Murmansk

Henry Gruver's 1985 VISION January, 1990

"All of a sudden I was up above the Earth looking down upon the earth like a globe.  As I looked down on the earth, I saw all of these massive amount of all kinds of ships and airplanes.  They were coming up above Norway, out of this inlet."

Many people have had dreams and visions of a devastating nuclear attack on America. A few have become more prominent than the others. One such vision is by Henry Gruver, quoted above. I'm not sure where I heard it, but I remember listening to a recording of Henry recalling his vision. In the recording he mentions Murmansk. You can locate it on a map. It's on the north shore of Russia, next to Finland. He says that this is where the attack originates, which he saw in his vision.

I say all that because I came across this and this, which happen to deal with that region in the context of military operations.

Spring 2011 anyone?

Pre-tribbers Beware!

Amos 5:18 Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! For what good is the day of the LORD to you? It will be darkness, and not light

19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!

20 Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

Are you looking forward to the rapture? Of course you are, because you think it's going to happen before any trouble starts. A quick ticket out of here. I used to think that too. For many, many years. Until I started reading my Bible. Once I figured out who Babylon was, I asked myself: who on God's green earth are those people who escape Babylon unharmed? Whom will God preserve? But it's not the kind of escape you are expecting. They escape to Zion. They return to their real homeland...God's land.

But here in Amos we see a warning. He's saying "Don't look forward to that day, the Day of the Lord. Woe to you if you look forward to it." Why? Because you've got it all wrong, just like the watchman of Isaiah 21.

Isaiah 21:4 My heart wavered, fearfulness frightened me; The night for which I longed He turned into fear for me.

The night I was looking forward to has turned into something I now fear...something I dread. It's going to be horrible. I thought it was going to be great, but now I understand. Now I know how it goes down. It's going to be horrible.

Jeremiah 50:4 "In those days and in that time," says the LORD, "The children of Israel shall come, They and the children of Judah together; With continual weeping they shall come, And seek the LORD their God.

Ezekiel 7:16 'Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains Like doves of the valleys, All of them mourning, Each for his iniquity.

Why are they weeping? Because of the utter and complete destruction they just witnessed.

One last warning from Amos:

Amos 9:10

All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, Who say, 'The calamity shall not overtake nor confront us.'

Are you a child of God? Then God is going to deal with you during the tribulation. (See Isaiah 8) Do you really think God is just going to take all the lovely christians home just like that? Wrong. Judgement begins at the house of God. God has to deal with all our sin and back-sliding and false mindsets. And once he does that, then we are his witnesses in the earth...

Isaiah 43:10

"You are My witnesses," says the LORD, "And My servant whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He. Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me.

v 11 I, even I, am the LORD, And besides Me there is no savior.

v12 I have declared and saved, I have proclaimed, And there was no foreign god among you; Therefore you are My witnesses," Says the LORD, "that I am God."

When Prophets Lie

Two Stories Yet One People

I believe people get tripped up by the Dispensationalist view. The view that says the church is never referred to as Israel in the Bible. Please don't send me scathing emails. Let's just agree to disagree. I realize that none of this makes any sense to the person with a different picture in their head. I was in that Dispensationalist camp for many, many years. When studying end-time prophecy, if you get just one thing wrong, you can be off by miles. Our pictures are not developed in a day. They are formed over a period of time. We start thinking one way and then we move on to the next question. We say 'this happens, so this must be next. And that goes over there'. All the while if we got the first thing wrong, the rest of the picture is out of focus too. God deals with christians now and jews later. Isn't that what they say? That's a powerful picture. We are told that Babylon won't know her fate. If so many people got Babylon wrong, what else did we get wrong? Is God going to have to re-teach us after all this goes down? You bet he will:

By the horses and chariots with which the Egyptians pursued the sons of Israel, and with which Pharaoh entered the sea Suph, where the wheels of the chariots were taken off, and by other things said of the horses and chariots, which make the larger part of that description (Exod. 14:6, 7, 9, 17, 23, 25, 26; 15:4, 19), are signified the things of understanding, of doctrine, and of false knowledge, together with the reasonings founded on them, that pervert and extinguish the truths of the church. The destruction and death of such things is there described.

Maybe, just maybe, God has only one people. One family with two different stories. A story of one who went out and filled the earth and forgot their resting place and a story of another who stayed home but didn't understand the Father's heart. Maybe those two stories, those two people will be reunited again like the two sticks of Ezekiel 37. Reunited as one family in his land in the last days, for all the world to see.

What will the nations witness in that day? What's God trying to show us all through tribulation?

Isaiah 14:32 What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, And the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

Malachi 3:18 Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.

How so?

Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions.

Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the LORD has said, Among the remnant whom the LORD calls.

Do you think all the christians will be raptured out at the start of that day? That's not what I'm seeing in the word. And what good would that do anyways? Don't you realize that we are partners with God in the last days...that we are his witnesses (Isaiah 43:10-12)?

Zechariah 9:13

For I have bent Judah, My bow, Fitted the bow with Ephraim, And raised up your sons, O Zion, Against your sons, O Greece, And made you like the sword of a mighty man."

Guess what? No Ephraim, no arrow. Christians will be raptured and Jews will remain...Judah will stay and Ephraim will go home to the sweet by and by before all the trouble starts. Not so fast. Ezekiel 37 says there are two sticks. Zechariah 9 says there are two parts...the bow and the arrow. Folks, this is called the time of Jacob's trouble, not Judah's trouble. Jacob represents the whole house of God. Judah is the older brother who stayed home. But in that day the two sticks will be reunited into one family, called Jacob (the children of Judah and the children of Israel). One family and one vine. Yeshua the Vine with many branches, joined and connected to one Vine. One family and one Vine. (Hosea 1:11)

But you say: Judah doesn't believe Yeshua is the Messiah. But they will, when Ephraim returns home. When Babylon is destroyed and the captives are set free to return to Zion. Then Gog will be turned around and will go after national Israel. The land will be laid waste. The land will be emptied. Why? Because God wants his people in his land. Yes, God will intervene and destroy the armies of Gog, but not before the land is emptied and laid waste (Zephaniah 2:4)...cleared out for the people of God (Isaiah 14:31)...the whole family of God (Joel 3:1). Then Judah will see...then their eyes will be opened (Zechariah 12:10; Joel 3:17).

Isaiah 29:23 But when he sees his children, The work of My hands, in his midst, They will hallow My name, And hallow the Holy One of Jacob, And fear the God of Israel.

24: These also who erred in spirit will come to understanding, And those who complained will learn doctrine."

Do you see? You want a ticket out of here, and who wouldn't? But you are needed. When he sees his children...you...then his heart will change.

Jeremiah 51:19

The Portion of Jacob is not like them, For He is the Maker of all things; And Israel is the tribe of His inheritance. The LORD of hosts is His name.

20 "You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms;

21 With you I will break in pieces the horse and its rider; With you I will break in pieces the chariot and its rider;

Chariots and horses again. This time being used in a negative context...a context of tearing down, not strength. Falseness rather than truth and right understanding. This represents false mindsets and false thinking that must be torn down. What is the tribulation but a tearing down and a rebuilding. A tearing down of high and lofty principalities of hell that rule this present age. And a rebuilding of earth under the proper rule and headship of Christ. A tearing down of all false thoughts and ways of God's people and a rebuilding of God's people to their rightful position in him:

Joel 2:22 Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; For the open pastures are springing up, And the tree bears its fruit; The fig tree and the vine yield their strength

23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, And rejoice in the LORD your God; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, And He will cause the rain to come down for you— The former rain, And the latter rain in the first month.

24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

25 "So I will restore...

Isaiah 40:4

Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth.

World War III

Update 2012/06/28


For a good understanding of the events of the first day of Tribulation, read my book: Decoding the Last Days, Volume 1: Isaiah.


----------------------------------
This post is a work in progress. Actually, this entire blog is a work in progress. It's meant to be food for thought as *you* do *your own* study. Some things I'm more confident of than others. I don't claim to have all the answers. I don't even claim all my answers are perfectly correct. We see through a glass darkly. My prayer for all of us is that we would allow the holy spirit to reveal his truth to us through the Word. Hopefully this post will take shape over the coming months.

My collection of thoughts thus far:

I place WWIII, for lack of a better term, at the beginning of The Day of the Lord...or 'day'. That 'day' I'm also referring to as the tribulation period. These are the events that set in motion that 'day'.

The 'day' begins with sudden destruction. How sudden is sudden? I don't know. It's a relative term. Hours, days, weeks?

The destruction of Babylon is linked to the beginning of that 'day' in Isaiah 13, Revelation 14:6-8, Isaiah 21:12, Zechariah 5, Zephaniah 2:15, Ezekiel 7

Ezekiel 38 describes a two-prong attack. This is not the traditional view. However, I'm just stating what I'm seeing. I believe verses 10-14 talk about an attack on America/Babylon, the wealthy nation of unwalled villages...having neither gates nor bars. The other attack is on the land of Israel. Yes, I know some very well-respected teachers are expecting those walls in the land of Israel to come down before Ez38 can be fulfilled. That's nice. Form your own opinions.

I'm not sure if we're given a definite sequence of events in Ez. 38. My thinking is that the hook in the jaw gives us a picture. On your globe, start at Russia, go north until you reach America, now turn around and go back up over the north pole, all the way down to Israel. That's how I read it. You have to be going the opposite direction before you can be turned around. I'm not sure how long that whole process takes. Jets are very fast, tanks are very slow.

"When America goes to war with China, the Russians will strike without warning."

This quote is taken from a vision by Dumitru Duduman. While I don't place anyone's visions on par with the Bible, I do believe Duduman was a prophet. I've read all of his visions, and while I don't understand everything, in many instances it lines up with the Bible.

I'm not sure how all this fits together. In Habakkuk 2:7 we see that her creditors rise up suddenly. Certainly China is one of our largest creditors. He says "when America goes to war with China." Does this mean we will declare war on China? Or is it semantics? There's no question that China and Russia today are cooperating militarily. If America is destroyed on a spring evening when the king is feasting, then how does that fit with war with China? How does all that play out? Wouldn't a state dinner be canceled? We have wars going on now yet we still have state dinners. Is 'war with China' some sort of signal to the other forces? We know that Jeremiah 51:27 talks about a signal.

Habakkuk 2:17 says "For the violence done to Lebanon will cover you..." Is this referring to an ancient event in Lebanon or a yet-future event...or something past but recent?

Where does the Isaiah 17 destruction of Damascus fit in to this sequence of events? Why is the destruction of Damascus (looks like nuclear) linked to the destruction of Babylon? Is it just an overview and not necessarily a sequence? Zechariah 9:1 seems to indicate that Damascus will be destroyed in phase 2...phase 1 being the wildly successful destruction of America, phase 2 being the wildly unsuccessful attack on national Israel. Why? Because "all the eyes of men and all the tribes of Israel are on the Lord." All eyes are on God. All the tribes of Israel...all 'lost' tribes of Israel...all of God's people. All the christians (Ephraim) who were just rescued from nuclear annihilation. This is an epic event...it's a new world order. From chaos, order. But during phase 2 Damascus is destroyed.

Interesting article regarding Bozrah/Petra (referencing Jeremiah 49) at the end of tribulation.

Jeremiah 50:16

Cut off the sower from Babylon, And him who handles the sickle at harvest time. For fear of the oppressing sword Everyone shall turn to his own people, And everyone shall flee to his own land.

I believe the people mentioned here are migrant workers. Illegals even. Something has them spooked. So much so that they return to their homelands. For fear of the oppressing sword. For fear of war coming to the land. Seems there is some notice here. As I try to make sense of it all, this is what I think. There would be some sort of plan to get America to bring her military home. At least a significant portion of it from all those hundreds of bases around the world. War is coming, bring the troops home. Migrant workers leave. Nuclear missiles begin to fly.

Israel Already Divided?

Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; And I will enter into judgment with them there On account of My people, My heritage Israel, Whom they have scattered among the nations; They have also divided up My land

There's so much talk these days about dividing up Israel. Clearly God is against this. It's his land to do with as he pleases. But man in his arrogance doesn't care what God wants. God actually singles out this one issue as a point of contention he has with the wicked men in the last days. The days just prior to the tribulation, the Day of the Lord. But let's take a step back and ponder this a minute.

Isn't the land already divided?

I read Joel and can't help but to think it's a description of The Day of the Lord from the perspective of the land of Israel. I say 'land' here because I want to make a distinction. I'm coming to believe there are two things to consider when we say Israel. First, we can talk about the land of Israel. This is the land where God has placed his name. When we think of this land, really we should be thinking from God's perspective. The current nation of Israel sits on only a portion of the original boundaries that God set forth. So really when God says 'the land of Israel, My land' I believe God's perspective is greater Israel. The God-given boundaries of the land. So in this sense, the land is most definitely divided. Now, what about the current boundaries? Is the current nation of Israel divided? Most definitely it is. There are walls of division and there are various people groups relegated to certain areas. The 'Jews' here, the Palestinians there.

So on the one hand we have the land of Israel. And on the other we have the people called Israel.

"My people, My heritage Israel"

Who is this talking about? The mainstream view is anyone who is "Jewish." Is that God's view? The mainstream view is that all the true 'christians' will be raptured outta here at the start of the tribulation so God can focus his attention on all the sinners, on one hand, and on the 'jews' on the other hand. That's the mainstream view. But is that God's view?

What about this?

Romans 9

v 6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel,

v7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."

v8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.

I encourage everyone to go and read Romans 9. These few verses I list here don't do it justice. But I want to pose a question to you: When you read "My people, My heritage Israel", who is God talking about? What is God's perspective when he says that? I have to point something out there because I know there will be people who accuse me of believing in replacement theology or something like that. I don't believe that and I'm not talking about that. Look at verse six. Look at that word "all." They are not *all* Israel who are *of* Israel. I'm not going to go into it here, but let me put a bow on it. God knows those who belong to him. (Nahum 1:7)

I found an interesting article that deals with this subject if you would like further reading.

After you ponder that for a while, then ponder this as well. Why does God differentiate between Israel and Judah? Such as here:

Jeremiah 50:4

"In those days and in that time," says the LORD, "The children of Israel shall come, They and the children of Judah together; With continual weeping they shall come, And seek the LORD their God

I didn't just randomly pick this verse. We know that Jeremiah 50 and 51 are talking about the final, complete destruction of some end-time nation referred to as Babylon. We can read other chapters like Revelation 18 and surmise that these passages are giving different views of the same, yet-future, event.

Do you see how one train of thought leads to another, and yet another? Of course none of this makes any sense to the person who refuses to think beyond the picture they already have in their head. In fact, if you are like I was, you've probably already clicked away from this page. But if you have an open mind, then you might be following what I'm trying to convey.

IF you understand who Babylon is, then you can proceed to the next question.

At least that's how it was for me. First I had to understand the identity of this end-time Babylon. Until I realized who she is, the rest of it made no sense. But once I understood that Babylon is code for America, I was able to ask the next question:

When? When will this happen? When will America be destroyed?

I believe we're given the answer in scripture. I believe the timing of her destruction is linked to the beginning of tribulation, the very beginning of the Day of the Lord. I won't go into it here, but I believe that answer is found in Isaiah 13, Revelation 14, and Zechariah 5. What's the next question? This is what I asked myself next:

What about me?

I'm an American. I'm saved. What about me? What will become of me? What will become of my family? What will become of my neighbors? I can see what will happen to America, but what's next?

The rapture? That's the mainstream view. That's the pervasive view in the mainstream church of America. Certainly God must snatch us all outta here before the bombs fly. We know that we belong to God. That we are his people. We know that attending a weekly church service won't save us. We know that we have to have a personal relationship with God through the shed blood of Jesus. We know that we've made that confession of Jesus and we've repented and were baptized, showing forth our confession of Jesus as our Savior and the new life he gives us in him.

We know that now we are no longer separated from him and we are not the object of his wrath. We read in his word that we are not appointed to wrath. The Day of the Lord is not about judging his children. It's about judging the world and reclaiming this world for Yeshua.

So it must be rapture time, right?

Really, is that what God's word says? I know that's the picture many have in their head. And those pictures are powerful things. But is it the truth? I had to reconcile this in my head...if I'm not appointed to wrath, then how could I possibly go through the tribulation? When it all boils down, isn't that the question everyone is trying to answer with the rapture?

People, if we would just read the Word of God. You are not children of darkness, but you are children of light. I bless you today that the eyes of your understanding would be open regarding the last days. May the spirit of God reveal to you the truth of his word. There is one spirit and one revealer of truth. May Father open our eyes and may we all receive his truth and may we all speak the same things and see the same things in his word.
