Latest 5.8 Earthquake and Huricane Irene

Towards the end of the book of Daniel, Daniel wrote in Chapter 11, verse 33, " And those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many;......".  There seems to be a pattern now of natural events occuring at a more frequent pace.  I wrote in earlier bloggs about this, when in Mathew 24, Jesus gave the disciples some signs of the end of this age.  He told of earthquakes that would occur in various places, that would increase with more intensity and more frequent.  One of the reasons why this is occuring more in the United States, is because America was once a beacon of the Truth to the world.  The Gospel of Jesus was a common belief in the U.S. .  Sunday mornings were once full of television programs where the Gospel of Jesus was well recieved and the teachings were coveted.  The spirit of the anti-Christ has crept in.  It was the last domain that Satan had to defeat to accomplish his goal of total world domination.  If the U.S. turns back from this attack, then it will explain why there will be armies that will come against the power of this anti- Christ in the end times.  If the U.S. fails to return with freedom to the freedom and love of the Truth, then more natural disasters will befall her.  Jesus protected the U.S. as long as she acknowledged Him, but in 1963 they removed Him out of the schools.  Ponds of Satan have made up a thing called seperation of church and state.  They are making more and more things to be considered parts of the state.  On the current course, soon the Truth will not be allowed to be proclaimed anywhere.  If this is what the framers of the U.S. Government had intended, you think that they would not have allowed the Bible to be taught in schools back then, or have the Bible the book by which people in courts would swear to tell the truth, or it's politcal officers swear by it to defend the Constitution, or allow a Congress chaplin to pray before it's sessions began. If abolishings the Bible from the Government is what they had intended, they would have never allowed it. The U.S. once was a country of heavenly ambassadors who took the Truth of the Gospel to many nations.  God's devine protection was upon her.  Now with more and more rejections of the Truth, she is tieing His hands from being able to protect her.  At a memorial for one of her most horrifying events, Jesus is not even allowed to be mentioned.  He is known as the Protector, Comforter, Refuge, Redeemer, Savior, Councelor, Strong Tower, Peace and summed up in all He is LOVE.  You would think they would want Him there.  They are loosing their Way, Please pray for them.  Please don't mistake this with being anything to do with politics.  We are now way beyond politics.  There are well meaning ponds in all political groups, as well as not so well meaning ponds in all political groups.  Satan knows what will happen towards the end.  He is and will try to discredit the signs of the end  of the age.  He is already using global warming, climate change or whatever he wants to call it, to explain all the natural disasters that will be occuring.  There will be two endtime witnesses that will appear on the earth , and one of them will make a proclamation that no rain will fall on the earth for three years.  That would be a convincing sign if not for Satan pushing it off as global warming.  I will leave you with one more word for thought.  The Book of Revelation is the revelation of the end times from Jesus to John.  I will be talking more about this book in future bloggs.  It says that in the middle of that seven year peace pact with Israel, three and a half years in, that the anti-Christ, at that time, will suffer a fatal wound.  Simultainiosly at that time, in the Book of Revelations, Chapter 12, verse 9, it says that Satan and his demons( fallen angels) will be cast down to the earth.  The anti-Christ will recover from his wound.  Satan is already, at this time, the god of the earth, can't you tell?  He and his demons already have acsess to the earth.  They are already here in the spiritual realm influencing what is going on here on the earth.  It says that even now, Satan has access before the Throne of God, and there he accuses the brethren.  Go figure.  The thing I leave you with is this, What will the difference be and how will they explain where they came from?  They can't say who they really are.  Hint: extra.  Are they preping their entrance? Peace to you.

The Day of the Lord

Before I continue in Daniel about the abomination of desolation, I need to make clear what the timelines are in regards to what Paul refers to as the day of the Lord.  In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians in the 4th chapter, he wrote,

             " But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who have died,
             that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope.  For if we believe that Jesus
             died and rose from the dead, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen
             asleep in Jesus.  For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive,
             and remain until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep.
             For the Lord Himself will decend from heaven with a shout, with the trumpet of God;
             and the dead in Christ shall rise first.  Then those who are alive and remain shall be
             caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus we
             shall  always be with the Lord.  Therefore comfort one another with these words."

This will be a glorious event.  It says that all creations yearns to see the revealing of the New Creations.  All believers will be changed at that moment into a new glorified creation that will become a creation that will be in the same likeness as their Gorified Lord, Jesus.  Unimaginable.  Paul wrote about this in His first letter to the Corinthians in the 15th chapter, and in it he wrote,

            " Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God;
            nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.  Behold, I tell you a mistery; we shall 
            not all die(sleep), but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
            at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable,
            and we shall be changed.  For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this                              mortal must put on immortality"

You may have noticed that in both of Pauls writings, he refers to a trumpet sound.  When the Book of Revealations is woven into this picture, you will see what these are.

Now as to the time of this event.  Getting back to Paul's first letter the Thessalonians, he wrote in chapter 5,

             " Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be
             written to you.  for you yourselves know full and well that the day of the Lord will
             come just like a thief in the night.  While they are saying, "Peace and safety!"
             then  destruction will come upon them suddenly like birth pangs upon a women
             with child; and they shall not escape.  But you, brethern, are not in the darkness,
             that that day should overtake you like a thief; for you are all sons of the day. 
             We are not of the night or of darkness."

 A couple important things to note.  One, is that the world will be saying, "Peace and safety!".
 Remember in Daniel that he was told of a seven year peace covenant that the anti- Christ will make with Israel and then break it after three and a half years. 

The second thing to note, is that believers will not be unaware as to, at least, when the day of the Lord will be nearing.  No man knows the day or the hour,  but the saints will not be unaware as to what is going on.  The saints do know that they are preserved from the wrath of God.  Not only preserved, but they will execute the wrath with Jesus,  as revealed in Daniel and my last blog.  This will not occur until after the anti- Christ is revealed.

Paul wrote in his second letter to the Thessalonians in the 2nd chapter a warning as to storys that where confussing the church as to the day of the Lord.  Paul wrote,

          " Now we request you , brethern, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,
          and our gathering together to Him, that you may not be quickly shaken from your
          composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the
          effect that the day of the Lord has come.  Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will
          not come unless the apostasy( the falling away from the faith, by those who were christian
          by name only, who were deceived by the deceptions of the anti-Christ) comes first, and
          the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,  who opposes and exalts
          himself above every so- called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the
          temple of God, displaying himslf as being God.  Do you not remember that while I was
          still with you, I was telling you these things?  And you know what now restrains him now,
          so that in his time he may be revealed.  For the mistery of the lawless one is already at
          work; only he who now restains will do so until he is taken out of the way.  And then
          the lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth
          and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that, is, the one whose coming is
          in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with
          all deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of
          the truth so as to be saved."

 Note that people only perish because they do not receive the love of the truth as to be saved. 

Jesus says look to Daniel ( Part 2 )

Jesus told His disciples to look to Daniel for the sign that the end of the age would be near, and the of abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, is that sign.  Also in Daniel's 7th chapter, verses 23 - 27,  Daniel wrote again about a vision that was explained to him concerning the 4th kingdom.  Daniel was told that:

           " the fourth beast will be a forth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from
           all the other kingdoms, and it will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 
           As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise: and another will arise after
           them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three of the kings. 
           And he will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One,
           and he will make alterations in times and in law........

 ( Note: The alterations are when this anti -Christ will break a seven year peace agreement with Israel. After only 3 1/2 years into this so called peace time, the anti -Christ will come against Israel and seat himself in the Temple, making claims of being God.)

           ........... and they will be given into his hands for time (1year), times (2 years) and
           half a time (1/2 year).  But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be
           taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.  Then the sovereignty, the dominion  , the                  greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the
           saints  of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all the
           dominions  will serve and obey Him"                          


This prophesy will be repeated in different ways throughout the Bible.  I will be covering all of them as my blog continues.  If you have not read my previous blogs, please take advantage of them.  Peace to you.

The anti-Christ

I can not continue to talk about the anti-Christ without giving an understanding as to the nature and influence of the being.  I called him a being because in actuality he is a force of influence who has been at work in this role for over two thousand years.  Before Jesus came and after Jesus came, he has been known as the adversary or Satan.  He still is those, but after the Resurrection of Jesus, Satan took on another role.  Besides becoming the accuser of the brethren before the Throne of God, Satan became dedicated to attacking the Truth of the Gospel.  Satan attacks everything pertaining to Jesus and the whole Gospel message, which is:

1)Jesus was conceived by God - not the seed Adam so He was sinless
2)Jesus was born to a virgin
3)Jesus was crucified for the forgiveness of sin
4)Jesus resurrected from the dead to give Eternal Life
5) Jesus was taken up into the heavens to prepare His Kingdom in heaven
6) Jesus is returning to resurrect and call up all of His believers
7) Jesus then with His Saints, execute judgment on those who were destroying the earth and refusing to believe the Truth to be saved
8) Jesus then will rule over the earth from His Heavenly Kingdom for one thousand years with His Saints

Since after the Resurrection,  and the formation of the Church, ( which means the Body of Christ ), Satan has been maligning and attacking the Truth.  The apostle John wrote a few years after the resurrection of Jesus, that the spirit of the anti- Christ is already at work in the world.

In John's first letter, he wrote in the 2nd chapter,

           " Children, it is the last hour; and just as you have heard that the antichrist is coming,
           even now many antichrist have arisen; from this we know that it is the last hour.......who
           is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ.  This is the antichrist, the one
           who denies the Father and the Son.  Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father;
           the one who confesses the Son has the Father also."

In the 4th chapter, John wrote,

           " By this we know the Spirit of God; every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has
           come in the flesh is from God; and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from
           God; and this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming,
           and now it is already in the world.  You are from God, little children, and have
           overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 
           They are from the world, they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 
           We are from God; he who knows God will listen to us; he who is not from God does not
           listen to us.  By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."

If you notice in these writings, John refers to antichrist as both a spirit and then one who will come.  The spirit of the antichrist has now influenced this world for over two thousands years.  His goal is to keep the Truth away from as many people as possible.  Every person who receives Jesus is transformed out of the kingdom of darkness and into the Kingdom of Light.  Satan sees all of this happening in the spiritual realm and hates it.  He does a lot of  things to keep the Truth from people.  During the dark ages, he hid the Word of God from the people, but Jesus did not allow him to destroy it.  We are in a time again where he is trying to silence the Word of God again.  Many people are unaware that they are being influenced by him to help silence the Truth of Jesus.  You can not help but notice the animosity that is building towards Christianity and Israel.  If Satan is to be successful in leading this world, he has to be successful in getting people to mock and despise Christians and hate Israel.  You can notice in the world a lot of unlikely bed fellows united with a common purpose of trying to deminish the influence of the Truth and knowledge of Jesus in the world.  The end will not come until the Gospel of Jesus Kingdom is preached in all the world.

Jesus' says look to Daniel ( Part 1 )

Jesus told His disciples to look to Daniel's prophecy about the Abomination of Desolation, standing in the holy place.  This would be a sign that the end of this age would be nearing a close.  Daniel spoke about this in a few places in his writings.  Daniel wrote in the 7th chapter about a succession of powers of leaders with the last one having a mouth uttering great boasts. At that time there will be ten leaders.  Three of them will be replaced by this one.  While this leader is doing what he is doing to the earth,  the Ancient of Days ( Jesus ) will take His seat, His rule, but not on the earth yet.  While this leader continues to speak his boastful words against the Ancient of Days, he will end up being slain, and it's body will be destroyed and given to the burning fire.  Then Jesus will begin a dominion that will be everlasting and His kingdom will not be destroyed.  From now on, I will refer to the leader of great boast as the anti-Christ, for that is what he is called in scripture.  Before this anti-Christ is killed, he will wage war with the saints and overpower them.  Then Jesus will come and pass judgment in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and at that time the saints will take possession of the kingdom.  This is just a quick summation of what I will be expanding on.  The Abomination of Desolation, is when this anti-Christ will break a seven year peace agreement with Israel.  The agreement will allow Israel  to start back up sacrifices in the temple.  In the middle of that peace covenant, the anti- Christ will break the covenant, and seat himself in the temple, making claims of being god, great boast.  There is a lot more of this picture to paint and I want it to be a masterpiece.   So I will take small strokes in painting it.  If you haven't read my previous blogs please take advantage of them.  Thank you.
