THE Approaching Fire

For your eyes only: The month of May looks to be a tricky time with both the Iran deal and Korea’s Kim up for negotiations, the NRA meeting in Dallas, the AT&T decision, and the move of the American Embassy! Putin is a lot like Kim in that both have assassinated their own people overseas, have hacked our systems, and have threatened us with nuclear weapons.  This is now May 8th and Trump has successfully nixed that bad Iran agreement.  Amazing how the media misrepresented the truth. The Iran deal did not do what Obama said it would do, hold back violence in the Middle East.  It only empowered Iran to spend the money we gave them to build and ship better weapons and rockets to its proxies and its own forces in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon!  Obama sold out Israel with a kiss.
 
There have also been 3 rather large earthquakes in Iran and 3 large eruptions of the Steamboat geyser in Yellowstone- each eruption being 10 times larger than Old Faithful’s size. God has shown me that May is also significant as it leads to Shavout or Pentecost which many feel is an important transitional point in time for both Jew and Gentile. It denotes two important points in history when God reached down to man with fire and love. First there was the Law at Mt. Horeb when God wrote the Law with the finger of fire, and then there was Pentecost when the Holy Spirit appeared in fingers of fire upon each believer. It represents what Zachariah said, “Not by might, nor by power, but by Spirit saith the Lord”.
Will God test our Spirit and our willingness to go to Him for guidance, help, and strength? Will we look to the Holy Spirit who is sealed in each believer and to the Moral Law for guidance or will be look to the world and its lies?  I believe that God is warning us that He will soon test us with fire mixed with love.  Just as in the case of the twin towers, God’s testing brought people to repentance.  If our nation would repent and seek God with all our hearts we would not go through this testing.  However, each time He brings a test we go through only a temporary repentance which, as in the time of Israel’s judgment, was soon followed by even worse disobedience and harlotry.  As a nation many fools are relishing evil and rebellion against God’s love and message.  God has only one choice – and that is to punish this blatant rebellion before “His innocent children fall away.”  ……this is what the Lord has placed in my heart…..By the way II Thessalonians warns us about the rebellion that happens right before the rise of the Anti-Christ.  We are seeing many powerful leaders go down in flames as they lie and boast – but then fall when their own sin is discovered.  The latest was the famed N.Y. district Attorney who was prosecuting the Harvey Weinstein case and in trying to make Harvey a spectacle to scowl at – he became the greater spectacle!
You can read more about this timeline and the “Wheels of Time” that are crossing over by reading my book: Cosmic CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation.

The Approaching Darkness –

There is an Approaching Darkness. When Jesus was on the cross there was a darkness for 3 hours that terrified even the soldiers. This was neither an eclipse nor a cloud. This was a supernatural darkness that also resulted in an earthquake, the cracking of rocks (which must have made some horrendous noise), and the supernatural top-to-bottom tearing of the 4-inch thick curtain dividing the Holy of Holies from the inner sanctuary. The thick darkness that fell over Egypt as the ninth plague covered the earth for 3 days. I believe that this is not a coincidence. In my book I compare the period of 70 days from the “budding of the fig tree” to the time of “fruit bearing” as a parallel to the 70-year Prophetic Generation spoken by Jesus at the Olivet discourse. It is fitting that the Shadow of death striking the first-born of Egypt came right after the 3 days of Darkness. Likewise the death of the Savior came right after the 3 hours of darkness. The fleeing Israelites were delivered by God, just as God delivered mankind in the resurrection. The 70 days of flower-to-fig conversion where the flower becomes the inner part of the fruit, is a unique floral transformation from the inside out. Likewise, the 70-year Prophetic Generation discussed in my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN will generate a unique time of New Beginnings and repentance among a lost generation of “flower children.” There will follow a deliverance for those who seek God and find him.

At our ministry this last Sunday, a guy who claimed Jesus Christ in his life, exuberantly demanded my attention while I was sharing God’s Truth with a younger man (much like what happened many weeks ago when I was sharing with the young New Ager- and a Hindu crazed guy interrupted our conversation- who also claimed a relationship with Jesus). This new guy had numerous tattoos on his arms hands and neck. He wanted to tell me that the Bible supported the idea that the earth was flat. I told him that Isaiah stated the phrase “the circle of the earth” which he ignored and then quoted Genesis: “and the Spirit hovered over the face of the waters”. He asked me how can the “face of waters” be round, and then stated, “the word ‘face’ implies a flat surface and after all you cannot bend water!” I looked at him and replied, “you are wrong water can be bent”. Then he dared me to explain. So I asked him if he had ever heard of gravity? To which he replied “so what?”  I said there are many natural forces that can bend water and one of those is when you take a cup of water and swing your arm as you empty the cup….the water pours out in a bend due to centrifugal forces. But the most obvious and common bend is that due to gravity when a wave breaks on a beach…..it bends at the angle of the Fibonacci curve. He walked away…..

Why are there so many crazy people that claim to be Christians? Doesn’t the Holy Spirit give us common sense? Then it occurred to me that the majority of so called Christians actually believe that God did not create the Universe and everything in it- that evolution did it…..so it saddened me to realize how effective Satan has been. I ask these people to explain to themselves where all earths 356 trillion billion gallons of water came from, or how can evolution create a language called DNA which is more complicated and diverse than all the verbal languages on the earth put together!!!!??  Evolution cannot create even one single sentence in any language- the reality of evolution is so illogical that it would be easier to prove that the earth is flat.  This is just another sign of the End Times…. False Christs, Lies, Slander, and Deceit, and most of all Satan’s deception. Read my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN and learn more.

Something to Share: Had one of the top Prophecy Teachers tell me that I could not show nor sell my book at his Conference. He apparently disagreed with something I wrote. So I asked him a question concerning his recent TV show. He had said that on Palm Sunday Jesus entered Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate. He also stated that the Temple was actually not where the Dome of the Rock is but further north so that its entrance was in line with this Eastern Gate. I had told him that my book looks at many aspects of Prophecy and other Truths with logic from the viewpoint of an artist, scientist, and military strategist- that one of the weaknesses of present interpretation is that LOGIC and COMMON SENSE is often neglected. He implied that that was ridiculous- so I asked him a question about his lesson on TV, “how can you have the Eastern gate aligned with the Temple and yet still have Jesus making his entrance there?” He thought and then said “DUH – Jesus got off the donkey and then walked into the Temple grounds”. So I asked my NEXT question: “How then could this be called a Triumphal Entrance by the Prophet Zechariah?’ After all a Triumphal Entry implies a King entering on horseback!” He was stunned…and just ended the conversation. The truth is Jesus did not enter Jerusalem through the Eastern Gate. Yet this High Minded Prophecy Teacher has been teaching this on TV as if he is the expert.  This guy did not use common sense – since most people know that the most significant aspect about Christ’s entrance was that it was like the entrance of a KING and thus called the “Triumphal Entry.” The Bible does not say where he entered, but people like him like to use their “expertise” to make bad conclusions

By the way last weekend two  men accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.

BOOK Ends – Thoughts on Cosmic Crossroad Countdown.

In math we know a negative + negative = a positive.  So how does a double negative become positive in real life?  God is the master of surprise and surprised the world with a series of these.   Jesus Christ became a captive to set the captives free, He became sin to destroy sin, He died for us to defeat death.   This is the power behind the bronze serpent in the wilderness that healed all those who looked on it. Jesus became sin for us so that we might be set free from sin – a parallel of the healing that came to those who looked upon the serpent on the pole.  Read about the Wilderness experience in Cosmic Crossroad Countdown
 
The Burning Bush in the Wilderness was an eternal fire, and so was the torch fire  at the Abrahamic Covenant,  the fire beaming from the eyes of God and the fire of the Shekinah Glory which followed the Israelites.  Fire would normally consume organic matter, but instead this fire not only brings light but also carries a supernatural message.  In essence this type of event goes against the natural order and would involve a visible infinity.  If you saw an angel, for instance, this would be looking into infinity.  Abraham was asleep when the torch passed between the sacrificed animals.  Moses, however, was awake and saw “God” in the fire.   I would conclude that the fire denotes eternal time, matter, power (energy) & revelation – Awesome Truth laden with Love and Grace -in other Words the “I AM”.   This would involve, the Present, the Future, and the Past, for God is not affected by Time.  We are given a portion of this Holy fire when the fire of the Holy Spirit is sealed in us.  This is the eternal seal that guarantees our salvation.  He is God’s Spirit, an eternal fire within us – a source of the divine Light revealing Truth in the Word of God and elsewhere.  We, however, are not greater than the angels until we are “resurrected” into the presence of God.  At the point we also become eternal beings, greater than the angels, but not “mini-god-spirits” like the Mormons believe.

Paul the Apostle who had a first-hand experience of the “Light” of Jesus Christ writes that as children of light “we should have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness” (Ephesians 5:11-12), taking the responsibility to reprove them and expose the lies. This includes the lies of evolution which deny the Power and Glory of God Almighty who defeated the Sin of Adam and the Fall of Man, on the Cross.  The Light exposes that which is reproved by God, enabling us to “walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise” (Ephesians 5:15). That wisdom is not the foolish wisdom of this world (1 Corinthians 1:20) but the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 2:7), “that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God,” understanding what the will of the Lord is.   Through his death and resurrection, Jesus who is, “God with Us (Emmanuelle),” has made His Kingdom available to everyone for free, and has manifested the Truth in His Word and Answered Prophecy.  The kingdom treasures are manifested in both the Old and New Testaments, but the “new wine” of Grace sets us free from the curse of the Law.  This Gift of Hope, Love, and Peace, the “kingdom life”, pulses through our heart and every fiber of our body and Spirit, as we wait for his return.  Jesus said, “Behold, I am with you always, to the end of the Age,” Matt. 28:20.

In the book of Romans God  forewarns us of a new kind of flood in the future. In the book of Daniel, God speaks of the widespread expansion of information and a population on the move. This information deluge will overwhelm people with useless and distracting data that will draw the generations further and further away from the Word of God and from a relationship with Him. This deluge of information will also allow enemy sources to penetrate and disable our personal and national intelligence data banks and hardware that are keys to world survival, but not our eternal security.
This rapid rise in knowledge will  lead to increased perversion, and greater threats to God’s city, Jerusalem, and to His promised Israel.  Instead of repenting those who wish to attack the traditional family will and have joined up with the witches, the cults, the abortionist, the criminals (illegal aliens, felons, and radical Islam), and even those who are pushing for legalized marijuana.  They do not realize that they are playing with a Hellish fire that will consume them.  “Just as they did not seem fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them up to a depraved mind, to do things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil……..” “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator….”
As explained in earlier posts and in COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN, the “Great Sign” of Revelation 12 is an invisible sign for a skeptical world.  Unlike the Star of Bethlehem, which was visible to those with “eyes” to see, and the many visible appearances that the Lord made in  the Old Testament as a “Theophany”, God is not going to make an appearance until His Second Coming – at least the Bible does not forewarn us of any!  Near the End of Time, He will appear in the clouds to receive the church, and again on the Mount of Olives to face the world’s forces.  One of the first signs of His 2nd Coming will actually come from the Anti-Christ and his covenant with Israel.  It is important to note that this “Great Sign” was greatly promoted in the news by fake prophets as being a sign of a coming collision with a Planet-X.  Satan loves to distract us from God’s Truth and from the meaning of His Sign.  The minute the sun rose, the stars and planets and moon became invisible to our eyes.  What else is invisible, yet great?  Yes, God and all the angels are invisible yet great, and as real as the ground you stand on. Hence the this sign points to the supernatural or that which is real, yet cannot be seen.  We know the Great Sign was real because our astronomers and star-maps told us so.  And God knew that we would have this knowledge.  Read the book for to learn why this was a very, very unusual sign, and remember that the “child” is the church & not Jesus.  Then read about the dragon in Rev. 12, that wants to devour the child.  Also read about Satan in the next paragraph, and check out the statement below:
I believe that time is short, as discussed in the book.  God seems to be shaking up the world to the point that those who have gained power and prestige through lies, ill gain, and selfish determination are taking a fall from grace. The celebrities and politicians, like Congressman John Conyers and ABC’s Matt Lauer, who have used and abused their power are now being exposed and shamed by their own kind, the liberal media. It reminds me of how Gideon defeated the Midianite army and coalition of forces. There was fire-balls thrown into the darkness which confused the enemy and caused them to destroy each other. God will find divine ways to teach the power hungry a big lesson. The Light of Truth and the Fire of the Holy Spirit will confuse, and destroy darkness. Jesus says to us, “I am the Light of the Word, follow me and you will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of Life.”  We are seeing the “reversal of fortunes” or “surprise returns” in relation to the Jubilee year, as described in my book.  However, I had thought that this would also be reflected in the economy. Instead we are seeing this happen in a personal way to a person’s fortune, reputation, and self-esteem. God has orchestrated this fall for their sake so that in their loss and fall they will return to Him in repentance. This reversal of fortune or fall from grace is a shadow or reflection of Satan’s fall from heaven described in Revelation 12.

Why is the number 12 or Revelation 12 important?  Twelve is the number of Perfection & Authority – but also of “Time” set by God in the natural world of the moon, sun, stars, & constellations, (12 months, 12 Constellation Signs, and two sets of 12 hours). Twelve is also an interesting number combination of the perfect unit 2 found in all of creation and the number 10 of purification. The number “two” defines a dynamic coexistence of opposites or contrasts that balance forces, entities, divinity, space, and matter. All of creation is a balance of 2’s. Two can be looked at as a unit such as male and female, or the Hypostatic union of God and man, or light and darkness.

God in fact designed His Creation to witness both Good and evil. Thus, the number 12 could be looked at as a universal number for order in God’s Divine Plan for creation in both space and time!  The number 2 also represents God’s power manifested on earth.  We see 2 witnesses, the power of praying “where 2 are gathered”, the disciples going out 2 by 2, and many metaphors such as the two “olive trees” and “two lampstands” in Zechariah.   Two is also a sign of balance and stability.  It provides equal force and function to our body and those of other creatures.  The animals entered the ark two by two and God provides us two choices: to be with Him or separated from Him for eternity.  God is pointing to Revelation 12 for a reason-  a message from the “heavens” to forewarn us about supernatural events about to happen.  Everything is moving a lot faster and with more intensity including all the dark forces and principalities of evil.  This speeding up was forewarned by Daniel who was given the most important prophecy of all time:  The 70 Weeks Prophecy of the End of the Age.   Every aspect of life seems to be “accelerating and changing” so dramatically that many people in many nations fear that the world is hurtling toward doom.  America is no long the beacon of light reflected in the Statue of Liberty and the American Constitution.

There is an Approaching Darkness.   When Jesus was on the cross there was a darkness for 3 hours that terrified even the soldiers.  This was neither an eclipse nor a cloud.  This was a supernatural darkness that also resulted in an earthquake, the cracking of rocks (which must have made some horrendous noise), and the tearing of the 4-inch thick curtain  at the Holy of Hollies from top to bottom (hence God tearing it).  The thick darkness that fell over Egypt as the ninth plague covered the earth for 3 days.  I believe that this is not a coincidence.  In my book I compare the period of 70 days from the  “budding of the fig tree” to the time of “fruit bearing” as a parallel to the 70-year Prophetic Generation spoken by Jesus at the Olivet discourse.  It is fitting that the Shadow of death striking the first-born of Egypt came right after the 3 days of Darkness.  Likewise the death of the Savior came right after the 3 hours of darkness.   The Israelites were then delivered by God, just as God would deliver mankind through the resurrection.  The 70 days of germination of the fig floret results in the bearing of fruit and is a direct parallel to the 70 years since the “budding” of Israel.  The end of the 70-year Prophetic Generation will result in New Beginnings and new life in Christ.  There will be both a judgment and a deliverance.  Those who seek God will find Him and those who reject him will turn further and further away from truth and righteousness.

Turkey is turning more and more into the Gog of the Bible.  They have imprisoned Pastor Brunson on trumped up charges using hidden witnesses and mock trials.  They have in essence admitted that they are doing this in retribution for our failure to turn over certain American citizens for trial in their country. There is good evidence that Turkey is the “seat of Satan” as described in Revelation, concerning the church of Pergamum.  Satan would feel at home in a city with 4 Temples to the Emperors of Rome, a Temple to Artimus, and a huge Temple to Zeus.  Snakes would be used for healing; there were rooms where one would sleep with snakes in the hope that the serpents would crawl over them and give them good dreams, and healing. The Christian theologian and leader Antipas was burned alive and killed at the altar to Zeus.  This “throne of Satan” was later moved to Berlin and reconstructed by 1930, just in time for Adolph Hitler.  This throne and altar inspired Hitler’s torch parades and “Cathedral of Light” created by dozens of spotlights pointing to heaven.  Hitler employed “Hollywood Stars” to add to this German mystique.  Soon he formed the Nuremberg Laws which removed citizenship from the Jews setting them up for the “final solution,” the Holocaust.  Was this another “burnt offering” to Satan, just as Antipas was thousands of years earlier?

We may see Turkey making more alliances with nations like Russia and Iran in the near future, as it contends with both Israel and America.  Recently Erdogan, the self proclaimed dictator of Turkey, told America and Israel that moving the embassy to Jerusalem “was their red line.”  Iran has already told us that rescinding the Iran agreement established by Obama, would be crossing a red line, with severe consequences.  Here in May we also have the potential conference between Kim of North Korea and Trump.  Is this another trap or smokescreen from North Korea for a surprise attack on the South or on us?   We are entering a very precarious period with ominous signs.  Some of those signs are of natural order such as the 3 surprise eruptions of a normally “dormant” Steamboat geyser in Yellowstone (which produces a geyser 10X the volume of Old Faithful) and the fierce eruption of the volcano on the large island in Hawaii.  This is a volcanic island like many in the Pacific that are now very active.  There are earthquakes happening all around the ring of fire surrounding the entire Pacific ocean.  Does all this portend of a massive earthquake in California?

 

 

Celebrating Life & His Resurrection – Message to the Jew, the Lost & the Saved.

The Bible says Rejoice -  Stand firm – Resist the Devil – He (God) who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.  We are more than conquerors according to the Power of the Holy Spirit sealed within the new believer.  We are forgiven according to the Power of the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross.  We are sealed in His Promise because of faith in Him – in things not seen, the substance of things hoped for. Faith is like a tiny seed that must first die to live, but then will grow into a great and wonderful tree of life.  Our Faith in Jesus Christ sets us free forever, transforming our lives and bringing peace beyond understanding.

WHAT I LEARNED ON a recent trip to MALTA :  1) Having a “HIGH” education and intellect does not insure a mind of logic and truth.  Found this out today during our tour, from a well-dressed young lady who hit a car as she was pulling out from her parked spot.  Since she did not see the car which came in from around a corner, she felt it was not her fault and would not give the man insurance information.   And because we are in Malta and the police are hard to be found we had to wait over 30 minutes in the bus on a very narrow, ancient city street.  Our great achievements in science, engineering, & transportation were not going to make a difference.  We were trapped by history & human frailty and pure stubborness.

2) When Bad things happen do not despair, God can use the ugly, the bad, and the mistake to make something very good!  Only He can make a curse into a blessing. I had planned this Malta trip months ago with Angie and she broke her hip a month or so later, and therefore,  I thought the trip would be  hampered in a major way.   As it turns out, someone in a wheel chair gets through the security and boarding lines 10 times faster especially in the mass of humanity in Turkey and other places we flew (7 different planes)!

3)  Miracles are real!  Paul was bit by a viper and the people of Malta wanted to make him God when they saw that it did not affect him.  He refused their offer and pointed to the Truth of the Gospel then proceeded to heal the sick for 3 months .  During WWII an enemy bomber dropped a 500 lb. bomb onto the dome of the Mostra Cathedral.   The church was full of people trying to escape the bombing.  The bomb penetrated the heavy dome and hit the floor below skidding across the sanctuary towards the entrance.  It did not explode nor did it injure anyone!  Just one more “healing” – “salvation” miracle!

4) God blessed us by keeping the rain away reminding us how water and wind became the means through which the Apostle Paul a prisoner onboard a Roman supply vessel became shipwrecked off the Bay where we were staying.  Paul ended up staying on the island for 3 months during which time he miraculously healed many sick people. Eventually he was transported to Rome where he later was executed.  That island became a beacon of Christianity and the “Hospital” island of the Mediterranean.  The Knights of St. John who defeated the Ottoman invasion were most known for their skills in not only building hospitals but also in treating patients with methods they developed.  They were not crusaders, yet many died defending the Bible and the island  – they were Men from 8 nations- hence the eight points on the Maltese cross. They were called Knight Hospitaliers.

5) When returning to the US, we missed the Winter Bomb of early March in the North East by arriving a couple of days after the first one hit, and left a day before the next storm came in.  We were able to transfer to Washington DC to visit the White House and the Museum of the Bible:  “Washington Revelations” takes you by “jet drone” to all the Biblical quotes on Federal buildings, statues, and other museums. There is a special area on the writing of “Amazing Grace” and one on Sciences – Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, George Washington Carver, and Newton.  There is also a great presentation on the 1st revival in America led by Whitfield, Nazareth at the time of Jesus, the writing of the Bible and all the martyrs and efforts to preserve the Word of God.  We learned how valuable the Word is to tribes worldwide – there are over 500 translations into various tribal languages.  One section was devoted to a new city found in Israel that many believe is the “city of 2 gates” where the Philistines fled after David killed Goliath.  Another one on how Christianity and the Bible has affected the American Culture- allowing one to listen to dozens of songs by different musicians and singers.

On the trip I had the opportunity to finish reading The Paradigm and had time to reflect on its import.  In my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN,  I also discuss a “paradigm” one that connects the 1st century 70- year prophetic period of Christ’s birth to the 70-year Prophetic Generation of the birth of Israel. Both have a 20 year “maturation” period, then a 50-year period of global spread and importance.  As the church spread, its leaders were attacked then in 67 AD Peter and Paul were executed.  Likewise, Israel has had attacks from all its neighbors.  The threat to the cross, church and Israel continue to this day.  These parallels in history are no coincidence. 

In this letter I want to remind the reader of the most important day in the History of the World.  Out of nowhere a man like no other man threw the powers of the world on its heels.  Even though the prophets had forewarned of this moment, few recognized the Truth in front of them.  In many ways it was like the Days of Noah –for which the world did not listen and was judged by water (here we have the water motif again). John the Baptist came to baptize the sinner with water and Jesus came to baptize them by the fire of the Holy Spirit.

When He rose from the dead, he preached for 40 days then Ascended into Heaven.  Ten days later the Holy Spirit came in fire upon those gathered at Shavout or what we call Pentecost.  This year’s Resurrection Celebration comes on April 1 which is April Fool’s day for the first time in many decades.  It is fitting for this is the Day that Satan was fooled into thinking that he would defeat God and win dominion over mankind.  Those who submit to the Lies of the World, choosing self & denying the person of God are also fools.  Many try to use God through legalism and misuse of the Word to accomplish their own purpose.  Jesus could have been King and Priest of a Great Kingdom at Satan’s bequest, but He chose to die a cruel death on the cross in order to be our Savior.  He defeated Satan, death, and sin offering us the Gift of Eternal Life.

To the World and to the Jew, God asks why do you think that you have earned your Salvation? I am not your King. I AM the Lamb Of God who paid the Price for your sins. I AM the Gift of Salvation offered to those who believe in me. I AM, Jesus Christ, your Redeemer the Holy One of Israel, who cleanses one of sin. I AM the only Salvation from SIN. By my scourging you are healed; not by might nor by power but by my Spirit.

The Jews did not look for a Savior. They wanted A King to give them what they deserved…and in a perverted way this is what anyone who does not know God seeks. One feels deserving of vindication and honor by whatever works they have done. To Jews, Israel is the suffering servant., yet in the scripture it is obvious that Isaiah is NOT speaking of a nation but of a redeemer. Isaiah 53 is the guilty conscious of the Jews. Israel is not a righteous sinless people suffering for the world. This can only be the person of Jesus Christ. Israel has no need for a sacrifice nor a mediator- all they want is a King to rescue them from suffering. They expect exaltation for their goodness. So ask a Jew if he or she needs a Savior? A sinner, and the most “righteous” person, can only be right with God, if his or her sins are completely paid for vicariously by a slain Savior, the Blood of the Lamb.  This is a picture of the sacrificial system that God set up in the Temple for Israel.  God provided that sacrificial template to prepare them for the Messiah that would save them!

Our Savior died for sin and rose from the dead conquering death and sin. He is not a worldly king, but He is King of Kings, Lord of Lords. He is Jesus Christ, the Risen Savior.    Our Servant King, Jesus Christ bore our iniquities and Paid the ultimate price for our sins. He is our chosen One in which our soul rejoices. He alone is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.

 

The Paradigm and COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

On page 67 of my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN,  I discuss a very interesting “parallel in time” related to two 70-year Prophetic Generations each consisting of a 50-year Jubilee, and a 20-year “maturing” period. The birth of Jesus Christ in 2 BC (read my blog post showing why this date of birth is the correct one), and the birth of Israel in 1947-48 begin this mirror image parallel.  The parallel is broken up into a 20-year period and a 50-year one.  The date 1967 when Israel fought the miraculous 6-Day war after maturing into a capable fighting force with a solid economy runs parallel to 17 AD when the Son of God, Jesus Christ became of age 20 which was the tradition age in Israel to serve and give offerings.  Both introduce the next stage of maturation, where they impact the world with their shared power and aid.   Jesus will heal the multitudes through miracles while Israel will heal countless people through their advanced medical research and production.  They will also give all kinds of international aid (including high tech irrigation techniques and earthquake recovery). Jesus will transform the world with the New Covenant of Grace while Israel and the Messianic Church will transform the world through peaceful missions, life changing ministries, and Nobel winning discoveries in every profession including medicine, economics, and physics.

Add 50 years or one Jubilee to make our time of 2017-18 AD, we have seen the death of Billy Graham which runs parallel to 67-68 AD and the death of both Paul and Peter.  Their death left the church without the most influential leaders.  Right before their death something else of great significance happened: the “abomination of the Temple” or the date when the Romans brought their banners and standards of Caesar Titus into the Temple sanctuary.  In parallel, today’s church has in the last couple of years taken a big fall into Apostasy.  Barna Research has shown that only 28% of pastors had a Biblical World view.  The rest compromised their trust in the Word of God by not believing that the Word of God is reliable enough to be called inerrant and non-contradictory!  Check out the chart on page 67 of the book.

Both 70-year periods introduce a new paradigm in history.  After 67-68 AD the church would continue to grow outward away from Jerusalem and Judea, and persecution would continue until the Christian revival under Emperor Constantine. Both Christians and Jews would be dispersed throughout the Empire and beyond.  We still do not completely know what transformations will happen after our 2017-18 period, but there are many “new beginnings” occurring as the church is starting to make a comeback in national affairs and influence.  In contrast many prideful leaders have risen to new heights, then fallen completely from national grace.  This includes Congressman Conyers, Hillary Clinton, Judge Moore, and many “stars” in Hollywood and the media. There is much more explained in other posts on the blog, ToGodBtheGlory.org and in my book.  This birth, maturation and transformation parallel has similarities to the one explained in the book, Paradigm, by Jonathan Cahn.  The parallels between Ahab, Jezebel, Joram, and Jehu with Bill and Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Trump is startling.  There are many details in these unique paradigms discussed in his book and mine that will shake you up and help you to realize that God is in complete control of historical events and the affairs of man.  Read more in the next post on the Resurrection.

Traitor in our Midst

I woke up in the middle of the night with this thought.  Who can we trust?  Who is being protected and lies in wait?  If we cannot deal with the enemies we see, how can we deal with the enemies that either we do not know or that are hidden in plain sight?  God knows the answer, so how do we prepare?

How many times are you lied to daily?  How many times do you lie either intentionally or “non-intentionally”? There is another essential question for each of us to ask ourselves, “Is it OK to lie for the sake of others?”  Yet, we know that a lie is a lie! In God’s eye we have lied, period.  If we listen only enough to gain power or position then we are lying.  To claim that we did not hear something in order to claim innocence is a lie, and so is the converse.  It takes a strong mind and heart centered on God not to lie, nor to lie to oneself.  Maybe, God will help us if we are willing to expose the lie in us, so that we can have an intimate relationship with the Truth?  If we allow God to renew our minds and give us a right Spirit, then maybe we can then discern the Truth and expose the Lie allowing others also to gain from our knowledge and experience.

God showed up again at our White Rock Lake ministry this last Sunday.  Even though the weather appeared stormy and the wind was blowing, we felt the call of God to share the Gospel and give away free books and lemonade off the bike trail.  Unlike most Sundays, however, there were few people out and about.  Then something interesting happened, we had a series of individuals stop by that I believe represent an interesting pattern.  1) At two different times young Catholic men came over to check out the books.  I was able to share in depth with the one who spoke English concerning having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the fact that parents, works, and the Pope will not save anyone.  He was very appreciative of the theological discussion and a new Bible that we gave him.

2)  A couple of “communist” Chinese students stopped on their bikes, and while one went to the port-o-potty the other came over at my invite.  She was curious, yet reluctant to talk about God or faith, so I asked her what part of China was she from.  She said South China and I replied that my grandparents were missionaries in Canton (southern China) for 25 years.  “That is where I am from”, she retorted. At that point the other girl came over and saw the book that the first girl had rejected.  The book was about a popular Chinese pastor who formed a ministry and underground church in China.  As she grabbed the book, it opened up to a middle page that just happened to have an inscription in Chinese that she recognized as the name of the town that she was from.  “This is a picture of my neighborhood,” she exclaimed!  We shared the faith with them and they left- returning a few minutes later to grab one more book, a Bible!  Note that rarely, do the Chinese students  talk to us.

3)  A rough looking older man with a loud mouth and aggressive nature came over to us and said that he was a Christian, but that most christians  are not real christians since then accept “the Jew”.  He retorted that all Jews should be killed and so I asked him if Jesus was a Jew.  “No”, he said, “Jesus is of the Spirit.”  So then I asked him if “Mary” was a Jew and again he said, “NO”.  He grew louder and louder with his arms flailing and face scowling.  I felt brave and emboldened and so told him that he was very wrong and that God would “Judge him harshly for his attitude and belief”.  He walked away still yelling.  Note that I did not say, “Fine you are entitled to your own beliefs.”  God has called us to be both Light and Salt, and not to be ashamed of the Gospel of Salvation

4)  A Jehovah Witness girl dropped by to look at the books.  She listened as I shared with her about the 144,000 in the book of Revelation and that they were all Jews from the 12 tribes and not Gentile Christians. I talked with her for about 30 minutes. She listened intently and left with one of our Christian books on faith.  Even though we rarely have a JW stop to talk to us, she also seemed excited and thanked us.

5)   Then I had the opportunity to talk to a young man who came from Hindu Nepalese background and had had someone years earlier pray over him to receive Christ.  I told them if he was not being true to his heart, the confession would not be valid.  He asked why the Christian God should be accepted as the true God?  I shared with him that God became a man so that He could share His nature and character with us, as a loving God who was willing to sacrifice his only begotten Son for our sin, and all we have to do is have faith to accept that gift of sacrifice.  He said that anyone can die and that all religions have a God with special traits and then finished with, “What makes a Christian so special?” I shared that the true nature of God is one of love and justice and not to kill indiscriminately as we see happening in many religions.  I said, “do you not know that many Christians have died for their faith refusing to recant their faith despite the threat of death.”  He hesitated and said “Yes, but what makes your faith better?”  So I asked him to go back in time and study the Babylonians who ruled the world, even defeating the Jewish nation.  Surely their faith would be special since many modern religions are connected to this early Babylonian model.  “Note,” I said, “they killed the Israeli kings and took their youth and the talented as captives.”  “One of those was Daniel, and the book of Daniel is one of the books preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls and so has been proven to be authentic and accurate.” “If you study the book of Daniel you will understand how God works in the lives of those He trusts to carry His message forward to us.”  “Babylon accepted Daniel’s God as their own.”  He was excited and asked me to write down that name and rushed away on his bike.

6) While I was talking to him a guy came up who we know as a Hindu philosopher and who likes to promote a False christian Narrative which is basically Satanic.  It was an Interference which we did not allow to deter us.  He was loud and getting louder as I was sharing with that the young man. So after the young man left,  I went over to him and interrupted his argument with my ministry partner, Angie.  “You have tried to interfere with the work of the Holy Spirit as I shared with the young man, and God wants you to know that He will not forgive the one that forsakes the Holy Spirit”.  He got really agitated and started flailing his arms and contorting his face then left.   

7)  Then an ex combat soldier, by the name of Lonny, came up and asked me about what it means to be a Christian. He told me that he was a Christian but that he did not go to church.  So I asked what the two main Sacraments of the Christian Faith are.  He said that he did not know so I told him that they were Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and that both required that a person be a member of a group of believers or church.  He showed me his chest full of battle wounds and knelt down next to me to find out more about the Word.  That led to a very deep and rewarding discussion and his desire to contact us and buy my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN.  

We saw many others, but only for a few minutes at a time sharing books with them and giving away the free lemonade.

The opposition was obvious and the Spiritual battle was clear.  There were dark forces determined to stop our effort to share the Gospel and lead the lost to Christ.  Both of the aggressors for Satan claimed to be “Christians,” yet were obviously “traitors to the faith,” followers of a false Christ, and opponents of the  work of the Holy Spirit.  One was blatantly Anti-Jew and the other was New Age and demanding an all inclusive Christianity not dependent on the Words of our Lord Jesus Christ who said, “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father except through me.”

The others covered a broad spectrum of modern day society:  1) a cult member 2) A Christian who does not attend church  3) Two girls raised as atheists  4) two men raised as Catholics  5) a Nepalese Buddhist who had Christians pray with him for Salvation, yet he did not change nor grow in Christ.  He was trusting in many gods, and thus could be considered a New Age adherent.  5) and the tough soldier as a Christian did not attend any church.  In this case I do believe that his faith was sincere, but stunted due to trauma, or his lack of social skills and willingness to have Christian fellowship.

 

 

 

Alert ! Be Forewarned ! The Supernatural is Advancing & A Traitor Awaits!

Alert ! Be Forewarned ! The Supernatural is Advancing ! A Traitor Awaits!

As explained in earlier posts, the Great Sign of Revelation 12 is an invisible sign for a skeptical world. Unlike the Star of Bethlehem, which was visible to those with “eyes” to see, and the many visible appearances that Jesus Christ made in  the Old Testament as a “Theophany”, God is not going to make an appearance until His Second Coming – at least the Bible does not forewarn us of any!  Near the End of Time, He will appear in the clouds to receive the church, and again on the Mount of Olives to face the world’s forces.  One of the first signs of His 2nd Coming will actually come from the Anti-Christ and his covenant with Israel.

In the Days of the Patriarchs- of Adam, Noah, Abraham, and Moses- Jesus Christ  appeared to man and spoke to him (Theologians call these divine conversations: Theophany or a Christophany). Through these loving interactions, He defended and guided them and taught us the danger of unbelief, and the blessings of faith and obedience. Now that most of the world has ignored His Word and has turned completely away from Him, He forewarns us in this Great Sign of Revelation 12 that the supernatural world is advancing and we will face the consequences.

Jesus forewarned us at the Mount of Olives discourse in chapter 24 of Matthew that in the end-times there will be “blood, fire, and smoke” and we have seen this in the irrational record mass murders in Las Vegas and now in Parkland, Florida! He warned us of “wars and rumors of wars” and we have seen more threats now than ever in history.  Kim of Korea has swung countless threats at America, South Korea, and Japan.   Assad in Syria has threatened Israel with all forms of retaliation, and so has Iran which has been making extreme threats for years.  Hamas and Abbas are using a variety of terrorist tactics against Israel, and Hezbollah now has 150,000 accurate short and long range missiles.  Russia has threatened our elections and has sent mercenaries in disguise against our troops.  Turkey has threatened to destroy our allies the Kurds and is now bombing into oblivion a city full of innocent civilians. They are building a large German designed tank factory and have hired China to modernize their communication systems.  Turkey will soon have cash free system thanks to the Chinese.   China is threatening the Philippines and other nations in the South China Sea by the super militarization of islands far from their territorial waters. China has also entrenched itself near the Suez canal and the Panama Canal so as to control strategic crossing points on the globe.  ISIS and Al-Qida  still threaten the world with high tech bombs and terrorism.

God also forewarns us of a new kind of flood for the future.  Through the book of Daniel, God speaks of the widespread expansion of information.  This information deluge will overwhelm people with useless and distracting data that will draw the generations further and further away from the Word of God and from a relationship with Him.  I discuss issues like this in my Book; COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation. The book is in its 2nd printing and is now available at Amazon.com.  This deluge of information also relates to intelligence data that overwhelms our ability to protect ourselves.

As far as smoke and fire, this may also relate to dozens of active volcanoes throughout the world, 3 of which are active in Indonesia.  We may have another very active fire season this coming summer with drought already a threat due to very light snowfalls.

Revelation 12:1, says, “A GREAT SIGN APPEARED IN THE HEAVENS, A WOMAN CLOTHED WITH THE SUN, WITH THE MOON AT HER FEET, AND A GARLAND OF TWELVE STARS.”   This Sign was NEVER intended to be seen!  Once the sun comes up over the horizon (sunrise) all these stars fade along with the moon and planets!  So why does God call it a “GREAT SIGN”?

The Point is God wants us to realize that the Great SIGN was there, but was NOT visible!  He knew that we would have astronomers that would map this celestial SIGN and the media methods to spread the information throughout the world so that everyone would know that it WAS THERE, even though it would be  “invisible”. In fact many false prophets sensationalized this event by saying a Planet X or giant asteroid would collide with the earth on that day. Unfortunately because of this many people ignored the message and were unable to see the truth in this Great Sign.  So what exists, and yet is invisible?  What can we be CERTAIN OF, yet not see?  What is the substance of things hoped for?  FAITH in the invisible REAL GOD is the answer and YES, He is making sure that we realize that He is actively moving to bring HIS PROMISE to fruition.

He is in the process of advancing His Kingdom, fulfilling His Promises, and destroying Satan and those who follow him.  He will make this known to us in visible ways through nature and the actions of humans.  If you read the next paragraph you will see the spiritual battle between God’s angels and Satan and his angel’s.  Implied in this passage is a chronological series of events leading to Satan being cast from heaven, which suggests that Satan was not cast down permanently at an earlier time.  In Genesis, Satan may have been waiting in a “natural state” in the form of a serpent to deceive God’s “perfect” creation.   He wanted to destroy out of jealousy, the perfect Garden and the Man-creature made in God’s image.  Later when Jesus says he saw Satan cast down, it may refer to a future event since God is omniscient.

The point that needs to be accented is the increased intensity of the spiritual battle ahead of us.  Just as the “Great Sign” was distorted by false prophets so will all the other signs and warnings that God will give us.  The false prophets said that Planet X would destroy the earth on September 23rd and Satan used them to make the “sign” seem absurd or inconsequential.  The actions and words of God’s messengers will be distorted by dark forces and the principalities of evil will do everything to distract and deceive us with lies.  We are seeing this happen right before our eyes.  To the world it may seem silly, but there is a sequence of signs that point to something of supernatural consequence leading to the natural.

God wants those who have been deceived to let go of everything you know so that you can know the truth.  Explore life in a prism of divine truth – as if going blind so that you can see: Jesus and Isaiah warned “you see but do not see, you hear but do not hear.” I explain some of this in my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN. Are you ready to take the journey into a deeper reality about life itself? Our world is so full of lies that indeed a child knows truth better than many a “genius”.

Exciting New News Connecting the Book

As stated in the Testimony part of my Book, Jerusalem is the centerpiece of God’s Geographical Prophecy and Promise.  On Dec. 6, 2017,  Trump announced the plan to move our American Embassy to Jerusalem.  He is the first world leader to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the nation of Israel!  All this happened in 2017, which is significant considering the meaning of that year in relation to other historical events and generations.  All this is discussed extensively in the book: COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.

Jerusalem is mentioned over 300 times in the Bible.  It is mentioned 142 times in  the New Testament and 660 times in the Old.  Note that Jerusalem is also called Zion, Salem, The City of David, and Ariel.  Of those 800 Biblical references, 489 are connected to prophecies given by God that are not yet fulfilled!  Jerusalem is the “Forever” capital of Israel and the location of God’s future throne.

Another Testimony was that of Nathan the Jewish boy when went to heaven for 15 minutes and completely baffled the rabbi.  Even though he had no formal training in the Torah, he revealed truth that so caught the rabbi’s attention that he filmed the interview even though the parents had protested.   The young Jewish teenager had this vision on a very significant day!  He saw Jesus Christ in his vision on the very day that the 4th blood moon over Jerusalem occurred.

In the Testimony of history and current events we are seeing the war in Syria pit our planes and soldiers  against Russian mercenaries (contract soldiers is what the media is now calling them), and just this week Israel and an Iranian stealth drone.  Israel has forewarned Iran that next time there will be dire consequences.  Last month we saw Turkish tanks, soldiers, and planes combat the American allied Kurdish forces in Northern Syria.  Some believe that once ISIS is destroyed completely, Erdogan will announce a new Caliphate that will protect the whole region from rogue enemies such as ISIS. He is building a large German designed Tank factory and a new naval base on the island of Suakin (which was its fortress during the Ottoman Empire). Erdogan has also decided on an advanced Russian Anti-missile system over a NATO system- which will cause severe friction with NATO and the US. All this has the making of a new Mid-East war.  Ironically Egypt has been buying arms from North Korea which is just another East meets West conspiracy.  The biggest threat however is between Iran & North Korea and the potential for a large 2 front war of a nuclear level against both Israel and the United States.

The Ottoman Empire lasted for 400 years after conquering Christiandom in Jerusalem, and in the last 70 years we have seen Israel rise up as the new power in the region. Now 100 years since Jerusalem was liberated by the British, will a new Turkish Empire allied with Russia and Iran rise up against Israel to regain Jerusalem? Is this Empire the Gog or Magog?

 

 

 

The Back Windows of Truth – from the Cosmic Crossroad Countdown

Page 77:  Peter the Apostle warns us to, “Rid yourselves of all wickedness, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.” And he continues, “the stone that the builders rejected – this One has become the cornerstone.” And then he warns,  “I urge you as aliens and temporary residents to abstain from fleshy desires that war against you.” Then after much sharing concludes, “Be sober! Be on the alert! Your adversary the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for anyone he can devour. Resist him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being experienced by your brothers in the world,” I Peter 2:1-5:9.  Slander is much worse than people realize for it results in damage to all involved. Those who listen to slander need to beware for not only will it detour you, but if you pass it on, you will be just as guilty.  Slander relates to what was said earlier about reconciliation and remorse during the 10 Days of Awe.  By tradition the Jews thought that God was keeping a set of books on everyone and would judge them accordingly.  This is supported by what Jesus Christ said, “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment,” Matt. 12:36.

We all remember as children what happened to Samson, who squandered God’s blessings to feed his desire. He lost the very eyes that led him to sin. our country cannot afford to be led away by lust and greed and the resulting perversion and loss of innocence. one result of this run-away lust is the high abortion rate and a resulting mental and spiritual illness in our nation.

Page 72:  We seem to be at a very important “Cosmic Crossroad” in time, both astronomical and historical – linking God’s time to man’s time and joining Judaic prophetic signs to Gentile Signs of the end Time. This is all part of His order and plan. Just as God used the stars to point to His 1st coming, does it not make sense that He will again use the stars and constellations to point to His 2nd Coming! Twelve is the number of Perfection & Authority – but also of “Time” set by God in the natural world of the moon, sun, stars, & constellations, (12 months, 12 Constellation Signs, and two sets of 12 hours). Twelve is also an interesting number combination of the perfect unit 2 found in all of creation and the number 10 of purification. The number “two” defines a dynamic coexistence of opposites or contrasts that balance forces, entities, divinity, space, and matter. All of creation is a balance of 2’s. Two can be looked at as a unit such as male and female, or the Hypostatic union of God and man, or light and darkness.

God in fact designed His Creation to witness both Good and evil. Thus, the number 12 could be looked at as a universal number for order in God’s Divine Plan for creation in both space and time!  The number 2 also represents God’s power manifested on earth.  We see 2 witnesses, the power of praying “where 2 are gathered”, the disciples going out 2 by 2, and many metaphors such as the two “olive trees” and “two lampstands” in Zechariah.   Two is also a sign of balance and stability.  It provides equal force and function to our body and those of other creatures.  The animals entered the ark two by two and God provides us two choices: to be with Him or separated from Him for eternity.

Page 78:  Peter’s generation saw the first coming of the Lord and witnessed intense persecution. In comparison, we have witnessed “evil empires” and defeated them, and in this country, we have seen very little persecution. Are we “on guard”, as Peter states, or are we allowing the enemy in? The result of our recent election shows the deep divide within the ethos and convictions of our society. The fabric appears torn by hatred, revenge, and a rebellious anger. Some are raising the flag and others are stomping on it. Some are lifting hands to God and others are flaunting a tirade of anti-authority demands and behavior. The traditional fabric is being trampled on and set on fire! Yet, God is with us and our country continues to seek the high ground. We can learn from history, from other generations, and from the words of God, or we can go our own way and lose our way. That is one reason why we need to continue to look at Prophecy and Promise, and realize that this confusion may be God’s plan.  God may be orchestrating all this bizarre behavior to open the door to the Anti-Christ. The stage is being set and the Last Generation needs to turn the lights on!

Page 81:    Here is recap of the top 3 major Biblical generations and the 3 dates that fulfill prophecy for the nation of Israel: Using the birth day of the nation of Israel in 1947-48, the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967, and the issuing of the Balfour Declaration in 1917, we notice that the 50 for Jubilee equals “Release or Return”, the 70 equals “Prophecy Complete”, and the 100 equals “Time extended” for testing. All will end at approximately the same time in 2017-18. Behind these generational periods are the other supporting periods such as the 400, 500 and even the 1000-year Jubilee periods.

We will see how the 40-year generation period spiritually intersects with multiple 400-year periods and other wilderness times of purification. God penalized the nation of Israel a total of 40 years, or one year for each day that the spies lacked faith in their 40-day period spying out of the “enemy” land! This was a unique period for Israel We will soon see in Chapter 6, how this time of purification also links to the “Cross in the Wilderness” and to us.

Page 87:  Our liberal Media used to present truth to the world, but now it is under a grand delusion! It acts as both judge and jury determining what is right and wrong in our nation – making evil good and good evil! These and other lies are reflected throughout the world with increased atrocities, terrorism, apostasy, corruption, starvation, disease, and Christian persecution. An example of what God says about liars and those who follow the lie: “The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.” But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” The Serpent said to eve, “You will certainly not die.” The world wants us to believe that God either does not exist or He is impotent. God is alive, and He is actively waiting for you or others to come closer to Him, and to follow Him with faith. There is nowhere that God will not go to save you. God is chasing after you, if not with the “hounds of heaven,” He is seeking and searching the world with the “Four Wheels” Ezekiel describes in the throne room of heaven. This could be his “vehicle” to bring opportunities for you.

Interlude with Death and New Beginnings

Death is the end of the line to those who do not know the LORD.  Likewise the RETURN of Jesus Christ sets the “World’s Clock” to “Apocalypse Time” or the “Hour of Judgment” where all the tribes and nations will be judged.  This will not be a time of national rejoicing!  No nation will be spared and no individual on earth at that time will escape Judgment.  The Word of God says that the “nations will mourn” and the leaders and kings will cower in caves.  Jesus Christ will defeat the forces of the Anti-Christ and other converging armies.  He will then usher in the Kingdom of God and will rule for 1000 years from Jerusalem in a New Beginning  called the Millennium.

I had an interlude with the shadow of death this weekend.  As I was about to serve a tennis ball to a friend, I asked if he was ready.  He said “No,” then went down on his knees and fell over. I ran over and found that he was not breathing nor had a pulse….so I started CPR and went on for 15 minutes because no one else wanted to help! The ambulance got lost even though one of our big hospitals was only about a 15 minute walking distance away!  I was doing solo with 2 breaths and 30 compressions and did get a pulse, but the pulse was weak and  continued for only a few seconds.  I pray that he had time to accept Jesus as I was pumping his blood and breathing the breath of life into his lungs! We had discussed forgiveness and salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in years past?

So what does this have to do with new beginnings?  God uses the “seed” to represent both death and new life.  In order for the seed to bring life, it must die.  Each time God culled or purged his people for their rebellion and sin, He would bring new life to his nation.  A select group would go through trials and tests as they entered into a new Promise.  The new year in both the Jewish and Gregorian calendars end with the number 8 which in the Hebrew Gematra means “new beginnings.”  Are we entering into a new paradigm where both “worlds” will be  tested as God’s Promise is fulfilled?

We just saw the end of the Jubilee year of 5777 and now we begin a new set of 7 sevens or 49 years.  And so begins a new 7 year Shemitah period.  We are seeing all the important generational periods converge on this Jewish year of 5778, implying that a whole new set of generational periods are about to begin.  Even the Cosmic Signs imply a new beginning: both the Solar Eclipse and the “great sign of the Woman and Child of Revelation 12.”  The Solar Eclipse generated fear in ancient civilizations because it often forebode a new calamity of some kind.  In our case we had 3 major hurricanes within 3 weeks time.  The Houston hurricane broke all records for rainfall and the Puerto Rico storm was probably one of the most destructive per acre of any hurricane.

The Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-4 is not visible and hence, it is a supernatural sign indicating a new phase in the supernatural realm promised by God as described in the 2nd paragraph of Revelation 12.  Just as Satan was once “glorious” then fell from grace, mighty men and women are going through a rise and fall before our eyes. Many of those  are in Hollywood, Congress, leaders of the world and in the media.  God is actively unveiling His Plans and fulfilling all His Promises.

“Returns” – Answered Prophecy & the New Printing of COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

Concerning the Signs that God gave us around the Jewish New Year that ended the Jubilee year of 5777, God impressed me to write the following passage: “Remember also that the year that we are in is a Jubilee year and so the focus has been on ‘Returns.’ Maybe something surprising is returned from one party to another such as land. Maybe it is a return to God or God’s return to man?“  The festivals and times of repentance that God designed for the Jewish nation are prophetic.  They coincided with both a spectacular American Solar Eclipse and the “Great Sign of the Woman” of Revelation 12.

My book was written prior to August. When I wrote about the “returns” I was relating it to both Teshuva and Jubilee.  Teshuva was the 40-day period leading up to Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement when all were called to return to God and repent for their sins.  Jubilee which comes every 50 years celebrates the return of land to original owners and the return of debts.  The “surprise” aspect of the “Returns” relates to God’s intervention in our timeline and His desire to draw the world to Him as he honors Truth, the humble in heart, and the poor in Spirit.

The return of Jerusalem as capital of Israel or Trump’s recognition of God’s city as the true capital of Israel was a surprise to many.  Our nation’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital is very significant since we are the “power brokers” of the modern age. It is indeed a return to the Truth and to Reality. This is what God wants of nations and people.  And it joins our history and interests to that of the nation of Israel!  Many people do not realize this but on our “Liberty Bell” are inscribed words related to the “Jubilee,” from Lev.25:10.  Just another reminder that God owns it all and that should honor Him in all that we own.

Happy New Year to Everyone!  My book is now in it’s 2nd Printing along with   some new information.  Although I did not mention this specific instance, here is a story related to the apostasy of the church:  there was a Kairos Conference that many followers of Kenneth Copeland went to.  There were other speakers including many in the Catholic faith.  What saddened me was to hear Kenneth declare that the Protestant Reformation was one of the greatest spiritual sins of all time and that it was racist.  Copeland also clearly states that the Reformation was of the Devil since it caused disunity and strife!  Look this up on “YouTube” and you will find the complete video (one video is called “Something Big is Going to Happen in 2018”).  What is sad is that Kenneth claims to be filled with the Holy Spirit , yet he is the one causing major strife and claiming a lie.

The Protestant Reformation brought the Bible to the common man and ended the tyranny of the Popes including indulgences.  William Tyndale and many other great scholars were put to the stake for printing the English Bible and making it available to the common man.  This is just another sign of the End Times and the encroachment of the Anti-Christ Spirit as it seeds the nations with lies and the counterfeit religion.

God will supply us with our every need.  “Give and it will given unto you,” is what God promises us.  Faith is believing what God has promised to do and acting accordingly. In this New Year, God is calling us to live by faith no matter the trial or test. Are you ready? Are you willing to Trust in God and His Word? Are you willing to put God before your own misconceptions, your idols, your fears, your desires, and your own mind and will? God says my thoughts and my ways are not your thoughts – they are beyond what the world knows; they are as far apart as heaven is from earth.  Are you willing to realize that “dark matter” and “junk DNA” are man’s lies to explain away God’s Creation, and that there is only one Way, one Truth, and one Life and that is in Jesus Christ?  To live by faith is to know God, and to know God is to read and study His Word, then listen to His voice.  As believers we should return to God all that is His and seek His kingdom and rewards on this earth.
