2 Days Till The Conclusion of the 40 Day Warning

Time is up at nightfall two days from now.  We have been warned and this writer sees zero signs of national repentance from America.  In fact, the "great American eclipse" was forgotten by most the hour it was over.  What happens in two days?  The doors close on the warning period and the doors open on the delivery period.  The best and most recent example of how this works was the lunar tetrad of 2014-2015 and what happened to the Middle East and Europe.  They have both been forever transformed (and the process is not complete).  What happened occurred over time, not on one day.  Another example: when Noah entered the ark on the 7th day, it began to rain and continued to rain for 40 days.  It didn't all take place on one day.

Is that it brother D, just brace for judgement?  No, what is coming after 9/30/17 serves the same purpose that has been established for thousands of years:

1 Tim 2:1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 

Nobody knows exactly what the Lord has in store for the days ahead.  What we do know with certainty is:  1.  The United States was specifically marked/warned on 8/21/17.  2.  There is a time associated with that warning which ends on Yom Kippur.  The time given was 40 days which the Lord has used countless times as a time of trial and testing.

Whatever ends up happening to America, we can be sure it will be toward some prophetic fulfillment for Israel.  When America is taken out of the way, the end game for Israel begins.  The way things appear today, that time is not far off.

Prepared To Wait

When a Feast of Trumpets comes and goes and we see the Lord has decided to tarry, it is not time to go back to sleep.  There are at least two reasons for this:

1.  We have no idea how long He will tarry-When He told us no man knows the day or hour that can mean either the Feast of Trumpets or any other days of the year.  The Feast of Trumpets appears to be the most likely season for the Lord to come back for us but we also have to take the other possibility (any other day) just as seriously because either way His Word will be fulfilled precisely.

and

2.  Everything is a test-the Lord is constantly watching our hearts and minds to see how we respond to things.  Are we responding in faith and obedience or are we responding some other way:

Deut 8:2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

When the Lord tarries will we keep His command to continually watch?  Are we prepared to watch for another 20 or 30 or more Feast of Trumpets seasons without Him showing up and we continue to watch?  How long do we continue to watch?  As long as it takes....We have to make up our minds beforehand that we are in this till the end, however long that takes.  We will not make the same mistake made by the foolish virgins:

Matt 25:1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

What was their mistake?  They had not prepared to wait.  The wise took oil with them.  There is one and only one reason behind this, they were prepared to wait....

While we wait we can be encouraged by the fact that the Lord is hard at work in this world setting the stage for what is to come.  The natural disasters are getting worse and more frequent.  People are ready to rip their neighbors head off for looking at them the wrong way.  There is a sovereign debt crisis (Mr. Martin Armstrong's work) that begins next year which will set the stage for the one world financial system.  And last but most certainly not least the Lord Himself has given us a multitude of signs signaling to us that time is short.  Make no mistake, the lunar tetrad on the Lord's feast days and this recent "great American eclipse" were signed and sealed by the Almighty.  This world has been transformed in the mere two years since the last of the blood moons in 2015.  The poster children for this transformation are Europe and the Middle East.

We will soon be able to add to the list of transformation the United States which has been singled out among the nations.  The United States and Israel are joined at the hip.  What is bad for one is bad for the other.  Israel should be shuddering at what is happening to the U.S.  When the United States is taken out of the way, this is next:

Luke 21:20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. 21Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. 22For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people. 24And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Even now the middle east is being transformed to accomplish this ^^ very purpose. 

Babylon is the west.  Specifically it is either America or the "new" transformed Europe or both.  Either way the judgement of this Babylonian system is coming:

18:4And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. 6Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

We have been warned and as it has been said here time and again we do not have to predict what is coming.  He already predicted everything.  Re-read Revelation 18 above, Babylon is going to burn...utterly.  Death, mourning and famine, in one day.  That's what is coming.  So, now is not a good time to go back to sleep.  Keep your oil full and your lamps trimmed for the Bridegroom IS coming and we must be watching and ready when He does.

40 and 7, The Lord's Stamps of Authenticity on The Great American Eclipse

The great American eclipse took place on 8/21/17.  40 days later is Yom Kippur.  7 years later is the next "great American eclipse.  See the numbers there?  40 and 7?  What has the Lord God told us?

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

As it was in the days of Noah huh?  Yep, the days of Noah.  And what happened in the days of Noah?  Lets take a look in Genesis seven and find out:

Gen 7:1The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. 2Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. 4Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”

Seven, seven, seven and forty.  What's the point brother d?  The point is, the Lord God marked the great American eclipse with His seal of authenticity so we can know without a doubt who sent us this sign.  This was not just another ordinary eclipse.  What else?  The direct tie in to the days of Noah.  We were told by the Lord (not man) that as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the days of the Son of man.  Well, what we are seeing is direct confirmation by the Almighty that He considers these days as the days of the Son of man. 

What is another take away from this ^^?  A not so small lesson for the mockers and scoffers.  The Lord told Noah that He would wipe every living creature from the face of the earth and it would begin in 7 days.  There is a parallel to our days that we need to see here.  What happened on day 7?  It started to rain, but to the mockers "nothing happened" right?  "We get rain all the time, nothing to see here!"  To the scoffer and mocker "nothing happened" on day 7, what was their mistake?  In their haste to mock, they missed the forest for the trees.  39 days after day 7 do you think anyone was mocking or scoffing?  No, because they were all dead....

America has been given a parallel warning (40/7).  40 is a time of trial and testing and America's days of trial and testing are almost up.  We are down to 7 days.  What happens at the end of the seven days?  To the eyes of a mocker "nothing."  Just like on the blood moon days of 2014-2015, "nothing" happened on those days but immediately after the last blood moon guess what happened?  The Islamic invasion of Europe began in earnest.  One could say "it started to rain" but in this case it was raining Islam instead of raining water.  What else happened?  The war in Syria kicked into high gear.  No we stand two years distant from the last blood moon on 2015 and we can say with certainty that the mockers and scoffers were certifiably mistaken.  Yea, something happened all right and that something is assuredly bad for Israel just as the blood moons testified to us.

Europe was already anti-Semitic before the Islamic invasion.  Now, with Islam being championed from every corner Europe, anti-Semitism will be on steroids.  What else is bad for Israel in this?  The combined military forces of Europe are formidable.  Now that the leaders of Europe (like Merkel) have shown that they are champions of Islam it is safe to say Europe's military is in the hands of Islam.  What else?  Hezbollah, Iran (the Medes) and Russia are all firmly entrenched in Syria, right on Israel's doorstep.  Hezbollah is even building missile factories now in Syria.  Who exactly was it the Lord says He would raise up as an adversary in these last days?

Isaiah 13:17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.

So the scoffers and mockers might want to give a little time and space before they begin mocking on Yom Kippur this year.  The Lord has delivered on every warning, without fail.  This one will be no different.  America needs to repent.  We need to get on our knees in obedience and do what we were told to do.  Every knee will bow, they can either do it now or they can do it later but they will do it.....

Isa 45:22“Turn to me and be saved,

all you ends of the earth;

for I am God, and there is no other.

23By myself I have sworn,

my mouth has uttered in all integrity

a word that will not be revoked:

Before me every knee will bow;

by me every tongue will swear.

24They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone

are deliverance and strength.’ ”

All who have raged against him

will come to him and be put to shame.

25But all the descendants of Israel

will find deliverance in the Lord

and will make their boast in him.

Phi 2:5Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

The Lord Did Not Rapture The Church on The Feast of Trumpets 2017

Those who predicted it as a definite event were wrong.  Equally wrong were those who said it absolutely would not happen.  Why were they wrong?  If the angels in heaven nor the Son knows the day or hour, how could they know it definitely would not happen?  Who was right?  Those who were watching and ready in obedience to the multiple commandments to watch-they were right to be watching.

Now what?  We continue to do what we were told to do:  watch and pray-always:

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Could the Lord arrive unexpectedly tomorrow?  Yes.  How about next week or next month?  Yep.  We should be cautioned about letting our guard down now, especially in light of the multiple warnings we have been given.  America has been given a 40 day warning which started on 8/21/17, the day of the "great American eclipse" and ends on Yom Kippur.  This world is being warned at the same time during this same warning period.  Natural disasters of every flavor are striking around the world on a daily basis.

What about the Revelation 12 sign on 9/23/17?  What does the Word say?

Rev 12:1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

There is a sign coming, and that sign is where?  In heaven.  That means up above our heads.  Where was the 8/21 great American eclipse sign?  Same place, up above our heads.  The good news?  These signs cannot be faked.  Is the 9/23/17 event the Revelation 12 sign?  This writer does not know, and because neither I, nor any other man know for sure, we need to take it seriously in case it is.  We are in a 40 day time of trial and testing that only the Lord knows the exact purpose of.

What happens at the end of the 40 days?  Most likely on that day nothing apparent to the human eye just as each of the blood moons on the feast days in 2014-2015 passed with scoffers and mockers claiming "nothing happened."  What is important is what happens (most likely) after Yom Kippur.  It doesn't take a prophet to look around at the world and compare what we see happening with the Word of God to know this world is in serious trouble. 

Repent, fast, pray, stay in the Word, or else....Or else what brother D?  Again, no predictions from man are necessary.  The Almighty already told us exactly what is going to happen.  Read Revelation.  Read the prophets.  That's what is going to happen.  It is 100% guaranteed without any need of predictions from mankind.  The Lord is coming back unexpectedly and this world is going to be pummeled.  Some will be spared, some will die in the tribulation, some will stand before the Lord having escaped "all these things that shall come to pass:"

Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The answer to "what now?" for us who believe is to do what we were told to do:  repent, fast, pray, stay in the Word, and be watching for the return of the Lord-every day.  As with everything the Lord told us to do there are multiple layers of wisdom woven into every Word He gave us.  Being watchful and ready every day is important both from the standpoint of the Lord coming back for us, and also because nobody guaranteed any of us that we will live to see tomorrow.  One way or another, with time passing faster (seemingly) every day, we will be face to face with our Master very soon.

Rosh Hashanah High Watch Extension

Normally when the new moon is sighted in Jerusalem, we can call it a new year and know that the Lord is going to tarry.  In this case, this year with so many signs and signals packed into such a short period (the 40 day warning period from 8/21-great eclipse through Yom Kippur), we would be wise to maintain our high watch for at least another day-through sunset at least of 9/23/17.

We are always to be watching, but there are times when we should be on high watch (high alert).  This is one of those times.  If the Lord tarries through 9/23 we must continue to maintain our vigil-watching always for His return.  No man knows the day or hour points at a minimum to both: 1.  the feast of trumpets/Rosh Hashanah and 2.  Every other day until He arrives.

The Lord has gone out of His way to warn us this time, we would be wise to always be on the alert and watching.  We may not understand exactly what it is He is pointing to but we can be absolutely certain we have been warned and it was the Lord God who did the warning.  We know because no many can issue the kinds of warnings we have received.  The warnings started with the re-emergence of the Shemitah cycle, the reformation of the nation of Israel, the blood moon tetrad precisely on the Lord's feast days, and the total solar eclipse between the lunar tetrad years.  In the recent past, the great American eclipse this year 40 days from Yom Kippur along with a host of disasters and a string of personal signs warn this writer, who in turn warns you that we have put 'business as usual' in the rear view mirror for the foreseeable future.

This writer does not know on what day the Lord is going to act, but the Lord IS going to act.  How can we be so sure?  He already told us what He is going to do.  HE already 'predicted' exactly what is going to happen.  Turn your Bible to the book of Revelation and the book of Daniel and start reading.  That is what is going to happen.  When these things begin to happen, we need to look up.

Massive Earthquake Hits Mexico, Volcano Erupts Soon After

Earthquake link
Volcano link.

And Puerto Rico appears poised to be leveled by yet another CAT 4+ hurricane, hurricane Maria.

And all this ^^ comes right on the heels of two CAT 4 hurricanes hitting the United States almost back to back.  The cleanup and recovery has only just begun in both places and here comes another one.  So whats going on?  Its called getting our attention.  There are Christians all over the world who need to have their attention refocused.  Who wants their attention?  You guessed it, Almighty God.

When you read the book of Revelation you see progressive judgements and progressive wrath.  The Lord works His way up from "oh, that's bad" to "the end is here, the wrath of God is upon us."

Rev 6:12And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; 13And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. 14And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. 15And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; 16And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: 17For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Notice in verses 15-17 above, He does get their attention...No its not 'global warming' and its a lot more than 'climate change,' its called the wrath of God.  But we are not there yet.  We are still in the beginning stages:

Matt 24:5 For 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.

He has our attention, but there is still work to do.  Others need to be awakened from their slumber.  The sooner the people on this earth see and understand the hand of the Almighty in what is happening, the better.  In all of the sorrow the world has recently experienced, there is still hope.  The hope is in repentance, fasting, praying
and obedience.  Mankind has to yield.  We must bend the knee and confess that God is God and we are just mankind, weak and short lived.  Any worth, any value we have is to be found in Christ alone.

This ^^ is what is playing out before our eyes.  Space rocks are also falling on the earth recently with greater intensity.  The sun is getting very active at a time when scientists believed it should be going to sleep.  These are all steps in the multi-staged divine plan to disabuse the inhabitants of earth of their false notions.  "Global warming" is not causing space rocks to fall on the earth.  And the carbon dioxide from your SUV isn't causing the sun to emit multiple serious X class flares back to back.  No, its the hand of God working to get our attention.  For some, it is working.  He has our attention.  For others its going to take more sorrow to turn their faces up.  Either way, His will, will be done here on earth just as it is in heaven.  Glory to God.

Drills, Training and The Christian

This writer has worked in or around the military his entire adult life.  One thing that is common knowledge in the military is you have to drill, you have to train to fight.  Nobody with any sense believes you can not train and win when its time for war.  There is a direct parallel to what we are called to do as Christians.  The Lord told us over and over again to be always watching for His return and praying.  We, as Christian soldiers are doing the exact same thing when we watch, pray and live prepared for the Lord's return at any moment. 

The soldier has no idea if they are going to be called to war tonight, or tomorrow or the next week.  They just have to be ready for it when it happens.  The same exact thinking applies to us.  We have no idea if the Lord is going to show up for us tonight, tomorrow or next week.  We just have to be ready for it when it happens.

Tomorrow At Sundown-Feast of Trumpets 2017

Tomorrow at sundown the feast of trumpets-Rosh Hashanah begins.  Do we know if the Lord will come back for us tomorrow or at any time over this Feast of Trumpets?  No, we do not.  Will we be watching and ready if He does?  Yes, we will.

We need to be ready either way.  If He shows up, thank the Lord.  If He does not, we continue to watch and wait.

Meanwhile, this world is accelerating into decline, decay and destruction on every front.  We have been warned about what is coming.  Our job is to watch and when we are warned to take the warnings seriously.  The Lord never told us to try to predict the day He is coming.  He did tell us to continually be watching for it.

The Revelation 12 Sign, 9/23/17

A day or two ago this writer stated that the Lord had not given anything to me personally about the Revelation 12 sign on 9/23/17.  Well, as of last night that changed.  The Almighty did confirm to me through a personal sign that this Revelation 12 sign is from Him.

It makes this writer nervous to write things like this ^^ but it has to be written.   Let me give you one more personal sign that makes this writer nervous.  A personal sign was given a couple of weeks ago to be prepared to leave.  You do not read things like that on this blog because these are first time in a lifetime signs.   These signs can be written here because they were not given to someone else, they were given to me personally.   

In this season we are to repent, watch, pray and be ready for what comes next.  This writer is predicting nothing, it is the Lord who is giving the signs, not man.  So what now?  We are to do what we were told to do.  Be watching-always, and pray that we may be accounted worthy to escape all that is about to happen.  If we do what we were told to do we will not be caught sleeping and unprepared when the Master arrives.

3 Days Till The Feast of Trumpets-Be Watching and Ready

Rosh Hashanah 2017

• begins Wednesday, September 20
  • at sunset (in 3 days)
• ends Friday, September 22
  • at nightfall

It is our duty to be watching and ready for the Lord's arrival on the feast of trumpets every year.  We do not know the day or hour He will come back.  That saying has a double meaning just as many things our Lord said have double or triple meanings.  He said what He said in such a way to confound the casual reader.  In this case He said no many knows the day or hour of His secret return.  That is 100% true.  Is it possible to know within two days?  Yes-the Feast of Trumpets.  Is it possible to know the season?  Yes, the fall.  Who "predicted" that the Feast of Trumpets will have a prophetic fulfillment.  The Lord God did.

So what?  So those who know for a fact that all 4 of the spring feasts were prophetically fulfilled-to the very day- and refuse to watch for the fulfillment of the next one will be found without an excuse when it happens.  We have been warned extensively.  We have had signs in the sun, moon and stars.  We have the world in complete upheaval socially, spiritually, naturally, economically, and yet many still refuse to watch.

The Lord Himself told us to watch, watch, watch.  For what?  For Him.  For His return.  Does it sound like a broken record?  It should, that's the point.  The Lord repeated Himself over and over again on this point which is something He does not do unless it is critically important. 

What happens if the Lord does not come back this year on the Feast of Trumpets?

1.  The feast of Trumpets is not the only time we are watching for His return.  What were His instructions to us? 

Luke 21:36 ³⁶ Be 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."

Right ^^ always means always.  Always means every day, so we continue watching-always.

2.  The Feast of Trumpets takes place every year which means we will heighten our watching and readiness again next year without failing to watch and pray every day as we were commanded.

Be watching and be ready.  Those were the commands our Master left for us.  Those who refuse to do this, will likely be sorely disappointed.  The scoffers and mockers like to ask us what happens when we are "wrong" when each year so far the Lord has tarried on the Feast of Trumpets.  I like to turn this question around on them.  What happens when they are wrong and left behind?  They like to ask us what will happen to our faith when the Lord doesn't arrive on this years Feast of Trumpets and I like to counter with whats going to happen to their faith when He does..........

This watching and readiness has ZERO to do with mankind predicting what is going to happen.  It has everything to do with each and every Divine appointment/Feast day/Moed predicting that something is going to happen.  Man did not predict this, the Lord God did.  The Lord God is the one who commanded the repeated observance of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Sukkot.  Our watching and readiness is predicated on our Lord's commands to us.  It is also heightened by signs in the heavens and signs on earth.

The Lord told us to watch and this writer intends to do exactly what the Lord commanded.  This writer will be watching for the Lord Jesus Christ to do exactly what He said He would do and arrive on an unexpected day and hour.

I'm sorry if my logic is off here but lets consider how this could possibly play out:

1.  The obedient do what the Lord commanded and are watching and ready EVERY DAY, but especially around the Fall feast days.  When the Lord does arrive some day, where exactly is the downside for one who is found watching on that day?

2.  The scoffers and deniers make their decision to start watching on some day or other in the future (?)-whenever that is, the Lord shows up on a different day.  There is plenty of downside in that scenario.  They refused to watch and as a result the Lord arrives "as a thief."

Rev 3:2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 

There is no downside, no risk, no problem, no disobedience in watching for our Lord's return EVERY DAY.  All of the downside risk lies with those who refuse to do what they were clearly told to do-be always on the watch

The warnings are clear.  Be watching or else....

Revelation 12 Sign Debunked? Go Back to Sleep...

Every day there are more scoffers coming out of the woodwork to "debunk" the Revelation 12 sign in the heavens on 9/23/17.  Basically the message is "nothing to see here, now go back to sleep."  That's fine, debunk away.  The Lord did not impress this writer with warnings about 9/23/17 or the Revelation 12 sign.  This writer was impressed by the warnings given by the lunar tetrad on the Lord's feast days in 2014-2015.  Anyone care to debunk those warnings?  They tried, and failed.  This writer has recently been warned about the 8/21/17 "great American eclipse" 40 day warning ending on Yom Kippur which is why we have been counting it down here.  The first eclipse took place on 8/21/17, with a follow up "great American eclipse" 7 years later. 

Israel was founded as a nation in 1947/1948 depending on how you want to calculate it.  70 years later (one Biblical generation) brings us to 2017/2018.  This writer has been given specific, personal warnings to prepare for this season.  Specifically, a warning has been given about 2018.  We also have each of the fall feast days, Hebrew "Moed" or Divine appointments.  Each of those feast days carries with it, its own warning of impending fulfillment or do the scoffers doubt that the Lord plans to do exactly what He promised to do on the unfulfilled feast days, as He has done precisely to the day for each of the spring feasts?

We have been warned.  This writer has been warned personally to prepare for what is coming.  Each post here has had similar wording that reflects the warning.  Forget about trying to predict what is going to happen.  We already know what is going to happen.  We were not told to predict what is going to happen.  We were told to be watching (always) and praying.  Watching for what?  For HIM.  And when we are warned, to respect the warnings and take appropriate action.  Like what?  Like doing what we were told to do: repent, fast, pray, be watching and ready.  Debunk that.....

The Lord is not wordy.  He knows how to make His point in very few words so when He repeats something over, and over and over again we better pay attention.  How many times did He warns us to watch for His arrival?

Luke 21:34And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares. 35For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Mark 13:32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

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

Matt 25:1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Rev 3:1And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. 3Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. 5He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. 6He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch...Watch for what?  FOR HIM.  For a God who is not wordy He certainly put in the effort on this point to repeat Himself multiple times.  Maybe, just maybe He wants us to watch for His arrival.  Maybe He considered this such an important point that He wanted us in no way shape or form to miss it.  I saw one preacher write off all of this ^^, all four gospels- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John with "He was talking to the Jews, its not for us."  Say what??????? 

Matthew 25 is very clear, there are wise and foolish virgins.  We also know there will be believers on the earth during the tribulation period.  Who will they be?  Perhaps the ones who cannot inherit certain promises due to their unbelief:

Hebrews 6:12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Matt 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.

Mark 6:4But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.

I'm not sure what else the Lord would need to do to get people's attention.  He has sent sign after sign, signal after signal and yet many are still sound asleep with many so called men of God singing the lullaby.  This writer prays that neither you or I are caught sleeping when the Master arrives.

Blood Moons, Trouble For Israel?

In 2014-2015 we saw the blood moon tetrad on the Lord's feast days.  When you calculate the odds of what it takes for the sun, moon and earth to align precisely to create a blood moon, and add those odds to what it would take to make those happen precisely on Passover and Sukkot-two years in a row, you start to get the picture.  Astronomical, those are the odds.  The scoffers and naysayers were out in full force after the blood moons with "look nothing happened!"  Nothing happened?

Let's consider Israel's position now in 2017 and judge this "nothing happened" idea:

1.  During this exact time frame of 2014-2015 the Islamic invasion of Europe began.  This invasion was and is encouraged by the leaders of western Europe and their friend, Barack Hussein (Obama).  So lets ask the question, is an Islamic Europe good or bad for Israel?

2.  America has been steadily weakened by the same establishment, globalist politicians who would have had the same full scale Islamic invasion of America.  Their plans have only been semi-delayed by the election of Trump.  This writer can tell you that over the past two years I have seen more hijabs in my corner of the United States than I have seen in my life previously and this is occurring across the U.S.  Additionally, internal strife between the people of the not so United States has risen to new heights resulting to almost daily violence on our streets.  We have also seen two major hurricanes that hit two different states carrying a prices tag exceeding 100 billion dollars and counting.  The list goes on but you get the idea.  What's the point?  Who is the only country in the world who routinely stands up for Israel while the rest of the world attacks it (most notably in the UN).  Who provides Israel with millions of dollars of military aid every year?  Which country has been most used to bless, protect and watch over Israel since it was reformed in the middle east?  So again the same question: is a weakened/fragmented/bankrupt America, good or bad for Israel?

3.  The situation in the middle east.  ISIS was created as a tool of western governments, working with the gulf monarchies and Israel to destabilize and eventually overthrow the Shiite governments with an end game of taking out Iran.  The evidence is overwhelming for this claim.  The smoking gun evidence?  Funny how ISIS went on a rampage throughout the middle east but never once attacked Israel.  We all know that Israel takes its security seriously and would never, ever allow an ISIS expansion throughout the middle east without bombing them into the stone age-that is, unless something else was going on..... Instead, Israel routinely bombs Syrian forces and ignores (covertly supports) ISIS.  So what?  The plan backfired.

What's the situation now?  ISIS is being annihilated, by Russia, Syria, Hezbollah and republican guards troops from Iran.  Net result?  Now Israel is going to have this entire coalition sitting right on their doorstep.  Hezbollah is actually building missile factories now in Syria.  Is this good or bad for Israel?

Why has Israel's (and the west's) ISIS plan backfired?  They miscalculated who they were fighting against.  Who did the Lord God say He would raise up in the last days as an adversary?

Isaiah 13:17           

See, I will stir up against them the Medes, who do not care for silver and have no delight in gold. ... "Look, I will stir up the Medes against Babylon. ...

Jeremiah 51:11           

"Sharpen the arrows, take up the shields! The LORD has stirred up the kings of the Medes, because his purpose is to destroy Babylon. ...

Who are the Medes?  Who are the Persians?  Iran.

^^ is this good or bad for Israel? 

We have to remember that the Lord has a plan and that plan ends in Israel being saved from its troubles, but Israel will not do that saving in its own power.  The Lord God will save Israel but not before being tried severely.  This time of trial is known as the time of Jacob's trouble:

Jer 30:7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

Suffice it to say "something happened" when those blood moons marked out this time in the heavens.  The same people are coming out now telling us not to get too worked up about the most recent great American eclipse and coming Revelation 12 sign in the heavens.  "Nothing is going to happen," or so they say.  They were wrong then and they will be wrong again.  These signs in the heavens cannot be faked or hidden by the wicked, the scoffers or the naysayers.  The mathematical precision with which these signs have been given to us are the mark of authenticity that tell us without a doubt who the signs came from.

What is going to happen is 100% certain-its everything written in the Bible that has not taken place yet.  Its guaranteed, all of it.  Some of it is here now and some of it is coming.  The Lord has not told us the exact day or exact hour of what is coming but He has had appointed times marked out for us now for thousands of years.  He has also given us signs in the sun, moon and stars warning us of what is coming:

Luke 21:25 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

How many more signs in the sun moon and stars do we need before we wake up?  This writer's prayer is that you are already awake and those who are still asleep will wake up before the Master of the house arrives unexpectedly:

Mark 13:32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.  33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

One Week and A Day From the Feast of Trumpets

Its time to get ready for the dress rehearsal.  Predictably, the nay sayers and scoffers have come out in full force with "you cant predict the day" and "you are going to destroy people's faith if nothing happens" nonsense.  Lets get something clear about predictions.  Do you know who predicted "something is going to happen" on the Feast of Trumpets?  The Lord God did.  He predicted fulfillment of all the appointed times and so far He is batting 100%.  All of the spring feast days were prophetically fulfilled-to the day...the exact day.

This writer is watching for the coming of the Lord every single day but around this time of year, the watching gets stepped up a notch.  Why?  The Lord told us nobody could know the day or hour of His secret coming.  True enough, the Feast of Trumpets spans two days, not one.  So, the Lord can be absolutely correct that we cannot know the day, but can we know within a span of two days?  There is not a single Word in the Bible that prevents us from knowing within two days when the Lord is coming back for us.  Now, can we be sure of the year?  Nope, which is why the Jews do a dress rehearsal every single year..so should we.

This writer watches for the secret return of the Lord every year.  Years have passed, the Feast of Trumpets has passed for years, decades.  Can you imagine on one year or another someone throws their hands up in the air and says "well, that's it for me!  He didn't come back this year I'm cashing my chips in and going atheist!"  If it sounds stupid, that's because it is stupid.  Are you kidding me?  The Feast of Trumpets will be fulfilled just as the spring feasts were fulfilled.  We are to be continually watching for His return and praying

Luke 21:36 Be 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.

The Lord can do whatever He wants to do, but He cannot lie.  If He said its going to happen you can be certain its going to happen, exactly as He said it would.  There are wise and foolish virgins according to Matt 25.  The foolish virgins are not going to be too happy when 1.  The Lord tells them He doesn't even know them and 2.  He closes the door on them:

Matt 25:1“At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise. 3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise ones, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.

6“At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’

7“Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’

9“ ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’

10“But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.

11“Later the others also came. ‘Lord, Lord,’ they said, ‘open the door for us!’

12“But he replied, ‘Truly I tell you, I don’t know you.’

13“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

We don't have to predict anything, the Lord already told us what is going to happen.  Our job is to be watching and ready.  Apparently there are multitudes out there who have a really hard time with this.  They want to argue until they are red in the face that all this watching and readiness is futile.  That argument sounds like a dispute with Almighty God since He is the one who told us over and over and over again to be watching for this unknown day and hour.

When the Lord returns on some Feast of Trumpets, He will be precisely correct that we did not know the day or hour and we will be precisely correct in watching for Him over that two day period.  When He tarries we do not throw our hands up in the air and tell the Lord He can have His salvation back, that's stupid (I have to call it what it is).  We do what we were told to do, continuing watching, continue praying and remembering what He told us:

Hebrews 6:12
¹² That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Through faith and what?  Patience.  Through faith and patience we inherit the promises.  However long it takes, that's how long we wait.

18 Days and Counting-Does He Have Our Attention?

The Lord has gone out of His way to ensure this writer has given full attention to the warning given on the solar eclipse-8/21/17 through this feast of trumpets and Yom Kippur.  I wont get into the many signals given but suffice it to say He wants us to pay attention to this season.  The feast of trumpets this year is 9/21-9/22, just one day before the Revelation 12 sign in the heavens that has never been seen before in 7,000 years of world history and will not be seen again in the next 7,000 years. 

What is going to happen?  Only the Lord knows that.  What do we know?  We know that all of the spring appointed times (feast days) were fulfilled to the very day.  The next feast day (Moed-appointed time) to be fulfilled is the feast of trumpets (Rosh Hashanah).  Will it be fulfilled on the exact day as the spring feasts were?  It is the only one of the feasts that takes place on an unknown day and hour. 

Rosh Hashanah:

Rosh Hashanah or Jewish New Year is called the Feast of Trumpets in the Bible because it begins the Jewish High Holy Days and Ten Days of Repentance (or Days of Awe) with the blowing of the ram's horn, the shofar, calling God's people together to repent from their sins. During Rosh Hashanah synagogue services, the trumpet traditionally sounds 100 notes.  Rosh Hashanah is also the start of the civil year in Israel.  It is a solemn day of soul-searching, forgiveness, repentance and remembering God's judgment, as well as a joyful day of celebration, looking forward to God's goodness and mercy in the New Year.

Needless to say this season is loaded with prophetic implications.  Add onto that the shemitah cycles, blood moons, the recent solar eclipse and a truck load of personal signals to be watching and we have a period of time that only the ignorant or the foolish would overlook.  The Lord has this writer's full attention, I pray that He has yours as well.  This has nothing to do with predicting what is going to happen.  It has everything to do with acknowledging the signals He has sent us and doing what we were told to do:

Luke 21:36 Be 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."

So what are we doing?  We are watching-always, and praying like we were told to.  The Lord has done a very good job of date setting without us needing to do it for Him.  He is the one who set these "appointed times,"  not man.  He is the one who set the signs and signals in the sky with mathematical precision, not man.  We are to be observant, watching.

Now is the time to pay careful attention to our lives and set things right (if they are not already).  Its not a question of "if the Lord is going to do something."  He has already been quite busy "doing" and He has plenty more on His to do list that we can read all about from the prophets and the book of Revelation.  Don't let the naysayers and scoffers put you back to sleep:

Mark 13:32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.  33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is. 34For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

20 Days and Counting

Today we can add Hurricane Irma to the disaster list that will cost America billions of dollars to recover from.  What could go wrong next?  Even the world is asking this question now, see article here.  The Lord has given us multiple warning signs starting with the re-emergence of the Shemitah cycle and the blood moons on His appointed times (feast days).  Now we can add to that list a total solar eclipse exactly 40 days from Yom Kippur. 

The Lord has been very clear with this writer about what this means.  The Lord has used 40 time and again for the same exact purpose: trial and testing.  That's what these 40 days are that we are counting down.  The fact that even the world is noticing something is not right means the warnings are registering (at least with some people).  People should be stopping and reflecting on the bigger picture.  The biggest of big pictures is what the Creator saying to us. 

Things cannot go on as they have been.  The apostasy in the Church, the wickedness in the world both have predictable outcomes.  We are seeing warnings/hints of what those outcomes are going to be.  We do not have to guess what is coming, we already know.  Global disasters that stagger the mind are what is on tap for this world (see the book of Revelation, chapter 6+).  In His grace and mercy He does warn us first.  When these things begin to happen, what were we told to do?

Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

We have 20 days left until the doors close on this warning we have been given.  We also know exactly what is going to happen (Revelation 6+).  He told us clearly to be watching and ready for His arrival whenever that may be.  Considering the season we are in (fall feast season-next up=feast of trumpets) we should be particularly watchful.  Those who refuse to watch for the return of the Lord are foolish.  We were told time and again to be watching and not watching for just anything, watching for HIM.

Meantime, while we watch and pray this world has been served notice that the clock is ticking.  20 days and counting...And just to be clear this has nothing to do with predicting what will happen when the 40 days of trial come to a close and it has everything to do with respecting the warnings.  Respect the warnings and prepare accordingly.

26 Days and Counting

The great American eclipse took place on 8/21, and 'nothing happened' right?  Nothing except the worst natural disaster in United States history.  The entire north west of the United States is on fire (with zero media coverage), another CAT 4 hurricane is inbound, and we are on the brink of war with North Korea.

And whats the kicker here?  We are still within the 40 day warning period.

Nineveh received a 40 day warning from Jonah.  What many people do not know is what happened to Nineveh before Jonah issued that warning.  What happened?  Starting at 11:11 in the video:

1. In 765 BC a plague broke out in Nineveh
2. Followed by a civil war
3. Followed by another plague

Guess what happened at the end of these ^^ troubles?  The most famous solar eclipse in the ancient world-the Bur-Sagale eclipse in 763 BC.

After all this ^^ Jonah shows up on the first day of Elul (which is when we had our great American eclipse) and he tells Nineveh they have 40 days to repent or else.  No go re-read up top what is happening to the United States. 

We are being warned.  We have 40 days (26 now) to repent.

27 Days and Counting

We are now in the Hebrew year 5777. 

Rosh Hashanah this year is 9/20-9/22. 

The Revelation 12 sign in the heavens is on 9/23. 

So what?  So our God created mathematics.  He created physics, science and everything else.  He is perfect, all knowing, all powerful.  There is infinite wisdom behind everything He has done, which brings us to the year 5777.

In the Bible 5 symbolizes grace.  7 symbolizes perfection, completion.  So when we look at the number 5777, what is the God who created mathematics, physics and science telling us?

Grace-perfected, complete- perfected, complete- perfected, complete.  As in, the age of grace, perfected/complete?  I guess we'll find out soon enough.

This ^^ is just one more piece of evidence that our Lord is warning, and trying to get our attention with an overwhelming body of evidence.  Who knows what is going to happen in the days ahead?  We don't have to predict anything, our job is to be watching and ready.   What this writer knows with certainty is 1.  we are being warned, and 2. we are to take the warnings seriously and prepare accordingly.

Fast, pray, stay in the Word.  Be watching, be ready.

Trump And the 40 Day Warning

I asked the Lord to give me additional insight during this 40 day warning period, He is delivering.  Trump becoming president was an absolute miracle.  So, the Lord wanted Trump in the white house for this season.  Why?  We can start with the least of the reasons:  Trump will not be the president forever, but he just happens to be president (a man named TRUMP) over the Feast of Trumpets 2017.  We don't even know if he will still be president next year, but he is for this season.  What's the significance?  It is one more straw on the camels back made up of a mountain of signs and signals given to this world.

What else?  What happens at the end of the 40 day warning period from the total solar eclipse (elul 1) to Yom Kippur?  It depends.  Will America repent or not?  Now, to turn the clock back and look at the lead in to this year and this season of warnings.  The Lord put Trump in office for this specific season for a reason (not just because his name is Trump but because we serve an awesome all knowing all powerful God).  At the end of the 40 days the Lord has a man in the most powerful political office in the world that He can use to bend one way or another.  More detail from the Bible here:

Prov 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.

What does this mean ^^?  No repentance in America=Trumps heart turned to the destruction of America.  If we see repentance?  Trumps heart towards building it up.  In case you haven't noticed we are sitting on a razor's edge right now.  Trump is surrounded with satanic globalists who want 1.  the destruction of America 2.  with an end game of the destruction of Israel.  All it will take is for the Lord to gently influence Trump one way or the other and that's the direction we will go.  Spared or overthrown-those are the choices we face.

Jonah 3:3 Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: ² “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.”
³ Jonah obeyed the word of the Lord and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very large city; it took three days to go through it. ⁴ Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, proclaiming, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overthrown.” ⁵ The Ninevites believed God. A fast was proclaimed, and all of them, from the greatest to the least, put on sackcloth.

At the moment, this writer sees zero signs of national repentance. 

Of course, guiding Trump one way or another is just one of the judgement options on the table.  Texas just experienced the worst natural disaster in state history a week or so after the eclipse. 
The signs and signals given to this world (and America in particular) have been impressive.  Take the warnings seriously and prepare accordingly.

29 Days and Counting

We have 29 days left.  On Rosh Hashanah the gates of heaven open, on Yom Kippur the gates of heaven close.  Gates of heaven open?  Gee, that sounds familiar...

Rev 3:7And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

8I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 9Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 10Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Rev 4:1After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter

The Old Testament is the New Testament concealed.  The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed....

By Yom Kippur the 40 days of repentance, that begin with the first of Elul, have passed.  40 days of repentance?  Yes, every year.  This year however we were given a total solar eclipse to punctuate that 40 days of repentance leading up to Yom Kippur.  The timing is exact to the day.  We have been given a divine warning that has been stamped and sealed by Almighty God so no one has to guess or speculate about it.  What makes this time different than the normal 40 days of repentance leading up to Yom Kippur?  There are many who would normally say "that's for the Jews, I can go back to sleep now."  Well, the total solar eclipse negated that excuse for this year.  The gentile world uses a solar calendar, the Jews base their calendar on the moon.  This was a total solar eclipse, meaning who is being warned here?  The gentiles...

The evidence is overwhelming.  Jonah warned the city of Ninevah that they had 40 days to repent or else....  The Lord Jesus Christ spent 40 days in the desert being tried and tested.  Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness being tried and tested.  We are being tried and tested over this 40 days.  This writer has been given a direct warning about 2018, does that have any basis in Biblical fact?  On Yom Kippur the Book of Life is closed and sealed. Those that have repented for their sins are granted a good and happy New Year.  What is Rosh Hashanah?  Its the next Jewish year, the Lord does not base His timing on the solar calendar but for us who do use the solar calendar what is next year?  2018.  We have been given a 40 day warning to repent or else, just like Nineveh and Jonah.  The 40 days ends on Yom Kippur. 

We have been warned.  What is the Spirit of the Lord saying to this nobody who writes to you today?  Take the warning seriously and prepare accordingly.
