We Were Warned

When the financial crisis of 2008 hit, I'll be the first to admit I was surprised.  7 years later in 2015, I am not.  Not only will I not be surprised but everyone will be without excuse this time.  Every alternative news outlet I know of has in some shape or fashion published something about the shemitah year.

Not only do we now know about the shemitah year we also know about the lunar tetrad blood moons on the Lord's feast days that end, right about the time of the shemitah.  To add to that we have a cow with a 7 painted on its forehead (by the Lord for us all to see)

that gets published in an oblivious newspaper online the very first day of this shemitah year.  What are the chances this was all some accident or it was all by chance?  There is a zero percent chance it was all an accident and not only do we know what is coming as a result of all this, the world knows what is coming as well.

You can read a nice summary of what the world knows is coming here.

Here is the thing, this shemitah cycle and the blood moons and the solar eclipses are all warnings to us and guess what?  The warnings are working (and they are not.)  What do I mean the warnings are working?  Everyone and their brother just about knows that this fall all hell is going to break loose in the financial world.  Thats both us as believers and the world, we all know its coming.  Why do I say the warnings are not working.  We, all of us know what is coming and this world is worse than it ever was in every category: spiritually, socially, economically, morally etc etc.

In short, people know and do not care enough to change.  Why does this matter?  Well, it starts with us.  We are the problem.  What, how dare you brother D!  Who are you to judge me?  I am nobodies judge but the Word of God judges all of us:

2 Chron 7:14  if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

What is this telling us^^?  It tells us that it does not matter that Obama and all the politicians of the world are in bed with the devil.  It doesnt matter that all the major corporations of the world are in bed with the governments of the world doing the devils work, it does not matter.  What does God Almighty say?

If my people (thats you and me)

who are called by my name (Christ-ian, thats you and me)

will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin and heal their land.

Then...a conditional word.  If our land is not healed and it most certainly is not, then it is our fault first and foremost.

Again, how dare you brother D!  What does the Word say?

1 Peter 4:17  For it is time for judgment to begin with God's household; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

It is time for judgement to begin.  With who?  God's household, again that is you and me.

And now we know why history repeats itself.  How many people want to be told that the problem begins with them?  In this world that will shut down the ears and eyes of about 99% of us.  And thus you have the pages of the Bible littered with the corpses of an unrepentant Israel most of whom were slaughtered in our Lord's anger and only a remnant saved.  Over and over again.  And before we tell ourselves we are not Israel and we are under grace so there is nothing to worry about the Lord Jesus Christ himself dispels any incorrect notions:

Matt 7:21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven [will enter]. 22"Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name castout demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

These ^^ are Christians He is talking to.  And is it just a few?  No, He says "many."

In the preceding verses he already clarified that many in fact means "most."

How many make it through the gate that leads to life?  Few.

13"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. 14"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

We have been warned.  This time I fear the false alarms are over and the live event plays out.  We have been warned over a period of years and now the time has come for recompense.

What is the good news brother D?  The good news is, the hour is late but not too late.  This fall is still months away, we can set things right today.

This time, the Lord has actually given us times and dates.  We know for sure when the end of the lunar tetrad is (9/28/15) and we know for sure when the last day of the Shemitah year is (9/13/2015).
Do we know for sure what exactly will happen?  No, but we can make some really good guesses.  Here are my guesses:

2015:  Sept-Oct economic collapse begins in earnest and continues for years into 2016, 2017...
2016:  a guess-6 or so months after the real collapse begins WW 3 shows up in the spring of 2016?  Likely (in my opinion) out of WW3 the anti-christ will arrive (at the end?) to clean up the aftermath and wow the world.

Every major war in modern history has been born out of economic distress.  All of them.  This time will be no different.  The Lord sent us a cow with a 7 painted on its head to look to Pharaoh's 7 year of plenty and 7 years of famine.  It appears that as of this fall (Sept 13, 2015) or thereabouts we are facing 7 years of famine or something comparable.

Lets remember why this time it is different.  No man can place a lunar tetrad or full solar eclipses in the heavens.  No man formed the shemitah cycle that traces itself all the way back to ancient Israel.  No man can arrange the DNA in a cow such that it both 1.  end up with a 7 painted on its head and more importantly 2. ends up with its picture on the internet the day of the shemitah year.

Bankers are committing suicide fast than I can count them and the super rich are buying themselves island to fly away from it all when hell breaks loose on earth.  What they failed to consider is this time the troubles are the result of an angry God.  There is no hold deep enough and no island far enough away to hide from God Almighty.

I was walking with the Lord today when He gave this to me, I now pass it on to you.  We were warned and for us the warning should be enough to get us to get rid of anything that hinders our walk with our loving Father.  Yes, He is a loving Father and a righteous judge, both not one or the other.

I have no doubt that it was and is in mercy and grace and loving kindness that we who are called by His name have been warned.  For this reason I consider this message a message of hope.  The rains did not come down on Noah instantly and what is just ahead of us will not arrive instantly either.  It has been years in the coming and it is not here yet thank the Lord.

What can we do about what is coming?

1.  Be right with our God.  If you are not sure what that means, ask Him.  Stay in the Word.

2.  If we are 99% sure that economic collapse and world war are coming, we can do the little things.  Have some extra food and toilet paper around the house, maybe some extra cash in the house if you can as well.  Just do the little things that an intelligent forewarned person would do.  Yes, the Lord will have to take care of the big things for us, but we should at least be able to handle the first week or two of the shockwave that will hit this world.

Part of being warned is a responsibility to do what we can to prepare.  Do what the Lord brings to mind for you to prepare.

We were warned.

Controlled Economic Demolition

What we are seeing is the controlled demolition of the world economy.  Why destroy it?  To bring in a new system.  Most people probably have the wrong idea about what this new economic system will look like.  Remember that the enemy is crafty and is not going to show his horns to you.  He shows himself to men in the best possible way, as an angel of light.  Ok, so what?

So, this nobody would like to lay out a scenario for you.  We do not know exactly when the Lord will show up for us, so who knows how much of this we might see.  We are in the process of watching an economic takedown.  There will be a time of uncomfortable transition (weeks? months?) then they will roll out their new system.  The system can be a one world economic system without having a single currency.  The key is central control.  For example, the new system could be commodity backed where each country backs their currency with what they produce.  A central bank would control all of the hard assets that backed the currencies of the world, which means that bank would control the world.  Again, so what?

So, after the (short?) transition period, it is possible that the world could see a time of great prosperity in the first years of the anti-Christ.  What we are seeing now is the prelude, the setup for his arrival.  Think about it, drag the people through doom, doom, doom, doom then voila, hey look at this!  Incredible prosperity!  The anti-Christ arrives to 'turn that frown upside down.'  He gives them the prosperity they have been looking for, then encourages them to "do what thou wilt."  It is a brilliant strategy.  Why?

When do men cry out to God?  When they are troubled and have no where else to turn.  When does mankind forget the Lord?  When they are prosperous.

Hosea 13:6 

When I fed them, they were satisfied; when they were satisfied, they became proud; then they forgot me

What will be the most effective way to destroy men's souls?  That is really what this is all about, a war for souls.  So how would an adversary most effectively destroy men?  Through prosperity.  The enemy does not want men crying out to the Lord, he wants them satisfied and complacent and seeking after their own pleasures.

Conclusion

This was a longwinded way of saying that this writer believes the enemy is setting up mankind.  The economy is being taken down so mankind will be greeted on the other side by the anti-Christ who will offer all kinds of goodies (like economic prosperity).  This plan will have a secondary effect of severely hardening the hearts of the lost against the believers who remain.  Why?  Because through this time of trouble, we have been preaching judgement.  The lost and the self-seeking are tired of being confronted with the Holy One.

Isaiah 30:11 

Leave this way, get off this path, and stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel!"

When things turn around and prosperity returns, they will turn a blind eye to the pummeling of the earth by space rocks, seas turned to blood, and plagues of every kind because the  anti-Christ will be giving them what they want.

Rev 9:20And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.


This ^^ tells us clearly that they will be getting pounded by judgement and will not change.

The economy has passed the point of no return (long ago).  We are witnessing the final acts before the takedown.  This writers best guess ties exactly into the lunar tetrad cycle we see before us the next two years 2014-2015.  2014, the banks begin to fail around the world and there will be no more bailouts.  Banks are already on life support so it will not take much to turn them upside down.  We are witnessing the transition.  Rising interest rates and the collapse of the Japanese bond market will tell us all the dominoes are about to fall.

Awareness of the closeness of these things leads this writer to yearn for the kingdom of our God.  I did not chose this anti-Christ system, or world.  I reject it, all of it.  What are the good things, the pleasing ways to the Lord our God?  What are the things that promote peace and quietness and bring our Lord's blessings instead of wrath and judgement?  We should be doing those things.  Today is a day to please the Lord, to be reconciled with Him in every way.  Noah was found righteous in his wicked generation and what happened to him?  Lot was found righteous in his city and what happened to him?  Noah escaped into the ark, and Lot escaped out of Sodom.

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


People can debate over this ^^ as much as they want but the plainly stated, clear fact is:  ESCAPE and judgement happened on the same day.  And, escape preceded judgement.

Luke 21: 36Watch 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 Lord did not have to say "all" in there, but He did:

all

πάντα

panta

3956

all, every

a prim. word

This writer has asked it a million times, what does escape ALL mean?  What does "all" mean?  Put Luke 21:36 into context, please.  And what do you get?  Luke 21 takes you through the entire tribulation period then at the end the Lord tells you to pray to escape ALL of it.  How much more straightforward could it get?  And yet people want to write 100 page dissertations to tell us that the scripture doesn't really mean what it says it means.  By teaching and preaching against the clear reading of scripture aren't they asking to go through the tribulation?  Their own words testify against them.  How many 'pre-wrath' and post-trib teachers teach that the church "needs" to go through the tribulation?  All of them.  They have 100 different arguments for their position (all man made) but it has not occurred to them that if it was so important that the church go through the tribulation, then perhaps the Lord would have clearly identified the churches in revelation as He clearly did in Rev 2-3.  But He did not, they are not there.  The churches are clearly there in Rev 2-3 and they are clearly NOT THERE for the rest of the book.  Argue away, I know, but but but but!

There is clearly a door open in heaven in the parable of the virgins (Matt 25), a door open in heaven in Rev 3:8, and Rev 4:1.  Doors are used for people to go through, is that not straightforward enough?  If there are doors open, and we know with 100% certainty that doors are used for people to pass through, then who is passing through those doors?  It is irrefutible, no-brainer simple, straightforward, no linguistic gymnastics needed interpretation that the church in Rev 3:7-13 is the one presented with an open door, and they are the ones intended to pass through that door.  Does the Lord open a door for that church to slam it closed in their face?  No, He opened the door for them to pass through it, period end of argument.

Of course, someone will write a 200 page book to tell us that people no longer pass through doors, and the Lord really meant something else......
