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?

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