Signs of the Rapture

What to Look For

Are We Witnessing a New Convergence of Conspiracy Theories?

Some Contemporary Conspiracy Theories to not worry about (much).

  • Pres. Barack Obama is not just a Muslim symphathizer, but is an undercover Muslim.
  • John Brennan, Director of the CIA, really is a Wahabist convert to Islam.
  •  John Clapper, Director of National Intelligence, is lying about conclusive evidence of Russian hackers influencing the outcome of the US Presidential election.
  •  The Muslim Brotherhood’s objective of ‘Civilization Jihad’ in America is right on track.
  •  The FBI knows that the CIA is planning a coup in America on or near Jan. 20th, the date of the Presidential Inauguration of Pres. Donald Trump.
  • The 70 Nation Paris Peace Conference on Jan. 15th will result in dictatated terms of peace between Israel and the Palestinians leading to violence and war.and last but not least,
  • The US government is hiding evidence of UFOs and the remains of aliens at Area 51 in the Nevada desert.
  • A newly discovered comet is on a collision course with planet Earth but the government has chosen to not tell us.

Note that the phrase ‘conspiracy theory’ has connotations of falsehood attached to it, yet by definition, a conspiracy does not have anything to do with falsehood.

Crazy ideas of secret agreements and sinister plotting to commit illegal acts sometimes have a basis in truth.

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Baptist Church Hires ‘Married’ Lesbian Co-Pastors

By Leave a Comment

Calvary Baptist Church of Washington D.C., a member of the American Baptist Convention (ABCUSA), hires a ‘married’ lesbian couple to co-pastor the church, Sally and Maria. Oh right, so we’re supposed to believe or accept the narrative put forth that ‘the church’ has been intolerant for 2,000 years but has finally seen the error of it’s way and a new day has dawned in which intolerant, sexist attitudes of the past have been left behind.  Next we’ll be seeing a surge in the demand that the Bible be re-written and purged of it’s ‘errors’. Religion is just that to Sally and Maria, the two novice ‘pastors’ who have fallen into the devil’s trap. To them, the religion is a set of rituals and memorized ideas which anyone can adopt without ‘knowing’ the Author of Life.  Their pride shines like as bright as the morning star.

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!

Isaiah 14:12 (KJV)


The fear of the Lord is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And the perverse mouth I hate.

Proverbs 8:13 (NKJV)

Calvary Calls Co-Pastors

This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work.  A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach;  not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;  one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence  (for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?);  not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil.  Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

1 Timothy 3:6 (NKJV)

 

 

Jesus.com is Gay

By Leave a Comment

LGBTQDoes that get your attention?  I vaguely recall mentioning this sometime ago, but feel it’s worthy of mentioning again as it’s such a blatant Sign of the Times.  Whoever owns www.Jesus.com has the website pointed to the Metropolitan Community Church website.  If you’re not familiar with MCC, they are mainly comprised of homosexuals, lesbians and transgenders who proclaim themselves to be holy servants of the Lord God Almighty.  I think it’s safe to assume that they are unrepentant and living actively gay lifestyles.  Lust is one thing, but calling God a liar and refuting his written word by making a mockery of sin under the banner of Christianity is on an entirely different level.  These people are in danger of Hell fire, yet their hearts are so hardened few if any will have a change of heart, confess their sin for what it is and make every effort to turn from it.  I personally know people who by the power of God’s grace have escaped from the lifestyle and have found real love from someone of the opposite sex, the way God intended it to be.  They have beautiful children of their own and have been happily married for a long time.  So don’t tell me it’s not possible…it’s God’s will. The mere fact that the rainbow, God’s symbol of a promise to never destroy the Earth again by flood, has been hijacked to represent the homosexual agenda should be evidence enough that something isn’t right with this so-called ‘rights’ movement.  Whether or not to go to Hell is a choice that every individual needs to make.  Rejecting God’s truth is one choice. However, by reading God’s Word and seeking to love him with all your heart, forgiveness and a renewing of the mind is possible.  Believe it.

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV)

 

What Did the 4 Blood Moons Signify?

By Leave a Comment

A few years ago, 2014 I think, I was asked by a very good friend what I thought the meaning of the 4 Blood Moons was. I had to say, “Honestly, I’m not sure…but if they mean anything, I think it’s a sign that war is approaching, and it’ll be war unlike any other.”

So for the last few months I’ve been sleeping with ear buds in, listening to David Hocking’s teachings on Revelation from YouTube. He has a very deep voice which for some reason helps me fall asleep. I’m not the first person to say such a thing, I know, because I met him in Edmonds, Washington this last Spring and he mentioned that a woman had recently told him the very same thing, which he questionably took as a compliment. Anyhow, the Revelation series plays for hours on end, and sometimes I wake up. When I do wake, as sleepy as I may be, I pay special attention to what he is talking about at that moment. Sometimes I feel that specific topics for me to dig into are being confirmed.

So at 2:00 am this morning when I woke, David Hocking was emphasizing the color Red in Revelation, in regards to the rider on the Red Horse and the Red Dragon being a fiery red or blood red color.

What follows are my notes which I may reformulate into more of a readable article later:

In the KJV Bible, the word ‘red’ occurs fifty-three times, six of which are in the New Testament. The color’s use in Scripture lends itself to symbolically meaning sin and sinfulness (Isaiah 1:18), Godly vengeance against sinners (Psalm 75:8, Isaiah 63:2), bloodshed and war (2Kings 3:22, Nahum 2:3, Zechariah 1:8, 6:2, Revelation 6:4, 12:3), as well as the temptation to sin (Proverbs 23:31).

Red Horses are mentioned in Zechariah 1:2 and 6:2

In Matthew 6:1-4 when the Pharisees and Sadducees asked Jesus for a ‘sign from heaven’ Jesus equated a red sky in the morning as being threatening.

The Greek work used is  πυρράζω  pyrrazō
Verb: to become glowing, grow red, be red, to redden

 

Another horse, fiery red, went out. And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword.
– Revelation 6:2

The red horse of Revelation 6, symbolizes war and bloodshed, appears when one of the prophetic end time seals is opened.

And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
– Revelation 9:17
And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns, and seven diadems on his heads.
– Revelation 12:3

The fiery red dragon represents Satan and his steadfastness to bring bloodshed and death to all, signaling the beginning of the Great Tribulation which is the worst time any human will ever experience.

The Greek word used in Revelation for red = πυρρός pyrros
adjective: having the colour of fire, red, fire-like, flame-colored

 

The Jewish Talmud (book of tradition) has interesting things to say about blood red moons:

“When the moon is in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel… If its face is as red as blood, [it is a sign that] the sword is coming to the world…”

Rabbi Meir said, “Whenever the luminaries are in eclipse, it is a bad omen for Israel since they are inured to blows. This may be compared to a school teacher who comes to school with a strap in his hand. Who becomes apprehensive? He who is accustomed to be daily punished.”

“Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them,”
– Jeremiah 12:2

 

The Bible reveals that God times used celestial events to speak to, prepare and warn His people of imminent earth-shaking events.

In Moses’ day, the camps of the Israelites were to be pitched in relationship to the sun, and their Passover meal was to be eaten at the going down of the sun.

The sun and the moon stood still for Joshua over Gibeon, so they could finish a war.

Young Joseph’s dream involved the sun, moon and stars.

Psalm 104:19 says, “He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.”

Isaiah 13:9-11 says, “Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the STARS of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the SUN shall be darkened in his going forth, and the MOON shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.”

“Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously”
– Isaiah 24:23

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.
– Joel 2:31

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
– Acts 2:20

 

 

 

There’s not much time

Obama has expelled 35 Russian diplomats as punishment for Russia allegedly hacking Democratic National Committee computers, releasing damning emails written to and from Hillary Clinton.

The United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 2334 condemning Israel and declaring all settlements illegal as well as declaring East Jerusalem ‘occupied territory’.

It’s no secret that the US Navy’s Nimitz Carrier Strike Group is on it’s way home from the …but it’s not being relieved by another aircraft carrier.  So the United States will have no carrier group in the Middle East for at least 2 months, leaving our #1 ally, Israel, virtually unprotected by it’s big brother.  It’s been reported that the United States does have one flat top naval ship in the Persian Gulf with a number of helicopters on it, but combat helicopters can not provide the same type of support that fighter jets can.  This concerns me.

There has been a string of BIG earthquakes along the Ring of Fire these last 2 months.

So, I’m burdened with the constant awareness that there is not much time left, that Jesus is coming back soon.

In Daniel 12:4, the angel tells Daniel to “shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end” and that “knowledge shall be increased.”
Perhaps this is the ‘time of the end’ the angel was speaking of, and perhaps the increase of knowledge is not limited to advancements in science and technology, but to biblical understanding as well.  If this is true, then only those who pray for wisdom and are actively seeking knowledge and understanding will obtain it…everyone else will be stuck  yesterday’s understanding of biblical prophecy, equivalent to believing the earth is flat even after enlightened scientists and mathematicians have proven otherwise.

It is apparent to me that most Christians these days are not ‘watching’ for Jesus’ return.  They are consumed with day to day living, their job, their family, and have little time left for studying God’s Word.

Excluding online ‘friends’, I feel somewhat alone in my beliefs that Jesus could be coming back soon, possibly on Feast of Trumpets 2017 which spans 2 days, September 23rd and September 24th.  I do leave room in my prophecy saturated mind for the possibility that the Rapture is not September 2017, but if it’s not, then the Revelation 12 Sign could be a road sign, warning of an impending change that is soon approaching.  Either way, ‘Maranatha!’
