G1.9 ~60AU ETA 2016?

Just something I've been pondering...

Is G1.9 the same "disturbance" that we read about in Exodus and also when The Day of the Lord is mentioned? I really don't know.  But I find it interesting.  So here's your homework lesson.  Assuming it's not really a supernova like we're being told by NASA, but rather a brown dwarf (by this group) that's headed our way, how long will it take to get here?  Is it traveling at a rate of about one astronomical unit per month?  If so, and if this is what I'm reading in the Bible, then I would expect it to be about 60 AU's from us currently.  Interesting.

So what would be the estimated time of arrival?

June 5, 2016?

Coincidence?


In 2009, during his keynote speech at the Copenhagen climate conference, Prince Charles said:

"For the grim reality is that our planet has reached a point of crisis and we have only seven years before we lose the levers of control."

Very interesting choice of words he used here.  Is our climate going to somehow spin out of control in 2016?  Will we truly lose control of the levers?  It does sound very ominous.  In fact, I would not normally expect such words of doom to be used by a well-known statesman.  I wonder what's the basis for pegging the year 2016.  Is it possible he knows something we don't?  Certainly he is a well-connected person and I would expect him to have access to the very best information.  Could he have pegged the year 2016 because he knows when a certain object will be passing by our little blue planet?  I'm only speculating here.

You Only Have I Known

Micah 1:5
All this is for the transgression of Jacob And for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [Is it] not Samaria? And what [are] the high places of Judah? [Are they] not Jerusalem?


All of this?  All of what?  Read the first four verses of Micah.  It's the beginning of the judgment of the earth.  The Day of the Lord is beginning.  It's the beginning of the tribulation.


And guess what?  God is saying here one of the main reasons he has to stand up to judge the earth is because of the sin of his people.  "Oh, but God's people will be raptured before all the trouble starts."  Mmm,hmm.  You are believing a lie.  A big lie.


"Oh, but he's talking about the Jews!  You see, when the church age is over God will focus back on the Jews.  Haven't you heard???"  Uh, yeah, right.  That's a lie too.  A big lie.

"But it says Israel and Jacob and Samaria and Jerusalem!"

Yes, it does.  Do you know what it means?  If you continue to cling to your belief that the Church isn't ever called Israel in the Bible then you have to also conclude that God doesn't know you.


Amos 3:2
"You only have I known of all the families of the earth; Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."


So what's your answer?  Either God knows the church as Israel or God doesn't know the church.  Which one is it?  Paul knew the correct answer.


Galatians 6:16
And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy [be] upon them, and upon the Israel of God.


What's he talking about in chapter six?  He's talking about the Church.


"Oh, but his can't be!"


Isaiah 41:8
"But you, Israel, [are] My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, The descendants of Abraham My friend.


Hmm, where have I read that phrase before?


Romans 9
6  But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they [are] not all Israel who [are] of Israel,
7  nor [are they] all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called."
8  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.


So do Isaiah 41 and Romans 9 contradict one another?  No!  The house of Israel is the Church.  The house of Judah is the Jews.


Folks, don't you know what Jeremiah 18 says?  God had to remake the lump of clay.  He had to remake the house of Israel into a different vessel.  Israel left God so God divorced Israel.  When I say Israel I'm talking about the ten northern tribes...the northern kingdom of Israel.  I'm NOT talking about Judah...the southern kingdom.  Judah remains.  The law, the Torah, was passed down generation to generation through Judah.


Do you not realize that God's people are overrun by sin?  Just look around.  Are you going to make me list out all of our sin?  Look up the phrase "spirit of harlotry" in the prophetic books of the Bible and you'll be on the right track.  It's talking about us!  Do you think God is going to accept us just as we are?  If you think that then you are believing a lie.  God is after a holy remnant.  He wants us to live holy lives.  "Be holy because I am holy."  He wants us to live clean lives before him and stop worshiping worthless idols.


"OH, but I have Jesus."  Well, you may.  You may trust in Yeshua.  That's a great start.  But if you believe you get off scotfree when the tribulation arrives then you haven't been reading your Bible.  You are ignoring most of the prophetic text of the Bible that speaks of the latter days.  The Bible makes it clear that the people of God are living in sin when the trouble starts.  And we see in Micah that the trouble starts because the people of God are living in sin.  Do you believe in the pre-trib rapture doctrine?  Then you aren't reading your Bible.  You are taking a couple of verses out of context.  What's the proper context?  Read Matthew 24.

Amos 3:3
Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?


Sorry, we're not in agreement with God.  Just look around.  Then compare the lives of the people to the kind of life God expects us to live.

"Oh, but God has shown us great lovingkindness by sending us Yeshua to take the penalty of our sin on himself."  Yes, he did.  He broke down the wall between us and God.  Those who repent and believe on him will be saved.  But what was that penalty?  It was death and ultimate separation from God.  Don't you know that whom God loves he corrects?  If you think because you have Christ that we as a nation and as a people won't be punished for our sin, you are sadly mistaken.  America plays the part of the great harlot and the people of God play right along.  The truth is that we have become very comfortable with our sin.

Jeremiah 30:11 ...But I will correct you in justice, And will not let you go altogether unpunished.'
When?
v 24 ...In the latter days you will consider it.

"Oh, but God would never take away his lovingkindness."  Wrong again.

Jeremiah 16:5

For thus says the LORD: "Do not enter the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away My peace from this people," says the LORD, "lovingkindness and mercies.

Folks, cast away all your idols.  Repent and live clean lives before the Father.

The Day And Hour No One Knows

Wow, I can't tell you how irritated I am to read this kind of statement:

"It's going to end sometime, but I think his pages must have stuck together in his copy of the Bible where it says we are not to know the hour or the moment."

I've seen this kind of statement so many times lately it really makes me want to scream from a mountain top.  "WAKE UP, PEOPLE!" ....  "START READING YOUR BIBLES."


Look at the utter hypocrisy of this man's statement!  In one stroke he accuses Camping of the VERY SAME THING of which he himself is guilty.  He accuses Camping of not knowing what the Bible says yet he is so wise.  He knows one verse but doesn't even know to what it's referring!  The pride in this country reaches to the very heavens.


Hosea 5:5
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; Therefore Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; Judah also stumbles with them.


Everyone quotes this verse...everyone who has no idea what they're talking about.  Why?  Because they don't read their Bibles.  We live in microwave, catch-phrase, fast-food society.  "Read my Bible?  Oh, no, I go to church...that's where I get my Bible teaching."  Unfortunately the pastors like to throw out a verse here and there and they don't know what they're talking about because they don't study their Bibles either.  The blind leading the blind.


Jeremiah 6:10
To whom shall I speak and give warning, That they may hear? Indeed their ear [is] uncircumcised, And they cannot give heed. Behold, the word of the LORD is a reproach to them; They have no delight in it.


God is saying, Who can I tell about the coming judgment?  Who will actually listen?  They all refuse to listen because sin has made them deaf.   They won't read my Words.  They have no delight in My words to them.


How true, how true.  Ignorance is bliss, I suppose. ....  Until it's not.  When the day finally comes...


And the songs of the temple Shall be wailing in that day," Says the Lord GOD--"Many dead bodies everywhere, They shall be thrown out in silence."  (Amos 8:3)


The Real Meaning


So what does it really mean...the day and hour no one knows?  Folks, if you would just read your Bibles you would know that it is Yeshua talking about the day he returns...not the day the Day of the Lord begins, a.k.a. the tribulation.  And they are not the same day.  There will be a time of great trouble before Christ returns...that's the Day of the Lord, when he stands up to judge the world; beginning with his people.


Matthew 24:36 
"But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.


That day??  What day?  Go up a few verses:


Matthew 24:30
"Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.


He is talking about the day he returns to earth.


The Real REAL Meaning


God told his people to observe seven annual feasts. (Leviticus 23)  One of those seven is to BEGIN at the sighting of the first sliver of the new moon.  It is the only feast that begins this way.  This feast can begin at any point within a twenty-four hour time period.  Therefore, it is the day and hour no man knows.  This is an old Jewish idiom.  The Jews at the time of Christ, when he spoke these words, knew that he was referring to the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah).


Folks, read your Bibles.  And PLEASE stop throwing out this verse as an excuse for NOT studying your Bibles.

The Day and Hour EVERYONE Should Know

Harold Camping's Real Damage

First, I'm shocked by how much press Harold Camping's 5/21/11 prediction got.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't mind it when people try to warn others that we are living in the last days.  If anyone should know and tell others that we are in fact approaching the day when God will stand up to judge this world, it's the church.  And it's not just the church that's reminding people.  We see doomsday movies come out of Hollywood and we see documentaries on cable all the time.  I'd make a joke about Captain Obvious but I'm afraid that many people are still oblivious to the times in which we're living.


I don't mind that Camping set a date.  What I do mind though is that he appears to be reading from a completely different script than what I'm reading.  And I mind that the majority of mainstream Christianity are going along with parts of that script.  Folks, the reason we fail to discern God's message about the last days is because we don't know how to understand.  Isaiah 28 tells us how to understand the message: "precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little."  If you got it wrong, like I did last year, then you misunderstood a precept or a line...or you didn't know about a precept or line. Keep studying.  


I completely disagree with Steve Wohlberg, who also got a ton of press during this whole debacle.  He says the Bible doesn't give a date for when the tribulation begins.  Well, true.  But it gives us enough information to be able to discern it.  And this is what Paul meant when he said "But you are not in darkness."


1 Thessalonians 5:4
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.


Revelation 3:3
"Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you.


"OH, but that's written to Sardis, not us."  Mmm,hmm, you can believe that if you want.  What does Sardis mean?  Look it up.


Folks, why would God even bother giving us so many clues about the end if we couldn't figure out when his judgments begin?


The World Missed The Point


I have no problem that Camping set a date.  But I have two problems with him.  One, he didn't add precept to precept and line to line.  The message is understood by taking all the prophetic texts collectively.  Study your Bible, people!  Second, his message is dangerous not because he was wrong about the date but because he was wrong about the outcome.


He told everyone to repent so they would avoid God's judgment during the tribulation.  He told everyone that they would experience "Peace" and that no harm would come to them.  He told them they would be raptured before the trouble starts.  Folks, this is the sign of a false prophet.  When a nation or a people sins as we have, they fall under a curse.  And that curse, if they don't repent, eventually results in judgment...not peace.  And that is where we are today.


The Bible has much to say about the latter days, aka the tribulation aka The Day of the Lord.  Study your Bibles.  It's not about peace, even for God's people.  Why?  Because according to the Bible the people of God are living in sin in the last days.  To say we will be raptured before the trouble starts is to ignore MOST of the prophetic text of the Bible.


I encourage you to start studying your Bibles...the whole thing.  And I encourage you to start with Isaiah 28, Jeremiah 23 and Ezekiel 13.


If you are misleading people with a message of 'peace', then your very life depends on what you will do next.

A Great Sacrificial Meal

I've written extensively in other posts regarding the wilderness experience.  Those whom God spares from certain death in  America (Malachi 3:17) he will bring out into the wilderness to be tested and winnowed.(Jeremiah 15:7)  The exact location  of the wilderness is given.  Just north-east of the Dead Sea.   The same place ancient Israel ended up when God led them out of Egypt.  It's truly unfortunate that only one-third of  those who escape the first fire (America) will also escape the second fire (Battle of Gog/Magog).(Ezekiel 15:7)

All of these verses are referring to the same moment in time, just after America is destroyed. (this is by no means an exhaustive list)

Ezekiel 20
35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face.
36 Just as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,"  says the Lord God.

The people of God will be given a choice

Hosea 9:5
What will you do in the appointed day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?

Ezekiel 39:17
..."Assemble yourselves and come; Gather together from all sides to My sacrificial meal which I am sacrificing for you, a  great sacrificial meal on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

Jeremiah 15:11

The LORD said: "Surely it will be well with your remnant; Surely I will cause the enemy to intercede with you In the time of adversity and in the time of affliction.  (note: whereas a typical oppressor would destroy his enemy, we see something else going on here.  This oppressor will give the people of Jehovah a choice.  Only he, and those who go with him, do not realize what will happen next.)

Two-thirds will choose wrong

 

Isaiah 65:12

Therefore I will number you for the sword, And you shall all bow down to the slaughter; Because, when I called, you did not answer; When I spoke, you did not hear, But did evil before My eyes, And chose [that] in which I do not delight."

Isaiah 6:13

...and will return and be for consuming..."

Isaiah 31:6

Return [to Him] against whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted (H5493 carah - defection).


[Note: please read Isaiah 30 and 31.  Both chapters go into detail regarding this defection and destruction of these who depart.]


2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no one deceive you by any means; for [that Day will not come] unless the falling away (G647 apostasia, defection) comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,

Hosea 7:13

"Woe to them, for they have fled from Me! Destruction to them, Because they have transgressed against Me! Though I redeemed them, Yet they have spoken lies against Me.

Ezekiel 39:23
The Gentiles shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to  Me, therefore I hid My face from them.  I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

Ezekiel 15:8
Thus I will make the land desolate, because they have persisted in unfaithfulness, says the Lord God."

Jeremiah 17:13
O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who forsake You shall be ashamed.  "Those who depart from Me shall be written in the  earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters."

Zachariah 13:8
And it shall come to pass in all the land," says the Lord, "That two-thirds in it shall be cut off and die, but one-third  shall be left in it:

Revelation 7:13
Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"

"What do you mean?  God allowed them to die but they still end up in heaven?"  That's exactly what the Bible tells us.  Line upon line.  After all, these are God's people.  He spared them certain death in America.  But they didn't have enough  faith to continue.  Folks, God is after a holy remnant.  A people sold out to him.  A people who will trust him no matter what situation in which we find ourselves.

"Well how do you know all of these are talking about the same event?"  Study your Bibles, people.  We are told how that  day will play out.  Line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little, there a little. (Isaiah 28)  "My people are  destroyed for lack of knowledge." (Hosea 4:6)  Where there's lack of knowledge, faith would have made up the difference.   But two-thirds lacked enough faith to trust God.  Instead, when given a choice, they went with the enemy.  Only they didn't realize what God had planned for the enemy.  (Yes, I'm speaking of future events in the past tense.  The Bible says it will happen this way.  But which group will YOU be in?) These two-thirds (roughly 20 million of God's  people) will be destroyed along with the army  of Gog/Magog.  Well, why didn't God stop his people from making that choice?  Free will. Turn your back on God and suffer  the consequences.  The two-thirds believed the conspiracy of the enemy. (Isaiah 8:12)  Don't you know?  Haven't you read?  God is a strong tower and a sure defense to those who trust in Him.   But woe to him who strikes the Judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod in the land of Gad ("troops") (Micah 5:1) by going with the enemy instead of  staying and waiting on deliverance from God. (Isaiah 8:17)

I believe this is what Duduman's "The Black Army" vision is referring to.  "But I don't get it.  The vision says Satan is the head of the army but the head of Gog/Magog is a man."  Read Zechariah 3.  "Then he showed me Joshua the priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him."  This Joshua reminds me of another Joshua...the Joshua who was allowed to enter the promised land after 40 years in the wilderness.  Although our journey in the wilderness after America is destroyed will only be four months, the principle is the same.  This Joshua represents the remnant of the house of Israel, the present day church in America, who remained faithful.  Just as Joshua and Caleb brought back the good report, (which was not so much a praise of the land as it was a stand of faith in their Jehovah who can do all things, and in whom they trusted completely to keep his word)...so it is with this remnant, whom this Joshua the high priest represents.  This remnant will trust their Jehovah even in the face of overwhelming odds and threats of the enemy.  This remnant, like a firebrand plucked from the fire, plucked from the fire of America, which was destroyed in one hour by nuclear bombs (Revelation 18), will not regard the threats of the enemy.  As it's written:

Isaiah 8:12
"Do not say, 'A conspiracy,' Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, Nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.


1 Peter 3:14
But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, [you are] blessed. "And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled."

Even Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land because he dishonored God.  "...Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel...". (Numbers 20:12)  So it was, so it will be.  Those who rebel against God in unbelief will not be allowed to enter the land.  These two-thirds will make it to the wilderness, but they will suffer the same fate as the priests and prophets who didn't even make it out of America alive. (Malachi 2:9)

It's as if God says to those unfaithful "...Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the world..."

But to those who remain faithful he says "...therefore you are My witnesses," says the Lord, "that I am God." (Isaiah 43:12)

Strengthen your faith now, people, while there is time.  Which group will YOU be in?

I Will Destroy My People

Jeremiah 15:7

And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children; I will destroy My people, since they do not return from their ways.

There's good reason the title of this blog starts with "Wake Up".  The people of America are in some sort of sleep state.   It's kinda surreal and also eerie to observe this.  I liken it to the stories we've heard about the Titanic sinking into the  ocean.  The band just kept on playing.  We watch the movie and everyone says "I can't believe how they are acting. Are  they crazy?!?"  But here we are, a little more than 5 years away from the complete and utter destruction of the great  mother of harlots: America.  ...and people just go about their lives like nothing is happening.  The band keeps playing.

And the people of God in America are no different.  If only his people would start reading their Bibles.  They might see  things differently.  They might begin to see, period.(Isaiah 6:9)  Maybe spiritual sight would return.  Do God's people  really know him?  He says we don't. (Jeremiah 4:22, Hosea 5:4)  "Oh, that's not talking about us. That's about ancient Israel."   Well, you can certainly believe that if you want to.  But Jeremiah was commissioned to speak to both the people of his  generation and the people of the last generation...our day.  "Oh, but we have churches on every corner. Many of us attend  church and read our Bibles."  Mmm,hmmm. That's exactly what Isaiah 58:2 says about us too...only it's all pretense.  It's  all a show.  I like the New Living translation of that verse: "Yet they act so pious! They come to the Temple every day  and seem delighted to learn about me..."  "Oh, but this can't be talking about the church in America. This is the Old  Testament..."  Keep on seeing but don't perceive... Isaiah 6:9

It's amazing the things you find out when you read the Bible...God's message to mankind.  "Oh, but I'm so busy, I have  work and kids and school and...and I can't miss my favorite shows...and then there's soccer practice and bath time and  choir practice and of course we attend church every Sunday...that's where I get my Bible teaching. The pastor is just so  nice and I love how he talks about grace and the goodness of God. And the mother's day service was so nice...and the kids  loved the Easter egg hunt. The choir is so lovely singing praises."  Wow, I'm getting nauseous just thinking about how  things are today.  Kinda like drinking lukewarm water...makes me want to vomit.(Revelation 3:15)

Who do you think James is talking about in chapter 5?: "Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are  coming upon you!...You have lived on the earth in pleasure and luxury; you have fattened your hearts as in a day of  slaughter."  This can't possibly be related to Babylon in Revelation 18, can it?  "...and have become rich through the  abundance of her luxury."  It absolutely is related!  Look at James 5:3 "...You have heaped up treasure in the last days."   And I might add that many of you can't even put your car in your garage because it's overflowing with all your treasures.   All the while the cause of the poor and downtrodden (those whom Yeshua came to give hope, through OUR hands), goes  forgotten and neglected.  Oh, but we can't miss the concert when our church brings in the big-name singer.

"Oh, but we know him.  We know all about God." (Hosea 8:2)  Oh, really?  Jeremiah 9:24 says "But let him who glories glory  in this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, exercising lovingkindess, judgment, and righteousness in  the earth. For in these I delight," says the Lord."  Well, the people of God know about that first one:  lovingkindness. But that's about it. And how can we not know about it...it's all the pastors want to talk about lest they  lose their precious congregation to the church up the street who also is only patting the sheep on the back, telling them  how lovely they all are.  It was one of the last messages I heard: "God is pleased with you! The angels love to see us all  assembled here in one place so they can gaze upon us"...or some such nonsense.  But it wasn't qualified: God is pleased  with you IF...  IF you are doing those things that he says are important to him.  IF you are living a clean life before  him.  IF you are obeying him.  Obedience is better than sacrifice.  "For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the  knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." (Hosea 6:6)

"Oh, but God would never take away his lovingkindness!"  Oh, really?  Let's take a look at the very next chapter.

Jeremiah 16:5

For thus says the LORD: "Do not enter the house of mourning, nor go to lament or bemoan them; for I have taken away My peace from this people," says the LORD, "lovingkindness and mercies.

"Oh, but this is the Old Testament...we're under a new deal now."  Oh, really?  OK, here you go:

Romans 11:22

Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in [His] goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off.

Do you really know him?  Do you know that he's coming to destroy his people?  "Oh, God wouldn't do that. We're not  appointed for wrath.  We're going to be RAPTURED!!! before all the trouble starts."  Yeah, he knew people would believe that lie that the false prophets are teaching today.  Did you ever consider that maybe he meant something else when he said "wrath"?  That maybe he meant eternal  damnation?

Jeremiah 15:7

And I will winnow them with a winnowing fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children; I will destroy My people, since they do not return from their ways.

Even if this were talking about just ancient Israel, which it's not, God doesn't change.  Many people think Yeshua arrived  and now everything is peaches and cream; we all get off scotfree as long as we accept the work Yeshua did for us on the  tree.  Did you know that to correctly understand the New Testament our understanding has to agree with Old Testament, and vice-versa?  God doesn't  change.  And when the Old OR New Testament speaks of the "last days" our ears should perk up and our hair should stand on  end...and every pastor today should have Jeremiah 23 and Malachi 2:9 memorized.  Why?  Because it's talking about us!  About what's shortly going to occur!  But the band just keeps playing...

So what is Jeremiah talking about?  What's the winnowing fan?  It's the wilderness experience that this generation will  experience.  Those whom God spares from the destruction of America ("she who borne seven" Jer. 15:9, she who sits on seven  mountains - Revelation 17:9...mother of harlots)...those of God's people whom he spares from certain death will be brought  out into the wilderness. And there he will contend with us. (Ezekiel 20:36-38, Micah 6:2)  And the gates?  Why does it say  gates?  A gate is an entrance.  The entrance for the people of God, both ancient Israel and God's people of today, is the same place.  Ancient Israel crossed over the Jordan, just north of the Dead Sea.  And that is the exact same spot  that we will end up when America meets her demise.  That location, just east of the Jordan River, north-east of the Dead Sea, is  the gate.  Those who persist in unfaithfulness will not cross over the river into the promised land. (Ezekiel 15:7-8)  But those who are faithful will be allowed to enter the through the gates as Isaiah 26:2 states: Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.

And just as Moses, the first shepherd of  Israel, was not allowed to enter the promised land because he dishonored God, so it will be in our day.  The priests  and prophets today who dishonor God by misleading his people with a false message of "peace" will not even make it out of America alive.  (Jeremiah 23..in the last days you will understand it perfectly. Ezekiel 13, Isaiah 28 and many other texts).  "Strike the  shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.  Then I will turn My hand against the little ones." Zechariah 13:7  Keep reading  Zechariah 13 to see how many betray God (Jeremiah 17) and how many will end up crossing over the Jordan. Hint: only one-third of those who escape the first fire will also escape the second fire.  Joshua, in Zachariah 3, is a type of God's people who were just rescued from nuclear holocaust in America!  Look at how he's described...filthy, wearing rags...like a firebrand just plucked from the fire.

So what's the point of this post?  I can't say it any plainer.  Wake up now, people, while there is still time.  As James says, weep and howl. Repent  of your complacency.  God pleads with us today: "Learn to do good..." Isaiah 1:17.

Moab Fights Back

Click for a more recent examination of Isaiah 16. >>


In reference to Moab's Night of Terror, someone has already asked how I know these two judgments occur within an hour or  so of each other.  I didn't elaborate on it because I just have a lot going on right now. I didn't even tell you who Moab  is. (Ancient Moab was located just east of the Dead Sea.  This passage is talking about that modern day location within  the borders of modern Jordan.)  It takes more time than I have right now to delve into all the little details.  In short,  I know because as I'm studying the Bible a picture is developing in my head. 

The last act of the president of the U.S. is to send bombs to the middle east.  So we know that has to happen before  America is destroyed.  Also, see Isaiah 17 speaking of the destruction of Damascus, then later in the chapter speaking of  the destruction of America.  These are two examples, here's one more:

Look at Isaiah 16:3.  It helps to look at the original Hebrew definitions. Once we begin to understand what's going on in  a passage we can use those original definitions to form a clearer understanding of a passage.  Isaiah 16:3 talks about  shadows and night and midday and outcasts and betrayal.  And that's the King James version.  If you are reading some other  version you may be reading something completely different.  Yes, we all love our particular translation of the Bible.  But  folks, you have to look beyond your translation.  You have to look at the original Greek and Hebrew to get a more accurate  rendering of a passage.  So what in the world is Isaiah 16:3 saying?

This verse is a response to the attack Moab just suffered (that came in the night).  The passage is saying something like:

16:3
Take counsel and act!  Defend yourself (against your enemy) by going up to them in the cover of darkness which will begin  at noonday.  And when the outcasts come to you (which your counter-attack will cause), hide them, don't harm them.

Outcasts?  What outcasts?  And who are they going to attack at noonday and why is the sun darkened over that nation at  noonday?  Look at the next verse (again my translation):

16:4
Let MY outcasts dwell with you, Moab.  Be a hiding place for them from the face of the powerful nation.  For that  oppressor has just been wiped off the map.  The violent nation has come to its end.  The oppressors have been destroyed  from that land.

Folks, if you've been following along closely with this blog then you should already know what I'm talking about here.   The Bible tells us how that 'day' will begin and how it will play out.  But there is no substitute for your own study.  Don't you want to know what's coming? 

Who are the outcasts?  16:4 gives us the answer.  God is saying "these are MY outcasts, these are MY people".  See  Jeremiah 50:4.  Jeremiah 50:4 is how I got started on this journey.  I simply asked the question: "who are these people  who escape America when she is destroyed?"  As I've been saying all along, when America is destroyed, Israel and Judah  (all those who truly belong to God, the true Church and the true Jews) will be supernaturally rescued.  "But wait, I  thought everyone has to believe in Yeshua?"  We are told they will...just be patient.

Folks, Jordan will know that an attack is already planned for America.  And they will know the day.  They know that it  will be on the day when the sun is going to go dark at noon over America.  They will know what day that is because the  great men of the earth, the ones with access to rockets and satellites and telescopes in space and all this wonderful  technology, can see certain large objects approaching our planet from a great ways off.  Of course the general public is  not privy to this information.  It's a closely guarded secret. If the public knew about this there would be mass panic and  hysteria.  Nevertheless, the Bible tells us all about that 'day'.  But very few put in the time necessary to actually  discern it. If you understand what I'm talking about then you are in rare company.

This attack on Jordan (and the middle-east in general) comes just prior to the all-out attack on America which is described  in a multitude of passages in the Bible. I get the impression from this passage that Jordan was not planning on joining  that attack on America.  But here in Isaiah 16 it seems they changed their mind.  Look at verse 3. "Take counsel and  execute judgment".  Sure seems like they had planned to sit this one out.  But then after they were attacked on that  fateful night they change their mind.  "Take counsel and act, go join that army coming against America when the sun goes  down over her at noon."  (Compare with Jeremiah 6:4-5, which also speaks of that same all-out attack on America.)  I  believe that is why Jeremiah 49:12 says "...those whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunk."   (Ammon, Esau, Moab...these are all modern-day Jordan).  Jordan had planned to stay out of it but changed her mind after  being attacked.

Why is Moab going to be a shelter for God's people when America is destroyed?  Because that is the location that God has  chosen for both ancient Israel and modern-day Israel to cross the Jordan (just north of the Dead Sea) when entering into  the promised land.  Look at Jeremiah 49:1, "Why then does Milcom inherit Gad, and his people dwell in its cities?"  Where was the tribe of Gad situated?  In what is now Jordan, just north-east of the Dead Sea.  When God's people are rescued from America, this is where we will stay initially...the same place God brought ancient Israel when he led them out of Egypt. This is the wilderness experience that God talks about in reference to the beginning of that 'day'.  When God's people are rescued from America, then God will contend with his people in the wilderness just as he contended with ancient Israel when he led them out of Egypt. (Ezekiel 20:36-38)  Americans: If you make it to Jordan (Gad), it means you belong to God. You just "went from one fire", the destruction of America (Ezekiel 15:7).  If you trust in God during the wilderness experience and return to him with your whole heart then the next fire (Battle of Gog/Magog) will not consume you. (also Ezekiel 15:7).  Those who survive the second fire will cross the Jordan (just as ancient Israel did) and will inherit the land God promised them.  The world will be astonished.  They will be called "The Holy People". (Isaiah 62:12) These are God's witnesses in the earth during the tribulation.(Isaiah 43:10-12)  These will be called Repairers of Foundations and Restorers of Streets to Dwell In. (Isaiah 58:12)

Moab's Night of Terror

Isaiah 15:1
The burden against Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste [And] destroyed, Because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste [And] destroyed,


There's a reason it says "night" as opposed to any other time of day.  What about this?:


Isaiah 13:10
For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not give their light; The sun will be darkened in its going forth, And the moon will not cause its light to shine.


"The sun will be darkened in its going forth"


So we have one judgment speaking of the night time, and another judgment speaking of the day time.  The context of Isaiah 13 is the complete and utter destruction of an end-time nation the Bible refers to as Babylon.  I've already written extensively on this and have come to the conclusion, based on the descriptors we've been given, that this end-time Babylon is none other than America, sea to shining sea.  If you want to continue to believe the nonsensical lies that Babylon is some sort of system, or Rome, or whatever, who's going to stop you?  Believe what you want.  But let me tell you, folks, we all will be held accountable for what we did here on earth....or didn't do. ("My people die for lack of knowledge.")  We live in an unprecedented time in history.  We now can carry our Bibles wherever we go, even electronically.  We have access to Greek and Hebrew dictionaries and concordances.  We, in America, have an abundance of free time on our hands.  Yet Jeremiah 6:10 was written about our day....sadly.

There's a reason Moab's judgment occurs during the nighttime.  And there's a reason America's judgment begins during the day.  Simply, because they are on opposite sides of the world when these judgments occur. And they will occur within an hour or so of each other.  Do you remember what I said in an earlier post?:

You see, the Bible describes the beginning of tribulation (The Day of the Lord) in a very specific way. Certain things will happen to our planet at the start of that period of time.  Those descriptions lend support to the theory of a very large object passing by our planet at the start of that 'day'.  I suspect these men in positions of great power already know when this object will pass our planet...even to the day.  And I suspect their computer models have also told them what part of our planet will be facing the direction of this object as it passes.

When that 'day', the Day of the Lord, begins, it will be a day like no other.  The kings of the earth and the great men of battle will have their plans all laid out.  They will know when this cosmic disturbance will arrive.  They will also know that America will be most vulnerable during that time.  They will see that disturbance as an opportunity to bring order out of chaos.  An opportunity to seize the kind of control they've been after for so long.  An opportunity to realign world power zones.  If you read some of the passages speaking of the beginning of that day, you'll soon realize that the middle east will be devastated by nuclear war.  I encourage you to study Jeremiah 48 and 49, for starters.  What I find interesting is that the middle east is hardest hit but America completely ignores the true threat: the army coming from the north.

We're told who the president of America will strike:

Jeremiah 49
28  Against Kedar and against the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall strike. Thus says the LORD: "Arise, go up to Kedar, And devastate the men of the East!
29  Their tents and their flocks they shall take away. They shall take for themselves their curtains, All their vessels and their camels; And they shall cry out to them, 'Fear [is] on every side!'
30  "Flee, get far away! Dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Hazor!" says the LORD. "For Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, And has conceived a plan against you.


But we find in Ezekiel 38 and 39 that Russia has been making her own plans.


Folks, this is just the tip of the iceberg.  A small window into what will transpire at the beginning of that 'day'.  Lord willing I will elaborate on this at a later time.  If you want to know more, dig in and study your Bible.  At the end of that first day the earth will be devastated.  And that will just be the beginning of woes.


Make no mistake, the days are numbered.  Please repent and turn to God now while there is time.  Yeshua was sent for the lost sheep.  If you don't know him I encourage you to turn to him now.

The Forgotten

Not long ago I wrote a post Leaving the Church to become the Church.  I vowed to step away from the buffet and step into a life of service.  To stop warming a pew and start doing those things that God, in the Bible, says he wants us all to be doing.  Those things like serving the downtrodden and neglected. Strengthening the hands of the widows and orphans.  Defending the fatherless and pleading for the widow. Learning to do good. (Isaiah 1:17)  After all, what good is religion if we neglect these weightier matters? (James 1:27)

Besides helping in the kitchen at our local mission on a regular basis, I want to tell you about something else I've been working on.  The same week I decided to stop warming a pew I heard about a local orphan/foster conference coming up that weekend.  Through that conference I came in contact with a godly couple starting up a new ministry to serve the foster care community.  Being a software developer I offered to volunteer my services.  Well, here's phase 1 of the new website: The Forgotten Initiative
