Planetary Defense Budget Increase - Eschatology Today
We have had a lot of discussions around here lately regarding comets, meteors, meteor storms and the like. With all that, I was especially surprised to find a very unique post on the Eschatology Today page. Keep in mind the Sean primarily focuses on ME events pointing to military action and Biblical fulfillment of the coming wars over there.... So this post jumped out at me as something completely different and especially noteworthy.
[For those of you who may not remember, Sean was a stanch supporter that the Rev12 Sign was fulfilled in the sky last year, and did so at the expense of many of personal relationships with many of the "big names" in the Bible Prophecy community. Despite all the pushback he received from those prominent members of his circle, Sean stood firm and earned the respect of many of us.]
Anyway, here is an excerpt and a link to Sean's recent post for your prayerful consideration:
So the oddity is that with the US having a very tight budget the money being put into a now 2-year old NASA asteroid defense office, known as the "Planetary Defense Coordination Office" (PDCO) is suddenly enjoying a near tripling of its budget, from $60 million per year to $150 million per year.https://eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/2018/10/two-special-items-to-note.html
What is an additional $90 million being spent on when there's no immediate threat from some inbound hurtling space rock? Or is there a space rock threat we're not yet privy to?
Revelation 8:7-11
The first angel sounded: And hail and fire followed, mingled with blood, and they were thrown to the earth. And a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
Then the second angel sounded: And something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. And a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Then the third angel sounded: And a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the water, because it was made bitter.
Revelation 8:7-11
Revelation 8:10-11 Wormwood is coming at sometime. I like a good conspiracy and I think NASA knows something that they are keeping quiet. The closure of the observatories has my interest. Either way I have faith in Jesus Christ and his work on a dirty Roman cross and give thanks, for in him is my salvation.

DeleteReuters has reported some 60 Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers now stationed at a deployment area along the border as of Thursday, which is the largest reported mustering of forces since the 2014 war between Israel and Hamas.
Special UN envoy for the Middle East, Nickolay Mladenov, told the UN Security Council on Thursday that "we remain on the brink of another potentially devastating conflict, a conflict that nobody claims to want, but a conflict that needs much more than just words to prevent".

"The game has changed," is a recurring quote amongst intel there with scuttlebutt of a vehement response unleashing pent rage from incendiary bombings on top of years of abuse. Shades of MUCH larger things approaching, along a similar vein, surely. Maranatha!
DeleteMy guess on this is simple: They would just announce publicly to increase a budget which IS ALREADY SPENT on war in Heaven and underground D.U.M.B. tunneling operations to JUSTIFY it in front of the people. Just in case they would ask where their tax payments have already been going for decades when an asteroid eventually hits that is long ago well known to NASA. The basic rule in government news reporting goes like this: "Only do announce or admit publicly what in fact everybody out there already knows and/or what cannot be any longer denied." The bible is still the most well known bestseller in the world and everybody (believer or not) is in fact already informed about 'Wormwood' from the book of Revelations. This is just telling to the public how they might expect to be hit pretty SOON now according to what NASA already has observed but did not tell openly to avoid panic. Good news to me, Jesus is coming! :-)
ReplyDeleteMARANATHA!
Annabel, agreed. This isn't occurring in a vacuum. POTUS' Space Force? Soft Disclosure, like Chinese water torture through the media, continues. As highlighted by it being the focus of this next thread section, WE simply are Given to SEE this stand out and that a bit differently. BTW, been meaning to ask, has anyone else amongst us been on A Walk to Emmaus retreat? I am guessing not, but would be a treat to know if so. De Colores!
ReplyDeleteJimboni, I've read about the Emmaus Walk before somewhere and I'm thinking it's some sort of ecumenical movement geared toward inter-denominational discipleship.That's all I know--if I know that much. Maybe I'll look it up later to refresh.
DeleteHave to agree on the Chinese water torture, LOL. Been going steady awhile now since they put that pilot's encounter with a ufo all over the news last year, but definitely been a drip, drip, drip and the Space Force thing was likely the red flag of more to come. It sounds just hokey enough to be a concealment of something far more serious, while really not meant to be taken seriously--if that makes any sense. Tom Horn and Steve Quayle were talking about how this "soft disclosure" would come about years ago and it looks like they were right on the money.
Thanks, Miguel--I'll try that link as this one didn't work for me either.
Annabel, the Esdras post on prior thread was an interesting read, esp. v.26. TY for sharing.
Jimboni, your post re the Lamedvavniks strangely reminded me of a movie some years back about a certain number of angelic Watchers that were stationed around the earth and being hunted down one at a time by the evil side. I don't remember the title of it, tho.
Blessings, All:-)
Jimboni, I've been involved with the "Walk" for several years and I will be on table again this year. It has been a blessing to me and my wife. De Colores!
DeleteBrent, Our God of Love's IN THE LAND, De Colores, bro. Quite the Christ-Story in my invitation although I doubt that is not too uncommon. Still, a Wonderful little gemstone always in my pocket and softly running between my fingers, amen.
Delete1 John 4:14
ReplyDelete“We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. “
In today's Bible verse, the Apostle John reiterates a beloved verse that has been quoted millions of times around the world that is found in John 3:16... “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
For John, who was Jesus' closest friend, there was no mistaking who sent Jesus into the world. It was His Father. God Himself initiated our plan of salvation and it was Jesus who gladly yielded to His Father's will.
It is amazing how many people still see God as distant and angry. For whatever their reason, they cannot see that it was the Father Himself who sent His Son into the world because of His great love for humanity. It was the Father who asked His beloved boy to exchange His life for our lives. It was the Father who suffered like no other father has ever suffered when He watched as Jesus took upon Himself the sin of the entire world.
When we see the high price that our Father paid for our redemption, we have no other choice but to respond to His love. That is what the Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 8:32 when he writes... “He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?”
My prayer today is that we would all see the price that our Heavenly Father paid when He sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. He did not do this in order to judge us, but to save us. I am so thankful that Jesus gladly obeyed the will of His Father so that we could be reconciled back to God. May the Holy Spirit give us more revelation on the eternal love that motivated Jesus' death, burial and resurrection.
God is not angry with us. He loves us with an everlasting love. The eternal plan for our salvation originated in His heart and was implemented by our glorious Brother, King, and Savior... our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21
“But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation; namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation. We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

FYI, colleen M's latest concerning a pattern 71111711117 is resonating with Pearl Kolleri's fairly recent work on the Menorah and they are bouncing off each other circling around THIS Friday, 10/26/18, being the 17th of the SECOND TISHRI. Esp n light of the Witness of TWO Sisters here, it seems colleen is again holding a live wire, Maranatha!
ReplyDeleteDan Matson's math patterns also point to 26th as an interesting day. We'll see soon enough, I guess.
DeleteIn looking at that number 71111711117, I just see the whole pattern of Creation being expressed, or witnessed. In the beginning was our God, after four millennia was the intervention of our God come in the Flesh, then after another two millenia of the church age followed by Christ's millennial reign comes the Eighth Day or Eternity with the completed victory declared and sealed by our God as well. The Aleph and the Tav--The Alpha and Omega encompassing all of His Creation. I'd definitely call that a live wire:-)
DeleteDear @family, just a couple of weeks ago I came across THE UNLEASHING YT channel, it's a young brother named Jared talking about endtimes events and even if I have to switch on subtitles sometimes as he's talking fast and mumbling a lot I absolutely love his encouraging intro (enjoy!) and his sober biblical view on things, please check out his channel if you haven't yet.
ReplyDelete@Brent Lohrenz I would recommend especially to you watching his latest message today with regards to the topic of 'following people / teachers' as you mentioned the Emmaus movement above. Always have in mind "It's endtimes!" so what kind would you expect new movements, "new" teachings or even awakenings in the church to be in the light of a firmly prophecied spiritual 100% decline all over?
Check out what Jared has to say about current New Age developments, this could also be a good hint and indicators for the above question about the US 'Space war budget'. I absolutely love his calm excitement and his subdued joy for the LORDs return (even in a ribby undershirt LOL!):

Annabel, I;ve listened to a lot of 'suits' in my day, but this fisherman's heart and enthusiasm are truly catching.
ReplyDeleteCY, I agree. Just watched him for the first time and he seems to be a very wise young man, especially regarding one's personal relationship and walk with Christ.
DeleteThanks to Annabel for sharing:-)
Yes, I watched it as well and was also impressed with him. : ) Thank you Annabel!
DeleteHe had me at "I listened to my mother."
DeleteAmen, CY. I love that:-D

Yes I listen to Jared at unleashing...and hubby does too. Real joy to see God people fervently watching the times.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to write the feelings that I've had in the past few days. As you know there have been family struggles with health back-and-forth to the doctors and labs and tests and so forth As I'm going thru these things I know that God gives peace that surpasses all understanding. At times the Lord's presence is so strong and my mind is brought to the thought of what it will be like in Heaven to be before the presence of God for eternity. O the joy, to hold on to the promises that he has given us. We must remember that we have cloud of witnesses watching and waiting to see our faithfullness to a God wh is forever faithful. This morning before leaving for church I I was attempting to untangle a nevklace. The moments went by ,at least 5 mins, . I began to think about how the Lord is untangling the mess here on Earth and waiting patiently for that last tangle to be unraveled, Perhaps an individual confused, or angry at christians or angry at God, or rather that last person to receive Jesus into their heart. As you watch and study, ,pray and witness, may the Lord give you peace and joy. Marantha.
ReplyDeleteGreat Amen!
DeleteThere was some big earthquake activity after midnight off of Vancouver Island. 6.8, 6.6 and a 6.5 as reported by USGS. Per Dutchsinse, this will have a hammering effect moving south along the West Coast to possibly produce a mag 7 within the next week or so. After looking at a lot of stuff yesterday along with what some other Watchfolk are saying, I really feel like there could be a 911 type of event occurring Friday, 10/26 that might be televised during Game 3 of World Series at Dodger Stadium. All of the Strong's numbers related to that game are ominous re destruction, overwhelming water, idolatry etc., but as always, it's wait and see.
ReplyDeleteChad @Watchman on the Wall 88 shared a rare dream on the 19th of a huge Tsunami. Colleen seeing the 911 with all of the hammering noise in the background of her last couple of videos, Rhonda Empson is seeing Baseball/World Series connections. And all of those 7's and 11's alone are telling any way you look at them.
I read a quote yesterday that said "With God, there is no coincidence, only synchronicity" and I do believe that's true.
So praying for everyone's protection and safety, but along with everything else going on in this world, it really is heads up time to be ready for anything as the warnings are everywhere.
I was led to look at Strong's Gk# 1471 yesterday regarding a number of consecutive games played at Dodger Stadium w/ with no rain outs in past 18 years.
Gk#1471--egkuos--swelling inside, i.e. pregnant--great with child. (1x in Luke 2:5 KJV)
Then I looked at the egem value of Santa Monica Bay--828
Gk#828--Augustus--(1x in Luke 2:1 KJV)
Taxing times and we are so close to delivery:-)
Sheila, please check out the following video about the origins of baseball:
Deletehttps://youtu.be/SLHrDXNtTlw
Found it today on my YT list, answers a lot of questions to me...
What's the title of that video, Annabel? I've looked at the origins on Wiki which reveals a rather tangled web touching on characters from the Prince of Wales to Abner Doubleday who with his wife was steeped in the demonic Theosophy system of esoteric knowledge. One thing I found interesting was that Elysian Fields in Hoboken, NJ is believed to be the birthplace of organized baseball and Dodger Stadium is located in a place called Elysian Park near downtown LA.
Delete"Elysian Fields" or "Elysium" originated from Greek mythology re the immortality bestowed by the "gods" upon heroes or mighty men to insure them a final retirement in some paradise-like place. It was also weird to read that in some traditions, to get there, one had 3 chances to live a pious life without misdeeds. Three strikes and you were out, I guess. So, going down the "origins" rabbit trail, it does look like the organized game of baseball has some deeply rooted occultic connections. Who knew...but then I never thought I'd see a ticket for one baseball game on the official ticket site sell for $941,200.00. (That's just idolatrous in itself, imho)
Sheila B., Annabel, et al, MANYFISH recently made several comments indicating a very occultic background behind the geometry of Baseball and the details of the game. In light of the details of what he alluded to, and his seemingly significant knowledge down that trail, ALL of what you are finding entangled with this most 'American' pastime fits and, as odd as it is against our popular worldview, does appear to be being unveiled, now, as nefarious and spiritually rebellious.
DeleteYou're right, Jimboni. He was pointing out all of the Masonic influences involved and I can really see why the "showcase" of this "favorite pastime" just might be where we witness something major occur this year. At any rate it seems to be another arrow.
DeleteAn article out today about a lioness at the Indianapolis Zoo that attacked and killed her long time mate--they can't explain this incredibly unlikely and unheard of scenario of an unprovoked female lion boldly attacking and killing the male she'd lived with for so long. The only thing they can surmise is that the male lion had never stood his ground with her.
But it's a perfect reflection of what this #me too movement has led to--these feminists who not only want to take men down, but totally destroy them in the process, Jezebel style.
It's another hammer of sorts.
Egem value of Hammer is 348
H#348--Izebel, or Jezebel.
G#348--anakopto--hinder, beat back, check
@Sheila the title of the video is "The Freemasonic Invention of Baseball - Bread and Circuses for the Sheeple" by aplanetruth.info YT channel. It refers to a webpage content from https://www.remnantradio.org/Archives/articles/Baseball/baseball.htm
DeleteThe question answered to me was a) why this game is so much popular especially in the US and nowhere else and b) why did I myself never ever understand the rules nor even could develop any interest for that special game (as I assume God protects me from so many occult things I didn't get to know in the past because I was simply not interested in them at all)...
Oh, and mentioning 'Many Fish' turns out he fell for the Freemasonic flat earth psyop like many others as he promotes this idea in a video 1 week ago. Just noticing. Hmmm...
PS: The Indianapolis Zoo incident with the lioness is possibly demonic Luke 8:31-33 We might expect more of this in our days now, just saying. Many years ago, when I was just newly saved myself, I tried to talk about the REAL Jesus with some friend of mine who was trapped in the charismatic movement obviously. She told me an absurd story of visiting some "Christian shaman healer" in Brazil with her family to cure her daughter from some illness during vacation. At this location, she reported of peacocks suddenly attacking each other fighting to death over night, hanging in the trees bloodbathed all over, a horrible scenery. Her description was giving me goosebumps and I sternly warned her of following this path. Never forgot that story. I learned to know her daughter later once, was a horrible kid spoiled rotten somehow. Never met with this friend again.
DeleteSmiles and Hugs, all. On this lioness sitch and Annabel's connection I suggest go bigger, MUCH bigger. Did you see the pic of the cop giving a ticket while a basketball-size spider comes sauntering up across the road to say Hi! The INVERSION of this LIONess situation, lying at the heart of its being virtually unprecedented, is of the same KIND. IF the Enemy is afoot, likely Cast Down last year as discussed in earlier threads, that, alongside what we ALL know is building, though we may struggle to nail it down, as the veil between worlds thins, we see THESE.
DeleteActs 2:17; Joel 2:28; Isaiah 44:3 Why? As the Enemy builds TECH to allow him to violate barriers, ala MOTB, and the impending REMOVAL of the RESTRAINT which has sheltered this very COSMOS from spiritual reality is foreshadowed, as frequencies shift, it seems, there is a new poison in the very waters in which we move and breath and have our being. It has been discussed on these threads, wearing many faces. Our Father MOVES to Counter that, for ALL, surely, but esp, FOR US, Maranatha!
Yes, Annabel, I picked up on Many Fish's FE bent last year, but he rarely mentions it and he just has a unique perspective on a lot of interesting current event info. I believe he's stated several times that he was at one time involved with Masonry in some way, but vehemently denounces that now. As always, and as he often suggests, our discernment is required on whatever he's sharing.
DeleteThis has gotten to be a very tricky world with a whole lot of land mines. I know I've tripped over a few of them myself. I just try to pray about each day every night and wake up with my feet on steady ground tomorrow. Blessings and Maranatha, Sister:-)
P.S. Also noting this possibly re the 3rd game on 10/26, Strong's Gk# 3 is Abaddon, angel of the abyss or destruction personified. It's found 1x in Rev. 9:11, (So destruction and 911 do go hand in hand. I wonder what, or "Who" made TPTB decide on that particular code number for emergencies? hmmm)
ReplyDeleteFWIW, on a whim:
DeleteH1026: Beth Haarabah: "place of the depression," a place near the Dead Sea (Josh 15:6)
G1026: brechó: to send rain, to rain (Matt 5:45)
Hmmmm....
again, FWIW, thinking after posting: a Tsunami bomb can work indirectly. In that case, the atomic doesn't create water displacement itself but, instead, triggers a massive geographic shift or event in a local area, rapidly displacing a significant area of the geographic vessel holding the water (sea basin, ex.). Such a device could trigger a massive collapse or sinking away of a floor substrate and the rapid drop of a few square miles of seashore of Jersey and, when the ocean rushes back IN to fill the sudden gap, well...
DeleteJimboni, that seems to resonate with reports on that Russian atomic sub "practicing" activities in the Arctic the past week and the US moving a rare ship in that direction to confront the issue.
DeleteSo many moving parts right now. Blessings and Maranatha!
Comment on Pearl's video Ultimate Convergence This Week, by Robert, concisely puts a connection you may have made already but seemed needing post here:
DeleteWow I have to show you something!! The 1989 world series earthquake happened at 5:04pm on Oct 17, 1989. It was during the 3rd game of the Series. In the year 1989 Oct 17 at 5:04 pm according to the Torah calendar it was Chesvan 16 in Los Angeles However it was already Chesvan 17 in Jerusalem. The moment the earthquake hit during the third game of the World Series it was Chesvan 17 in Jerusalem. This year 2018, Chesvan 17 falls on Oct 26 sunset until Oct 27 sunset. Vayera " and He Appeared." Certainly a time to watch!!!!
BTW, Pearl's latest ties 726 days from last Blood Moon of the tetrad to the Rev12 Sign 9/23 and now, we sit at 1 year+33 days additional Grace lands us to 10/26/18, ofc, Maranatha!
Jimboni, I looked at the Bing page this morning, and although the art is supposed to depict
Deleteliquid nitrogen in action, it seemed an apt illustration of your words re a Tsunami Bomb. It was an eye-opener for sure first thing.
And last night I dreamed of a huge vivid fiery explosion and a dead black horse laying on the ground. Probably stems from what all I've been reading and the weird way the brain tends to sort information, but I did remember that an old name for a baseball is the "horsehide". Irregardless, just knowing the seating capacity of these stadiums is enough to give me chills and inspire me to pray for so many. Fenway Park--37,305 Dodger Stadium--56,000.
Maranatha!!!
Well, well, well, sure seems we keep unearthing another little nugget after another here. I do recall bot "rawhide" and "horse hide" referring to Baseballs, although rawhide usually more the glove, though sometimes the ball as well. As to the horse, apart from recent wrestling with a certain WHITE horse, and in relevance by location, I find this:
DeleteLike most of New York City, Dead Horse Bay has a long history of changes. Over the years, much of old New York has been torn down, replaced, torn down again, and replaced again by new buildings and people, and the layers of history are all but forgotten. Not true at Dead Horse Bay, where remnants of the past litter the beach today.
Brighton Beach, Rockaway Point and Sheepshead Bay all in this area separating NYC from the vast Oceans blue, Maranatha!
Fenway Park--37,305 Dodger Stadium--56,000.
Delete3+7+3+5=18 1+8=9 5+6=11
911 ofc
Oh My...
DeleteJimboni, I'd never heard of Dead Horse Bay and in just checking that out, that's a terrible place with a horrible history. In fact, it looks like it's already been through the Apocalypse. Who in their right mind would take school kids on a field trip to a place like that? ugh!
DeleteThere is also a Dead Horse Beach located on the Salem Sound in Salem, MA , It's 20.9 miles via US 1 N. straight up the coastline from Fenway Park.
One interesting history given here regarding the Dead Horse Beach name. In the 1800's, horses that died in a war were buried on this beach, but the next day they were found dug up. And every time they tried to bury them, they kept reappearing. (IDK, wonder if they were taking the tide into account?)
Sheila B., et Fam, oh boy. My spirit is racing with this and it could well fall into the 'prevent by calling out' category, but, as larger wheels are in motion, NOW, a declaration here is likely meaningless, in that sense. Sure, once AGAIN, it could be NOTHING, but, like a DELIVERY, while MANY false labors come and go, ULTIMATELY there is a ONE. We have HAMMERED that point here, before, as in, 'when the COIN drops', etc. Alongside what I am about to convey is my other point that the lynchpin (Gordian Knot) In ALL of this is THE MIDNIGHT CRY: 7 Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. 8The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’ As we are now a pack of a bit more seasoned Rabbi's, we all understand this will likely be fulfilled in layers, or foreshadowing 'twins', with one major 'hit'. THE Midnight Cry.
DeleteHere is what I SEE. Ground penetrating devices (aka Radar, but not necc.) identify existing huge caverns off the NY coast. We're talking a cavern the size of the STATE OF NEW JERSEY, here, family. Submarine planted nuke pops the roof/seabed with a focused charge, likely aka the one used in RAF's Operation Chastise of May 1943 with effect similar to the underground detonation of the Grand Slam and Tallboy earthquake bombs. (The inventor of the first such bomb was the British engineer Barnes Wallis, also the Grand Slam and Tallboy earthquake bombs, both of which he also invented. -- Wikipedia The Bouncing Bomb) NOTE: While noted, historically, for delivery of being skipped across water like skipping a stone, that wasn't the big point, militarily. The BIG point is that you do NOT impact the target but detonate a bitt OFF OF IT. As H20 won't compress, the impact is magnified massively EXPONENTIALLY. There was a PBS special on this years ago. If the explosion was an extremely compact nuclear device the resulting magnification could so focus the blast as to literally fracture crust beneath it, barring a significant GAP.
So, at moment long decided upon, a device goes 'pop', more likely, several, over an area, arriving on drones. The resulting Chastise Effect.) effectively vaporizes a few SQUARE MILES OF SEAFLOOR, INSTANTANEUOSLY, off of NYC. It will record as an earth quake, the blast focused downward and all the thrust going INTO the cavern. Just to keep it simple, lets say the cave is 12x12x12 miles. That's approximately 305,229,732,672,000 POUNDS (US, sorry) of water DROPPING 12 MILES and that does not account for the volume of water moved to replace that 1,570 CUBIC MILES of water when it moves first. Assuming an average speed of descent of 100 mph it hits bottom in 7.5 minutes, falling 12 MILES and the back splash likely doesn't full develop for another 15-30 minutes. OK, let's say it's only a MILE DEEP, should make for some GREAT TV!
Oh, I'd never heard of Dead Horse Bay, either. When I read your dream, The Spirit Told me, "Google 'dead black horse' and I will show you." So I did. Nothing. "Go to next page." OK. Nope, nuffin. "Go to next page." OK, well, it's baseball, third swings the charm, what's this? Dead Horse Bay? Hmm, where is it? Oh! NYC, well my, oh my, Maranatha!
DeleteGet your popcorn folks. The show's about to start. I can smell it in the air. Hey! Who threw that? Anyway look up, that's one heck of a screen!
DeleteFWIW, Salem Sound in Salem, MA (Dead Horse Beach, you mentioned) seems to have been one 'Salem' NOT traversed by either of the recent eclipses which crisscrossed the USA. Last occurrence of an eclipse I could find was The Great New England Eclipse of1932. This seems to affirm this as a 'non-hit' also affirming the 'on target' details of the other, amen?
DeleteLOL, yes I am with you on that, Jimboni. It just sounded like a better beach to visit. That Dead Horse Bay just looks frightening already, but then that explosion in the dream was frightening as well. I have the feeling re any world series event that might occur would likely be on the west coast side of it, anyway. And all implications so far re the east coast have involved just what you are describing. Do you remember back when Many Fish was talking about Babylon Canyon just off the coast of New York and the coordinates involved? I was wondering today whether Dead Horse Bay might fit into those coordinates in some way but I don't know how to do that kind of stuff. Anyway, I do feel you are on the right track here and I suppose such set ups could even extend down to other strategic points to take out the whole eastern seaboard if they so desire.
DeleteI don't know about everybody else, but I do believe the time frame has been whittled down in such an awesome and merciful fashion and now it's finally go time. (and I know He put a few fresh soldiers out there, too, just to help encourage us all toward that finish line. SO amazing:-) Maranatha!
Sheila B., please understand, I meant no elbow poke with the comment at all. You've got to think of me more like Dr. Vinkman, in Ghostbusters, or, in this case, maybe Egon. We lean so heavily on associations and clues that being able to "non" verify a "non" association provides a stark contrast, solidifies the Witness of other 'Finds', and demonstrates, both for our own calm and for onlookers, that we Honestly pursue Truth in our digs, amen. That that particular 'Salem' was NOT on the Eclipses path (http://blog.chrisify.com/2017/08/the-seven-salems-of-eclipse-coincidence.html) Witnesses to it NOT being INTENDED to be associated here. When you really wrap your head around THAT, and look at it from the perspective of Logic and Critical Thinking 101, Moriarty could provide no more clear a 'hidden' non-clue, intended to be found by Sherlock Holmes, than this one, and it truly helps Validate ALL our other work, Maranatha!
DeleteMiguel P., Ha! You actually ARE Phil Collins' alter-ego, I KNEW IT! Maranatha!
DeleteSheila B., et fam, another RabbiTrail, I clearly recall from a few years ago, the online Evan-ET dreams & visions, et al included those focused on NY and Wall St being submerged in Tsunami as Babylon Falling n an Hour. Pretty sure Todd @ ITISFINISHED covered synchronicities in his walks in Baltimore seeing billboards re floods and such, less than a year ago. Poss also relevant now in light of his recent tumble, PTL! he is so jack be nimble, amen!
DeleteJimboni, it took me a minute to get the Miguel/Phil Collins ref...duh, his In the Air Tonight song. A little slow this morning, but yes, sort of the old process of elimination regarding the clues and always appreciated. Following the wrong carrot just sends one backtracking up the bunny trail. The details of that Eclipse were perfect in their message and it did traverse 7 Salems if I remember right, which would indicate a completeness of Salems there, so good sleuthing as always!
DeleteMight there also be a connection with the Dodgers and Dead Horse Bay? Before their move to the opposite coast, the LA Dodgers used to be the Brooklyn Dodgers.
DeleteOK, you stay at this a while and you get a eye for some things. BOTH MANYFISH & Mike444's YTC vids today caught mine. Esp MANYFISH both for the content tying baseball, the impending World Series and other things together, but EVEN MORE than that was his clear Spirit-Led Unction with Urgency to get this data OUT THERE NOW. Watch his video, while keeping in mind how this thread has developed here: bit by bit, loose association, quiet 'aha' moments, and you will likely find, as did I, that his work is tuning in to the SAME data stream which we are here, now and, in his spirit, he is hearing a directive to TELL IT to us (affirm? Witness? Encourage? Inform?). Mike444's video about the West Coast is about to get HAMMERED, well, the word stood out, ofc. While checking these out, listen to that quiet, still voice in your spirit and see if it isn't affirming ALL of this as connected, Maranatha!
DeleteOk guys, back up for a second, Jimboni you blew right over what you said is separating NYC from the vast oceans blue - BRIGHTon Beach, ROCKaway Point, SHEEPS HEAD Bay
DeleteBRIGHT - H216 - 'owr - Bright - Habakuk 3:4 - And his brightness was as the light and he had horns coming out of his hand, and there was the hiding of his power. Psalm 78:14 In the daytime he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. Ezek 32:7 . . . and the moon shall not give her light. and finally - Micah 7:8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall ARISE: when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a LIGHT unto me.
ROCK - H6697 - tsuwr - cliff, sharp rock, also an edge (as precipitous) strength, Mighty God, strong Habakkuk 1:12 - . . . O mighty GOD (tsuwr), thou hast established them for correction.
SHEEPSHEAD = Yeshua
There's also something with Beach, Point and Bay - it seems to be location pointing - perhaps to the Bay, but i don't have it yet. Praying
Blessings - Sherry
Jeff, missed that one, Wow! This is one big ball of yarn stretching from coast to coast!
DeleteAnd Sherry, really good catch, too. It takes a praying team to cover all the bases. Water Hammer popped up in my notes again re a Tsunami and touches on your input.
Egem val is 750:

Jimboni, looking up Many Fish!
A post by Kimberly on this week's Five DOves had some data which caught my eye, esp in relation to 10/26 and wanted to share:
DeleteNot long ago, I counted inclusive days from the first blood moon that occurred on Passover (April 15, 2014) thru the 17th of Cheshvan (October 26, 2018). The count is 1,656 days. The number of years from Adam to the flood is 1,656 years. Could a day for a year be applied to this count? Time will tell if anything of significance will happen on this date, but I don't believe the 1,656 day count is a coincidence. It could be one more proof that the current Hebrew calendar is correct.
So, 'as in the DAYS of Noah, certainly comes to mind in answer to Kimberly's question, but not by water, this time, but by FIRE, Maranatha!
DeleteJeff, not wanting to HAMMER a DEAD HORSE here, but, your Q certainly deserves a thought, esp in light of some apparent entanglement amongst those players. While I've learned to respect a Dead End when it feels Spoken to be one, as per the comments re that trail bearing such apparent Marks of being tagged, specifically, as tangential, at most, your very question highlights details which beg a moment. (Am I not an absolute Master of the run-on sentence?) Two thoughts spring up.
DeleteFirst, it is only consistent that anything Our Lord Has Put His Hand Upon will bear His Excellence and Imprint. That even tangential things here would 'echo' along similar lines also affirms. However, it can be very tricky, as we are out of our natural element in these waters. Thus, as I in-artfully tried to show, my experience is Our Lord provides non-clue affirmations when something is a tangent, but along for the ride. I sense that is at work here.
Second, number 1 notwithstanding, right away a team RETURNING to their place of BIRTHING after CHANGING THEIR NAME to include City of the ANGELS, and the dawn of that tale involving Brooklyn, now associated with Dead Horse Bay, by virtue of our work, esp in light of the dark underside of the Principalities and Powers of THAT neck of the woods, begs a study of "Brooklyn" etc., as per our usual. However, as per #1, my spirit tells me that is a squandering, where echoes will be found but not contribute much.
Phil Collins alter ego. Lol. "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord!"
DeleteToo funny. Anyway, Gotta go play some baseball now... yeah, they call me slugger. Bases are loaded, I'm going to knock one outta the park.... it's the bottom of the ninth but I think we got a few extra innings because our rivals not willing to lose.
Funny, Miguel:-D
DeleteThe main connection I would see just on the surface between Brooklyn (NYC area) and LA in this ball of yarn is that they may both see devastation hit about the same time in a 1-2 punch. How does that Lee Greenwood song go...from Detroit down to Houston AND NEW YORK TO LA, well there's pride in every American heart....pretty song, but I believe the days of taking God's blessings for granted are just about up. It can and will be taken away with so few paying Jesus Christ any mind at all. If only they desired to know Him.
Sheila B., good call. I like the TWINS dynamic there. Judgment has been spoken against both cities and they both embody Mystery Babylon in their own ways. That that team would circle around and be back in one bearing the name of the other when BOTH are hit, well now, sometimes Our lord just likes to show off a bit, it would seem, Maranatha!
Delete@Jimboni IDK about anything you point out about underground caverns and such things to blow NYC up but I just noticed Br Chad (Watchman on the Wall 88) and many commenteers have got dreams about huge WAVES coming in on the East Coast. Might be a special warning for the US brethren?? As well some movie remake of 'Hunt of Red October' is released called 'Hunter Killer' (reminds me of Nimrod?), Scott Clarke releases a song named 'Red Wave'...
Delete@Miguel dear brother, in fact 'In the Air Tonight' was one of my favourites at sweet 16, a classmate was a Genesis fan back then and soon I was too... LOL! I know, all this kind of music is secular but lateron I loved this progressive rock and bombastic orchestration. Pink Floyd, Manfred Mann, Mike Oldfield or Queen also were of those style I loved although I never posessed any LP as I was not rich enough to buy them all. I remember 'Early Morning Onwards' by Barclay James Harvest was my first LP I ever posessed. Memories... ;-) I used to record from the radio onto audio cassette a lot, this was much cheaper! But since Jesus found me - strange enough - I hardly listen to any secular music. (I also loved the opera a lot and had a lot of CDs.) Not only because I dont use any turntable, audo cassette or CD-player anymore. IDK it somehow distracts me too much, I'm not used to this anymore. But if I hear it I can remember all the lyrics of most of them...
Pearl's recent spoke of "Convergence" and the convergence we are seeing around 10/26 seems significant, esp along the lines of 2 or more Witnesses speaking as urged. Above I posted thoughts from Kimberly at The Five Doves concerning the Day count form the 1st Blood Moon of the 2014-2015 Tetrad to 10/26/18 (1,656 days) = the year count from the Creation to the Flood.
DeleteToday, TheHumbleHorse YTC posted, "There's a storm coming'" video, all of 1 minute, 17 seconds, to highlight this same fact.
As it was in the DAYS of Noah so it shall be at the time of the Coming of the Son of Man, Maranatha!

ReplyDeleteA SON IS HOLY
In this week's blog, I am talking about holiness. The Greek word for 'to make holy' in Hebrews 2:11 is the word 'hag-ee-ad'-zo' which means to ceremonially purify or consecrate; to sanctify. This is the same word used in Romans 15:16 where Paul writes that the offering of the Gentiles is 'sanctified' by the Holy Spirit.
In 1 Peter 1:15-16, we read the following exhortation...
“But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” If we look at this command to 'be holy as God is holy' in our own natural ability, we will most certainly feel completely overwhelmed. For in our hearts we know that the truth is, no matter how good we can try to be, it is simply not possible to live up to God's standards in our human effort.
Romans 3:10 clearly tells us that there is no one who is righteous...not one. James affirms this by saying that if we keep all of the law every day of our lives and just make one tiny mistake, it is as if we have broken the entire law (James 2:10). So it is obvious that the road to holiness is definitely not based upon on our natural ability to keep the law because we just can't do it.
I think that it would be safe to say that in most Christian circles, we would all theologically agree that holiness is not produced from our own actions but on Christ and on His shed blood alone. After all, Hebrews 10:10 tells us... “And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
While we may all agree that Hebrews 10:10 is a theological truth, how does it work out in our lives on a day to day basis? Do we live each day knowing that we are completely loved and accepted by God no matter what we do? Do we live our Christian life with the life changing realization that the finished work of Christ on the cross was enough? Do we truly believe that that we are holy even as Jesus is holy even when we fail? ...Or do we still act as if our sanctification is the result of our own self-effort?
Unfortunately the definition of holiness in many evangelical circles is more about our behavior modification rather than our being a completely new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). The truth is that if holiness is something that I can do in my own strength by keeping the law, then Christ died in vain (Galatians 2:21).
Even though I know that I have already been made holy by the blood of the Lamb, there are still days when I act as if it is something that I am supposed to make happen in my own strength. If you are anything like me, you may wrestle with this from time to time too. It is a kind of a spiritual schizophrenia where we live our lives pulling out flower petals repeatedly saying "He loves me, He loves me not" depending upon our performance and our circumstances.
It is at these times that we may find it easier to believe that we are holy on the good days when we read our Bible, pray and maybe witness to others. But what about on the bad days? ...When we are discouraged, fearful and not full of faith? Can we believe that we are still absolutely loved and set apart for His purposes in these dark and lonely times?
The remnant of the orphan heart that still remains in us struggles to believe that God's love and His extravagant grace and mercy are more than enough. The part of us that has not yet surrendered to love still believes that we have to do something in order to be accepted.
(pt. 2.)
ReplyDeleteI know that this is a poor example, but our son Steve will always be an 'Adams'. He was born into our family and will carry our name no matter what he does in life. He didn't do anything to earn being part of our family, he was simply born into it. I think this is but a shadow of what it means to be born into the family of God. When we become born again, we inherit everything good that is in God's family. Jesus' holiness, His righteousness, His relationship with God... everything!
To walk in holiness is not to live by a set of do's and don'ts in our lives, but to simply live out of the new spiritual DNA that God has already deposited in us by His Holy Spirit. We are God's kids (1 John 3:1) and are partakers of His divine nature (2 Peter 1:4)! The only reason we are holy is because our Father and our Big Brother are holy! ...Not because we could do anything to ever earn it, deserve it or sustain it.
I believe that our God and Father wants to love all of the remaining orphan beliefs right out of us and convince us that the shed blood of Jesus is enough. Period. My prayer today is that our Heavenly Father would give us a deeper revelation of the 'once and for all sacrifice' of our Elder Brother Jesus.
I pray that we would all know beyond a shadow of a doubt that our holiness, our righteousness, our sanctification, and our eternal acceptance is not rooted in our own efforts but in the everlasting and immeasurable love of God. I pray that we would know that God already sees us as holy because of our union with the Firstborn of many brothers and sisters (Romans 8:29).
The unalterable fact that Jesus is not ashamed to call us His brothers and sisters should cause us to shout the good news from the rooftops! We share the same spiritual DNA as God Himself (1 John 3:9) and as a result, we share in His holiness too!
Does this give us a license to go out and sin? God forbid! (Romans 6:1-2) I believe the more that we are able to believe that we are completely loved and accepted now, the more we will respond to this love by living a life worthy of our calling. (Ephesians 4:1)
May each and every person who has called on the name of the Lord know that we have been made holy simply because we have been joined to Jesus who has become our righteousness and our sanctification (2 Corinthians 5:21). May this good news cause you to cease from your own self effort and enter into the glorious Sabbath rest of Almighty God (Hebrews 4:9-11) and sink into your new identity as a much loved, holy, child of the Most High.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
“May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

TY, Nora. After looking out there around the world, it's always good to look right back up to our Lord to remind us to give thanks that our portion is not with the world. Blessings, Sister:-)

DeleteKay Tdid has a brief video (1968 Prophecy Coming to Pass ...) on the large caravan of people trying to reach the U.S. after arriving in Mexico. Other sites have been discussing the increased growth of this caravan of people as high as 10,000.
ReplyDeleteKay's emphasis is on the 1968 prophecy by the 90-year-old woman from Norway. Kay discussed the 4th calamity that was the immigration from poor countries to Europe. Kay seeing this latest immigration attempt as another marker to the beginning of the tribulation before the 1968 prophecy by this woman from Norway of a nuclear war (WWIII, a short war) with the U.S., Japan, Australia, and other wealthy countries fleeing to these poorer countries and treated as they had been along with Jesus coming soon. Kay's concern to believe today!

1968 Prophecy by 90 Year Old Woman in Norway
90 year old woman
Cathi, TY. I've heard about this, but first time I've read her words. I was also reading somewhere recently about wealthy people going into third world countries and buying up properties as sheltering places. I don't remember all of the details, but it surely fits that prophetic word. I know it can't go like this for much longer and it was even more encouragement that she saw Jesus coming first before WWIII breaks out and that those who's faith is in Him are safe, even back in 1968.
DeleteI was out at the edge of the driveway this morning with the dog and I noticed something I hadn't seen before and stood there and watched a bit. There's three cow pastures out there in close proximity. In the corner of each pasture stood a huge bull. One black, One red, One gold colored, all weighing at least 2000 lbs. They were huffing and puffing, snorting and stomping and generally challenging each other with loud bellows. The only thing standing between any of those bulls was 8' of pavement on either side and some flimsy posts and wire they call fencing around here. None of it even hot. But those bulls, for whatever reason, apparently and thankfully respect that boundary. It just made me think about all the war drums beating so loudly and steadily among the nations, yet not one major war will begin until our Lord, Himself pulls the wire and allows it AFTER He's removed his Body to safety.
Blessings, Sister and Maranatha!
Thanks, Sheila. I had read her message prophecy a long while back or a part of it but didn't believe it as I usually am more sleptical of these type of things. I was outside and ended up visiting with an elderly neighbor woman and her neighbor who has befriended me - but we are not on the same page amd iIhave had to look at my motives and beliefs on things because of her situation and the differences here in what being a Christian means Anyhow, I asked if they had knowledge of the latest immigration efforts into the U.S. As usual, an argument with the younger woman (10 years younger than I) about this and the beginnings of our country, in being for the underdog, etc. ensued. The elderly woman said what is this world coming to as she raised her hands like upward into the air. I should have prayed. Prayed hard. She expressed her older age and in not being here (a good thing) to see any of it! I said, I am looking for the rapture by Jesus and I won't be here either and chuckled. I didn't think to pray, asking for help to use this to the best advantage ... I worry about saying the gospel all over the place or in a judgemental way, being ostracized, etc. It's the best I could do, I guess. Somehow, no one said anything else and the moment passed.
DeleteI came in the house and listened to Linda at WGON on the information she had on the U.N, the founder of the PanEuropean migration solution, overpopulation and having 2-3 children and all of this. She wondered about this group of people seemingly dressed well, having backpacks, growing in numbers quickly, supported by Soros and all of that ... All part of the puzzle I am sure.
Cathi, regarding your neighbor conversation, I think you did fine mentioning the rapture as your blessed hope. People can ASK if they don't understand and want to know more 1 Peter 3:15 and it is not unusual to not 'speak in parables' to people to MAKE them ask Mark 4:34 to discern who is perhaps meant to be a real disciple of Christ and who is a simple worldling who is not chosen. I cannot talk with anyone outside my house about any of heavenly things myself for over two years now John 3:12 so I think your attempt was already more than you could expect these days... Revelation 22:11 Blessings to you! ;-)
DeleteThank you, Annabel. Really. Thank you for taking the time to be encouraging. I liked your verses used too except maybe not as much the Revelation 22:11 verse. Tho, I understand what you are saying. You know, I only looked at the elderly woman as I made that one comment as she is a bit more open and she was the one asking the question. Tho, I know I am cowardly (I was afraid to even look at the other person).
DeleteGary at Unsealed has a new article, Here It Comes the Middle East Peace Plan.
DeleteYes, it's getting where if we get a chance to say much of anything re our faith and hope, it is a miracle and if it happens, I figure it's the Lord who has opened that door. Cathi, I'm glad you stated your faith, Sister. It's up to Him to open their ears and the blessing is that you can pray for that to happen.
DeleteThis would be funny if it wasn't actually sad--this lady called last week looking for some work on her house. Billy was in Ft. Worth, so I chatted with her about what all she needed done. She seemed really nice. Her name is Grace and she is 74 yrs old and shared some of her health issues with me and said she lived with another elderly lady--kinda like two old maids helping each other out in life. I'd mentioned Jesus Christ as the source of my faith, hope and strength and she seemed quite receptive to that. So I thanked the Lord and prayed for her to seek Him if she hasn't. They live about 45 miles north of us.
So Billy called her when he came in and arranged to go up there to do this work that would take a few days. He bought the materials and Dalian went with him. He came in this evening with a weird look on his face. I said "What's wrong?" He said, "Did you know those two old ladies are nudists and there's a nudist colony out there?" He never jokes about a job so I just said "Please tell me they had their clothes on". They did, but they cheerfully explained about the colony and said they sometimes had a hard time getting people to come out there and do work. I said, "Well, what are you gonna do, Hon?" He said, "Well, they'll keep their clothes on and I'll finish the job I started, but I guess you need to be praying for them." Some days are just more unbelievable than others. Even so, Lord, come QUICKLY!
Oh Sheila, this to just too funny! Too funny. Unbelievable. She probably didn't have the heart to tell you and gratefully they put their clothes on. Is this nudist colony open all yesterday round?
DeleteOops, I meant open year round.
DeleteThank you, too for your words regarding telling someone what you believe. She told me I think earlier spring on going to a convention with them the previous year ... I told her to just tell them that all you need to do is believe in Jesus.
Lol. Sheila, I am going to be chuckling about this later tonight. I won't be able to help myself. I mean really, what are the odds? I bet your husband's expression was priceless.
DeleteIt was a strange look for sure, Cathi. I just asked him about the year-around thing. Now I'm laughing. He yelled at me, "I don't know! She said most of them stay down on the other end of the woods. Why are you even asking me that?!!"
DeleteI said my friend Cathi wanted to know and ran. He's grumpy this time of night:-D
Sheila B., I think that this time, you let him sleep, Maranatha!
DeleteSage advice:-)
DeleteSheila, if you do a research on the history and origins of nudism / naturalism you will end up with my German people having spread this idea all over the globe around/after the late 1800s / early 1900s (yes I'm very sorry). If you examine it on a spiritual level you can see Satan at work with both moral liberalism in society and left-wing political socialism / communism and the origins of both world wars in Germany (the more I think of it, the more it makes me humble how God could even think to choose Germans into His kingdom just by grace). Since the aggravating migrant crisis from mainly Islamic countries, nudism is in decline now and burka style is on the rise. The age of your neighbors tell me they're still 1968s activists perhaps? LOL! :-D
Deletehttp://www.wikiwand.com/en/Naturism_in_Germany
Spot on, Annabel although I never would've suspected German origins, but she did tell them she's been part of that camp since 1964. I knew they had a famous one in the Austin area called Hippy Hollow, but I never knew they had one going out there in the middle of nowhere. I just can't imagine why a bunch of elderly people want to run around in the woods like that. Besides it just not being a pretty sight to behold, the bugs and snakes alone would deter me from such unseemly behavior:-/
DeleteCathi, while hearing Dalian's take on the whole thing this morning, I was ROTFL. Have to share it with you one day:-D
DeleteCNN: Bible Museum says five of its Dead Sea Scrolls are fake
ReplyDeleteCNN: Bible Museum says five of its Dead Sea Scrolls are fake.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/22/us/bible-museum-fake-scrolls/index.html
What should we make of this?
John 14:26
DeleteI just read the article, Miguel. I found an interesting article from Dec.14, 2017 @WSJ titled "Who Owns the Dead Sea Scrolls?" regarding the State contention over and the protection of the Scrolls. Odd that this museum would even be able to purchase such a thing anyway. Hmmm...but why this story now....I'm sure there's a reason behind it.
DeleteI wouldn't read much into it. It doesn't say that the DSC were fake, just that the ones that the Museum of the Bible thought they had brought were fake (so far). It clearly notes that fakes came onto the market around 2002 to make the most of naive evangelicals (summarised anyway)
DeleteThanks for your insight guys and gal. I found it really annoying that the article had the overall tone of shooting down the credibility of the Bible, yet did not explain whether any particular accepted passage is discredited or under question because of this event. Honestly, it felt a little like a soft start of the strong delusion, or at least a piece of the foundation. It makes me angry that this kind of reporting is allowed, yet I understand it is just the evil world we live in. Maranatha!
DeleteMiguel,, that's the vibe I picked up from the reporting as well--an opportunity to cast doubt on Scripture validity as a whole and also another opportunity to malign the Hobby Lobby folks as they are still fumed at over their win in the Supreme Court and their right to reject pro-choice provisions for their employees.
Deleteinteresting comment from the Jordanian Minister in that he believes the annexes in the peace treaty won't be re-established and the thing they are worried about is how to cancel the leases to Israel quickly.
ReplyDeleteWhile the media are saying that the cancellation is due primarily to the desire by Jordan to align themselves with Islamic nation interests, I think they are actually wanting to utilise this as 'bargaining chips' for Trumps peace plan when it comes out. Jordan is stuffed with the refugee issues and possibly want something they can use to squeeze some more concessions out of the US re foreign aid.
The fascinating thing about all of this (apart from the obvious regarding the 'island of peace' concept etc) is that Israel may well use this as a 'well stuff you Jordan, we are going to start making greater moves on the temple mount etc' and may actually be another nail in the 'third temple never happening' coffin.
So just picking up on Cathi G's comment to share the bible, it is incredibly difficult to do it with strangers.. But this was my experience yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOne of my colleages came over to me for a brief meeting, and when she left, I got the feeling, prompting to send her an email about the Lord and Salvation, and the impending end times. So I composed an email saying it was not business related, but I felt prompted to share.. and I attached two documents that list off how to be saved, and a few fulfilled prophesies, including the Sept 23 sign last year being a sign to all believers that the end times was upon us. It always helps to demonstrate that the bible is a real, 100% accurate, "actual recorded words of God" book, and not just a load of "made up stories" as many people think. I ended the email declaring that the end times could be very very soon, like in the next couple of weeks.
No reply from her for about and hour, and I thought, "Oh no.. I have offended her." and Then lo and behold, she replied, and said "your too late, I gave my life to Jesus about 25 years ago, she too believed we were in the end times, but she said she didnt think it was that close, she said her pastor never mentions the end times, then asked what Church was I with, and invited me to her Church... Alarm bells.. How can a pastor not be talking about the impending End Times.. I just replied, I am not with a Church, that I just read the bible myself, and follow online surmons..
Now I am thinking God just wanted me to see if I would be obedient, and he gave me an easy one as starters.. And also, perhaps, that message of impending End Times, was a message she needed to hear, and who knows, maybe a seed of urgency was planted that might bear fruit.. I pray that is the case..
The 2nd sharing that day was a lot harder for me to do.. So as I already had the email typed up, that I had sent to the lady above, I just had to change some small details to send to the other person I wanted to say it to.. a much tougher email to send, as the young man is Gay, is planning to marry his boyfriend this year, and sits opposite me.. He is a quiet and shy man, and my heart breaks for him, (He never revealed to me he is Gay, but someone else told me), that someone so sensitive and quiet in nature, could be doomed. I felt for a few weeks that I should share, but it is not easy, there was never the right moment, and it just felt like you are delivering the most devastating news to someone that, their lifestyle will cause them damnation unless they repent.
So I sent the email, and word documents, (obviously I didnt mention anything about being gay, just about end times, and how to be saved) @ 5pm literally the moment before I left the office, so that I wouldn't have to make eye contact with him and see the uncomfortable expression on his face, as one could have when confronted with such content that makes one look at where they choose to spend their eternity. I am off work today, so I will only see him tomorrow. I hope it wont be awkward. But God knows my intention, and I was just trying to obey a gentle nudge.
Just wanted to share.
Awesome Jimboni! Your story reminds me of the story of the man in the Bible whom Jesus healed and who Jesus said not to tell anyone. Chuck Missler used to muse that 'Jesus told him not to tell anyone, (about the healing) and he told everyone...Jesus now tells us to tell everyone (about Jesus) and we tell no-one!' Seeds may be ignored, trampled into the dirt, spat on and some even uprooted after initial growth, however we praise God that our job is simply to scatter the seed and to water it, but it is God and God alone who causes the seed to grow, so he is the one who ultimately wears the rejection (if there is any).
DeleteLuke 10:16
John 15:18
Mark 16:15
Lord bless your seed which has been sown into the heart of this young man. We pray in Jesus name that it would be planted in fallow soil, and that your Holy Spirit will soften this mans heart to hear your heart for him through Jimbonis words. Amen!!
Thanks Through and Through, Yes we can only scatter the seed, All glory to God who can cause the seed to grow and multiply.
DeleteThrough and Through ... That is just too funny! Sad but true.
DeleteJordan, it is wonderful what you did for your co-workers. I at first had a thought that maybe God wanted you to go with her to her church and meet this pastor ... Your co-worker may be starting to think of approaching the pastor on the subject of end times, hmm. These are my thoughts only, tho.
I can't help but say bravo for telling the young gay person who even sits next to you about Jesus! It isn't our job to point out sins and all of that (look at all those who "live together", as an example). It is all about believing in who Jesus Christ is and the work that He did in suffering and dying for our sin and He being the one and only sacrifice accepted by God to pay the penalty for our sin. Not our goodness. Olive Tree Views/Jan Markell radio program this last Saturday was on homosexuality and she had good guests on the show who have various ministeries. You can even call and talk to someone if your struggling in this area - Steve Bennett at 800-832-3623, I think my scratchy notes say. And, his wife has a book out, "Until Your Prodigal Comes Home". There is a ministry called camptablerock.com (Mark Henry, I think) ...
Jordon, praying in agreement with Ryan and praying for the Lord to bless your boldness. That is a hard thing to do in today's insane climate, but regardless of the immediate outcome, you put Christ first and hopefully this person will answer that knocking at his door real soon. Many More Blessings, Brother:-)
Deleteoops apologies Jordan (not Jimboni)
DeleteT&T, agreed, a Testimony Glorifying to Our Lord, surely, but also, surely, not mine, Maranatha!
DeleteThanks Annabel for pointing to "The Unleashing" YTC, I had stumbled upon him once or twice before, and didn't think too highly, was turned off with his sort of muscle top vests, and outward appearance, and one or two videos are with him and his friend sitting on camping chairs, drinking out of flasks, and it didn't appear really God like.. But then after your recommendation about his channel, I decided to watch one of his videos through to the end, and I was blown away, by his knowledge and wisdom about the end times, the coming Alien deception, and his math regarding the lining up of events still being a very much all systems go for 2018 End of Oct, Beginning of Nov.
ReplyDeleteDear brother, TY very much for this comment! We can all learn from that how we tend to look on the outward appearance first before even hearing a person... ;-) That's a very good lesson to learn from God. James 2:1-9 Much love & blessings to you!

ReplyDeleteA SON TAKES THE LOWEST SEAT
Quite a few years ago, my wife and I experienced a real life example of this week's focus Bible verse. A good friend of ours was speaking at a big conference and we went to see him. Since we arrived just before the meeting was about to begin, the only seats that were available were near the back of the auditorium.
Though there were a few different places that we could have chosen to sit, in my heart, I felt prompted to choose the absolutely furthest two seats from the stage. We were happy to sit there and didn't think much of it. A few minutes later, a man showed up and escorted us to the front row where two seats were waiting for us.
Apparently my friend had asked the church staff to look out for us and make sure that we had primo seats for the meeting. The funny thing was, because of our close proximity to the stage, one of the cameras broadcasting on the big screen and live on the web was pointed on us from time to time.
It was then that I felt God remind me of this principle in the Kingdom that Jesus referred to in Luke 14:7-11 when He told this parable...
He spoke a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats, and said to them, “When you are invited by anyone to a marriage feast, don’t sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him, and he who invited both of you would come and tell you, ‘Make room for this person.’ Then you would begin, with shame, to take the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
If we read this story from an orphan based mentality, it may reaffirm a twisted mindset of what servanthood is all about. If we don't see it through the lens of love, we may interpret what Jesus is saying something like this... Because you have little value to God, don't think too highly of yourself either.
If you read this parable from that perspective, you will continually look for opportunities to reaffirm that belief. Instead of seeing yourself as a greatly loved son or daughter to the Father, you will settle for a lowly servanthood where you seek to establish your identity through your service.
(pt.2.)
ReplyDeleteIt is true that sons do make the best servants (Matthew 23:11) but it is not our service that qualifies us for sonship! The more that we know that we are loved by God, the less we will have to reaffirm our insecurities through counterfeit expressions of servitude. The more that we live in love, the less we will look for ways to justify our place in Papa's house.
When the love of the Godhead begins to ruin us for anything else, we will begin to see that true humility is not about us thinking less of ourselves but rather thinking of ourselves less! As a result, we do not have to be on the lookout at every occasion to take the biggest, best, most honored seat in the house because we are happy to take the lowest seat and leave the chair of honor for someone else.
If someone comes to us and invites us to the chair of honor, great! If not, no problem because it really isn't important anyway. As long as it is important to us, there might be something of an orphan mindset lingering that Papa still wants to love out of us.
My prayer today is that we would all be so filled with the revelation of God's everlasting love for us, that where we sit would become inconsequential. I pray that our identity and self worth would no longer rise and fall by the affirmation of man. I pray that we would not need to be affirmed, recognized and validated as being worthy of the seat of honor because we have been affirmed, recognized and validated by the One whose opinion of us really matters (and that is Almighty God!).
So the next time you get a chance to choose a seat, remember that you are a much loved child of the Most High who is happy to leave the chair of honor open for someone else. :)
John 13:4-6
"Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God, and was going to God, arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist. Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him."

Promise #296:
ReplyDeleteI have given you My Spirit, so your body could be My temple.
1 Corinthians 6:19
"Or don’t you know that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you,
which you have from God? You are not your own..."
God's Holy Spirit is the very core of His being, just like our spirit is the very essence of our existence. It is amazing to think that He has entrusted us with His precious Holy Spirit. It amazes me to think that we could be the resting place for the living God.
Today's promise tells us that we belong to God and He delights to rest upon us. In the Old Testament, we read about the Holy Spirit coming upon people at certain times, but in the New Testament there is a whole new level of interaction with the Holy Spirit that we have a privilege of knowing. He lives in us. In John 14:23, Jesus said that not only will the Holy Spirit live in us, but Jesus and the Father would too!
There is no greater honor that we could receive other than to be the temple of the living God. I pray that each and every one of us would take a moment right now and thank God for trusting us with His presence. May we never take His indwelling for granted!

Thank you Nora for these! I've been reading them lately as well, very refreshing when feeling in a dry place or like "butter scraped over too much bread" (as Bilbo said in the LOTR).
DeleteThe promise #300 for this Saturday the 27th is pretty amazing all current things considered!
October 27th
:-)
DeleteHello family, I just came across this video this morning: Rapture October 25th to the 26th.? High alert days are here. 726 398 33 The code?, after seeing Pearl Kolleri's latest video mentioning it ("Ultimate Convergence This Week Oct 23-36th). It is well worth listening to this gentleman's testimony and dream(s). What (and how), God has shown him is amazing!! You will be encouraged!
ReplyDeleteGrant R, I haven't watched yet but wanted to chime in as, having watched Pearl's latest, esp in light o her and Colleen M packing Oil like a 'couple of very wise virgins, I wanted to highlight this as ANOTHER WITNESS surely, as we would expect, prior to THE Midnight Cry, Maranatha!
DeleteGrant, TY! That was some powerful encouragement.
DeleteAgree on the oil packing Sisters, Jimboni. And along with the Brother @The Unleashing, the messages of anticipation today are truly so palpable, it's going to be hard to sleep in the coming nights, whatever we might have left of them.
Blessings and Maranatha!!!
Grant thank you for that link. If you can listen to his video and not see this man's heart and what God has shown him, you need to check your pulse. It does line up with so many other things we're now seeing. Sign or Event? I don't know, but surely important. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteJust a sidenote: the Australians might now be like the British (whom they descend from) the most openly blaspheming nation on the whole globe, this must be really endtimes at the very end if an official Organ Donor advertisement clip goes like this:
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/yfikN7MTfd0
Oh boy... 1 Corinthians 15:19
What did I just even watch? Thats crazy
DeleteThat ad is horrible and deceptive.... in so many ways. Jesus, we are so ready to be with you and out of this place where evil creeps in from every angle.... Come quickly Lord Jesus...please!
DeleteJust when you think you've seen it all. I cannot imagine the depths of depravity required to conceive such an evil and rebellious notion, and then claim it as a moral imperative to save lives. I'm guessing they might be just as willing to publicly set a child on fire to teach other children not to play with matches. The boundaries of even minimal human decency are in high speed evaporation mode. Yes, Lord Jesus, please come quickly!
DeleteWhat the heck? Are they serious with this? Unbelievable.
DeleteAnnabel this is Horrific. To think that Jesus died for those very actors in that ad. Lord, we pray for these individuals that have done this zmFather ... for their salvation, we pray for turning away from their sins, repentance And,thank you Lord that you are the author and the finisher of our faith father and we will call upon your name for the Lost.. LOrd bless you Annabel as you continue to share the word encourage each of us appreciate all your hard work Lord bless you
ReplyDeleteVeeBee dear sister I cherish your heart and good will towards these individuals very much but I myself cannot pray for those anymore. I know about Mark 3:28 allright but I guess these have already taken their decision and hardened their hearts so that God would harden them like with Pharao... This clip reminds me of how God would pull me OUT being a blood donor for some health reasons when I got saved, He wouldn't allow me do so (today I know why). I'm not an organ donor either because people must not be really dead yet when eviscerated. The whole idea in itself is so much ridiculous and shows how very and absolutely DESPERATE today's unbelievers are, deliberately rejecting the idea of an eternal existance although deep down they KNOW better (Ecclesiastes 3:11). They focus on this poor lifespan on earth at a 100% only and have NO hope AT ALL, THAT is what the deep disturbing truth of that clip is. Mark 8:35 / 1 Thessalonians 4:13 Much love & blessings to you Dear, praying for your health and strength to hang in there until we all get our new immortality bodies! He's coming!
DeleteThat Australian Advert was absolutely sickening. And I agree Annabel that it is a a real wakeup call / alarm bells going off, that It is time for God to unleash his wrath and strong delusion on an evil and depraved generation. 2 Thes 2:11 "Because they refused to believe the truth, I will send them a strong delusion, so that they believe a lie."
ReplyDeleteTo think that a governement of a country would be so Blasphemous and ungrateful towards God / Jesus, that they would make an ad mocking his death on the cross.. As if he had not given enough!!
(Just as I referenced 2 Thes 2:11 ,there, I thought, how fitting.. especially as many people think Nov 2nd or Nov 3rd is a potential Kick off date!!) GodIncidence Maybe!!
Hey Guys,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to share a little bit of an encouraging sign that happened to me recently.
I got the current job I have just before the kids finished up for their summer holidays. Before that I was unemployed for about 4 month. And I thanked God for getting me a job just in time for when the Kids would be off school, as it would drive me nuts supervising them for the whole day.
And there was a woman, that we bumbed into several times walking our dogs, and I asked her would she be interested in a small job to collect the kids from creche (day care), because I wouldnt be able to get home from work in time to pick them up before the creche (day care) closed? She did, and it all worked out fine...
Then last week, she told me that she is moving house, and she may not be able to pick up the kids past the 2nd of November..
When I heard the date, my heart jumped with butterflies of excitement, thinking, I might be OK, I might not actually have to try to find a replacement child minder, as I and the kids might actually be raptured by that date.. Yahoo!! Oh praise LORD oh my God, his timing and provision is amazing. Come LORD Jesus Come.

Ironic how much Macron looks like Nikolai from left behind movies. And now he is prepared to offer the peace plan if/when Trump fails to... i mean his first name is Emmanuel... Nice find Jeramiah.
DeleteI know, Miguel. First thing I ever noticed about him. I saw a little article in the Austin paper about him before he announced his candidacy and researched his background because of that similarity, then I told everyone here he would be France's next prez. I don't know who the AC will be, but this guy's history lends the personal qualifications for sure.

DeleteYes, exactly what Sheila said. :-)
Delete@Miguel I didn't think of this Macron-Carpathia resemblance but just as you name it, yes exactly! I think to have read this in some YT comments too. The name of the Left Behind actor is Gordon Currie (Canadian!). I tried to find out about Macrons descendancy, perhaps he is also gen-modified already? (He has married some kind of blonde granny, his former "teacher" so this also looks creepy somehow when they show up together like Semiramis and Tammuz baby-boy) Here are some interesting articles about his philosophy and thinking:
Deletehttp://theconversation.com/emmanuel-macron-president-of-the-liquid-society-95964 "Emmanuel Macron: president of the ‘liquid’ society"

Interesting enough, France is direct neighbor to my own country and the border is just some couple of miles away. But you bet we get to know better about the politics in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia or Turkey from the MSM news than about the French (from the EU news the UK Brexit always dominates). There's literally ZERO in the news all the time except for if there's some official state visit planned or some vehicles burning during street riots. It is like French politics don't exist to the public but yet you know Germany and France were the main founders of the EU with the Treaty of Rome in 1958. If you want to know about Macron you have to dig really hard.
Annabel, I remember reading he was Jesuit schooled at La Providence and later groomed in the Rothschild banking industry, preparing him for political candidacy with his high intellect for economics and communication skills. After announcing his "surprise" run for the presidency, he quickly became the media darling in the race and France's youngest prez at only 39 old. He's a slick character for sure and yes, creepy in the same sense BHO was creepy the first time his face showed up on the TV screens. It's a feeling like these dudes are just clothed in human skin, or something.
DeleteHi I just finished studying Joel. There were several things that jumped out at me and seemed to strengthen my understanding of the timing and chronology of events of the last days. If anyone is interested let me know and I will post my notes here, or a link to my notes if you prefer. I would be interested in hearing any of your insights. Maranatha!
ReplyDeletePlease share, Miguel. Your insights are always appreciated and the Book of Joel is always interesting:-)
DeleteMiguel P, esp in light of the Book of Joel seemingly popping up a bit more, of late, as well as its focus in much of John WFTGD's WGTL it seems a good topic to lay on the table for all to chew on. I believe there is no shortage of '0's or '1s so post it! Let's have at it, Maranatha!
DeleteI only note the verses which stood out to me, quoting the portions which sounded particularly prophetic. My commentary is in parenthesis next to each verse.
DeleteJoel 1
6 "a nation has invaded my land" (who, when?)
7 that nation "has made my vine a waste and my fig tree splinters" (NASB, says splinters, but most translations say the bark is stripped from the fig tree)
12 "vine dries up and the fig tree fails" (very similar to verse 7, so this idea is being emphasized, What is the meaning? Is it that Israel as a fig tree is weakened and dying for lack of trusting in the one True Vine?)
Joel 2
1 "blow a trumpet in Zion" "day of the Lord is coming" (parallel to trumpets in Revelation or a moedim?)
4 "appearance of horses" (see verse 5 note)
5"noise as of chariots" (verses 4 and 5 are very similar to Revelation 9:7-11, the FIFTH TRUMPET)
8 "do not crowd each other" "do not break ranks" (these verses suggest something not human perhaps? since humans would naturally crowd one another and break ranks)
10 "earth quakes" "heavens tremble" " sun and moon grow dark" "stars lose their brightness" (probably the SEVENTH SEAL the same as Revelation 8:12, stars lose brightness rather than fall as in the sixth seal, and the earthquakes in sixth trumpet and seventh bowl do not mention sun or moon or stars)
12 "return to me"
15 "blow a trumpet in Zion" (trumpets are blown at certain times, this could be clear indicator of when)
16 "let the Bridegroom come out of His room" "let the bride out of her bridal chamber" (if this is a reference to the church, then it is indicating that she has been in her chambers, raptured already and is now being released)
17 "weep between the porch and the altar" (Is this the same as Revelation 6:9-11?)
(THEN THERE'S DELIVERANCE):
19 "send you grain, new wine and oil" (symbolic meaning as well as plain meaning?)
20 "I will remove the northern army far from you"
22 "fig tree and the vine have yielded in full" (FINALLY, the vine and fig tree have yielded!)
28 "after this...I will pour out my spirit on all mankind..." (see my note on verse 31)
30 "I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, blood, fire and columns of smoke" (see my note on verse 31)
31 " sun will be turned to darkness and the moon into blood" (verses 28-30 are quoted in Acts by Peter on the day of Pentecost, yet not all signs are described on that day. Is it possible that pentecost was only a partial fulfillment and there is yet another outpouring of the Holy Spirit for the Jews in the very last days?)
32 "there will be those who escape" "even among the survivors" (reminds me of Luke 21:36)
Joel 3
2 "I will... bring them down to ... Jehoshaphat." "I will enter into judgement with them there" "and they have divided up my land"
9 "prepare a war"
10 "beat your plowshares into swords" (This is the exact opposite of Isaiah 2:4, and Micah 4:3)
13 "put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe" (what harvest is this?)
15 "the sun and moon grow dark and the stars lose their brightness" (sounds like Joel 2:10 and the SEVENTH SEAL, see above note in Joel 2:10)
16 "the Lord roars from Zion" "the Lord is a refuge for His people"
18 "in that day the mountains will drip with sweet wine"
19 "egypt will become a waste, and edom will become a desolate wilderness"
20 "judah will be inhabited forever and jerusalem for all generations"
And thank you for your encouragement and kind words Sheila and Jimboni.
DeleteMiguel, your surmising and Scripture comparisons sit well with me spiritually. Laying it out like that creates an easily understood picture in one frame. I know doing that takes some time and effort so TY very much and re Joel 1 and some Strong's:
DeleteH#7111 is qetsapha--a snapping, splintering
H#1117 is Bamah-- a high place for idols
H#7117 is qetsaph--an end, a termination.
Just thought that interesting and thanks again for sharing, Blessings, Brother!
Those are interesting strongs numbers...they look similar to the recent number you discussed...71111711117 was it? And seems splinter may be a better translation than removing bark.
DeleteHere's something about fig trees : "Banyans [fig trees] are ecological LINCHPINS. They produce vast crops of figs that sustain many species of birds, fruit bats, primates and other creatures, which in turn disperse the seeds of hundreds of other plant species.
Also, did you know a fig tree won't usually grow from soil. Nope, it takes root and grows by binding to other plants, including vines, and eventually consumes the vine...
Lastly, Sheila, I asked about Jude 8 in our last thread and forgot to follow up. To me, when that verse talks about those who "revile angelic beings", I cannot help but say, what the heck is he talking about? Seems perhaps there may be something yet unfulfilled....or am I missing something?
I think context wise, v.8 is playing off of v.6. Jude:8 KJV says they despise dominion and speak evil of dignities. So these are angels who've left their first estate, produced the Nephilim, encouraged all sorts of sexual defilement, even cannibalism and have no respect for anything or anyone, so they and all of those corrupted by them will ultimately face the same judgement when V.14-15 kicks in. It was happening in Noah's day, Abraham's day, and to a certain restrained extent in our day, but it'll reach it's crescendo during the Tribulation period. That's how I take it, anyway, but maybe someone else can throw in here?
DeleteMiguel dear brother, as far as I have understood the first 3 chapters of Joel they (mainly) talk about the Armageddon battle period in fact so this is at the very end of the tribulation and describing the visible second coming of the LORD Jesus Christ for His people, the true Messiah (bridegroom and bride exiting their chamber to come down to earth for the GREAT MEAL and the winepress).
DeleteThe fruits and animals named are related to the sacrifices, following the same imagery throughout the bible. You would have to study their deeper meaning from Leviticus, perhaps this might also help:
https://bible.org/series/leviticus-sacrifice-and-sanctification
I know the author from some Proverbs commentary I loved the best I ever read so I think this one is a good one although IDK it from reading through. Compare also to Habakkuk 3:17 it's all about lacking the means for proper sacrifices in the endtimes of a season because false prophets and doctrines have destroyed the soil and food for the grain/fruits and the animals so they starve (and the believers are scattered and lost with them for lacking sound word of God as they don't know how to keep the commandments properly). The hidden meaning to the church of the lack of oblation and libation in Joel can be compared to the (non-bloody sacrifice) WALK and LIFE of Christ or Paul that is not followed any longer = Hebrews 10:5 / Philippians 2:17 / 2 Timothy 4:6
If I have some questions about a certain bible book this webpage www.bible.org would be my first choice for starting a research by topic. Blessings to you, much love!
@Miguel please compare Joel 2:17 to Ezechiel 8:16 and Matthew 23.35 / Luke 11:51 to get an understanding for what exactly happened to cause to "WEEP BETWEEN porch and altar" it's the abomination of desolation by false worship and the slaughtering of the prophets through those who should have known better, the priests ( i.e. synagogue of Satan).
DeleteAnnabel, thanks for your thoughts. I must admit, I hadn't read Matthew 23 in some time, and it is profound. In Chapter 23 Jesus is pronouncing judgements against the pharisees and scribes. In it, there is a certain implication of, if you take My judgements to heart and repent, there is still a chance for you. His mercy is astounding! Also, I cannot help but see so many people in our day and time, who could very much be described like verse 27-28 (Matthew 23:27-28).
DeleteAlso at the end of that chapter He says, "all these things will come upon this generation." That would have been said in approximately 30 AD and from what I can tell everything happened by the the time 100 AD had arrived with the temple being destroyed in approximately 80 AD. This is yet another clear indicator that a generation is approximately 70 years.
As far as the period of time Joel is describing, I agree with you that it is the "armageddon battle period" or end of the tribulation. Twice in Joel the seventh seal seems to be described. the Fifth trumpet seems to be described and the bride coming out of her chambers. These things seem to indicate that the trumpets are occuring and perhaps very quickly after the seventh seal or simultaneous with the seventh seal. It seems to be end of tribulation, but not necessarily the very end as the bowls are not described?
I like bible.org too.
Hmmm...wondering what all of this is about today regarding all of the bomb threats, suspicious packages dispersed, evacuations and anti-terror squads on the move. It all seems to be aimed at the Left Wingers. A false flag, distraction, or what?
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was the right getting tired of some of the things that the left are saying or suggesting ... A senator no less when those in the political arena should be raising the bar not feeding the fires of indulgence and discontent. The threats and verbal attacks on those representing the right that have taken place. People are losing common decency and the crowd mentality is taking over as in road rage incidences, offending ones sensibilities and the coldness of men's hearts. The impatience expressed and the self-filled mindset. Not to mention those mentally unbalanced and those who are acting within a group or cause known to themselves.
DeleteIF an impending wave of indictments are at hand against these and many more of the same KIND, then these 'attacks' are likely Psy-ops intended to assign negative motives to that effort by painting, in the public mind, this 'space' as being defined AS an ongoing ATTACK on political adversaries, not the serving of Justice.
DeleteThat this wave of similar efforts popped up here just yesterday, and today, and reports are evidence links them all together, AND in light of our eyes turned to the calendar THIS WEEK, well, funny timing, no?
Hey Cathi. That's along the lines of what Billy was thinking this morning. He said they had to know that eventually they'd touch the nerve of some right wing extremist, but it looks like these "attempted attacks" on them are immediately being used (CNN really whining) to serve their "victimized" playbook against the Conservative right and just before the election. Their October Surprise, maybe? (and conveniently, all of the devices failed to detonate.) Anyway, it's wall to wall coverage, so if anything ELSE is going on, they won't be reporting on that. Look over here, Sheeple and ignore all that:-/
DeleteOh yeah...I forgot about the indictments....hmmm. The ELSE?"
DeleteYou're right, Jimboni. A perfect and devious counter-measure to the justice they fear is headed their way. All the individuals on that supposedly "attacked" list are on THAT list for their criminal behavior. A PASS THE POPCORN moment for sure.
DeleteBTW, Darren Jack has a new one @clearlywrittendotnet re 10/27 and he's all over the World Series thing with the same things we've been seeing. He points out that Baseball is all about homecoming. And here's the strange thing for me--I had this long detailed dream last night and when I woke up, it was all a blur. I couldn't remember any the details, but I knew what it represented.
It was all a picture of our journey or struggle to stay at the top of our game during this high- pitched watch for His calling us home. On the offensive, we've all taken our turns at bat, sometimes appearing to strike out here and there, but getting back up, smacking that ball and running hard for home, or even at times, just walking or jogging to get there. On the defensive side, we've endured the jeering crowd, kept the enemy from scoring against us with a lot of prayerful teamwork and we've kept ready for the next inning, if required. And all of this purely through the Power and Glory of Christ.
Then I started watching Darren's 10/27 video this morning and midway he is expressing the same type of sentiments and explaining the why of it. Very encouraging and even confirming to say the least. I never got around to watching part 2 of his prior 10/17 video because it was 3 hrs long and I assumed it was just a recapping like he often does, putting a fresh date on an older message, but I wish I had because athough we differ slightly on some of it, toward the end he was making some of the same World Series/EQs connections regarding this time frame, only making some good Scriptural connects as well which he carries over into this new one. He covers some very interesting triangle info, too.
This journey's been so exciting since before Rev.12 Sign, but it's really super exciting now! Just trying to imagine what it's going to be like to come face to face with the Lord of all Glory...I don't know why, but I want to see His Feet first, then work up to seeing His Face. Is that weird...IDK...we'll see:-)
Blessings and Maranatha!
Okay, ... Sheila. Feet first? Well, I can see that more easily as we are kneeling before him ... face planted on the ground. It kind of makes me wish I was there when he walked on the earth, hearing about him as others were talking about him, seeing him, being drawn to him and ...
DeleteI know, Cathi, me too, but there are only 2 best times to have ever lived and we are living in one of them. So very blessed as He admonished Thomas about those who would believe without seeing, Praise the Lord! Plus if I'd have loved Him then like I do now, I couldn't have handled what they did to Him. I could hardly handle that Passion of Christ movie and have never been able to bring myself to watch it again.
DeleteYou are right, these are the two best times to live. I never thought of witnessing his crucifixion. To be close to the rapture and having this Blessed Hope is sobering.
DeleteFamily will.you all please pray for my legs to heal and im having inplants done on my lower jaw so i can eat better and I am really nervous about having the 4 implants put in the dentist and the staff are all really amazing and nice and made me feel comfortable at my visit for my first dentures and the one lady the assistant is saved and mom snd me prayed about it and God helped me through the first part and he will get me through these implants but im nervous i love you all and miss you dearly I know we are close to going home and I wonder is it foolish of me to get the implants to help me eat , Idk I guess its not that bad of me to want to be able to eat like normal idk You brother Jeramiah love you all cant wait to go home watching and waiting amen ....
DeleteAmen Jeramiah! Praying for you continually! Don't worry please, the Lord cares for you and for me and for all of us really! Blessings and Maranatha!
DeleteJeramiah, so wonderful to "hear" your sweet voice. No, it is not foolish to want to be able to eat like normal people. We are instructed to "stand, and having done all to stand". You can't stand if you can't eat properly. We sense the time is short until our Lord's return, but we don't know what "short" means. So, we must occupy and that's what we all do here, that's what you do. Don't let Satan guilt trip you about basic human needs. We love you very much and miss your calm, gentle input and spirit. Blessings and Prayers for your Leg and for your Mom as well. Sherry
DeleteAmen to what Sherry said, Jeramiah. Do take care of yourself as best you can and I will be praying for your strength and healing. Blessings and Maranatha!
DeleteSame here, Jeramiah. It sounds like you have the opportunity to have this dental work done, so go for it. What if I went ahead and had total knee replacement surgery on both knees? Wouldn't this be okay so I could walk normally without pain? Eating is a big part of life. Dental pain is a stop-gap to even wanting to eat and it is important to a person's health to have good dental care. God cares for us, he knows the number of hairs on our head.
DeleteSherry is right in standing as a part of occupying - moving forward. Take care of that leg(s) and do what is necessary to aid in healing one day at a time. I ask God that he will give you respite in dealing with this as you continue in trusting Him.
So, this reminds me of asking you Sherry how your husband is doing with having hip surgery and yourself in helping him?
DeleteAlso, how is your sister Cy and Cry after her knee replacement surgery? I trust she is doing well as I see the lady across the street from me progress from a walker to a cane to walking unaided, and now driving her car as she goes here and there.
You gals have me in tears Gid is so amazing i have went without for around 8 years because a bad experince and ill fitting dentures and these people and Gods guidence has truly amazed and touched my heart in such a special way I cant even describe how i feel right now but the dentist called me this evening and said they are going to give me a 40% discount and I will find out my total tomorrow for the implant surgery , they wont be putting me asleep or under just numb me up really good and everything is lazor guided and very detailed still nervous , I cant thank you all enough for the love and prayers God has me smiling inside and out as he carries me through this life till time to go home I love you all thank you again so much for the prayers ! It is getting really cold outside and I know we are really close to going home I cant wait to dance and sing in heaven and one of my best friends from long time ago was in an abusive relationship and she didnt tell anyone but she finally got away and got saved and I am so happy everytime someone gets saved i want everyone in heaven with us amen ...
DeleteGods warrior, just chiming in so you can see it said. You are certainly on my prayer list if I may not comment. My prayer for you, and the heart of this comment, is that we would uplift your arms as you labor to worship Him simply by "1st loving yourself," as is His Wisdom, summed up in 'Loving your neighbor AS YOURELF', amen. Stay strong and keep your eyes set on the Joy before us ALL! Maranatha!
DeleteWell, While I'm sure that loving one's Elf is a good thing, but not what was said. Loving your neighbor as YOURSELF is the correction (kindly insert, apologies) Maranatha!
DeleteWell, if that ain't one of the hardest things to do, don't you think.
DeleteI needed that elf laugh after today. It's been one of those toasty hot pea-shooter days. (I won't give the enemy the satisfaction of calling it "fiery darts") A tire blow out, Iphone lost on side of road because "SOMEBODY" was so aggravated by the tire mishap that "he" left his phone on the rear bumper and the worst, my little sister had a relapse and did have to have emergency surgery today. BUT the tire will be fixed, albeit costly, we know exactly where the iphone is through the miracle of modern technology and we just have to keep trying to get the people who picked it up to answer their door and give it back AND the surgery went well and just praying for the follow up meds to do their thing. (Apparently there was no blood flow into the abscess in her airway so the antibiotics were not actually getting in there to kill the infection.) So ALL GLORY TO OUR LORD! We have survived to be blessed with another day, Amen:-D
DeleteAnd yes Cathi, sometimes the only way to love ourselves is to remember the price HE was willing to pay for us. That makes me a little more bearable to myself anyway.
I love you All and so grateful for all of you. Many Blessings:-)
Cathi, you asked re my sister's knee surgery. She is still in quite a bit of pain and very swollen and tender. Trusting that time will help. Thanks for caring and remembering. That is one benefit of suffering....we have compassion for others. Thanks dear

ReplyDeleteA SON IS KIND TO OTHERS
I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be ‘kind' lately. 1 Corinthians 13:4 describes love itself as being 'kind'. Webster's definition of being kind is... 'having or showing a gentle nature and a desire to help others; wanting and liking to do good things and to bring happiness to others'. Other words used to describe kindness are 'loving, gentle & affectionate'.
Being 'kind' is an action adjective that is always focused on someone or something. You can be kind to your friend, kind to your family or even kind to your pet. In my mind, kindness is something that is expressed that brings comfort, encouragement or help to the one who is in your focus. Often it is a very practical way to express love.
Whether it is baking a cake, giving a friend a hug, or simply just being considerate and tenderhearted towards somebody else, showing kindness is a beautiful thing to behold. And the good news of this week's blog is that our Heavenly Father is the kindest Person there is in the universe!
Since God is love (1 John 4:16) and love is kind, it only stands to reason that our Heavenly Papa is the ultimate expression of kindness that we could ever know. He is gentle and tenderhearted, affectionate and considerate, and very practical in the many ways that He expresses His kind heart towards us.
I find it interesting that in this week's Scripture, Jesus reminds us that our God and Father is even kind to those that we would consider unthankful and evil. So in essence, God's kindness is expressed to every person on the planet whether we like it or not. If you have have a hard time believing that, consider Romans 2:4 which says that is actually God's kindness that leads us to repentance (aka to change our mind about Him).
Recently, I had the opportunity to put kindness into practice. They weren't big acts of service, just a few little kind gestures to those around me. I was amazed to see how much favor was released back to me from Abba as I was carried in the current of His affectionate heart towards others. I believe that simple acts of kindness are contagious and have the potential to create a domino effect that will reach even to the ungrateful and evil in our broken, lost world.
But since we can only give away what we first received (1 John 4:19), we may want to ask ourselves if we are personally enjoying the benefits of God's kindness in our own lives? If not, it will be difficult to give away to others that which we haven't yet received ourselves.
I am convinced that the more we can experience our Papa's kindness towards us, even in the midst of hardship, the more we will be able to express His kindness to others. In the same way that the Father loved Jesus, He loved His friends (John 15:9). Then he told His friends to love one another with that very same love (John 13:34)! That is how love works. When we are able to believe and live in the tangible reality of the Father’s affection for us, we have something to give to others.
However, if we struggle to believe that God is kind towards us, we will have a tendency to be unkind towards others. It only stands to reason that this is the case because we will most likely reflect the image of who we think God really is. Unfortunately we are seeing a lot of this played out on the Internet every day through unkind social media posts & blogs. Instead of seeing love cover a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8), we are experiencing the exact opposite.
(pt.2.)
ReplyDeleteMy prayer today is that each and every one of us would be overwhelmed with the kindness of our Heavenly Dad. Even in the midst of every difficult circumstance that life can throw at us, may we be able to experience our Papa loving us through it all. The truth is that He is way kinder than we could ever possibly imagine, and it is that kindness that will cause us to repent (change our mind) about His character and His nature.
As we grow in the amazing gentleness that Papa pours out every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), may we see many new opportunities to show His affection and thoughtfulness to others. And as you ask Papa who He wants you to show kindness to today, don't forget to include yourself. If Papa is kind to the unthankful and the evil, surely His kindness extends to His beloved kids and that includes YOU!
So, let's all be merciful as our Heavenly Father is merciful and start reflecting our Papa's kindness (Ephesians 5:1-2) to everyone we meet. In doing so, we will demonstrate in practical, considerate ways that we are truly sons and daughters of the Most High… even to those who don't deserve it.
Ephesians 4:31-32
“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.”

ReplyDeleteA SON IS MOVED WITH COMPASSION
“Jesus went out, and he saw a great multitude. He had compassion on them, and healed their sick.” (Matthew 14:14)
Compassion is one of the most important attributes of God’s heart that we can carry. We often see compassion at work throughout the earthly ministry of Jesus. It seems as if compassion was the motivator behind many of the miracles that He performed.
I am particularly fond of one of the verses that refer to Jesus' tender heart from Matthew 9:36 where it says… “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
My friend Jack Winter used to say… ‘Compassion brings the anointing and the anointing breaks the yoke’. If that is indeed the case, then the Isaiah 61 text that Jesus used to launched His public ministry (Luke 4:16-21) was a proclamation of God’s heart that found its roots in the soil of His compassion.
Let’s read the text that Jesus read in Luke 4:18-19...
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”
I believe that it is only when we begin to grasp the compassionate heart of the Godhead, that we will begin to understand the real meaning of the gospel. Jesus was called ‘the friend of sinners’ by the religious establishment of the day (who by the way had no interest in stooping down into the broken lives of those they were called to lead).
To Jesus, being called ’the friend of sinners’ was a compliment even though the Pharisees intended it as an insult. For He knew that the very reason why He came in the first place was to seek and to save those who were lost and to give His life as a ransom for many (Luke 19:10; Mark 10:45). It was for the ‘harassed and helpless’ that He came. It is for these little ones who needed a Shepherd who would not abuse them, exploit them and judge them... that He laid down His life.
Wikipedia’s definition of compassion is… 'The emotion that one feels in response to the suffering of others that motivates a desire to help.' A further unpacking of the Latin meaning of the word (compassio) means ‘to suffer together’.
Considering that God is called the Father of Compassion and the God of all comfort in 2 Corinthians 1:3-5, the idea that He suffers alongside of us is quite overwhelming. He is not a father who is removed from the muck and the mire of our lives. He is right there with us in the midst of all our pain and all our brokenness. When we truly discover that He isn’t judging us but loving us, we will finally find good news that is worth dying for!
King David knew a thing or two about brokenness. Though a man after God's own heart, he experienced much heart ache. It was David who described God's compassionate, fatherly heart in Psalm 103:13-14… “As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.”
No doubt in one of his many valleys, David also wrote in Psalm 34:18… “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
The truth (reality) that will set us free is that it is in our darkest times that our Father is the closest in our lowest of valleys, He is sharing in our suffering. I think King David had a glimpse of this when he wrote Psalm 23:4 when he said... “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

ReplyDeleteI can remember feeling this fellowship of suffering on a whole other level a few years ago after we first discovered that our youngest daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia. As a dad, I was doing my best to try and be strong for our family and many of those early days, I felt like I was just in coping mode.
At one point, I was walking to my car in the dark after a long day at the cancer hospital when I asked God where He was at that very moment. You see, I didn’t feel a strong sense of His presence or a supernatural peace at that time. And I didn’t hear His voice or feel especially comforted by Him so I asked ‘Where are you Papa?’.
I was really surprised with the answer I received. All of a sudden, I realized that He was right there beside me all along but He wasn’t saying a thing. He wasn’t trying to get me to change my attitude or scold me for not being more spiritual. He was just there, closer than I could imagine, silently suffering alongside of me. And when I realized He was there all along, His compassionate heart toward me brought comfort beyond what words could express.
I believe we all need this kind of comfort. We need someone to understand us and come alongside us in the messiness of our broken lives and love us completely. And that is what our Father did when He sent His Son into the world. Jesus was to be called Emmanuel, which means ‘God with us’ (Matthew 1:23). The champion of the human race came to be a man of sorrows so that He could be acquainted with our grief (Isaiah 53:3).
It was in His shared sufferings with us that He was qualified to be our great High Priest. Hebrews 4:15 says… “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin.”
When God became man, He entered into a holy fellowship with us on a level never before possible. The good news is that God understands us and His heart is filled with compassion towards us! He loves us through and through in spite of our frail, broken clay pots.
My prayer today is that we would all have a greater awareness of our Father's gentle, compassionate heart for us. May we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that He understands each one of our struggles and His compassion draws us into a holy fellowship with Him in the times of our greatest suffering.
2 Corinthians 1:3-5
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.”

Why now after 13 years? I suspect they are implanting the cover story for when, perhaps with a little nudge, this thing (prob. Kiluea) BLOWS--which it has not actually done yet. I believe it would at some point happen on it's own anyway, but why let a good crisis go to waste when it can be used to an advantage? Conspiracy theorist...where...I don't see one...;-D

DeleteWell, so here we are once again, on the eve of. The numerous layers of unpacking which blossomed on this one, and at its margins, seem more than connections thinly made. Funny that Kilauea raises her face here now, on our radar. THIS unpack feels a LOT like that one did and, by extension, the anticipation of the Big Nothing Burger in the face of such amazing digs rides along. I know the good folks of the Islands wouldn't quite see it that way, but our perspective is not so local. Not to desire calamity for any, yet, longing for final Union with Our Lord, our eagerness for His Footsteps, whatever they may sound like when heard, is fitting, amen? Maranatha!
Ok, I'm venturing out here, but I think all of these nothing burgers might really turn out to be something burgers in the end, so I'm going to call them "delayed burgers".

DeleteIn the spirit of Full Disclosure and Fealty to Our Lord and the source being one worthy of holding Our Lord in Esteem, the following was posted, by 'Michael' over on Colleen M's latest (6:45 p.m. MT+/-) and it prompted a sharing of a dream as it seemed to unpack some things for Colleen M she hadn't yet understood. Sharing:
ReplyDelete"Dearest Colleen, I share this message with mixed emotions. A word from the Lord was just shared with another watchwoman who I have followed the past three years. Because of the travailing intercession, crosses carried, and repentance, good chance the Lord has granted us more time before the rapture. He shared that many in His church are not prepared for the rapture and that He is going to release a move of evangelism on the earth. I've always believed that if enough of His body intercedes for His mercy, He would listen and honor their prayers. Just as Abraham interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah. Please take this to the Father for confirmation. Just like so many of your listeners, I so want to be raptured, even this week! I also know that many in the church are still awakening and others coming to faith in Christ. Regardless of what happens this week, you have faithfully prepared so many brides on this channel for the coming of our Lord. Blessings "
I've been down this road before with other watchman. IMHO - God is omniscient. He doesn't do stop and start and change his mind because of intercession, etc. He knows the end from the beginning, including when people will and will not intercede. I believe with all my heart, based upon walking with Him and reading and studying His Word - He has known the day of the Rapture since before the earth and any human being was created. It has not changed, it will not change. Why then should be pray? Because he already knew when he set the day of the rapture who would pray and who would intercede and who would not - It's called Omniscient Foreknowledge. Now, having said that I do not know if the Day of the Rapture is Tomorrow or 10 years from now, but I believe absolutely it has not changed and it will not change. He's already made allowance for everything. It is fixed - He did not just wake up this morning and say, "Oh, dear, look at all my sweet children praying for more time, perhaps I should change something." The last "person" I saw pushing this story was one who had set a date and sworn it in blood and walked it back with the "intercession". This is not even original. Nope - He Knows Everything - including the hairs on all our heads. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteYes, I do now and always have believed that day was appointed from the Beginning. I cannot bring myself to ask for more time because I know it is what it is. What I do pray for is for others to take advantage of whatever time we have left here and RUN to Him before it's too late and I pray that now with an urgency like never before. Abraham did intercede, but even as Abraham was standing there bargaining with Him, God already knew what the immediate outcome for S and G was going to be, hence the IF I find fifty...not a word about giving them anymore time to get things right. Blessings and Looking Up!
DeleteI don't see any mercy in letting blasphemy, child abuse, violence, theft and all kinds of lawlessness to continue much longer, just so that a few folks could get more interested in eschatology. Sure, I'm praying for loved ones to convert, but also for God to put an end to this madness, not to prolong it. Many of you have issues with health or money. I have problems with temptations - pretty much all temptations I was staying away from and ignoring are now constantly in my face and constantly available. If my repentance and sin avoidance was to be rewarded like that, it would be mockery and betrayal. Oh, and Abraham's intercession for Sodom didn't work out all that well in the end, did it? Why would God give anyone the message of discouragement, anyway.
DeleteI appreciate your saying what you did Sherry because I have questioned the idea of changing God's mind in respect to when the rapture happens because of believing it will be when the times of the gentiles is fulfilled and no one can know this and I don't think it can be altered or changed by intercessory prayer. I guess it leaves an uneasy feeling when i think about this. But, what do I know. And, I tend to be skeptical and unbelieving. I think this way because we don't save anyone, it is the work of the Holy Spirit. And, to expect or to think by praying for an evangelistic or a revival movement hasn't really made sense to me if we truly are in the season of the tribulation (which for me is the last seven years of this present time on Earth) before Jesus returns to earth to rule and reign for 1,000 years. Frankly, there are a lot of people out there saying they have a word from the Lord and all of this which I find questionable. It is like when the book on the "The Prayer of Jabez" was so popular. I wasn't buying it. As in the verse in 2 Chronicles 7:14 on if my people humble themself ... for our nation here, there and everywhere. I guess I don't see this as a promise for the church and the time we live in but was about the Israelites during that time period. I couldn't see it. I guess I just am really too negative or have weak faith. It is like I guess the "feel good" sermons preached, the prosperity gospel, 'name and claim it' belief, etc. The rapture isn't so good the bride being ready for one thing. I don't think so anyway. Or, in preparing the church. If that were true, well I don't think there would be a rapture. It is too close to the whole 'partial rapture' viewpoint and well is dangerously close to boasting and "works" which the gospel tells us no man can do because grace is given to us by God. We don't earn it. He and only He gets all the praise and glory and honor.
DeleteDominika, I like your bringing up temptations, avoidance of, and sin. We all do have struggles with this. It just isn't as talked about as much or in as much detail or repeated as much etc., here because for one thing it is harder to do so. It is more painful emotionally and more difficult to look at in oneself in the first place. But, we all have temptations. My sin(s) kept me out of church all of my life and some of that was laziness and self-indulgent behavior and habits and things I don't care to think about or look at. I have a temper and all that goes along with that. I eat too much, and my battle with these things has left me in the depths of despair at various times, questioning if I am even saved, if I am even His child. Throw in the internal thoughts like envy, jealousy, self-pity, lust, coldness of heart, rebellion, etc and I am just doomed. But, salvation isn't about us. It is what God planned and His Son did to pay the penalty for our sin and the Holy Spirit bringing about the will of God. It is His love for us while we were yet sinners. I think just now of the Apostle Peter in one of the boats with Jesus, preaching to the crowd, and telling them to let down their nets after they had fished unsuccessfully and were cleaning them. After Peter saw the miracle of Jesus providing the abundance of fish, he tells Jesus to go away for he was a sinner, Luke 5:7-8. That is powerful. Can you not just see the moment ... The shame, guilt, loss, hurt and realization of one's sin? The love and caring that must have poured out from Jesus, the Son of God and the desire to run away from that, to hide ... such are we.
DeleteAgree with you Sherry - Daniel interceded on behalf of his people when he already knew the date that the Israelites were going to be set free, yet he still felt move to ask God for his forgiveness for his people. The date was set in stone and did not change with Daniel's intercession, however the end time activities were released to him in greater clarity.
DeleteRyan
Dear Dominika, I don't think this is still about "making few folks get interested in eschatology" but rather about perfect timing on Gods calendar and about refining and winnowing before bringing the harvest in (Daniel 11:35; 12:10 / Matthew 3:12). Habakkuk and Jeremiah had the same feelings about Gods (lacking?) MERCY and expressed them well. No, His mercy isn't lacking but (even in plural!) "new every morning" (Lamentations 3:22-23), thats why we're especially awaiting His MERCY in the endtimes to make an end to all this (Jude 1:21). Training on money, health or temptations is individual, we cannot expect not being tested according to His will if it pleases to Him to do so. He wants our full attention every day and full dependance on Him until the very last moment so He refines everyone of us differently to present him faultless (Jude 1:24). Nobody said it would be easy and it isn't. Just keep going but don't murmur against Him (Psalm 73:14-22). His timing is perfect and our thoughts are not His. MARANATHA! Much love and blessings to you!

DeleteI have been meaning to study and find out what a true revival is, but alas… time factor. But, I did notice when we saw the movie "Louie Zamperini (sp?) : Path to Redemption," the banner over the Revival Meeting said something like "All Area Churches United Together for the Gospel." Churches are uniting today, but mostly over all things unbiblical, dare I say, even all things evil. The Gospel is pushed to the side, if not purposely ignored. So, with respect to how revival was once understood as relating to the churches, the body of Christ, I don't see it.

DeleteAmen, Cathi!
A thing or two what Dominika said also resonated with me.
In my opinion the only thing that is needed for the rapture concerning the Church is *the full number of the Gentiles to come in*. Once this number is reached we'll be out of here, no matter what! Only the Lord knows when that will happen, since He knows the that number. Plus, I also think that He has always known the day of the rapture (in His omniscience) and it's a rock-solid date on His schedule. Based on what I've learned from Scripture about how the Lord relates to us and how He handles us born again believers on an individual level and how He relates to and handles the Church as whole, I find the notion of "the rapture hasn't happened yet because the Lord didn't find the Church ready for it so He has to *work on us* a bit more" absolutely unbiblical.
ShelleyB, I have to agree. For the most part what we see around here is a unity in Social Justice issues and a rejection of anything in the Bible that's "negative" toward the acceptance of all lifestyles, so they find ways to twist the Scriptures to suit their liking. They provide upbeat musical entertainment, coffee and donuts in the Sanctuaries (which I still can't get past) and promise of spiritual renewal. If you actually want to know what the Bible says, they suggest you join one of their tailor fitted "life group" meetings AFTER church. And children, rather than learning to worship with their parents, are sent off to playrooms to color pictures of Noah's ark and not really welcomed during the "Adult" services. But they need huge buildings to accommodate the growing crowds for these "Revivals". Our other options are in the little old country churches filled with mostly the elderly and on scant budgets.They do share the Word as written, sing hymns, worship Jesus and pray with one another, but nobody would call that a Revival. More like a REMNANT. BLessings, Sister as we wait and watch:-)
DeleteHi Guys,
ReplyDeleteThe Exalted Lamb 1 has a new video out, titled: "I, Pet Goat 2 SOLVED!! Supporting Evidence!"
https://youtu.be/RmUWF45Pcs4 ((CLICK))
He basically has done an analysis on the demonically inspired I Pet Goat 2 movie, and has also aggregated many different movie & media clips, that display the numbers 911, 923 and A113, and all these numbers point to the same date. i.e Nov 2nd to the Nov 3rd.
His view is that a major false flag event such as a missile into Haiwaii to cause a monster Tusami is planned for that date. and the Presidential Alert sent on Oct 3rd was a 30 day warning / countdown to the catastrophic event.
In summary of his math:
(Sept = 7th month)
(Oct = 8th month)
(Nov = 9th month)
(Dec = 10th month)
so when you see 911 in the media, it actually refers to Nov 2nd
when you see 11,11 in the media, it actually refers to Nov 2nd
when you see 923, or 239 or 329 etc, in the media, it actually refers to Nov 2nd
when you see A113 in cartoons, or movies, it actually means "Atomic" on Nov 3rd.
Very interesting.. Keep looking up, we will receive our crown very soon.
Jordon, that IS interesting as another possible high-watch day for something. The thing with the surely and satanically inspired Pet Goat II video is that while it does lay out the enemy's intentions and acts as a messaging tool to his followers, it can only play out in accordance with The Almighty God's own closely held timeline and cannot fully play out until the Restrainer is removed. Just as we have watched so many high-hope days for our Deliverance come and go, I'm sure the enemy is watching the same, just as anxious to put his most vile of evil plans in motion. Our Lord, in His love for us, has continuously given us enough to keep us alert and ready, but as Jimboni has so keenly pointed out, not so much that His hand is tipped off to the enemy and that's gotta be driving that old devil crazy!

Hey Guys,
ReplyDeleteI know most of you are in the USA, but just to note that the Irish have also been following a steady road of moral degradation.
in 2015 - the Irish passed a vote to legalise GAY MARRIAGE
In May 2018 - the irish legalised ABORTION
And today, there is a vote to remove BLASPHEMY from the law, more than likely it will pass,
The Article says:
"No one has ever actually been prosecuted for blasphemy under the Irish constitution, But the one time an investigation was even attempted in recent years was enough to catapult the issue onto the national stage. In 2015, British comedian Stephen Fry appeared on an Irish television program. When quizzed by the show’s host about what he would say to God in the afterlife, Fry responded, “Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world so full of injustice and pain?” He was accused of running afoul of Ireland’s blasphemy laws, and Irish police opened an inquiry.
That investigation was eventually dropped, but the high-profile nature of the case sparked a public debate about the efficacy of the country’s blasphemy laws. In the aftermath of the Fry saga, an alliance of 14 Churches—including the Catholic Church—declared the constitutional clause “largely obsolete” and called for its removal.
Ireland had actually been considering removing it for several years prior. ..."
The Good Old Catholic Church, chips in with their comment saying, that the law was "LARGELY OBSOLETE"..
Just further evidence of a degradation of the moral fibre that is currently abound all over the world even in the island of "saints and scholars" which Ireland is sometimes called!!
Here is the link to the article incase anyone was interested.

Jordan, funny I just noticed that here: https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-10-25/will-ireland-decriminalise-blasphemy
DeleteSo they actually did it. Hopefully all Irish are now given equal rights to do so, especially thinking of the 'peaceful religion' that threats and kills people for ridiculing their great prophet... Ha! I'm curious how this might work out on the island. LOL :-D
Speaking of which, Annabel, I was just reading an article about how Sinead O"Conner, the Irish singer and an admitted lesbian, has just converted to Islam? Well, she's not a total lesbian she said, but her new slogan is "Wear a hijab just do it" and she put out a tweet to say that "This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada' " (I wonder if she knows there is no going back upon penalty of death) Yes, Jordon, Ireland has apparently joined the rapid downward spiral with the rest of this world. Praying for the Brethren there as well.
DeleteYeah Ireland is a quirky little country, dont think many countries had a blasphemy law, but Ireland had, and now more than likely it will become to blaspheme,
ReplyDeletePS: Brad has just posted a new article ...
Sheila, I am an ogre ... I purposely sit away from any children because they usually are unruly, distracting and the parent allows this to go on ... I usually end up getting up and sitting elsewhere. I can't imagine why kids would have to be in the adult service as that has got to be boring and over their heads. It looks like the kids like to leave and go to their own classes when they are dismissed before the sermon in a church I had attended. They race out. Some ministers just drone on in a flat voice and I lose interest ... It's me tho. I have listened to this young pastor recently who talks too fast and it is like he isn't breathing. I find I need to catch my breath and breathe in for him.
ReplyDeleteToo funny, I volunteered at a coffee and snacks set-up between two services one time. I enjoyed watching the kiddies eat a small bowl of cereal or grab a banana or a little donut, a cup of milk, juice. We had other things too depending on what was donated. It was a spread. Some of these kids ate like they were really hungry. Maybe their parents weren't feeding them before leaving the house. Some abused this obviously. They eliminated this the following year tho and only serve coffee. They also took away the outer sitting area with couches and nice chairs (which was meant for the disabled or elderly). I could get away from sitting sandwiched in next to others and the high volume. I could stretch out my feet or put them up on a chair at a table and watch the TV monitor. I suppose there were too many sitting out there when they could sit in the assembly and what not, visiting ... I am okay with bringing coffee into the service but I think during the worship/musical time this should be set aside, even tho many people are still talking and whispering to one another or they are having all their attention on their child and I find that distracting. The whole time is considered worship but I see the time when the minister is preaching as just that and I guess this is being disrespectful. Life groups is a great idea in meeting others and studying the Bible than in listening to a sermon but having these before or after a church service for me seems like too much at once, which I guess would be like going to the Sunday School hour. Tho, life groups are supposedly less informal and are supposed to be a time of getting to know your fellow believers more easily. I tried a church recently and in regard to the noise level, they even had a container of ear plugs on a shelf behind the welcome counter! You could request a pair. One time, she was a stickler tho on asking me if I was going to be attending the second service. Others, just gave them to me. I went a few times. They are extremely loud! It is tiring to have to use an earplug because the music is so terribly loud and/or the volume is still too loud when the sermon is preached. This other church ropes off the two end sections at their early service and I just can't handle sitting in an area where I am crunched up next to people. Course, I usually am late and the only openings are near the front. I almost considered this one church because they have this foyer/open area for the elderly or it is just used that way coz it is near the, um, coffee set-up, that has all these windows that look into the sanctuary so you see the minister and the people. Speakers are set up for the sound. We
Cathi, of course you're not an ogre, but I think some of that was my point. I guess kids are more unruly these days, but their parents accommodating that unruliness just seems counter-productive to me. Church used to be a place where kids learned to sit still and respect what they were there for, or else. Crying babies and toddlers should naturally be carried out and tended to, but normally you were only talking about an hour or so of enforcing disciplined attention. Same thing they do everyday in school and maybe I'm just old school, but I know my Grandpa (who was a deacon) would have fell out in a dead faint if someone would have entered the Sanctuary with a donut and a cup of coffee. Of course, back then, Church was serious business and people even wore their Sunday best. (That was about the only time I got to wear a real pretty dress and those little black patent leather shoes and he was the only Christian influence I had in my young life. He died when I was 10, and the one thing he willed to me was his Bible, which was put away, forgotten and never given to me until I was 42 yrs old). But formalities aside, when we take Jayden with us, he sits with us and minds his manners, or else, and we talk later about the message to see what he learned. When he goes with his mom to that big Outreach church she likes, he does have a snack and he does play, but he can't tell me a thing he learned about Jesus Christ. And the sad part is, neither can she. All she's got is some "how to live a happier life" self-help ideas and that's my biggest regret--not having my girls in church at a young age. Maybe that's what Jesus meant in Matt.19:14 KJV when he said to "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for such is the kingdom of heaven.'' I know they can be a pain, Sister, but He dearly loves those little pains and wants them to learn who He is:-)
DeleteI never really thought about that verse nor in it meaning being in an adult service, Sheila. I'll remember this next time I find myself sitting near a child. Maybe in Jesus's day children were seen and not heard type of thing or viewed as property. I did a bit of reading and early Christians would take in abandoned children which sounded like it was a common occurrence in a pagan society.
