah-2012.asp

Tonight after sunset we enter that window in time called Rosh Hashanah or the Feast of Trumpets. The Feast days of the Lord are days to remember what He has said.  They are days of remembrance and promise.  So over the next two days we should remember and be watching.

Could the Bridegroom return for the Bride (not the 'second coming') over the next few days?  Absolutely He could.  Should we be ready to meet our Lord over the next few days?  Yes.  We can say this but we must also remember that we have been commanded to watch and be ready every day.  I am amazed at how many self proclaimed Christians refuse to obey the Lord's command to watch every day.  What will be the price for willful refusal to obey?  Time will tell.

On one hand the Feast of Trumpets every year appears to be the spot on day the Lord will carry away His Bride, on the other hand the Jewish wedding tradition tells us the Bride has no idea when the Bridegroom is coming for her, which is why she must ALWAYS be ready.

Let us be watching and ready should this year be the year the Lord comes back to snatch away His Bride and all hell breaks loose here on earth.  The Lord counsels this servant to faith and patience today and this servant passes on that counsel to you.

M6.4 Earthquake Indonesia

http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/map_detail.php?id=223388


Just an FYI.  As we get to the end of September and into October we will probably see at least one very large earthquake somewhere.  Why?  A multi-year pattern that has not been broken pointing through the spring and fall rotation of the earth around the sun.

Why write about earthquakes here?  Because the Lord uses earthquakes as a sign in His Word.  Do a word search in the bible for "earthquake" and you will see.

May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Strong Sulfur Smell All Over California

Do a google search for "sulfur smell California."

People as far away as Texas are smelling this strong sulfur.  As usual the media and their 'experts' verge on the ridiculous with their explanations.  Dead fish in one place in California is causing a sulfur smell all over the state? Pleeeeeease.

I have a better explanation for the strong sulfur smell:

Revelation 9:18 

A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.  Do you think perhaps mankind is being warned again?  I do. Luke 17:29  But the day Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all. Do a word search for sulfur in the bible and draw your own conclusions.  We are reading about strong sulfur smells in California at the same time a major river in China runs blood red:http://www.gadling.com/2012/09/11/chinas-golden-waterway-turns-blood-red/  The world's explanations for these things are ridiculous.  The 'experts' have nothing to offer in the way of science so they offer you ridiculous stupidity and hope you will buy it.  We have had the worst year of catastrophic drought, the largest natural catastrophe in US history, major earthquake signs, sulfur smells in California, tornados in Washington DC and New York City (this past weekend), rivers running blood red in China and Beirut, fish birds large mammals of every kind dieing by the thousands, strange sounds being reported all over the world again and they best the experts have to offer is "the fish did it."  Really? These signs we are seeing are as in our face as they could possibly be.  A person would have to be willfully blind or so dead in their sins that they have lost all sensitivity to miss how big the neon sign is flashing in our face.  Pre-tribulation tribulation signs are all around us today.  The world has been put on notice.  How long we have only the Lord knows. The Feast of Trumpets begins in 5 days.  Could the Lord return for us over these days that "no man knows the day or hour?"  It is possible.  It would be a direct fulfillment of prophesy if it happened on these days.  Do I think the Lord will return on 9/16-9/18?  Probably not.  Why?  Because too many people will be expecting Him.  Will I be watching and (I pray) ready on those days just in case?  You bet I will.  We are to be watching and ready every day, not just feast or holy days etc. The Lord will show up when most people do not expect Him to.  Most people today are not watching or ready for the return of the Lord so if He did return this Feast of Trumpets it would still make sense that most people would be surprised.  How many self proclaimed Christians not only do not watch for the Lord today but also teach others not to watch?  What will be their end? The Lord commanded us to be ALWAYS on the watch.  What does always mean?Luke 21:36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”  Ask your 'pre-wrath' and 'post-trib' friends if they are ALWAYS watching and praying to escape all that is about to happen.  We know they are not, so what do you call that?  Willful disobedience.  They know what the command is yet they refuse to do it because they hold the words of men and the doctrines of demons in higher regard than the Word of God.  They can wiggle and squirm all they want but this issue is simple and cannot be avoided.  Watch ALWAYS.  Period. Switching Gears. For those who are watching and ready for the return of the Lord (for the Bride not the "second coming"), the Lord impressed me with this today and I share it with you:4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.  Here we see another command.  Rejoice 'in the Lord' always.  He even said it again REJOICE.  Its not an option, its a command.  Why?  So things will go well with us.  There is a way to approach the Lord God Almighty and it is not with whining moaning and grumbling.  We are to approach the throne of grace with rejoicing and THANKS. Do you enjoy having the Lord's ear and having your prayers answered?  I do.  How do we gain an audience with the Lord?  Standing "in Christ" is first, that means we belong to Him and have access to the throne through our Lord Jesus.  Next we need to do what we were told to do, rejoice, give thanks, praise Him. Psalm 100:4  Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. Our God is a God of miracles and this brother is in the midst of one of the greatest personal miracles I have seen yet.  No need to go into details but there is a need to share how we approach and commune with this Great God we serve.  This brother is nothing, He is everything.  This brother would like to encourage you today at this late hour to make your standing "in Christ" firm to to approach Him with the praise, rejoicing, worship and thanks He deserves so things may go well with you. May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with us.

M 6.0 Kuril Islands

http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/map_detail.php?id=222119


Yesterday I was caught out in the open with my family by a tornado.  Thanks be to the Lord that He killed it before it could kill or injure anyone.

The world and its weather are getting stranger by the day.

We are moving into September now and late this month into the balance of October is the large quake window that mirrors this years twin mega quakes on 4/11/12.  It was written here earlier that we must prepare.  Have food, water etc is part of this but the only real preparedness comes from being "in Christ" and having His constant gaze of protection on your life.  This was proven yesterday to this brother.

Please remember to spend time in the Word, get down on your knees and worship the Creator who is forever praised.  Give thanks and rejoice in the presence of the Lord as you offer up your requests to Him.  If we get nothing else right in this life, let us get this thing right.  Let the praises of our Father in the name of Jesus continually be in our mouth.  Lets get that right.

We have no idea how much time this world has left before things turn upside down.  2012 is likely a trap to deflate peoples expectations, but we cannot be sure.  Because we do not know the day or hour of our Lord's return for us we must be watching and ready every day.  That is the Lord's command to us.  While we watch in readiness let us fill our mouths with praise and rejoicing.

The Lord does not like grumbling and complaining:

Numbers 14:1That night all the people of the community raised their voices and wept aloud. 2All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this desert! 3Why is the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” 4And they said to each other, “We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.”

5Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. 6Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7and said to the entire Israelite assembly, “The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. 8If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. 9Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.”

10But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory of the Lord appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites. 11The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs I have performed among them? 12I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they.”

In order to please the Lord, we must know the Lord.  What is good and pleasing to our Lord?  Praise and thanks.  Regardless of what is going on in your life, we all have tests and trials but surely you can find something to thank and praise the Master for...right?

The Lord has recently performed for this servant and his family the greatest miracle this servant has ever seen.  I mention this to encourage you since the brother writing these words is the very least of all the servants who are in Christ Jesus.  If we would just do what He tells us to do, things will go exceedingly well for us.  His commands are not hard, nor are they a burden upon us.  We have been told what to do so things will go well with us and our families.

Thank, praise and worship the Lord today, I plead with you.  Practice and exercise your faith daily.  Keep the commands we have been given.  These are the things this servant is impressed with today.

May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.

Papua, Indonesia-6.1 Magnitude Earthquake

http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/map_detail.php?id=221920


I report to you quakes over 6.0 because a 6.0 is a large earthquake.  The Lord has directed this servant's attention to earthquakes as a sign of the approaching destroyer.  This servant does not know 'what' the destroyer is, but according to the Lord's impression upon me I understand it to be coming from the heavens, space, above our heads, out there-you get the idea.

I believe this destroyer is multifaceted as well.  I think it is a celestial body, but there are other aspects of it as well that the Lord has not identified to me.  This is why you read postings such as today's on this blog.  We look where the Master tells us to look.  I write what the Master tells me to write.

Pay attention to these earthquakes.  Also pay attention to the other 'signature' signs the Lord is giving this world.  Rivers turned to blood certainly qualify as 'signature' signs of the Lord.  Your bible has the evidence of this.

China:

http://beforeitsnews.com/china/2012/09/major-china-river-turns-blood-red-and-turns-up-a-mystery-2443352.html

Beirut:

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Local-News/2012/Feb-16/163449-beirut-river-mysteriously-runs-blood-red.ashx#axzz25tANVQ5M

Read the Words of the prophets and the book of Revelation for more details of what is to come.  The Lord warns us in advance as an act of mercy and grace.  Let us warn those who will listen and strengthen the feeble hands today while grace and mercy are extended to mankind.

May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.

No Big Earthquakes Yesterday, or Today (so far), But Wait!

Don't worry, the signs keep coming right up close and personal:

Residents of Chinese city left baffled after Yangtze turns scarlet

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2199800/The-river-DID-run-red-Residents-Chinese-city-left-baffled-Yangtze-turns-scarlet.html


Blood red rivers...We had one earlier this year in Beirut, now here in China.  Note in the article that they try to explain this away with "but don't worry this has happened before."  Their excuse?  A dye manufacturer did it.  Really?  Just so happens that's the same excuse they gave for the river in Beirut turning blood red.  How coincidental.  The other coincidence?  Of all the colors dye manufacturers produce, the same color, BLOOD RED is the color both rivers turned.  Gee, what are the odds?  Their lies and obfuscations are getting more ridiculous by the day.

To be fair, in this article they did quote the Bible, which is the real reason behind the rivers turning color:

Rev 16:4The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

How many more signs could we possibly see in so short a time?  Notice what we see now because it is what will be seen later.  Credit is rarely if ever given to the Word of God which is coming to pass exactly as it has been written.  Lies and excuses will be given for every fulfilled Word in the Bible.

In this case, "dye manufacturers" are supposedly  the cause of the river turning red.  I thought the last time it happened the people were arrested and carted away?  So what's the excuse today?  The same people?  Dyeing the river the same color?

Blood red rivers are another signature of the Lord's hand.  Remember the plagues in Egypt in Moses' time?  Water turned to blood.

This is a signature attention getter that the Lord has sent this world, right up there with the earthquakes.  Every reason under the sun will be given for these things except the real reason.  The judgement and wrath of the Lord God.  This world is being warned, but who has eyes to see and ears to hear?

grace and peace

Another MASSIVE Earthquake, 7.9 of the coast of Costa Rica

http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/map_detail.php?id=220994

Things are getting really really real folks.  This is massive quake number 2 in one week with daily 6.0 or greater quakes in between.  It appears that events are accelerating.  If these quakes continue the frequency and intensity pattern that we have been on for the last 30 days then we should expect catastrophic events to take place soon.  I am not predicting anything, I am watching and analyzing the objective evidence set before us.

A large quake post was made this morning before this 7.9 monster struck.  Was it really a 7.9?  Lets just call it an 8.0 to undo the data shaving the world governments are performing on these quake numbers.  By anyone's measure this was a monster earthquake.

To give you an idea where we are just look at the headlines from this blog over the past 14 days or so:

We have had a MAGNITUDE 7 earthquake almost EVERY DAY over the past 8 days....

Notice how we have heard nothing from cnn, msn, faux news etc.  Keep the people in the dark until the last second is what they plan to do.

These large quakes are stacked on top of each other.  We had twin 7.9 (8.0 or greater probably) over the past 6 days and not a whisper from the 'news' media or the government.

Things are getting real and they are going so incredibly fast.  Be ready.  For what?  For the Lord to arrive, and to deal with a world turning upside down should He tarry much longer.  Have food, water, emergency supplies etc to deal with short term disruptions to the logistics network in your part of the world wherever that is.

The Lord always provides.  He will always do His part, he expects us to do ours.  Short term preparations is well within what I believe we are expected to do.  Rice is cheap.  Dried beans are cheap.  Water storage in old 2 liter plastic bottles is cheap.  If you are reading this you have the means to do minimal things like have some of these things set aside.

You will not be warned by the media or your government.  The signs and signals of this past week have been extraordinary.  Get ready immediately, please.

May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.

This post is just for situational awareness that these large quakes are now a daily event.  Is that normal?  No, but it is the new normal.

Another Large Earthquake Today: Indonesia Magnitude 6.6

SW of Bali, Indonesia.
http://quakes.globalincidentmap.com/map_detail.php?id=220339

I will be the first to admit that I have not seen earthquake activity like this-ever.  We are looking at back to back high 6's into the high 7 magnitude earthquakes daily.  Is that 'business as usual?'  I think not.

The frequency and intensity of these earthquakes leads me to believe we are close to the time when the destroyer begins its real destruction.  All of these large quakes are going unnoticed by the public.  Had any one of them been under a major city, that city would be leveled.  We have been spared up to this point in time.

2012 has seen the worst drought in US history.  The earthquake activity is going through the roof and it appears to be accelerating.  The next days, weeks and months could see catastrophic disasters related to these quakes and most people are oblivious.

Earthquakes in diverse places are a sign of the Lord's coming.  We do not know the day, but we know we should be watching and ready when He arrives.

In light of impending disaster what are believers to do?  We have been blessed with a warning.  The warning tells us to do what we already know we should be doing.  Stay in the Word, pray, seek the Lord's face.  The only real hiding place from a destroyer of worlds is the Creator.  The destroyer is coming, we would be wise to seek the hiding place (our Lord) now.

Rosh Hashanah 2012

Rosh Hashanah 2012 falls on September 16-18, 2012.

To brush up on the reasons why the Bride may be taken on Rosh Hashanah read here:
http://www.linkjesus.com/introtrumpets.htm

The events we see around us tell us the Lord may arrive for us at any moment.  Could this year be the year we are taken?  It's possible.  Should we remain patient and faithful if this year is another observance year and not a fulfillment year?  Yes.

Our job is not easy.  We must be ready to go and ready to stay-indefinitely.  The waiting will test many souls.  The Lord has never spoken to this servant about times or days.  If there is anything this brother is impressed with today it is the need to remain patient and not give up hope.

I pray that we will leave this sick world soon.  I also pray that the Lord will give us abundant strength and endurance and faith and patience to wait for that blessed day of escape should He tarry.

Patience

James 57Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. 8You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. 9Don’t grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!

10Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

Rev 310Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.


As we see events accelerating around us it is more important than ever to practice patience.  How do you 'practice' patience?  Being patient is a decision you make, it is a matter of your will.  We tell ourselves "I will be patient."  We command ourselves.  Tied into our patience is giving thanks.  This cannot be overemphasized.

The Lord does not handle grumblers and complainers well.  Read what happened to the Israelites  who came out of Eqypt then began complaining in the desert.  It did not end up well for them.  The purpose of this post is to encourage you to be patient, also remember to give thanks at all times for all things.

Ephesians 5:20 always giving thanks to God the Father for ...

... And give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus ... giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our ...

We have no idea how much time we have left here before things turn upside down.  The signs are all around us that the time might be close, but that is when it is the hardest to remain patient.  We can sense that the race is almost finished and we would like to enter the ark and call the race finished, but we cannot.  The Lord alone declares the end from the beginning and we must be obedient soldiers in His service.

We can encourage ourselves with the hope that the Lord will come for us soon.  We can also be thankful while we wait with great patience.  The trap set for people in these days has everything to do with time and patience.  Why did the Lord counsel us directly about patience in this last days?  He knows what we need and when we need it.  The enemy plan is to send disinformation in order to excite the people into a false sense of expectation, then to dash their expectations against the rocks over and over and over again until they shake loose of what they have been holding onto (their faith).  This includes all the satanic symbology on the 2012 olympics, the 2012 hype and everything else.

We must completely trash every signal sent out by the hands of men.  Who cares what the enemy plans are?  They can do what they are allowed to do and no more.  They are being restrained:

2 Thess 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.

Patience is not easy, I know.  But patience is the very thing we have been commanded to and we must embrace it as part of our duty as soldiers under the Almighty's command.

The Lord could come back for us in the next hour, or we could be waiting for years.  We must be prepared for either.  Keep the faith.

Grace and peace be unto you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
