We are coming into the quake window again and the large quakes are stacking up back to back. You don't have to be a prophet to know a big one is coming, you just need to connect the historical dots. Every spring and fall we see large quakes. Why? If you draw a straight line through earth's annual orbit around the sun and point it out in space toward the destroyer you will get two earthquake windows. One is in the spring, the other in the fall and it has been this way for years now with very large quakes as the evidence proving that our imaginations are not running wild.
Below is a video of how this works

Notice that March is across from September and April is across from October in this rotation. This year we saw twin mega-quakes of 8.6 and 8.2 in Indonesia on April 11:

So we look across earth's rotation around the sun and see that the mirror month is October this year. This does not mean it has to be October because as the destroyer gets closer to our sun it will begin to speed up and that will alter the time pattern we have been seeing. Suffice it to say that we have been seeing large and very large (M7.7 Russia this week) quakes almost back to back this past week and that is a neon advertisement for the approach of the destroyer.
Why are you reading about earthquakes on a blog that belongs to the Lord? Because you read about earthquakes in the Word of God:
| At that very hour there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake ... //bible.cc/revelation/11-13.htm - 18k |
| Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred ... //bible.cc/revelation/16-18.htm - 18k |
| I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. ... I watched as the Lamb broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake. |
| the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire. . |
| In my zeal and fiery wrath I declare that at that time there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. |
| ... the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake. ... //bible.cc/revelation/8-5.htm - 18k |
| ... the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm. ... //bible.cc/revelation/11-19.htm - 18k |
| ... So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and, behold, an earthquake; and the bones came together, bone to its bone |
Enough evidence? I think so.
What are we watching for each and every day? The arrival of the Bridegroom. And no we are not talking about the second coming, we are talking about the coming of the thief, the unannounced arrival of the Bridegroom. The coming of the Lord to the clouds to meet us in the air is NOT the second coming:
| ... with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will be with the Lord forever |
| ... But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. ... If you're not alert, I'll come like a thief. |
So we are watching and waiting with great anticipation for the coming of the Lord. And what accompanies the coming of the Lord? EARTHQUAKE
| the LORD Almighty will come with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with windstorm and tempest and flames of a devouring fire. . |
The signs are all around us that the Bridegroom and the destroyer are inbound to this earth. How do we know that this pair are incoming together?
Luke 1726“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 happened here^^^? Noah and Lot both escaped ALL of the death and destruction and on the same day destruction fell on the wicked.
There is an escape from all promised. There are some who will be kept from what is about to happen to all those on the face of the earth. Forget the naysayers and the scoffers. So many so called Christians today tell us that Jesus cannot appear to us today because this or that or whatever has to happen first. They are WRONG. They confuse the second coming with the coming of the Bridegroom. Do you see any tribulation in the parable of the virgins (Matt 25)? I don't. Do you see any tribulation attached to the escape from all promised in Luke 21:36? I don't. Do you see any tribulation associated with being kept from the hour of trial in Rev 3:10? I don't.
Will the so called christians (so called because I don't know what they are, I am not their appointed judge) escape all when they teach others there is no escape? That is for The Judge to decide. If Noah taught people there would be no flood and refused to build an ark what would have happened to him and his family? If Lot refused to leave Sodom because he did not believe in escaping all the destruction coming to that city what would have been his end? We cannot say for sure but we can guess. Does the Lord reward faithlessness? When the Lord makes a promise and men do not believe the promise do they inherit the promise anyway? Does faith and belief play any part in Christianity? Are you kidding me?
Yet there are so many "grace only" preachers and teachers today who have changed the gospel to their own destruction. They tell you we are saved by grace alone, but what does the Bible say?
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
James 214What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
We are saved by grace THROUGH FAITH. What does that mean? What you believe matters.
Hebrews 3:12See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. 15As has just been said:
“Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts
as you did in the rebellion.”b
16Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? 17And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the desert? 18And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyedc? 19So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief.
Whats the bottom line here? What we believe matters. If the Lord clearly tells us to pray for an escape from all and men tell us there is no escape from all so don't bother praying for it what should we do? We pray for fulfillment of the promises as obedient children. Those who pick and choose which commands to obey are playing with fire. We were commanded to pray that we may be counted worthy to escape ALL of what is about to happen. We would be wise to obey this command:
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.”
If the Lord commanded you to do it, and you refuse to do it, what will the consequences be? The Lord knows.
Conclusion
There is an escape from all coming just as wrath and judgement are coming. The counsel I hear from the Lord today is to be patient. We are the virgins prepared for a wedding. The wise virgins brought extra oil for their lamps in preparation to wait. They prepared to be patient. Rev 3:10 gives us a very clear statement of who will be kept from the hour of trial:
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. 11Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Notice the Lord explicitly mentions who will be kept and why. They kept the word of patience.
The tactic of the enemy today is to send out a million false signals to get everyone to stop watching.
The enemy's tactic is to send false signals to get people into a state of excitement and anticipation then to let nothing happen and let them flop on their face and start all over again. The tactic is tried and true and it is working.
We are not unaware of the enemies schemes
2 Cor 29The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
so let us remain patient and watching as we have been commanded to and when the day and hour arrives we will be ready to meet the Bridegroom and go through that open door (Rev 4:1) into heaven to be with the Lord forever. We are being tested. Will we be patient? Will we continue to watch as the Lord tarries? When should we be watching?
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.”
Be ALWAYS on the watch.
We may have years to wait or the Lord may come back for us tonight, no man knows. It is our job to be faithful servants who are very patient and always watching for our Lords return.
We have waited for years now, what is a little more waiting when we consider the indescribable riches and glory stored up for us?
May the grace and peace of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be with us.
