The end and the beginning

The Genesis study

2009-10-11T17:35:00.003-04:00

If you've ever wondered how Yahshua was teaching the Torah/Tanakh, this might help you in that study. This will reveal how there was NO BRIDE FOUND FOR HIM, hence why He didn't marry like a 'good Jew' would, why the scriptures say ALL fall short of the glory of YHWH, the resurrection to come, and the marriage! There is a lot of things to be seen from the beginning in Genesis 1 and 2. I hope you will be able to 'see' it.

Obama is fitting into the picture....

2009-05-15T19:26:00.003-04:00

As I've indicated in the blog, I wrote that Obama would be elected to the U.S. presidency. This has come to pass....halleluyah, His Word (that is, YHWH'S Word)is truth! Now, I can explain further....
Revelation 12 starts with a sign in the heavens. This took place in October 2005. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, started the 1260 days that the woman was hid in the wilderness. That period ended March 26th, 2009, which was the first day of the biblical New Year! You may confirm this with any lunar calendar.
Back in July, Abba told me that Obama would be placed into the presidency, as this was His plan for these final days of the age. Those few that know me know that I spoke about this numerous times, although I finally mentioned it in October of 2008.(I do not say this for any glory to me...it all belongs to Abba YHWH). Now there is further evidence that this is true....
In Revelation 12, following the 1260 days, there comes war with Michael and his angels against the dragon. If you notice, the dragon is thrown down to earth to make war with the remnant of the seed. This war will take place IN THE U.S., as well as other places, to those who are called but will NOT COME OUT OF BABYLON.
Seven days into the Obama presidency, he signed an executive order HELPING THE PALESTINIANS to ENTER THE U.S., paid for BY THE U.S. You may find the executive order here....

This is the open door needed for those who will be KICKED OUT of the land, to make war with the REMNANT of the seed, in their own land. Think about it for just a moment....the righteous branch(given in Nehemiah and Ezra)came back into the land, while Babylon was OVERTHROWN and DESTROYED.

Hope you are ready to leave soon....

Just a theory of mine....

2008-10-14T23:11:00.002-04:00

I have an email subscription to "Universe Today', a daily astroNomy newsletter. (I spelled it that way to bring distinction with astroLogy, which is a no-no). If you enjoy the 'workings' of the Universe, you would probably enjoy it.
I saw a story today concerning the satellite views we are receiving from Saturn. The story is here...
http://www.universetoday.com/2008/10/13/violent-polar-cyclones-on-saturn-imaged-in-unprecidented-detail-by-cassini/
....and I would suggest reading it before continuing reading this post. Just notice the part about the Saturn hexagon at the north pole of the planet.(BTW you can also subscribe to the daily email on that page.)

Ok, done? Good.
I also noticed that a couple of readers comments sent the following links:
http://www.bioedonline.org/news/news.cfm?art=2531
http://www.physorg.com/news66924222.html

If you've looked at those pages, and you're still with me, then I will explain my theory and how all this 'stuff' may pertain to scripture:

If you recall(and if you don't, look it up...LOL)Ezekiel 40 and Revelation 21 both give dimensions for the third temple, or, if you prefer, the new heavens and earth. When you compare the two, one is the physical earth temple(Ezekiel 40) and the other is a spiritual temple. Both are SQUARE in shape, but the heavenly Rev. 21 temple is CUBED. I have thought of this for many years wondering the significance of it. One aspect of it that I have found is the METATRON CUBE, the 2 dimensional figure of it is the picture for my profile. But I still had no answer as to how or why the spiritual temple is CHANGED to a cube, or how that would come about.

The answer very well may be found in the links that I just gave you. Notice that the shape made in the middle of the water was not round(as we might expect), but took on various shapes including SQUARE. Notice also that in order to accomplish this, the rotation to make the shape had to be sped up. The thought then occurred to me what Yahshua said...'If the DAYS WERE NOT SHORTENED, NO FLESH WOULD BE SAVED.' What would it take for the heavens to take on a SQUARE SHAPE? The answer: the earth would have to rotate FASTER. It is this rotation which is one dynamic with Saturn to create the hexagon shape at the pole. So, if the earth rotates faster, THE DAY IS SHORTENED.
There is another aspect to throw into this: the FERVENT HEAT. Isaiah, Yahshua and Peter all spoke about a fire judgement(just as there was a water judgement in Noah's day)that was forthcoming. This change in the dynamics of our puny little planet in the greater scheme of things could be what ends up saving a part of mankind.
Just a theory....or maybe I just have too much time on my hands?

What are you worth?

2008-10-11T13:31:00.002-04:00

In my contemplation and prayer this sabbath, I felt compelled to write the following:

MONEY...what is the value or worth? Isn't it between 2 people or parties, one buying and one selling? Then the value of it becomes a negotiation until an agreement of its VALUE is reached.

YAH....What then is our value to the Creator? Isn't the agreement between Him and us, in that if we agree to His commandments, He gives us greater WORTH? Without our agreement to Him, then don't we become WORTHLESS? Doesn't He strive with us to agree to His ways so that He can give us VALUE? Purpose?

The comparison of the two....

Money, normally, has been based upon something that has a common VALUE. We all agree that gold, silver, diamonds have an intrinsic WORTH or VALUE, but even that value fluctuates. Today's MONEY, however, is not based on any of those commodities, it's based on one's trust in GOVERNMENTS. It is what some call 'FIAT' currency, not backed by a commodity but on a set of principals. Those principals are failing now, because the foundation of those principals was not based on God's Word, which brings value to EVERYTHING. Today's money has been based on GREED, something that is valueless, knowing no end, and worth NOTHING to anyone except for the person experiencing it.

I talked to a dear sister a couple of weeks ago, and told her this: The solution to this is the JUBILEE. The slate must be wiped clean, the threshing floor swept, and the value to everything reset to ZERO. There is a story about Yahshua visiting Zacheus, and when he swore to give half of everything he had to the poor, Yahshua proclaimed that the kingdom of heaven had come to his house that night. SO....imagine if the RICH then gave half of their money to the poor. The rich then become humble, the poor get raised up, and BOTH enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
A hard concept for most people, which is why Yahshua said it was almost impossible for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom. Will you enter in?

So, how's your 401k?

2008-10-10T18:02:00.003-04:00

Well, by now most everyone is asking....what's going on? Well, as I warned you before, the monetary system must crash, and you are now witnessing God's Word come to pass. For those of you who were blindsighted by this, it just shows you what you have been worshipping. Yahshua said it was almost impossible for a rich man to enter into heaven. Now, you are feeling the heat.
There are a number of things that are getting set up, all at the same time....the monetary crash, Obama will get elected as president, and we will see war in Israel. But, I put these in order of appearance and importance. As you can tell by now just by looking around, most countries in this world have their foundation in American currency. So, when America tanks, other countries tank. There was a story in yesterday's Jerusalem post(sorry, I don't have the link), that says that 80% of Iran's economy is based on oil profits. Well, what happens when your biggest customer stops buying? So, even the Muslim nations are connected one way or another to the U.S.

Something else for you to know....if you've been following my blog here, you should have a basic understanding of God's seal. On September 16th, there was a formation in the sky in the evening, of Mercury, Venus and the star SPICA. Spica means 'ear of wheat'. This was again a TRIANGLE but it was pointed DOWN. Significance? The day before was the day Lehman Bros. announced their bankruptcy, and the monetary system started their downward slide. Nothing is coincidental.

I told friends and anyone who would listen that Obama would get elected. I still stand by that. If you understand the timing of Revelation 12, Michael and the angels make war with the dragon, and the dragon loses. The purpose to this is to clear the threshing floor...the Dome of the Rock will come toppling down, among other things. Rev. 12 then says the dragon goes to make war with the remnant of the seed. This remnant are those who would not come out of Babylon. This is where Obama fits into the picture, although the process has already started. As of October 1, the U.S. government will be allowing 12,000 Iraqis to immigrate to the U.S. When Obama comes in, undoubtedly this will increase even more. Obama is friends with Muslims and Arabs.

But, out of great sorrow comes great joy. The marriage supper comes following this process. This is the righteous branch coming into the land for the 7th day sabbath.

If you are in Babylon, I hope you have prepared yourself to leave. I am leaving now. If you have the calling for the saints, I'll meet you in the war zone. Otherwise, Abba willing, I'll see you at the marriage.

What is your life?

2008-08-23T14:53:00.001-04:00

The words of Yahshua, from the writing of James('The Apocryphon of James')....

'Do you dare to spare the flesh, you for whom the spirit is an encircling wall? If you contemplate the world, how long it is before you and also how long it is after you, you will find that your life is one single day and your sufferings, one single hour. For the good will not enter the world. Scorn death, therefore, and take concern for life. Remember my cross and my death and you will live.'

Mark of the beast

2008-08-20T14:43:00.003-04:00

Personally, going purely by scripture, the mark of the beast is the worship of money(see Deut. 6, and 1Kings 10:14), but I thought I would pass this along to anyone who thinks otherwise. The link shows what computer technology is capable of these days...

Lamentations on Tisha B'Av

2008-08-10T12:04:00.001-04:00

Lam 1:17 Zion stretches out her hands, but there is none to comfort her; the LORD has commanded against Jacob that his neighbors should be his foes; Jerusalem has become a filthy thing among them.
Lam 1:18 "The LORD is in the right, for I have rebelled against his word; but hear, all you peoples, and behold my suffering; my maidens and my young men have gone into captivity.
Lam 1:19 "I called to my lovers but they deceived me; my priests and elders perished in the city, while they sought food to revive their strength.
Lam 1:20 "Behold, O LORD, for I am in distress, my soul is in tumult, my heart is wrung within me, because I have been very rebellious. In the street the sword bereaves; in the house it is like death.
Lam 1:21 "Hear how I groan; there is none to comfort me. All my enemies have heard of my trouble; they are glad that thou hast done it. Bring thou the day thou hast announced, and let them be as I am.
Lam 1:22 "Let all their evil-doing come before thee; and deal with them as thou hast dealt with me because of all my transgressions; for my groans are many and my heart is faint."

Woe to the state of Israel

2008-07-13T13:10:00.002-04:00

From 'Israel Today'(and yes, that is my comment at the bottom of the article)...
http://www.israeltoday.co.il/default.aspx?tabid=178&nid=16594

Bush gives Israel tentative 'OK' to strike Iran
US President George W. Bush has given Israel the go-ahead to draw up a full plan of attack to take out Iran's main nuclear facilities and to present it to him for final approval, according to a senior Pentagon official who spokes to London's Sunday Times.
The official said the president had given Israel an "amber light," explaining that "amber means get on with your preparations, stand by for immediate attack and tell us when you're ready."
Israeli officials who had previously admitted to preparing for a possible strike on Iran's nuclear facilities said that such an attack would be impossible without a green light from Washington, as Israeli planes would need to travel through US-controlled Iraqi airspace. Israel would also need America's assistance in dealing with the diplomatic aftermath.
The Pentagon source said that the Bush Administration had already determined not to attack Iran, but noted that "the president is really preoccupied with the nuclear threat against Israel and I know he doesn't believe that anything but force will deter Iran."
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak is scheduled to travel to the US on Monday where he will meet with various Pentagon officials to discuss how best to handle the Iran threat.
An aide to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Saturday that if an attack is launched on his country's nuclear facilities, Iran will "destroy" Israel and 32 American military bases across the Middle East.
"If Israel and the US fire a bullet or a missile at Iran, its forces will attack the heart of Israel and 32 American bases in the region before the dust from such an attack has settled," Mojtaba Zolnour, Khameini's deputy representative in the Revolutionary Guards, told Iran's Fars news agency.
Iran last week held what it called a major test of its improved medium-range missile arsenal, indicating that it possessed the means to launch a substantial counter-strike against Israel.
However, Israeli and Western analysts who examined the missile test photographs so proudly distributed by Iran noted that they had been doctored. The Israelis further noted that the missiles in the photos appeared to be Iran's older Shihab-3 missiles, which are not capable of hitting Israel. The affair called into question Iran's ability to actually retaliate against Israel in the event of an aerial assault on its nuclear facilities.

I would encourage you to look to the book of Amos. Yes, it calls for the destruction of Damascus, as well as Gaza, Ashkelon, and, most likely, Tel Aviv. BUT continue reading and you will see THE DESTRUCTION OF JERUSALEM....

Amo 2:4 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the which their fathers have walked:
Amo 2:5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Amo 2:6 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of shoes;
Amo 2:7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:
Amo 2:8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their god.

This destruction is repeated in Amos 8 and 9. Notice it calls for an END OF MY PEOPLE.
It was these verses that Abba gave me while I was in the land a few weeks ago. I was told in the spirit to STEP OUT OF THE WAY, as HIS JUDGEMENT IS ABOUT TO COME. He must clean His house FIRST, to make way for the RIGHTEOUS BRANCH.
A WORD TO THE SAINTS: If you are honoring the sabbath, if you have the LOVE OF YAH in your hearts and the LOVE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF, and you feel Abba has been preparing you to move, the time is COMING CLOSE. It is my belief the righteous branch will become established in 2009!

The truth about malsi

2008-03-28T17:24:00.003-04:00

As you can tell by the title, this deals with a 'certain religion' known for its violence. I spell it backwards because it goes AGAINST the truth of the Torah and Yahshua. A movie called 'Fitna' has hit the internet, and almost disappeared, because it speaks of the truth of the terrorism of this religion. The hypocrisy of it is...most are AFRAID to show this movie? WHY? because they fear their lives. Ironic isn't it?

(I have edited this post because the link to YouTube no longer works)

God will no longer strive with men?

2007-10-21T19:58:00.000-04:00

Earlier this month(October), I was reading Genesis and came to this passage:

Gen 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Gen 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Gen 6:5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
Gen 6:6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
From this point, of course, came the condemnation of the world, and the instructions for Noah.
Keep those verses in mind, because Yahshua also referenced 'days' like the above....
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Mat 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Mat 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Here is what came to my mind as I read Genesis 6, which emphasized verse 3...again, here...

Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
I guess I've always had a 'bigger scheme of things' vision(only by His mercy and grace, I will add), and He showed me the year 2012 many years ago, so the thought occurred to me:
"I wonder IF ANYTHING AT ALL occurred around 1892? (2012-120 years for 'a man'=1892). I found an amazing thing......
January 1, 1892 was the day Ellis Island opened its doors to IMMIGRANTS TO THIS COUNTRY. 'Many peoples, nations and tongues' started to flow into the U.S.A. You can confirm this at Wikipedia, as well as the Ellis Island website, and even history.com. I checked all three myself.
Does this show you what 'the beast' may be? I would say it is strong evidence for it.

A word to the State of Israel

2007-07-05T05:12:00.000-04:00

Sh'ma Israel,
Thus saith YHWH Lord of Hosts,
You have been making decisions for me, and they have not been good ones. There are my people who want to come and serve me, yet you will not let them in, therefore I am cursing this land and this people. Bring these people in and I will pour out a blessing from heaven. They love me, they love my Torah, and they love my Word. Let them come, establish them in my fields, for they do not work for money, they work for Me. I am about to bring judgement to this world, and establish my Law in the hearts of whom I will spare, and I am about to cut off the seed of some of you.Seek what I spoke to Jeremiah about. I will bring in a righteous branch to this land, a seed of David, a people worthy of Me, from all the nations which I have scattered them. Humble yourselves, do not be stiff-necked, and I will spare you of my judgements against the unrighteous, the adulterers, those that swear falsely, those who are selling their brothers for interest, who oppress the widow, the orphan and the traveller. Fear Me, return to Me with all your heart, and I will return to you.
Thus saith YHWH Lord of Hosts,Through His servant Michael.

An interesting observation

2007-06-22T10:36:00.000-04:00

In my 'Universe today' email I received a story about a 'nearby' star(7500 light years away)which is about to supernova(explode, in simple terms). Those in the science of astronomy say that it will be highly visible when it does. I just felt I should post this, as this is an unusual event which could occur in our lifetime. An additional comment follows the article.

Thanks to http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2007/etacar/etacar.jpg for the image here.

http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2007/etacar/ is the link for the story.

Eta Carinae is a mysterious, extremely bright and unstable star located a mere stone's throw - astronomically speaking - from Earth at a distance of only about 7,500 light years. The star is thought to be consuming its nuclear fuel at an incredible rate, while quickly drawing closer to its ultimate explosive demise. When Eta Carinae does explode, it will be a spectacular fireworks display seen from Earth, perhaps rivaling the moon in brilliance. Its fate has been foreshadowed by the recent discovery of SN2006gy, a supernova in a nearby galaxy that was the brightest stellar explosion ever seen. The erratic behavior of the star that later exploded as SN2006gy suggests that Eta Carinae may explode at any time.
Eta Carinae, a star between 100 and 150 times more massive than the Sun, is near a point of unstable equilibrium where the star's gravity is almost balanced by the outward pressure of the intense radiation generated in the nuclear furnace. This means that slight perturbations of the star might cause enormous ejections of matter from its surface. In the 1840s, Eta Carinae had a massive eruption by ejecting more than 10 times the mass of the sun, to briefly become the second brightest star in the sky. This explosion would have torn most other stars to pieces but somehow Eta Carinae survived.
Hubble Optical Images of Eta Carinae The latest composite image shows the remnants of that titanic event with new data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope. The blue regions show the cool optical emission, detected by Hubble, from the dust and gas thrown off the star. This debris forms a bipolar shell around the star, which lies near the brightest point of the optical emission. This bipolar shell is itself surrounded by a ragged cloud of fainter material. An unusual jet points from the star to the upper left.Chandra's data, depicted in orange and yellow, shows the X-ray emission produced as material thrown off Eta Carinae rams into nearby gas and dust, heating gas to temperatures in excess of a million degrees.
Animation of Massive Star Explosion This hot shroud extends far beyond the cooler, optical nebula and represents the outer edge of the interaction region. The X-ray observations show that the ejected outer material is enriched by complex atoms, especially nitrogen, cooked inside the star's nuclear furnace and dredged up onto the stellar surface. The Chandra observations also show that the inner optical nebula glows faintly due to X-ray reflection. The X-rays reflected by the optical nebula come from very close to the star itself; these X-rays are generated by the high-speed collision of wind flowing from Eta Carinae's surface (moving at about 1 million miles per hour) with the wind of the companion star (which is about five times faster).The companion is not directly visible in these images, but variability in X-rays in the regions close to the star signals the star's presence. Astronomers don't know exactly what role the companion has played in the evolution of Eta Carinae, or what role it will play in its future.

The editor of the email posts from 'Universe Today' wrote this...

When it does explode, Eta Carinae is going to be spectacular. It's thought to have between 100 and 150 times the mass of our own Sun. Not only that, it's a mere 7,500 light years away. Its brilliant display of fireworks will rival the light of the full Moon, and should be easy to see in the middle of the day; you could read a book by it at night.

The timing could prove to be interesting....or nothing at all.

Who do you say I am?

2007-06-19T14:36:00.000-04:00

By request, I'll do a study here on WHO Yahshua is, in relation to the entire Kingdom of Heaven. I will point out scriptures which, hopefully, will give you some semblance of the heirarchy to His World, and yes, there is an order to the Heavenly Kingdom.

Where to start? How about with our question...'Who do you say I am?'
Mat 16:13 Now when Yahshua came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Who do men say that the Son of man is?
Mat 16:14 And they said, Some say John the Baptist; some, Elijah: and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
Mat 16:15 He saith unto them, But who say ye that I am?
Mat 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
Mat 16:17 And Yahshua answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar–Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

This shows that His disciples KNEW He was the SON of God. That was also the charge given against Him when He was taken to the Pharisees....

Mat 26:63 But Yahshua held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Messiah, the Son of God.
Mat 26:64 Yahshua saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.
Mat 26:65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
Mat 26:66 what think ye? They answered and said, He is worthy of death.

An interesting point to bring out...notice in verse 63 they ask 'Are you the Messiah, the Son of God?' They KNEW that the MESSIAH would be called THE SON OF GOD!Notice in ALL the testimony all references to Yahshua were as 'THE SON' and not GOD HIMSELF! Indeed, the voice from heaven said 'This is MY SON...'

Now, I want to counter point this with something. What was LUCIFER'S DOWNFALL? Let's look...

Isa 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day star(Halel--KJV: Lucifer), son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst lay low the nations!
Isa 14:13 And thou saidst in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; and I will sit upon the mount of congregation, in the uttermost parts of the north:
Isa 14:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

This is why the NAME is very important. When you call the Messiah J-sus(Greek: Ie-sous), and when you say He is GOD the FATHER, you are actually putting Him where LUCIFER WANTS TO BE! Reference books(including Strongs)try to tie ie-sous with Yahshua, saying they are one and the same. THEY ARE NOT! Otherwise these scriptures CANNOT BE TRUE:

Joh 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
That bears witness to this...
Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Exo 23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. Exo 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Finally, to keep this short, count how many times Yahshua references HIS FATHER. It can be no other way.There is FAR FAR MORE to this, including why 'The Father is greater than I' and 'THe Father and I are one' is NOT a contradiction. But this could lead to pages and pages....

Armageddon/Who is Gog?

2007-06-14T04:09:00.000-04:00

Here is a study I did, which started as a look at Armageddon(Har-Megiddo). As most people who have studied scriptures and/or Israeli history, many battles have been fought at Megiddo. The LAST one will involve Yah Himself. By the way, I reference a couple of maps I've found, both using the E-sword bible program. You can find the program, along with the maps, at www.e-sword.net . A majority of downloads there are free, and it's a great program.
On to the study....

I did some research on Har-Megiddo/Armageddon as mentioned in Revelation 16. There is some POWERFUL stuff to understand when you start looking at WHO is involved with this. In a nutshell, there are TWO 'battles' or judgements: one for Babylon, the other for the GENTILES. If you have the American Bible society maps from E-sword, then look at the map of the Assyrian and Babylonian Kingdoms, 9th to 6th century BC. You'll find 'TUBAL' and 'MESHECH" are located in what is now GREECE. If you download the CLASSIC BIBLE MAPS(also free), and look at the MAP OF THE WORLD, you'll see the same thing, as these are children of JAPHETH(given in Gen. 10). These are important things to remember when you go through the scriptures.
Assuming you've gotten this far with this, I'll show you the NT reference, then highlight some important passages in the OT as far as the TIMING of these things....

Rev 16:12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

First of all, you have to come to understand the LINK between Gog/Magog and the battle given above. That is given in Revelation 20....

Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Rev 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever .

Why are these passages linked together? Compare the following....

Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Rev 20:8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Notice the result of this is the same.....
Rev 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
Eze 38:19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
Eze 38:20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
Eze 38:21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
Eze 38:22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

So it is important to understand WHO this battle involves and WHEN it takes place. Now that Gog/Magog is established as to the WHO, we can then further see WHO this is....

Gen 10:1 Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
Gen 10:2 The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
Gen 10:3 And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
Gen 10:4 And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
Gen 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

I saw something else in that Gen 10:5 verse, notice the phrase 'isles of the Gentiles'. There is a reference to that in Ezekiel too....

Eze 39:6 And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.

If you look at Revelation 20, there are two 'battles': the first one is when satan is thrown into the pit for 1000 years, the SECOND one is Gog/Magog/Armageddon. This is also confirmed by the Ezekiel passages....(Notice that this says it comes to mind as PAST TENSE, that is, that it has ALREADY HAPPENED at this point)....

Eze 38:10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
Eze 38:11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
Eze 38:12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
Eze 38:13 Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
Eze 38:14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?

SO, by this reckoning, guess what? THE RAPTURE(really, the ingathering to the land)has ALREADY OCCURRED.(That may twist your thinking a bit about the rapture theory, I'm sure). Armageddon occurs AFTER the 1000 year rest, when there are people living securely in the land.
This also CONFIRMS what Paul was teaching. Check this out...

1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Messiah Yahshua Hamashiach.

This confirms Rev. 16 and Ezekiel 38....

Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Eze 38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
Eze 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Eze 38:9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

One other thing to consider....recall I said there were TWO battles, Babylon and Armageddon. Check out Daniel...

Dan 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.
Dan 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

Persia was to the east, which included Babylon(Shinar), and those countries that are now MUSLIM. Note later in that same chapter of Daniel....

Dan 10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.

Now that we've come this far, we can identify BOTH PRINCES...Persia is of Mohammed(Muslim), Greece is of GOG(Gentiles). Pretty interesting stuff, and I'm sure there is more here than I'm seeing. More later, as it is revealed...

New blog

2007-06-04T07:09:00.000-04:00

Since stories concerning 'global warming' are increasing, I decided to create a blog reserved for those posts, rather than to 'clutter' this blog with that information. You will find it at http://ferventheat.blogspot.com . Please tell your friends about it.

You'll get about a 1 hour warning....

2007-05-27T13:02:00.000-04:00

I subscribe to 'Universe Today's' email list. They have some interesting astronomy stories from time to time, and usually give a 'head's up' about astronomical events about to take place. (Please note: astroNOMY and astroLOGY are two completely different things. Torah speaks AGAINST ASTROLOGY, it literally COMMANDS ASTRONOMY. Even Yahshua spoke about the 'sign of the son of man in the heavens', which is discussed below.) Anyway, Revelation 6(as well as a few OT prophets) speak about running into the caves and hoping the rocks fall in on them. Especially with the 6th seal reference, this seems to indicate that there is, at least, a short amount of TIME given, so that these people will have time to RUN INTO THE CAVES to start with. Below is a cut and paste from the story I received for 5/26/07....

One of the great risks of space travel is the threat from solar radiation storms. An unlucky group of astronauts traveling to the Moon could get caught unprotected as a hail of charged particles and radiation blast through the spacecraft. But now NASA researchers think the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) will be able to give astronauts some warning before the big storm hits.
SOHO is normally used for scientific observations of the Sun. But it’s equipped with an instrument called the Comprehensive Suprathermal and Energetic Particle Analyzer (COSTEP), which counts particles coming from the Sun, and measures their energies.
One of the main predictors are electrons, which aren’t dangerous in themselves, but are the first wave of a coming storm. The electrons are lighter than the other particles, so they’re carried out ahead of the heavier, and more dangerous particles. By analyzing hundreds of solar storms, the researchers were able to match electrons with a predicted density of ions.
When SOHO is experiencing one of these electron storms, astronauts traveling to the Moon will be experiencing it as well. And the more dangerous ions and heavier particles are about to arrive. This advance notice will allow the astronauts to retreat to a safer location in the spacecraft and ride out the storm, suffering the minimum radiation damage.
This technique was able to predict all 4 major storms in 2003, providing advance warnings from 7 to 74 minutes.

The email says the original source for this was a NASA press release, so if you wish to verify it, I'm sure you can find it on the NASA site.
Point is, if you are not where the WHEAT is supposed to be stored, then you will be with the TARES, which are to be bundled and burned. Hope you are where you are supposed to be.
(Sidenote: I also received information that the solar scientists released, in that they say the next solar peak of the sun will be between August 2011 and March 2012. That's just about right.)

The MEAT of the Second Passover

2007-04-11T20:38:00.000-04:00

There are some powerful scriptures which speak about the time we are in, but in order to understand it, you must have a grasp on certain things:
1. Messiah fulfills Torah. Those of you that have studied the Feasts(given in Leviticus 23)should understand how Yahshua fulfilled the Spring feasts(1st passover, unleavened bread, Firstfruits), how He will fulfill the Sabbath, etc. This fulfilling is part of the greater picture of heaven and earth coming together as ONE...ECHAD.
2. The parables that Yahshua taught are given in the Old testament. As He is the living Torah, He gave us examples of things He wanted to show us. One of the best examples is that of the marriage supper in Matthew 22. I would suggest you read that parable, then look upon 2Chronicles 29-31, with the thought in mind that another TWO WEEK festival that occurred in scripture was the marriage of Jacob to Leah and Rachel. The parable then combines both thoughts...the marriage party to the SECOND PASSOVER.
3. The command for the second passover is in Numbers 9. Notice it is for those who are UNCLEAN by contact with a dead body OR for those who have been on a FAR OFF JOURNEY, who could not observe the passover in the land at the appointed TIME.

With that general understanding, consider another observation: in the Book of Revelation, nothing is referenced to Egypt, at least that I can see(although some may say the 'plagues' have the 'style' to what was done in Egypt). However, there are NUMEROUS references to BABYLON, including the cry to COME OUT OF BABYLON, MY PEOPLE! The reason is that the final gathering before the 7th day sabbath is for the tribes that were SCATTERED into all different parts of the world.
Here are some passages to consider, and this first one is very important because it indicates a CHANGE in the understanding of the passover. Remember, Jeremiah wrote this for the EXILES who were thrown into the first Babylon:

Jer 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith YHWH.
Jer 23:2 Therefore thus saith YHWH Elohim of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith YHWH.
Jer 23:3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase.
Jer 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith YHWH.
Jer 23:5 Behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
Jer 23:6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, YHWH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS(tzedek).
Jer 23:7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that they shall no more say, YHWH liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jer 23:8 But, YHWH liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

As we've just come out of the 1st passover, the bold type should be echoing in your ears. Is Israel STILL saying about being brought out of Egypt? Is the MARRIAGE SUPPER now taking on NEW LIGHT? Jeremiah writes later on more about the coming out of Babylon....I would encourage you to read Jeremiah 31 in its entirety. Here is a portion of it....

Jer 31:6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto YHWH Elohim.
Jer 31:7 For thus saith YHWH; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O YHWH, save thy people, the remnant of Israel.
Jer 31:8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
Jer 31:9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
Jer 31:10 Hear the word of YHWH, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
Jer 31:11 For YHWH hath redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.
Jer 31:12 Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of YHWH, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
Jer 31:13 Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
Jer 31:14 And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith YHWH.....

Now, remember that its not about EGYPT ANYMORE?

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith YHWH:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith YHWH, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know YHWH: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith YHWH: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Do we still have TEACHERS on every corner? So, is the NEW COVENANT been FULFILLED YET?
There is yet MORE to this.....here is scripture that I feel applies to TODAY, in the fact that the 'state of Israel' is NOT allowing true Torah/Yahshua believers into the land. This is a warning to THEM....

Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and ADON (the Lord), whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith YHWH Tzevaot.
Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
Mal 3:3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto YHWH an offering in righteousness. Mal 3:4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto YHWH, as in the days of old, and as in former years.
Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith YHWH tzevaot.
Mal 3:6 For I am YHWH, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
Mal 3:7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith YHWH tzevaot. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?
Mal 3:8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
Mal 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith YHWH tzevaot, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Mal 3:11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith YHWH tzevaot.
Mal 3:12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith YHWH tzevaot.
Mal 3:13 Your words have been stout against me, saith YHWH. Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
Mal 3:14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before YHWH tzevaot?
Mal 3:15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
Mal 3:16 Then they that feared YHWH spake often one to another: and YHWH hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared YHWH, and that thought upon his name.
Mal 3:17 And they shall be mine, saith YHWH tzevaot, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Mal 3:18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

You are probably familiar with the part about the tithes given here, as most 'churches' use this passage to gain mammon in their collection plates. But hopefully, with some of what I've given you here, you can see that the tithe for YHWH is not of MONEY, but of BELIEVERS, those who FEAR HIM, and who think upon His NAME. This is the stick of EPHRAIM, which needs to come into the land. Then MESSIAH WILL APPEAR, because His BRIDE WILL BE READY.
Are you ready?
COME OUT OF BABYLON, MY PEOPLE....and be gathered INTO HIS LAND!

Global warming/fervent heat is NOT caused by man!

2007-04-11T20:26:00.000-04:00

I recently found the following article on CNN News, which confirms scripture, although most, if examined just on the surface, would probably not realize it. The thought that comes to mind is that heaven and earth BEAR WITNESS against man. One way, of course, is with signs in the heavens, which I've shared in a previous post here(way down near the bottom of this blog). However, now we have a 'second witness' to the fervent heat, and the simple fact that it is NOT being caused by man. Recall Isaiah 30:26 that it will be like the LIGHT of seven days....here is the story....(Added: the link to the story has changed. You can now find it at:
http://www.reuters.com/article/environmentNews/idUSN0434088320070405 . )

CHICAGO, Illinois (Reuters) -- Earth's dusty neighbor Mars is grappling with its own form of climate change as fluctuating solar radiation is kicking up dust and winds that may be melting the planet's southern polar ice cap, scientists said Wednesday.
Researchers have been watching the changing face of Mars for years, studying slight differences in the brightness and darkness of its surface.
These changes in brightness have been generally attributed to the presence of dust, but until now their effect on wind circulation and climate has not been clear.
NASA scientist Lori Fenton and colleagues, reporting this week in the journal Nature, now believe variations in radiation from the surface of Mars are fueling strong winds that stir up giant dust storms, trapping heat and raising the planet's temperature.
By studying changes in light reflected from the surface of Mars -- a measure known as an object's albedo -- they predict the red planet has warmed by around 1 degree Fahrenheit from the 1970s to the 1990s, which may in part have caused the recent retreat of the southern polar ice cap.(Story continues at the website).

Notice the beginning of the story, that they say outright that the cause is SOLAR RADIATION.
I am not a scientific genius, but one has to ask the question: why is MARS experiencing the same GLOBAL WARMING as we are? Simple: we both receive light from the same source, of course. It bears witness that we are seeing changes, predicted in scripture, that has nothing to do with man, and everything to do with Yah.
Coming soon to a planet near you!

An apology

2007-04-11T20:17:00.000-04:00

Shalom y'all,
First of all, my apologies for such a lengthy time between posts. I have been 'in prison', that is, a spiritual prison, for a little while, and now I'm about to be given my freedom, a joyous freedom in that I may serve Abba and Yahshua instead of the mammon. It's a personal thing. :-)
Abba has shown me some amazing things in the past few weeks, which I will share on this blog.
One is a confirmation on the 'fervent heat', as spoken about by Peter, given by Isaiah.
The other concerns some powerful information concerning a CHANGE in the PASSOVER, which all true Torah-believing Yahshua-minded believers must consider. This is not something that is being taught even in Messianic synogogues that I know of, let alone in the 'church'. The spirit of Yah and Yahshua is with those who have been 'cast out' of those spiritless places, in that the harvest is happening NOW!
May you be blessed by HIS WORD in these posts, and may we all sit at His table in the coming Kingdom IN ISRAEL soon!
Michael

Hope you have LOTS of sunscreen...

2006-10-21T13:30:00.000-04:00

For those of you who have little scientific knowledge, the ozone layer helps protect us from harmful rays from the sun. Well, that protection is depleting, as this story bears witness to...

http://www.universetoday.com/2006/10/19/biggest-ozone-hole-ever/

Intro:
If you’re going to Antarctica, put on your sunscreen. According to NASA and NOAA scientists, the ozone hole above the Earth’s Southern Hemisphere is the biggest on record. In late September, the new hole reached 27.5 million square km. Even through most countries banned ozone-depleting chemicals many years ago, they’re expected to continue effecting the atmosphere for decades to come.

Getting a little WARM for you?

2006-10-15T06:42:00.000-04:00

Here's a little something concerning the fervent heat that Peter (and Isaiah)spoke about(you'll find the passages in 2Peter 3:10-12, along with Isaiah 30:26 and Malachi 4:1-4). I'll give you the link to the full story, and just give the introduction here....

http://www.universetoday.com/2006/09/25/warmest-world-in-12000-years

Hot enough for you? A new NASA study has found that global temperatures are nearing their hottest level in more than 12,000 years - since the last glaciers covered large portions of the planet. In fact, global temperatures have been going up approximately 0.2° Celsius (.36° Fahrenheit) per decade for the past 30 years. In fact, global temperatures are now within one degree Celsius of the hottest temperatures measured in the last million years.

(One comment: inserting a bit of skepticm, how do they know what the temperature was 12,000 years ago? Or for that matter, even a couple of thousand years ago? I'm not sure how far back records go concerning this. Nevertheless, there is more recent evidence that things are definitely 'warming up'.--Michael)

Earthly observation

2006-07-26T20:55:00.000-04:00

Here comes another interesting observation, this time from the planet Earth and not from the heavenlies.
Ezekiel wrote of a judgement against the King of Tyre, Tyre being in southern Lebanon, if I have my geography right.(If not, let me know.) The judgement of Tyre does not come from Israel, but from the King of Babylon, Nebuchadrezzar. Ezekiel 26...
Eze 26:1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 26:2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished, now she is laid waste:
Eze 26:3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up.
Eze 26:4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
Eze 26:5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations.
Eze 26:6 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Eze 26:7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people.
Eze 26:8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee.
Eze 26:9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
Eze 26:10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.
Eze 26:11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
Eze 26:12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water.
Eze 26:13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard.
Eze 26:14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
Eze 26:15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry, when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee?
Eze 26:16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee.
Eze 26:17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed, that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it!
Eze 26:18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
Eze 26:19 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee;
Eze 26:20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited; and I shall set glory in the land of the living;
Eze 26:21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for, yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD.
I'm not much for looking around to see what the world is doing, as usually the 'left' hand doesn't know what the 'right' hand is doing. BUT, there has been at least some 'rumors' that outside forces are building to enter the area. For example, I received this story....
Report: Bush mulling troops for Lebanon... Could be part of 'large' multinational force...Military shocked...
http://harpers.org/sb-source-bush-admin-lebanon-1153936109.html

There's much discussion of putting a multinational, NATO-led force in southern Lebanon as part of a ceasefire agreement in the Israel–Lebanon conflict, but Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, according to a story in the Washington Post, has said that she does "not think that it is anticipated that U.S. ground forces . . . are expected for that force." However, a well-connected former CIA officer has told me that the Bush Administration is in fact considering exactly such a deployment.
The officer, who had broad experience in the Middle East while at the CIA, noted that NATO and European countries, including England, have made clear that they are either unwilling or extremely reluctant to participate in an international force. Given other nations' lack of commitment, any "robust" force—between 10,000 and 30,000 troops, according to estimates being discussed in the media—would by definition require major U.S. participation. According to the former official, Israel and the United States are currently discussing a large American role in exactly such a "multinational" deployment, and some top administration officials, along with senior civilians at the Pentagon, are receptive to the idea.
So, has the 'King of Babylon' decided to enter in and destroy forever the 'King of Tyre'? I guess time will tell.

An observation of the next sign?

2006-07-25T01:08:00.000-04:00

First of all, if you have not read about the sign given in Revelation 12:1-2, you should scroll down until you get to a picture of what looks like a woman laying on her side and read that.
What I'm addressing now continues from that point. Notice what the next verses say....

Rev 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Notice the picture posted here, which I took with my Starry night program. I combined two images so that you could see that the constellation DRACO, which means 'dragon', is in the northern sky. This is actually pretty normal....Draco has been in our northern sky for a long time. I found it rather interesting, though, that if you take the view from Israel, and consider the current situation going on, Israel is shooting missiles at Draco as they fire upon Lebanon. The constellation rotates around but has been in the northern sky consistently for many millenium. I actually 'rewound' the clock with the program, and at around 4500 bc or so(give or take 500 years), it starts to drop below the horizon. In other words, around 4500 bc Draco started appearing on the horizon of the earth.
I leave it up to you to judge the significance, if any, of this to the current war with Lebanon, but I feel safe to say that the war with the 'dragon' is on.
I usually leave 'personal' notes off this, because it is the Word which matters, not me. But, an odd thing happened to me. I was in Israel for the last three months(thats as long as I can stay, since I MUST confess Yahshua as my 'rabbi', and 'they' just don't seem to accept that yet). I booked my round trip ticket at the end of March, entering the country in mid-April, and leaving on July 12. Yea, I left the same day they started bombing Lebanon. And for a majority of the time I had been staying with believers in the north country. While I'm at it, I would definitely solicit your prayers for safety for all true believers who are in the north country, for their protection or removal during what I feel will be a very challenging time.

More on Messiah's return

2005-11-14T20:39:00.000-05:00

I am in the process of doing a study on how and what Yahshua taught from the Torah and the Old Testament as a whole. I'm using the book of Matthew, going chapter by chapter. I was looking at Matt.3, the reference to John the Baptist using the harvest of wheat analogy, and I stumbled upon something that may be included in the overall picture of Messiah's return.
If you look in Exodus 9, you will find the account of hail mixed with fire falling on Egypt. Note that in this account, in verse 31, it indicates that the BARLEY was destroyed, because it was abib, but, in verse 32, the wheat and rye were NOT destroyed because they were not grown up. This again indicates around the time of what would later become PASSOVER, the spring of the year.
More as it is revealed.....

Return of Messiah

2005-11-06T11:15:00.000-05:00

America, church, its time to come out of Babylon. Its time for the bride to go out to meet the bridegroom. Its time to repent of all the paganism that has been accepted as 'religion' and 'doctrines of man'. Its time to return to the purity of the Word, to keep His commandments and His testimony.

What does it mean to come out of Babylon? Yahshua gave some clues...'If you would be perfect, go sell your things, pick up your cross, and follow Me.(Mark 10:21)' 'Do not be concerned with cares of this world, so that the day come upon you unaware(Luke 21:34)'. "You cannot serve both Yah and mammon." The prophets also spoke about this.....

Hos 5:13 When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.

Hos 5:14 For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

Hos 5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.

Hos 6:1 Come, and let us return unto YHWH: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.

Hos 6:2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

Hos 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know YHWH: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

Hos 6:4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

Hos 6:5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth.

Hos 6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of Elohim more than burnt offerings.

Hos 6:7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

Hos 6:8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, and is polluted with blood.

Hos 6:9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

Hos 6:10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the whoredom of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

Hos 6:11 Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.

Psa 89:46 How long, YHWH? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Yahshua said that He longed to bring a fire judgement to the world and set up His kingdom....

Luk 12:49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?

Luk 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened(constrained) till it be accomplished!

We know there has been a spiritual fire going on for the last 2000 years, but there is to be a physical fire judgement as well...

2Pe 3:2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Messiah:

2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,

2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

2Pe 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of Yah the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

2Pe 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with YHWH as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

2Pe 3:9 YHWH is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2Pe 3:10 But the day of YHWH will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of YHWH, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

2Pe 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.

So where did the prophets speak of a physical fire?

Isa 30:26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that YHWH bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

Isa 30:27 Behold, the name of YHWH cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

Isa 30:28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

Isa 30:29 Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of YHWH, to the mighty One of Israel.

Isa 30:30 And YHWH shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, and shall shew the lighting down of his arm, with the indignation of his anger, and with the flame of a devouring fire, with scattering, and tempest, and hailstones.

Isa 30:31 For through the voice of YHWH shall the Assyrian be beaten down, which smote with a rod.

Look at verse 26 for a moment...moon bright as the sun, sun is sevenfold. We know from Zech. 14 that He sets foot on the Mount of Olives, this is also testified in Acts 1 that He returns the same way He left. We also know that He comes like a thief in the night.(Mar. 13:35, 1Thes.5:2, 2Pe 3:10 and others). There are also references that this will be at the time of PASSOVER....

Mat 24:45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

Mat 24:46 Blessed is that servant, whom his Master when he cometh shall find so doing.

Luk 12:42 And Yahshua said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his Master shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?

Notice also that the reference in Luke comes while speaking about Messiah coming in the night watch(verses 37,38). If you understand the traditions of Pesach(passover), which includes the week of Unleavened bread, then this should also make sense to you...

Zep 1:2 I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith YHWH. (Interestingly, some versions use the word 'SWEEP' for 'consume', perhaps because of this later verse)

Zep 1:12 And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, YHWH will not do good, neither will he do evil.

Zep 1:13 Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation: they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

Notice the search with candles, with LIGHT, to find the leaven.

So, if He comes to the Mount of Olives at the time the moon turns as bright as the sun, whats going on on the OTHER SIDE of the planet? The opposite side of Israel is AMERICA. Think about it.

But, this is not the FIRST passover but the SECOND passover, a time which most people have forgotten was given in the LAW. This return at the second passover, on 'a day you do not know', because most people have not been observing passover PROPERLY. An example of this is given in 2 Chronicles 29-31, and it occurs in the FIRST year of King Hezekiah, a GOOD King in the eyes of Yah. Before you read through it, read the parable given in Matt. 22. You will find many parallels in that parable to the passages in 2 Chronicles. Note also that they had to observe the second passover because: 1)they were unclean, 2)there were not enough priests to handle the task, and, more important, 3)they had not observed the passover PROPERLY. Notice also what happened....they were so JOYFUL to observe it properly that they did it for TWO WEEKS instead of ONE. Do we have another example of a TWO WEEK celebration in scripture? Yes we do....you'll find it in Gen. 30:21-30...THE MARRIAGE OF JACOB TO LEAH AND RACHEL. The importance of this: 1)Yahshua's life mirrored many aspects of Jacob's life, 2)Leah was mother to Judah, while Rachel bore Joseph, from which EPHRAIM came, both are the TWO sticks given in Ezekiel 37, 3)as you can see, this was a TWO WEEK MARRIAGE SUPPER. 4)The second passover occurs at the same timeframe that Noah entered into the Ark. The 2nd passover would occur at the 14th day of the second month. The flood judgement occurred during the second month: Noah was put into the ark on the 10th day, the flood started on the 17th day.

But there is still more evidence that He will return at passover. Notice what He tells His disciples at the 'last' supper....

Luk 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

Luk 22:16 For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of Yah.

Luk 22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:

Luk 22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of Yah shall come.

Mat 26:26 And as they were eating, Yahshua took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

This cup which He said He would drink in His Father's kingdom was the FOURTH cup, the cup of ACCEPTANCE, when we are accepted into His Kingdom.

Remember this is all about how THE LAW IS TO BE FULFILLED.

There are other general points to be considered when addressing His return:

1)He said He is King of the sabbath. The everlasting covenant of peace, which was given initially to Phinehas in Numbers 25, is given to those who bear the 'sword of the Word'.

2)Since there is to be no GATHERING on the sabbath(Num. 15:32), the bride(wheat) must be gathered BEFORE His return(the wheat shall be gathered in His barn(Mat.13:30). Where is His barn? How about BETHLEHEM? Notice in the first chapter of Ruth, that they came to BETHLEHEM at the beginning of the BARLEY HARVEST, which would have been at PASSOVER time.

3)As shown above, He brings a FIRE JUDGEMENT to the world. It is against scripture to kindle a fire on the sabbath(Ex 35:3), so this fire must come BEFORE the sabbath.

4)There will be NO MONEY on the sabbath. It is against scripture to buy or sell on the sabbath(Neh.10:31), and Isaiah speaks of this as well...

Isa 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Isa 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Isa 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

Now there is the spiritual application to this as well, but we know from other familiar prophecies that Yahshua's return crushes all the other kingdoms, and they are those based on money(Babylon, mammon).

I would warn those of you who think you will be 'raptured' out, that are just sitting and waiting for Yahshua to whisk you away....

Deu 29:18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from YHWH Elohim, to go and serve the elohim of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

Deu 29:19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

Deu 29:20 YHWH will not spare him, but then the anger of YHWH and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and YHWH shall blot out his name from under heaven.

Deu 29:21 And YHWH shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

Deu 29:22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which YHWH hath laid upon it;

Deu 29:23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which YHWH overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

Deu 29:24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath YHWH done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

Deu 29:25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of YHWH Elohim of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

Deu 29:26 For they went and served other elohim, and worshipped them, elohim whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

Deu 29:27 And the anger of YHWH was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

Deu 29:28 And YHWH rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

Deu 29:29 The secret things belong unto YHWH Elohim: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Bottom line to all this: be in Israel for passover next year, and plan to stay. You will be building a SPIRITUAL temple, a temple made without hands, in the land given to all those who follow the Word.

Signs in the heavens

2005-07-08T01:31:00.000-04:00

What I am about to explain have been merely observations, but observations of a diligent watchman, as Yahshua told us to do.(Matt.24:42, Mark 13:37 and others). What I give you takes 10 minutes to explain, yet took nearly a year of observing, and is still not completely fulfilled. I would preface this by saying I am giving the OBSERVATIONS, you have to decide the meaning. The observations can be verified by various scientific or news websites, or in some cases, a simple astronomy program like I use, Starry Night Backyard, which is how I was able to do the pictures. IF YOU BELIEVE THE OBSERVATIONS ARE TRUE, then you will be required to rethink what you 'think you know' concerning the understanding of what Yahshua was teaching His disciples, as these observations will contradict what the 'church' has been teaching its 'sheeple' for countless years. I can also show scripture where the doctrine these observations point to can be found in. I'm a 'sola scriptura' kind of guy. That might be for a future post.
Here is the scripture to be addressed:
Mat 24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
Mat 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
The time is late 2001. Everyone is still reeling from 9/11.(An aside: where were you when you HEARD the news about the WTC event? I have talked to people from the U.S., Finland, Norway, England, Canada, and elsewhere, and they ALL KNEW exactly where they were and what they were doing at the time they first heard the news about it. Coincidence? Doubtful) I wondered where this event was in scripture at the time(its in Isaiah 30, btw), and was 'woke up' when 9/11 happened. I was then led spiritually to continue watching for signs. At the time, I knew of some solar and lunar eclipses that were occurring, but did not have any knowledge about any spiritual meaning to them. Then came Dec. 14, 2001.....
24:29 'Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven....
The first two, about the sun and moon, can easily be described as a solar eclipse. Solar eclipses ONLY occur at the new moon, when the moon is dark. However, for the first time during 'my watch', ALL THREE occurred on the same day. There was a solar eclipse, and that night, the earth experienced a VERY BIG meteor shower....hence 'the stars shall fall from heaven'.... It was such an event that it made headlines in the news. That started me watching to see what would come next.
'....and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:'.....April 2002. The sun was peaking, that is, causing solar flares, and caused intense 'aurora borealis' or northern lights. But this was no ordinary show. They were visible clear down into the southern states. I recall at least one report of people seeing them in Texas, and Arizona, I think. At this point, I'm still skeptical, but going 'Hmmm'. My big question was for the next one.....
24:30 'And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven:'.....
The problem with this one is that scripture simply does NOT give what the sign is supposed to be, at least none that I have ever found. And I have found no one to give even a speculation as to what it is. My questions were answered May 6th, 2002, on that evening in the western sky. It was an alignment of planets and ONE star, Aldeberan. The picture of it is posted above...you can click on it to get a clearer picture of it. How do I know this is 'it'? For a number of reasons, besides the fact that it fell in order of Matt.24: it occurred exactly 40 days after passover, events at the time were actually focused on Bethlehem(it was the time where some Palestinians were 'holed up' in the church of the Nativity), AND it looks EXACTLY like the 'all seeing eye' that is on the back of the U.S. dollar bill! satan tries to copy things of Yah. Doing further research, I found another 'triangle' in the sky using my Starry Night program. It occurred Mar.19, 5 b.c. and it had as one point the same star, Aldeberan. In my opinion, this is the 'star' the magicians saw that announced the birth of Yahshua, and gave them enough time to travel to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, His probable birth date.
There is something else important about this sign and the date, which I will get to in a moment.
So far, we have the events Yahshua told us to watch for occurring in the order He gave them. The next one also came to pass....
'.....and then shall all the tribes on the earth mourn....' This actually was Sept.11, 2002, when the whole world marked the WTC event. At 8:45 am local time in most major cities, there was an orchestra playing Mozart's 'Requiem' for the event, and all the countries of the world observed this day of mourning.
The next one is the one I'm waiting on still......
'They shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.'
Remember, all these events came IN ORDER. I have every reason to believe the above is next, and very soon. How soon? Well, I did a little research on the sign given May 6, 2002, and found something interesting. If you count 1260 days from that date you come to October 13, 2005. That day, on the biblical calendar, is the Day of Atonement, the day of Judgement. Ten days before that, on October 3, 2005, there will be a solar eclipse in Israel....darkness falls on the land.
Something else will also occur on Oct.3rd....look at the picture I have posted here. This is actually a 'daylight' picture, which I removed the daylight so that you could see the constellation 'picture' to occur that day. This sign is given at the beginning of Revelation 12...
Rev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Rev 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
At the time of the picture I give here, that is the time of the solar eclipse. I would point out that to the left of the sun(the black spot), there is a 'triangle' of 2 planets and the star Spica. It looks like she is about to give birth, with Venus (the bright morning star given in Rev. 21) looking on. One thing to consider...'the moon under her feet' will actually occur on Oct. 5th, but the sun will continue to 'clothe' Virgo. There is another point to this sign...On Jan. 13, there was a conjuncture(where two bright objects come close enough to look like one)of Mercury and Venus. This was exactly 9 MONTHS before October 13th.
My 'opinion'...there is going to be a birth on this earth, perhaps the birth of mankind. It is up to you to decide.

The meaning of the title

I want to explain the meaning of the title of this blog, so that when all is said and done you will understand. It doesn't matter whether you want to BELIEVE it or not, it is going to happen. The only decision you have to make is whether you will make it to the other side of it or not. That is what your choice is. And by reading this, you no longer have an option....you have been told.
Our world is entering into a transition phase, a phase in which mankind is being completed. That is the END part. The beginning is really at the end of this transition. So, let me explain to you what the END will be like, then we'll cover the BEGINNING part.
Before I do, let me say that it doesn't matter what 'religion' you are. It will come down to some vital parts of your belief, which I will cover. I am going to reference what most call the Bible, simply because it is the truth. It is not MY truth, like some new age people would like to explain away, it is THE TRUTH. How do I know this? Because the Bible is IN every major religion, and it's in our everyday lives. It is the only 'document' that was written directly from the voice and fingers of God. The Ten commandments EXIST today, whether you want to BELIEVE it does not matter. You observe at least some of those commandments in your everyday life. Society as a whole TRIES to enforce at least some of those commandments. It is from those commandments that everything else comes from. All the laws that society has stems from trying to teach each other HOW to 'love thy neighbor', which, in case you haven't looked, is in both the Old and the New Testament.(Lev. 19:18/Matt.22:39)
At this point, you might be thinking that I'm trying to pass along some 'christian fundamentalism', or whatever title you want to give it. It is really unfortunate that, because of SO much false teachers and preachers out there CLAIMING to know the truth, many will perish because they follow them. Look at how many people have been mourning for the pope. Why? What did he change? He simply continued to reinforce a doctrine of man that was established about 1700 years ago. They do not follow the Bible, they follow their laws which THEY CHANGED FROM THE BIBLE. The same could be said about christianity, islam, or any other 'religion'. They take bits and pieces of the original commands that God gave, and then change and manipulate it for CONTROL over the society they are in. Those calling themselves 'Jews' do it in Israel. Even Mohammed admitted to things about the 'keepers of the Book'. By acknowledging scripture, he still was admitting that there was something greater than his writings, and some of his writings were taken FROM it. But that is a digression I won't get into here.
At this point, I must interject here....YES, there was one who gave His life for the sacrifice of mankind. His real name is Yahshua....the name 'Jesus' was created later and is false, HOWEVER, the testimony given in the New Testament is true about the man. He is spoken about in the Old Testament as well. Although most 'christians' really have no clue what it means when they say to 'believe in Jesus', let me spell it out to you: He came and died for the sins of mankind as a perfect sacrifice, He was resurrected from the dead, and He was the physical manifestation of GOD'S LAWS. Yahshua is the 'line in the sand', and depending on which side of that line you are on will determine in part whether you survive what's coming.
Back to the END...what is the END? It is the completion to the present structure of things. The lifestyle that most have been living will be done away with, and I'll interject here....few will survive. It is given in Isaiah as 'the great slaughter'. Money will be done away with, you can expect a financial collapse soon, starting with the American dollar. Material possessions...all your 'toys' that make your life so nice and easy(including the computer you're using right now), will be done away with. Many will die, because they choose to defend themselves with weapons of various makes, or because they do not survive physical changes that will occur. At some point, the sun will grow sevenfold, burning up at least half the planet, maybe more. Already the polar ice caps are melting, releasing germs that have been there for centuries. Obviously, I'm describing some physical manifestations that will occur, but these are ALL from God, and are given in scripture.
As awful as this all sounds, there is good that will come from this, which is then the BEGINNING. Although many will perish, there will still be some that will survive. Scripture calls them 'the great multitude'. These will be people of peace, people who either KNOW the commands or people who will be willing to LEARN the commands of God. The BEGINNING is the start of the everlasting covenant of peace. As I said before, money will be gone, the entire structure of 'society' will change, and best of all, those remaining will be at peace. There will no longer be war. The earth will be at rest.
Some of this you already know, because mankind is already groaning at these things. You may be feeling something 'inside', but you don't have a firm idea of what it is. You may know 'something' is about to occur, and you would be right. So, you have to make a choice now.....will you continue in 'your ways' or will you turn to the Bible to learn God's ways? Like I wrote before, you know the truth now, and it doesn't matter whether you BELIEVE it or not. You must make a choice. And make it very soon.
