I have had something really camped in my mind as of late and it’s only getting more pronounced, so i suppose I’d better get it off my chest. I do hope you take the time to read through and think about what is being said.
Many have erroneously attempted to pin-point a day when GOD is going to interrupt our world and set a new dispensation of events into place. I am not going to do that. Jesus has made it clear that NO ONE knows the day and hour of His return. Even though Jesus Christ was GOD walking in the skin of a literal man, the Bible makes it quite clear that He was not half-God and half-man, but rather ALL GOD, and yet ALL Man. There’s a huge difference between the two.
Yet, even though no man knows this day or hour, GOD has provided us ample information so that we can know the season—and we really don’t have to guess on that fact. We are there—
Here’s what I pray you will take the time to think about, even though I have brought it up before. For a few hours assume that we are all about to “cross the rubicon” (crossing over a line or into a place we’ve never been, and will never return to where we were”). What would you do with your life, knowing that fact? How would you change your thinking? How would you rearrange your priorities?
I am convinced we are closer to that point than the majority of us think, and what a tragedy it would be if we were not to see how important it is for us to make sure all is right and where it should be—especially where we really stand with GOD. This is not a time for guesswork of any kind! Even if you don’t feel the urgency that I do, how do you, or any of us for that matter, know that we are going to live through the day? Do you control the future? None of us do.
What is left of the year 2011 will usher in some major events that none of us have any control over. The world is experiencing a convergence of world as well as future-changing happenings, which will not allow the world as we know it to ever be the same again. Much of what is really going on is not being told by the media today. We are naive if we think this is not true.
You being a sensible person, are bound to have a number of things come to mind that you would change if you knew GOD were going to call you to stand before Him and give answer for your life before the day, week, or month were over. This has nothing to do with religious legalistic stuff, I hope that is understood. The thing is: We have all kinds of reasons why we don’t give GOD the time of day. We fill all 24 hours of all seven days of the week with work, play, entertainment, etc. None of these are wrong within themselves, but where is GOD, His instructions for life–the Bible, and our true relationship with Him on our true priority list?
Many of us SAY that all is well and our relationship with GOD is our #1 priority, but does GOD see it the same way you do?? We all need to be SURE! We are finite beings, but have been given the power of choice. GOD designed mankind to live forever, and all of us will. This short little test-run on the planet that we are all living is only temporary. We all will stand before GOD soon and give account for our choices in life—especially in respect to our relationship with our Creator GOD, which includes how we have chosen to respond to the sacrifice made by Jesus who provided the means—in fact, the ONLY way, to have our name inscribed in GOD’s Book of Life. This is no fairy-tale, neither is it a load of imagined religious malarky. It is the real deal. It doesn’t matter if we think it is true or not; nor does it matter if we would rather not get that deeply involved in the Christian walk—you know, church, Bible study, and all that stuff. It doesn’t matter if it is inconvenient for me to follow through to the point that I radically change how I live, so as to become pleasing in GOD’s sight. None of these things change the truth of the matter.
We need to be aware of what time it is! I am not setting any dates, but the world is a breath away from the Day of the LORD that the Bible speaks of abundantly. We have been given many, many signs in Scripture to watch for. GOD had no intention for His people to be caught off guard, yet so very many are! How many hundreds of thousands or even millions are out there who have been burned by church life and now avoid going? How many have been disappointed in a pastor, teacher, or Christian organization, to the point to where you want nothing to do with any of them? How many reading this post used to have a vibrant relationship with Jesus and were excited about your place in His coming Kingdom, but due to life’s problems / disappointments / failures / pressures / and other things, have let the fire nearly die?? HEY, WAKE UP! GOD does understand these things, but His requirements of us are still the same! GOD still is worthy of your absolute devotion, obedience to His ways, and pursuit of everything He has for you. If we do not do this, we are blowing it!
The predominant message from GOD today is this: PREPARE YOURSELVES FOR THE RETURN OF THE LORD GOD, because He is crossing the threshold. Why am I so adamant? Because I know that I know that I know it is a fact. This is the time that every one of us needs to have a very intimate one-on-one with our GOD, and MAKE SURE that we get to where we belong in our walk with GOD.
Many have erroneously given dates when Jesus was supposedly going to appear, or the world was going to end. First of all, the world is NOT GOING to end! But…Jesus is returning in our time—and may only be a heartbeat away. GOD’s time-clock is just about to strike midnight. Are you ready for that? I pray so, because there is no tragedy greater than having missed the gravity of this and not being prepared for it. Please tell me, what in this world is more important than our eternity?
I mentioned signs of the times. Israel however is the absolute bulls-eye of end-time prophetic events. What is happening in Israel as I write this post was foretold in the Bible thousands of years ago. Since 1948, everything in the world ended up being affected by what was happening in Israel. It has now developed to a fever pitch. Israel is becoming more and more isolated, with more and more of the world turning against them. The Bible specifically said that would happen. In fact, by the time it’s over, Israel will be standing alone—with only the Almighty GOD watching over them. For anyone that might question the legitimacy of Israel’s existence and being in their homeland, GOD says He is jealous over HIS land and HIS chosen people, the Israelites. GOD has never changed His mind about His covenant made with Abraham in Genesis 12: 2 & 3.
As I have shown before, Zechariah speaks of something that is happening, and will continue to escalate to its fulfillment in chapter 12 of his book in the Old Testament. It says this: “I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling…On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves…I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah…On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among sheaves. They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples, but Jerusalem will remain intact in her place…On that day the LORD will shield those who live in Jerusalem, so that thge feeblest among them will be like David, and the house of David will be like GOD, like the Angel of the LORD going before them. On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem!” (excerpts from Zechariah 12: 2-9, NIV)
This fall, in fact the Palestinians are going to petition the U.N. on September 29, 2011 for independent Statehood. You might ask, “What’s really wrong with that? Don’t they deserve their own land—like Israel?” First of all, the Palestinians are not a nation without a land of their own. They are a collection of different tribes that have moved from place to place. They have been forced out of other Arab countries because of the turmoil they caused. This is recorded in history so check it out for yourself. Probably the most notable example of this is when Yassar Arafat and the PLO were in Jordan and attempted to hijack the government. King Hussein Sr. had to have his military drive them out of the country. More than 100,000 people were killed at that time.
Another problem is this: Israel is more than willing to negotiate some type of settlement–although GOD is not in agreement with this plan. They do ask however that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the sovereign Jewish nation living in their own land. The Palestinian Authority has refused to recognize this, as well as a couple other crucial requirements that could possibly pave the way for this to actually come about. I have no animosity toward any peoples in the world, including the Palestinian people, but here is a question to ponder: Why is it that NONE of the Arab nations have offered the Palestinian people a place to call their own? Is it because they can’t afford to give up any of their land? Hardly! The Arab nations have sovereign control of hundreds of times the amount of land that Israel does. Israel proper is smaller than the state of New Jersey when you subtract the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Why is Israel required to give what the Palestinian people’s Arab brothers are not willing to give? Well, this is another subject and so I won’t go farther into it in this post.
Israel knows that its very existence is in jeopardy. The Palestinian people have a government run by Hamas, who’s charter calls for the complete and total destruction and removal from this earth, the nation of Israel.
So…what is coming at the end of September is HUGE. It will very likely bring war, or soon thereafter if not immediately or before. It’s interesting to note that the Jewish feast of Rosh-Hashanah, the Jewish new year, Feast of Trumpets. It is also called a day of Judgment. It is a time when the shofar is blown many times (I’ve heard it to be 100 times total), the last one interestingly enough being called the “last trump”! The Bible speaks of the last trump. This feast is a time of personal reflection and examination, and purposeful putting off of sins and getting reconnected with Jehovah GOD. This lasts ten days and leads directly to the Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
I think it will be rather interesting to see what develops from this, especially considering the box that the nations of the world will be trying to push Israel into, especially at the same time of this feast of reflection, repentance, and the Judgment side of this time. GOD is very well aware of what is going on. Every nation in the world that has taken a stand against Israel has already experienced harsh things, especially lately. I believe this is already fulfillment of some of what GOD has foretold would happen. This is going to escalate to the crescendo of Armageddon itself, which I believe will be this decade. Am I setting dates? NO! Jesus only said that no man knows the day or hour. He did not say that we wouldn’t be aware of the season.
There is a convergence of events coming together at this very same time but will have to be detailed in another post because there is so much. I am in process of compiling it, and it will be out very soon. I feel that time is so short the information needs to be made available. Let me say this though: One of the things that is happening has to do with the heavens above us. Comet Elenin (if it is really a comet), is real and has passed Mars on its trek to the inner Solar System, and is hurtling toward us. I have many thoughts to share about Elenin but will have to put it into a post on this subject by itself, again because of the amount of information beginning to come available. There is a great deal of mis-information about this comet, or whatever it really is. Personally, I believe it is a harbinger and is leading an entourage of planetary bodies that will be part of the events of the “Day of the LORD”.
I will say this about Elenin: I have in my possession a detailed paper documenting research that shows Elenin—or whatever is behind it, as having caused over 20 or more earthquakes on the planet Earth when it aligned with the earth and sun or other planetary bodies, as it has made its trek toward us in the last handful of years. I will provide this information. Here is something to think about though. All of the quakes, including the massive Chile quake, New Zealand quake, and Japan’s mega-thrust quake and tsunami were caused by these alignments, and it was still really far away. Yet, comets DO NOT have the mass capable of causing this type of movement! Now, Elenin is going to be perfectly aligned with the sun and earth when it comes very, very close to the earth. Hmmm, and it is happening between SEPTEMBER 26-29, 2011. Co-oincidence? Possibly, but I doubt it! After this alignment, it then makes its closest pass to the earth on about October 17, 2011 if the NASA timeline holds true. Then a week or two later, the earth passes right through the debris trail behind this entity! That could be something devastating in its own right. On November 22 there is another special alignment, and here we go…
I find it interesting to note that Russia has expressed great concern about this. Russia apparently has been feverishly building underground bunker type shelters—5,000 to be exact, but are afraid that “the event” will happen sooner than expected and they might not make it, or even have enough. Hmmm again. It also has been reported that a representative of the Russian space agency had an extended interview with the Pope about this very subject not long ago. So, what is really going on?? I suspect we will find out.
My purpose in the last couple paragraphs or so has not been to sensationalize anything, nor to cause fear. My purpose however has been to do everything I possibly can to urge some serious self-examination and preparation for the times we are living in. For Christians, this is not a time of “business as usual”. GOD is calling for us to examine ourselves very carefully, and listen carefully to what GOD’s Spirit shows us is amiss. We dare not ignore Him.
As far as the convergence of events are concerned, those are not as important as where we stand with our GOD. We are instructed to pay attention to what is happening though. Christian leaders for the most part are more than a little reluctant to touch on these things, and as a result, most people that attend church have no clue what is happening. That is a travesty and I believe that GOD will hold His chosen leaders accountable for the losses that result. This is scriptural. Many in leadership do not understand prophecy in the Scriptures and so avoid most of it, yet they will also not allow anyone else to do so. We are so scared of a “loose cannon” that we close the subject off completely…and God’s people either are very ignorant, confused about it all, or have to go to another source to learn what should be part of their spiritual diet in church.
GOD called those of us that are alive today to be here at this very time—ON PURPOSE. It was His plan to begin with. You don’t really think that you are here on planet earth today by accident, do you? That means that YOU have a specific purpose, big or little, although there is no such thing as a “little” purpose given by GOD. One word said at the right time when GOD has you say it, can have a world-wide ripple effect. This however also means that if I ignore GOD’s purpose for me that I will be held responsible for the ripple I did not cause, just because I didn’t really care. Think about that carefully. It’s heavy stuff.
So, is heaven really real? Yes. Is there a hell? Absolutely! Is Jesus really coming back as Messiah? Is He really going to rule the world from Jerusalem as KING of KINGS & LORD of LORDS? Yes, and yes! Is the time of the Great Tribulation a literal time of horror for this world? Absolutely! Are the things that Jesus warned about in Matthew 24 happening in our time? Yes; in fact this is the first time in history that all are happening at the very same time. Is the earth really going to face an onslaught from space objects, whether they be comets, asteroids, rogue planets, meteors, and the like? Yes, these things are already starting; in fact are on their way. I don’t believe every “vision” that people have, nor every dream that I read about. Many people just had some really bad pizza the night before. But, some very well known folks, who have an excellent track record, have already been shown the things that are on their way, and it was Almighty GOD that showed them. Are the FEMA camps that are built like concentration camps for real? Yes, they are, and have been confirmed by many that are able to confirm these things. Are there underground bunkers, in fact very large cities built underground to house and protect the elite globalists of this earth? Absolutely, and that has been well confirmed as well. Why would you think they have been built? It is because they know what the Bible speaks of in the Book of Revelation, although they think that they can outfox GOD. NOT!! Revelation 6: 12-17 says this: “I watched as He opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake. The sun turned black like sackcloth made of goat hair, the whole moon turned blood red, and the stars (meteors) in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll, rolling up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. They called to the mountains and the rocks. ‘Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”
My prayer for us all is that we recognize the time we are in and make the changes in our personal lives, whether it is how we live, what are commitments are, correcting situations that we should not be in because GOD’s Word has made it clear that it doesn’t fit into His plan, or re-aligning our priorities because we realize we need to prepare to stand before our GOD. Please do not put off whatever you personally need to take care of, whether you are a Christian or not. If you are not a Christian; have not made things right with GOD, please DO SO TODAY. If you are a Christian, please prepare the way of the LORD. Read Matthew 25: 1-13. This has to do with Christian people, and take it to heart. Jesus told that parable for a very good reason, and it really was written for our generation.
God Bless And Keep You All,
Jake
Awesome Jake! I have done a lot of my own research and study, and one thing I don’t know really anything about is this whole Elenin thing.
Great scriptures btw. I think placing God at the top of our priority list is key, to spend that exciting, one-on-one time with God with no distractions. Having an ongoing conversation with Him throughout your day, just enjoying His presence is awesome too. Just, throughout the day, thank him, praise Him, talk to Him, share your daily high and low points with Him, ask questions and really listen… always pressing closer, not just in the time you have set aside to be alone with Him. It can be an all day, everyday thing. Can’t wait for your next post brotha.
Love this passage: “My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly; He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path. When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil.” Proverbs 2:1-12
