M7.0 Kuril Islands, Revelation 6, The Escape

Another very large quake struck today.

link here.

It is showing as a 6.9 but since all of the earthquake data appears to be getting shaved down we'll round it back up to where it probably was before being downgraded.

We have not even made it to March yet and we've had an 8.0 and at least 3 M 7+ quakes.  What does that mean?  March/April should see a monster.  Why we look at this is the world is heading headlong toward the pole shift event of Revelation 6 where this happens:

Rev 6:12I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

This is describing a magnetic and physical pole shift.  We have verifiable scientific evidence that even now the magnetosphere is degrading and headed toward a pole shift.  The historic record of the earth has shown us what happens just before a magnetic pole shift and those precise things are happening now.  So what?  So the Lord told us it would happen and it is in the process of happening.  That means the Word of God is again batting 1000%.

It also means time is short.  If the pole shift is already in progress that means the clock is ticking on our time here.  When the events of Rev 6:12-14 take place many many people will not survive it.  Should we worry?  Noah escaped the flood.  Was that 'escapist', yea and whose plan was it?  The Lord's.  Lot escaped the fiery destruction of Sodom, was that escapist?  Yea and whose plan was it?  The Lord's.  Is another escape promised?  Gee, I don't know lets find out:

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.”

Well, I guess there IS an escape coming.  Yes, I know people are coming out of the woodwork to tell us there is no escape.  I bet the same people scoffed at Noah and if they would have been warned they would have scoffed at Lot as well.  This writer could care less what men have to say about the escape.  What men say means zero, what God says means everything.  If the Lord said there would be an escape you can bet the farm there is an escape.  I've heard all the arguments and seen all the denials and you know what?  If those people who argue till they are blue in the face feel  they must go through the tribulation, then maybe THEY MUST.

Not everyone has the same faith.  Some have the faith to move mountains and others couldn't move an anthill.  What did the Lord say and what does your faith say?  Do not be deceived, what you believe does matter...


Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! It will be done just as you believed
it would.
" And his servant was healed at that very hour.


The enemy comes to kill, STEAL, and destroy.  If he can steal your faith, he can steal everything.  The Lord works through men to build His kingdom and the enemy works through men to kill, steal and destroy.  Perhaps all the argumentative scoffers need to go through the tribulation, who am I to argue with them?  But who are they to judge our faith?  Are they the Almighty that they would know what is stored up in our hearts and spirits?

I can say this, when the escape happens and many are left behind because of their unbelief they will be wiped out emotionally and spiritually.  They ask us what happens if the escape/rapture does not happen pre-trib and I ask them what happens to them when it does!  Will it destroy their faith when the pre-trib rapture escape happens and they do not participate in it due to their lack of faith/belief?  What then?  How will they feel about that when they know they missed it?

Truly these are vexing questions for those who attack us day and night.  They do not answer because they cannot answer without demolishing their own arguments.  The wise virgins were found watching and ready when the Bridegroom came.  The foolish virgins were shut out.  Surely the foolish virgins looked over at the wise and questioned what all their oil was for?  "Why have it, He cannot show up today!" because of doctrines x,y and z, right?  Wrong.  The price for being caught unprepared is being shut out.  Its not "see you on the way up" or "see you later" they were shut out.  What did the Lord say?


Matt 25:11“Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us!’
12“But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’
13“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.


I don't know you?  Seems like a steep price to pay for not watching and being ready doesn't it?  But brother D does not make the rules, the Lord does.  The Lord said "away from me I never knew you" not brother D.  The Lord shut the door in their face, not brother D.  There will be a serious price to pay for those who are not ready.  How can we go wrong by keeping ourselves ready for the Lord at all times?  You cannot, i repeat CANNOT go wrong.  The Lord said to do it but men would rather argue.  All will be settled in time.

Let us be found as wise virgins and faithful servants when the Lord reveals Himself.  That means be watching and ready at all times.  That means now.

grace and peace

Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get More Interesting. Abomination/Obama (the bath water is getting hot)

So in addition to Obama visiting Israel 6 days before Passover like Jesus did, and a new pope being elected in March, and our mega-quake window landing smack in the middle, with 100,000 ton 'meteorites' pounding the earth, now we learn...get this:  an image of Obama made out of ice is to be erected in the immediate vicinity of Mt Zion in Jerusalem..  Are you kidding me?  No kidding

article here.

excerpt here "They will also be taken to an Israel Museum's exhibition about King Herod and to the Ice City, where they will see a custom built ice sculptor in Obama's image." 

Mark 13:14 "When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong--let the reader understand--then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.


"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination
that causes desolation is set up
, there will be 1,290 days


Do I think this is the abomination that causes desolation?  No.  Do I think I have 100% mental lock on every verse of scripture in the book of Revelation/Daniel etc?  Not even remotely.  Since this writer knows how much he does not know, it would be wise to be alert.

Obama-nation/abomination..in Israel, 6 days before the passover, setting up an image of him at/near Mt Zion?  If you knew nothing else that should be enough to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck.  Think we are getting close?

I believe this is "them" shaking their fist in the Lord's face.  It is an open taunt.  The fact is they are setting up an image of an anti-Christ (Obama) in Jerusalem.  Obama may or may not be "the" AC, but he is certainly "an" anti-Christ.  What does the Lord say?

1 John 2:18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

The abomination that causes desolation will be setup after Jerusalem has been surrounded by armies.  Unless the armies show up soon, this is just a taunt.

Luke 21:20When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near21Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

grace and peace

A Lesson From the Lord

The Lord reminded me of something obvious today.  It is obvious and I needed this piece of information but for whatever reason I was overlooking it.  Perhaps it is because in the midst of spiritual struggle (like I am in right now) things can easily be overlooked.

Anyway here it is:

A fully loaded truck uses more gas than an empty one.  No brainer right?
A person who is doing heavy physical activity 20 hours per day burns more calories than a couch potato.  Obviously.

and the lesson:

A person who is "burning faith" like a person would burn calories needs more spiritual food.  When you really need something from the Lord, when you are engaging every ounce of faith you have to see something happen you need more spiritual food than someone who isn't really engaging their faith for something.  Work requires energy, its that simple.  Spiritual work requires spiritual energy. What did the Lord teach us about this that applies?


Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"



There it is, the Lord equates the physical food we eat to the Word of God (spiritual food).  It takes faith to get things done on earth and in heaven.  This servant is like a fully loaded truck going uphill, believing for the Lord to provide for a certain situation.  I need to refuel more often with the Word of God, thats it.

Simple, but powerful as an atom bomb.  This is a teaching I needed today and the Lord delivered it.  All glory and honor be unto the Lord our God who provides for His servants.

Please, if you have a moment to pray a 3 second prayer for me and my family right now I would appreciate it.  The Lord will provide, I am certain of it.  It please Him to see us praying for each other.

grace and peace

M6.1 Argentina

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000fbl2#summary

So the large earthquakes keep coming in diverse places while other earth related news like giant sinkholes in Arizona and snow is Tucson Arizona tell us things are far from usual.

We are seeing record events or never seen before events on a daily basis and most people have been so asleep they barely notice.  The Lord has places a giant neon circle around the spring of each year with His sign: the mega-quake.  How big and where will the mega-quake be this year?  We do not know but we can be sure of this, the Lord does everything for a reason.

With the leading figure for anti-Christ (Obama) in Israel for the first time as president this March  and a new pope (false prophet) being selected this March things could be moving faster than we understand.  In one day the walls will come crashing down.  We will go from business as usual to all hell breaks loose in one day.  9/11 was a small sample of this kind of day.  The day the stock market crashed in 2009 was another small example.  How did the Lord explain it?


Luke 17:26“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.



What were people doing?  How does the Lord explain the days?  Does He paint a picture of tribulation?  NO.  Read His Word for yourself:

27People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark.

Do you see death, famine, persecution and destruction there ^^?  I don't.  So instead of offering our opinion we should take the Lord at His Word.  Is today a day of eating, drinking, marrying and giving in marriage?  Yep.  It is becoming more difficult but the words still fit a day like today.

What does this mean?  Sudden destruction in one day means we must be ready to meet the Lord every day.  We can escape out, rapture out, die out, who knows?  The Lord told us to be watching and ready for HIM every day.  People like to muddy the water so they can tell you not to be ready with arguments about the second coming or the rapture.  "Jesus cannot show up today because of x,y or z" they tell us.  They will certainly be proven wrong.  And what happens to those who die out first?  That happens every day, should they be ready to meet the Lord?  I would say so.

Bottom line?  We cannot go wrong, ever, by being ready to meet the Lord each and every day whether that means He comes to us or we go to Him.  That's it.

On a different note

I am going through a time of testing right now.  I told you my prayers are always answered right?  Well, right now I am being tested again.  The enemy likes to whisper in our ear "will He really answer you again this time."  I had one of the most dramatic attacks on my spiritual man ever over the past week or two.  It felt like my faith was grabbed and taken to the bottom of a lake to be drug through the mud.  I have never experienced anything like it.  The Lord has always always always come through for me, and now I am waiting on Him again.  If He does not answer me I will be in trouble, but am I worried?  Not at all.  Why?  A 100% track record speaks for itself.

The Lord never ever lets me down.  What the Lord does do is make me wait.  My experience with Him is He likes to provide what I need at the very last second.  He knows what I need and when I need it.  He tests us/me with time.  Will I still believe and hold onto what I am asking for if He waits till the last second to answer?  That is the test.   It is easy and hard to pass this test.  The easy part is I have no where else to turn.  Where else can I go for help if the Lord does not come through for me?  Nowhere, I have nowhere to turn to only Him to rely on.  That makes it easy.  Believe or perish.  Hold onto your faith and persevere in asking, seeking, knocking or suffer loss.  The waiting is the difficult part.  I ask the Lord "please can you answer me today" and He does not, He makes me wait.  He calls this our fiery trial


... Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to
test you, as though something strange were happening to you. 


Fiery trials are usually not pleasant, agreed?  I am in the midst of one right now.  I hurt inside, the pressure on my spirit man is real but at the same time I have been given strength and joy and wisdom to cope.  On the other side of this trial will be another testimony...that is, the Lord came through for me again just like He always has.  The long line of past victories in prayer help a little bit.  Knowing that the Lord has always answered my prayers helps a little bit but it does not ease all of the fiery trial.  We have to endure and persevere.  We have to ask, seek and knock.  We have to remember the story of the unjust judge.


Luke 18:1Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. 2He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. 3And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’
4“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care about men, 5yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually wear me out with her coming!’”
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?”

When i say my prayers are always answered I am talking about the big things.  I ask the Lord every day to give me what I have been asking for over months and to date in this case He has not provided.  He has not answered..yet, but I know with 100% certainty He will.  When?  Usually at the last possible second.  Why?  To try our faith over and over again.  Is that what the Word says? Yep:

1 peter 1:3Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, 5who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 6In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed

I want to encourage you today as I encourage myself in Christ.  Stay in the Word.  Take one day, each hour even each minute at a time and forget about tomorrow.  Each day has its own troubles and triumphs.  Each morning brings new promise that the Lord will provide for you.  Yes, He makes us wait but one day the waiting stops and He gives us what we ask for.  My testimony is this: the Lord is faithful, He can be trusted, He will provide.  Believe you have received what you ask for in prayer, do not be double minded.  Be patient, stand through the fiery trial and you will shout in victory on the other side when the Lord comes through for you.

The Word is full of encouragement, especially the Psalms so start there if you do not know where to go.  The powers of darkness sucker punched me this week but the Lord quickly tended to my wounds.  We sometimes get knocked down, we have to get right back up.  This is war.  The enemy gives no quarter and will have no mercy on those who give up.  The French Foreign Legion has a saying "march or die."  It is appropriate to our walk.  Believe and hold onto your faith or die. What are the options?  Throw ourselves at the 'mercy' of an anti-Christ world?  No thanks.

This is your brother in the fight wanting to encourage you as I am in my fight.  Don't give up.  The days grow dark, the attacks are getting serious but guess what?  We win this fight.  Its always darkest just before dawn.  The Lord will provide, just hold on even when your faith is being dragged through the mud of the darkest and deepst lake you could ever imagine, the Lord has not abandoned you.  His silence does not equate to His absence....remember "never will I leave you or forsake you?"  He said that.  He means that even when the enemy is whispering "where is your God now?  As he attacks you with everything he has.  Just hold on.  The Lord will provide, wait for it and you will see it and shout in victory.

grace and peace

Wormwood

We live in interesting times, thats for sure.  Since we rolled over the calendar into 2013 we've seen 1.  The resignation of the pope which means a new pope incoming, probably the false prophet.
2.  Lightning strikes the vatican the same day the pope announced his resignation
2.  Obama scheduled his first visit as president to Israel
3.  Earthquakes, earthquakes and more large earthquakes (2 more M6+ quakes today.)
4.  A Wormwood like strike to Russia.  The meteor struck with the force of 30 Hiroshima bombs, and guess what?  It struck with no warning.  If you look at the videos and pictures we have of this meteor strike it looks alot like this:

10The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11the name of the star is Wormwood.a A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

I also want you to notice where this star landed....in the water.

Am I saying this was wormwood?  Nope.  Could it be?  Yep.  Why speculate?  Because on the day wormwood does strike its going to be covered exactly like this "meteor" strike.  Do you think anyone is going to write or air a news story telling the world the Bible is true?  No way.  Do you think the news will give credit to God and call wormwood by its rightful name?  No way.  So what will happen is a large space rock that looks like a blazing torch will fall from the sky on a third of the rivers and the springs of water and nobody will bat an eye as the events of Revelation march forward.

How exactly will a blazing star fall on a third of the rivers and the springs of water?  We do not know but this 'meteor' landed in a lake and they can find no traces of it!  Strange?  Yea.  So what would happen is something exactly like this, then people would begin to get sick and die...many people- A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

Notice how fast things are happening, the earthquakes the pope news the blazing star falling to earth, the Obama trip and I almost forgot economic Armageddon in the US all stacked on top of each other.  Its all happening at the same time and all really close to the spring season that the Lord has highlighted for us with His sign: megaquakes.

The economic armageddon for the US is the debt ceiling limit/annual budget/sequestration battle that begins coming home to roost on 3/1/2013.  We do not know what will happen but if the crooks in con-gress let sequestration happen the ripple effect into the economy will be more like a shock wave that leaves a trail of destruction in its path.  Is it just a coincidence that DHS has been ordering hundreds of millions of bullets over the past few months while the A(O)bomanation takes guns away from the American people?  I'm sure its just a crazy coincidence...And again this is happening right now, coming to a head in the spring season.

I cannot predict events but I can see what is happening right in front of our eyes.  What it means is also a toss up but if the Bible says something is going to happen and we read the news and see a bullseye match for it we should begin to wonder, "did we just witness Revelation 8-wormwood?"  Maybe we did maybe we didn't just be aware.  The real point is this, when we see all these things happening, we should lift our heads and look up for our redemption draws nigh.  We must be ready and watching when the Lord arrives for us unnanounced.  Only a fool would tell you the Lord God Almighty, all powerful, all knowing cannot do something He said He would do...He told us there is an escape from all and we should pray for it.  If they dont want to do that well shame on them.  Let us be wise virgins and not foolish.  Let us do what we were told to do.  When the Lord arrives, whenever that is it does not matter, we should be found watching and ready.

The Lord told us He is the Bridegroom and we are the Bride.  We know how that works.  The Bridegroom goes to prepare a place for us then comes back for the Bride unnanounced.  Is that 'in secret?'  You bet it is.  If the Lord told us He would come back at a time we do not expect, did He really mean it?  Yea.  So while others tell us the Lord cannot come back until somewhere down the road, we are standing ready, watching today like faithful obedient servants.  While the other servants mock us, their time is running out.  They tell us we will not be ready for the tribulation if we watch and expect the Lord to come back any day.  I tell them they will not be ready for the tribulation regardless of when the Lord comes back.  Nobody on earth can even fathom how bad the tribulation will be.  Preparing for the tribulation is like asking someone to kick you between the legs, then hit you over the head with a shovel so you can 'get ready for it' later.  Brilliant.  Oh yea, and by the way show me in the Bible where the Lord told us to prepare for the tribulation?  That's right! Its not in there!  Oops!

We would be wise to do what the Lord did command us to do: be watching and ready for His return.  And not concern ourselves with what He did not command us to do: prepare for the tribulation.  For those who do end up in the tribulation, the same source of support and supply we had before the tribulation (Jesus Christ) will be the same source in the tribulation.  Without Him, who has anything?  Without Him how can anyone stand while hell walks the earth?

I am 100% sure about this:  we will NEVER be ashamed in the Lord's presence for watching and being ready for His return every day.  What does the Word say?

 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.”

What does "always" mean?  Does always mean at mid-tribulation?  Does always mean at the end of the tribulation?  Does always mean some other time in the future?  What part of "always" do the scoffers and critics and shills not understand?


Definition of ALWAYS

1
: at all times : invariably <always smiling>
2
: forever always
>
3
: at any rate : in any event always
 try again>


Be ALWAYS on the watch.  Period.  Court Adjourned, end of argument.  Always on the watch means right now.

grace and peace

Meteor Hits Russia?


link here.

First, where was the warning that this thing was going to hit?  What does that tell us?  No warning was issued and no warning will be issued.  The only time you do hear something from the media is when they tell you "dont worry be happy go back to sleep."  That is their one and only message.

There is also an asteroid that passes the earth today so close it will come in between the earth and our satellites.  They tell us there is 0% chance of it hitting earth, but can we trust anything they say when Russia gets drilled this morning with no warning?

What's the big deal with these meteorites/asteroids?  First of all look at the timing, we are on the leading edge of the spring/mega-quake window.  Second, the destroyer that is coming in to earth's close proximity has to pass through the asteroid belt to get close to the earth.  As the destroyer passes through the asteroid belt it acts like a cue ball on a billiard table, knocking space rocks out of   its way and sometimes directly towards the earth.  The increase in space rock activity around the earth is another piece of verifiable objective evidence that the destroyer is inbound and close.

To all the skeptics who deny and redirect discussions about the destroyers with useless arguments, I would point them toward Revelation 8:


6Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them.
7The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
8The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11the name of the star is Wormwood.a A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
12The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
13As I watched, I heard an eagle that was 


The skeptics tell us our science is so good today that no destroyer could possibly be inbound to the earth and close or we would know about it.  Really?  Todays activity in Russia was very telling.  the earth was struck from above and there was NO WARNING.  The same skeptics and shills that deny there is a destroyer also deny this:  8The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea

Surely if it was out there they would see it and warn us right?  Wrong.  And what about this?  10The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11the name of the star is Wormwood.

Has anyone in the media warned us of the approach of Wormwood?  If not, why not?  Surely they would be able to see it coming because they are all so wise, right?  All the technology and millions of amateur astronomers would surely detect it and warn us right?  Wrong, again.

So, either God is a liar or today's so called astronomers are clueless.  Read through Revelation 8, all of the destruction you see there comes from above and falls down upon the earth.  The prostitute press/media will not warn you.  The government will not warn you.  The Lord has already warned you but who is listening?  We have our Bibles and we have the events occurring all around us that scream to us to get ready and all we hear from the world is "go back to sleep."

We are being warned right now.  Fiery rocks falling from the sky and causing destruction on the earth are a sign of what is to come.  Read through verses Rev 8:6-13 above and watch whats happening to the world today.

Soon enough this will happen 7The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down upon the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

A third of the earth will be burned up and they will still be in denial.  They will call it "global warming" or some other form of ridiculous lie.  A third of the earth burned up?  Warming?  Yea, but thats a tad understated wouldn't you say?  Be watching and ready.  The Lord can and will arive unnanounced.  The foolish virgins (Matt 25) don't bother to watch today because their doctrine tells them the Bridegroom cannot arrive without x,y, or z happening first.  Do not be a foolish virgin.

grace and peace.

Large Quake: M6.9 Russia

link

We have seen an extraordinary number of M 7 or stronger quakes over the past two weeks.  What does this tell us?  March and April-our mega-quake window-could see a real monster.  Again, why bother mentioning this over and over?  The Lord uses these quakes as an attention getter.  What is the point of writing the book of Revelation?  Getting man's attention and to settle the score.

Do we see earthquakes in the book of Revelation?

Rev 6:12I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, 13and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. 14The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

I guess so....We can see proof positive ^^ that earthquakes are a tool the Lord uses to get our attention.  The pattern of quakes we see year after year are spring and fall with mega-quakes in the spring.  That means alot of attention should be paid to the spring season.  What's happening this spring?

1.  A new pope-the false prophet-will be selected

2.  U.S./Babylon's economic dismantling (sequester/budget approval/debt ceiling fights)

3.  Obama, our leading candidate for anti-christ will visit Israel for the first time as president exactly six days before passover just like Jesus did (March 20 this year)

John 12:1Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3Then Mary took about a pinta of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

4.  Mega-quake per the established pattern we have seen for years.

And who knows what else is on the plate for this spring that we don't know about?  The point is to be ready to meet the Lord at any time.  We were commanded to be watching and ready for the Lord to show up at any time.  The Lord placed no restrictions on Himself in the Word that would prohibit Him from showing up at any moment.  He is not constrained by the 'second coming' or the rapture or by any other event listed in scripture.  He is God Almighty and He can do what He chooses to do, when He chooses to do it.

If we were told to watch for Him and be ready for Him and people choose not to do that because of their doctrine or theology then shame on them.  There is no way, absolutely NO WAY you can go wrong by daily watching and readiness for the Lord's return.  Some day, and we do not know the day or hour, HE WILL RETURN FOR US and on that day we must be found as faithful servants doing what He told us to do:


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 alertf! You do not know when that time will come34It’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!’”


Do you see any caveats in there ^^ for the tribulation or the rapture or for any other event in scripture?  I don't.  What I see is a clear command to obey:  WATCH....period.  How much more plain could the Lord say it?  But many would rather argue and debate all day about why we should not do (watch) what we were told to do today and every day.

Anything that hinders people from obeying the clear commands in scripture should be thrown out the window.  That would be the 'pre-wrath' and post-trib teaching and doctrine for many.  They get so caught up in their beliefs they ignore the simple indisputable commands given to us.  There is much about prophesy and Revelation I do not understand.  Because of how much I do not understand much more weight is placed on what I do understand and am sure of.

I am not 100% sure of what is going to happen on what days ahead of us, but I am 100% rock solid certain that I should be watching and ready for the Lord's return at any time.  Would would be wise to keep watch because we do not know when the owner of the house will come back.  If He comes back suddenly do not let him find you sleeping.  <--the lord="" mine.="" not="" p="" s="" word="">

A Big Neon Sign Around the Spring

An article was written here not too long ago that discussed how the Lord has used earthquakes to draw a large neon sign around the spring and fall of each year.  Every spring we get a mega-quake (Chile 8.8 2010, Japan 9.0 2011, Pacific twin 8.6 and 8.4 2012) and every fall we get big ones.  Is the Lord trying to draw our attention to something?  Time will tell but lets look at how spring 2013 is shaping up:

We've had an M 8.0 and two M 7+ quakes in the first weeks of February that tend to indicate the spring monster will truly be a monster.  We have the U.S. budget armageddon battle waiting (sequestration, debt ceiling, annual budget)-they can't agree on anything.  Someone just placed an 11 million dollar bet (put option) against the entire U.S. economy that has time constraints over the next 60 or so days.  And last but certainly not least we will have a new pope elected next month.

What makes this new pope special?  Only two? three? other times in history has a pope stepped down while still alive.  This time during this strange change we also happen to have one of the most anti-Christ presidents in U.S. history in office.  Not only is Barak Hussein Obama in office as the most anti-Christ president ever, but he has come out of the closet in big ways recently 1. over gay rights/legalization 2. gun control in the U.S. and 3. a promise for his second term that now 'the gloves come off' toward all those who have opposed him.

The script that is taking shape before our eyes outshines the best Hollywood movies.  What the Bible said would happen, is happening right now.  As we watch these things unfold let us remember the signs in the heavens the Lord told us about.  We were told to look up when all these things begin to happen.  Above our heads over the next two years (2014-2015) we have major signs in the heavens.  Remember those solar and lunar eclipses that fall on the Lord's feast days? I know its hard to believe but we are almost two months into 2013 already!  My how the time flies.  Do you realize that the solar and lunar eclipses in 2014-2015 are in the spring and fall?  There is a reason the Lord has been punctuating those seasons with mega-quakes...

Do I know what is going to happen?  No, each day that goes by leaves me slightly more bewildered than the last.  There seems to be more that I don't know than what I do know but I do know this:  we were told to be watching and ready to meet the Lord at any moment.  There is NOTHING written in the Bible that says the Lord cannot come and go to this earth as often as He feels like it.  If the Lord told us to be watching and ready to meet Him we better take it seriously.  Those people (especially the pre-wrath and post-trib rapture crowd) who teach that the Lord cannot come back today for whatever reason might be very sorry for their teaching.  

People get so focused on their pet doctrines and dogmas that they do not see the forest as they stare at the trees.  If the Lord said to pray for escape (Luke 21:36) you don't have to figure out whether its the rapture or not.  You don't have to figure out whether there is an escape or not.  All you have to do is what you were told to do, period.  The Lord did not instruct us with nonsense.  If He said it, He meant it.  Ask your post-trib or pre-wrath friends which verse of scripture prohibits the Lord from entering earth's atmosphere before the 'second coming' or mid-point or end of the tribulation whenever He feels like it and then we'll discuss how we can't escape from all like the Lord said we would in Luke 21:36.

The Lord can appear on earth every day from now till Armageddon and not a single letter of scripture would need to be changed.  Who are these people who put God Almighty in a box with their teachings and doctrine?  I can tell you who and what they are:  wrong.

M7.0 Columbia

link here.

Things are getting real guys, this is an M8 and two 7.0 quakes in 3 days.  Columbia is nowhere near Sumatra, so diverse places would summarize this nicely.

Mark 13:8 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.

Birth pains lead to birth.  Looks like we are almost there.

M6.9 and M7.0 Santa Cruz Islands

link.

link.

The quakes are coming like a train now.  We haven't even made it to prime time yet.

I have to wonder what this spring has in store.  The Lord has a day in store for all the proud and arrogant.  "They" are prepping for that day.  If you are wondering what DHS needs 2 BILLION rounds of ammunition for (they just ordered more), its that day.  There will be no warning when it arrives.

The lesson for us in all of this is to be ready in season and out of season because we do not know the day or hour of our Lord's arrival.  Yes, He can show up whenever and wherever He chooses to without the approval of the 'pre-wrath' and 'post-trib' teachers and preachers.  We know in the rapture the Lord descends to the clouds and calls up those belonging to Him.  We also know there is the 'second coming' where the Lord comes to earth and plants His feet on the mount of olives.  We also know there is an escape from all in Luke 21:36.  We also know there is something that will happen to 'keep' believers from the hour of trial thats going to come upon all those living on the earth (Rev 3:10).  How do we know that Luke 21:36 escape is the same as the 'being kept' event in Rev 3:10?  How do we know that either of those is = the rapture?  What am I saying?  The Lord could come back during the rapture (1), during the escape from all (2), to "keep" believers from the hour of trial (3), and the second coming (4) and those are just the obvious places He could come back for us.

Does the Lord have to tell us at all when He is coming back to show up at our door?  No, He does not.  In fact, does the Bridegroom give the Bride any warning of His approach on the night He comes for her?  No, He just shows up and she has to be ready.

What's the point?  The pre-wrath and post-trib crowd have painted the Lord into a box when they tell us "He can't come back yet because of x,y, and z."  They will be put to shame if He arrives and they are not ready to meet Him.  Can they possibly be ready when they actively teach others not to watch and be ready for His imminent arrival?

The other tribbers accuse us of not being ready for the tribulation and I accuse them of not being ready for the Lord's return for the Bride.  The Lord NEVER TOLD US to "be ready" for the tribulation, so we are off the hook.  He did however emphatically and repeatedly warn us to be ready for His unannounced return.  Trying to prepare for the tribulation is like trying to prepare for a kick between the legs.  Go ahead and brace yourself if you want to but you will never really be ready for it.  We would be better served doing what the Lord did tell us to do instead of wearing ourselves out doing something He never asked us to do.

Russia: 4 Volcanoes Erupt At The Same Time

link here.

This kind of activity is unprecedented.  The 4 volcanoes are fed by different lava flows yet all erupted together.  What does this mean?  well, along with the M8 mega-quake we just saw yesterday it means we are seeing record setting earth and weather activity on a daily basis.  The lesson here is that business as usual is out the door permanently.  We are in uncharted territory moving onto dangerous ground.

Where are all these events pointed?  At the book of Revelation.  God, the Lord will get man's attention one way or another.  Man has denied Him and ignored Him for a long long time.  They do what they want and act as if there is no Creator.  Well, that time has come and gone and now its settlement time.  The Lord will get man's attention one way or another and most will curse Him for it.

Rev 9:20The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.

So, what is happening here ^^ is the Lord is kicking the daylights out of mankind and they refuse to give up their sin.  We are in the early phases of this now.  The economy is teetering on the very edge of collapse and when it does collapse times will get very dark.  What will men do?  There is only one refuse, one escape, and one hiding place in a time of worldwide destruction and His name is the Creator.

If we are in Christ, why should we fear?  The same God who has taken care of us every day right through today will continue to do so.  That is called faith, hope, love and trust.  We believe in Him, our hope is in Him, we love Him and trust Him.  Apart from Him what do we have?  Nothing.

The weather events continue to get more extreme, we know that.  What we do not know is what will hit where.  This uncertainty should drive us even deeper into our hiding place which is Christ Jesus.

You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs
of deliverance.

... You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word.

In the shelter of your presence you hide them from the intrigues of men;
in your dwelling you keep them safe from accusing tongues.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty

I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your
wings.

You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in his distress,
shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat.

Do you think the Lord was trying to make a point with all these scriptures?  I do.  He said it, He meant it.  He really is a shelter.  He really is a hiding place.  

With all the signs around us we should be watching and ready to meet the Lord.  We were told in Luke 21:36 that there is an escape from all and we should pray for it.  The Lord brought to my attention the other day that the escape in Luke 21:36 does not have to be the rapture.  The Lord could provide 100 escapes if He wants to or He could provide 1 or 2, whatever.  He is GOD, remember?  So all the arguing and debating about the rapture is a moot point.  The escape may be the pre-tribulation rapture.  The escape may be something else.  The point here is who is man to box in the Lord to what He can and cannot do?

The elders from every nation, tongue and tribe on earth are in heaven as redeemed and rewarded men in Revelation 5.  Every nation, tongue etc adds up to thousands, so how did they get there?  There is an escape from all in Luke 21:36, thats a fact.  And with the purpose of putting an iron trap over the mouths of the endless debaters, let us separate for a moment from the rapture and take it for what it is.  Luke 21:36 sounds alot like the rapture but it does not have to be.  What we know for a fact is it is an ESCAPE from ALL.  And we are to pray for it....Call it what you want but we can call it what the Lord called it, an escape.

If the Lord said it, He meant it.  What if the escape from all is not the rapture?  What if it is its own unique event?  Is that possible?  You bet it is.  If this is possible then the arguments of the debaters and haters of the pre-tribulation rapture go flying out the window.  Since all we know of Luke 21:36 is it is 1.  an escape and 2. from all, we have to take those Words at face value.  

The elders got into heaven in Rev 5 somehow and they are already rewarded and redeemed.  Lot escaped all the fire in Sodom.  Noah escaped all the flood.  It is time we took the Lord at His Word.  If the escape of Luke 21:36 is not the rapture but it is an escape from all, which is exactly what the Word says, then what argument do the endless debaters have now?  Truly the face vexing problems with this they cannot overcome.

keep the faith, grace and peace

Magnitude 8-Major Earthquake Strikes South Pacific

link here and here.

A magnitude 8 earthquake is a biggie and its a tad early.  If we are getting quakes this large this early I wonder whats in store for the days ahead.  This quake and the mega-quakes to follow were expected and predicted last year.  Why?  The same things happen year after year.  Its the same pattern over and over again.  Question is, why?  Its not the sun, its not global warming, its not any of the other distractions given to us to explain what is happening to the earth.  It is the destroyer.  It is a destroyer and it is coming this way.

Dont take my word for it, look it up in the book of Revelation.  What do you read about in Rev 6,7,8 etc.?  Destruction from above?  You got it.  Its as if someone is trying to get our attention isnt it?  Its as if someone is drawing a big red circle around the spring and fall seasons and saying WATCH.  And (He) emphasizes it with earth shaking to get people's attention.

If we had an 8.0 in early February I can only imagine whats in store for the days ahead.  Let us be paying attention, watching and ready this spring.  The Lord is highlighting the seasons for a reason.

grace and peace

We Are Getting Warmer....M6.9 Japan

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000f03a#summary

Here we go again.  As we move closer to spring the quakes uptick in strength and frequency.  This writer sounds like a broken record even to himself.  If this nobody has the pattern nailed, where are the geologists and news media analysts and government big wigs to take note of this pattern and explain the "why" behind the pattern?

The do not acknowledge it because people might start asking questions that would lead them to the truth.  The truth is, according to the bible destruction is coming from above.  Revelation 8 tells us about the trumpet judgments that come down on the earth from up above our heads.

Jesus said 'look up' when all these things begin to happen.  He really meant it, look up!  What is going on up there is affecting down here.  This spring we will have another mega earthquake somewhere in the world.  How can we be sure?  The past 3 years have seen 9.0 or real close to that quakes in Chile, Japan, and in the Pacific ocean.  Last year we had twin mega-quakes and most people didnt blink an eye at it because they didnt cause massive loss of life.  What will we see this year?  Only the Lord knows.

Why discuss any of this?  These signs precede the coming of the Lord.  We were told to watch and be ready.  For what?  FOR THE LORD.  I know, the other tribbers have call us nuts for obeying the bible as it literally tells us what to do.  "He can't arrive now!" they tell us so they dont bother to watch.  And they say that we will be the ones unprepared for the future?

Some guy just wrote a new book called something like "after the tribulation" where he rehashes the same tired arguments for the post-trib rapture.  I usually dont bother debunking the post-trib position because it sinks itself with one question.  Which question?  If all the believers are raptured at the end of the tribulation and all the wicked are taken away to judgement/punishment, who enters the millennium here on earth?  There would be nobody left on earth!! Nobody!  The post-trib rapture position is dead on arrival.  This doesn't even get into believers suffering under the wrath of God or any of the other massive holes in their argument.

The Lord told us to be watching and ready for Him ALWAYS.  Forget about the rapture and the second coming for a moment.  With as much mystery written into the book of Revelation as there is, what are the chances that each and every one of us has missed large points the Lord has made in that book that we just aren't understanding?  Unless a person has 100% confidence that they have absolutely nailed the interpretation of the entire book of Revelation they better have a back up plan.  What back up plan? Its called obedience to the literal Word as it was written and can be understood by a child.  The Master told us to watch.  When.  He didn't say when so what does that mean?  NOW.  The Master told us to be ready.  For what?  His arrival.  For those people out there who argue that they dont have to watch or be ready right now, well, Lord have mercy on them.

The coming of the Son of man will be just like the days of Noah and Lot.  Lot had the scriptures right?  Did he know which day the angels were going to show up and escort him out of Sodom?  Nope.  Noah knew a flood was coming but did he know when the Lord would cause it to start raining and order him into the ark?  Nope.

So here's a question thats going to gash a hole along the entire waterline of the pre-wrath and post-trib arguments.  Is it possible for the Lord to come down to the earth whenever He feels like it anytime, anyplace and knock on our door?  You bet He can.  Does the Lord owe any "pre-wrath" or "post-trib" believer any explanation whatsoever for His unannounced visit?  Nope, He doesn't owe them a thing.  We were told to watch for the Lord's coming, period.  Not in a rapture setting, not in a "second coming" setting, we were told to watch for Him PERIOD.  Who are these men to box the Lord into their shortsighted, no insight, no understanding arguments.  Is the Lord limited by man's lack of understanding?  No.

The Lord talks about a wedding in the New Testament and He is the bridegroom.  We know how the Jewish wedding tradition plays out.  The Bridegroom comes for the bride unannounced.  Does the coming of the Bridegroom have to be the rapture?  Does it have to be the 'second coming?'   The Lord said there is an escape from all and we should pray to be counted worthy of it (Luke 21:26).  The command is not good enough for many Christians today.  The promise of escape is not good enough either.  They want to argue with the Lord over a thousand different reasons they have to stay here while hell on earth is playing itself out.  Perhaps the Lord will give them what they preach and teach and expect.  We know there will be believers in the tribulation, question is which believers?  We also know there are redeemed rewarded believers in heaven BEFORE the seals are opened in Revelation 6.  The elders in heaven in Rev 5 are from every nation on earth, so thats certainly more than a handful.

If there are rewarded, redeemed men in heaven in Revelation 5 how did they get there?  Maybe it was the rapture maybe it wasnt but what does it matter the believers ARE THERE IN HEAVEN, how did they get there?  Truly this is a vexing question for those who argue against the escape.  Would you say that redeemed rewarded believers in heaven in Revelation 5 before the hellish events of Rev 6 on take place would constitute an 'escape from all?'  I would.  Did Noah escape 100% of the flood?  Yep.  Did Lot escape 100% of the fiery punishment that fell on Sodom?  Yep.  Do we have to reach to get to these conclusions or would it be obvious to a five year old?

The Lord does not lack understanding, men do.  The more I watch the events unfolding around me the less I think I understand about the timing of the events of Revelation.  That leads me to the conclusion that I better do the things I know for a fact I understand, like watching and being ready for the Lords return and praying that we may be counted worthy to escape all thats about to happen etc.  These things are not open for interpretation, they were commands given by the Lord in plain language.  All those who are so wise in their own eyes that they will not accept the Lord's statements like a little child would will likely be sorry for it, but I am not their judge.  Time will tell who the wise and foolish virgins are.
