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.

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.

Why The Invisible Sign!- The Jerusalem Countdown, Reversal of Fortune & my book

An Addendum to COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN (The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation): 

I believe that time is short. 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-light 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 will dispel 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.”

God is speaking to us in this time and age and we are seeing the “reversal of fortunes” as suggested in my book. However, I had thought that this would be reflected in the economy, but instead we are seeing this happen in a personal way to a person’s fortune, reputation, and self-esteem. God orchestrates this fall for their sake so that in their loss and fall they will turn 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. You will see how this fall is related to the Great Sign of Revelation 12:1-4.

Our year started out and continued with many surprise returns: from the 28-point reversal in the Super-bowl to the surprise win by the Astros; from the fall of Target to the rise of Walmart; from the NFL fiasco to the obsessive hypocrisy of the media; from the politically motivated attacks on Trump and Moore, to actual evidence based revelations of rape & groping committed by media & Hollywood giants. These “surprise returns and reversals of fortune” have a Biblical base. They are highlighted by the fact that September 22nd ended the Jubilee year and each generational period of 40, 70, and 100 connects in a dramatic way to our present time-line in the Hebraic year 2017-2018. There are also connections to 500 & 2000-year time spans.

My book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN-The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation, explains each generational connection, that the Solar Eclipse would follow with major storms, and that the Great Sign of Revelation 12 would be a sign without immediate impact. Like the Bethlehem Star, the September 23rd Sign from Revelation 12, ushers in a new Paradigm. The key is the first verse! I have asked dozens of people to tell me what is contradictory or illogical about that verse. No one has had the observational skills to see it. This is one of my points- it takes more than theology to understand the message in the Word of God – a touch of Science, Geography, Art, military tactics, and just pure common sense helps illuminate the message. One could say it takes wisdom and study. As you will see the correct understanding makes a huge difference as to what this whole passage means. It also illuminates the next paragraph in Revelation 12.

The fact is the Sign of Revelation 12 speaks of the Woman clothed with sun with the moon at her feet and a garland of 12 stars. Do you see the problem? As stated earlier, I have shown this to scholars who have failed to see this simple fact. Even though the verb, “appeared,” is used the “Great Sign,” is not visible and never was intended to be visible. Note that the minute the sun appears above the horizon or near the “Woman’s” shoulder – the sign disappears completely! This does not, however, imply that the event did not happen. The stars, planets, sun, and moon are where they are supposed to be, but we cannot see them.

God has given us a sign that is not intended to be seen with our eyes! Why? It is entirely possible that we will never see a visible sign of His Return, because Jesus said multiple times that he would not give a Sign to an “evil generation”. In Matthew 12:39, Jesus says, “A wicked generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” The Great Sign of Revelation 12 would fit this promise perfectly. Even though the sign is miraculous, it is not visible. It “appeared” in the heavens, but the sun keeps the human eye from seeing it!

Hence, I believe this sign is designed to portend the beginning of a supernatural event or series of events that are real, but are NOT visible! These spiritual events will have physical consequences as God orchestrates history with His Promises. The next sub-chapter within Revelation 12, portrays the casting out of Satan and one-third of the angels from heaven. Could this indicate that the mighty on earth who are full of pride like Satan will take a fall too? Does it mean that Satan and his demons will be more active on earth causing demonic mischief? This could be the answer to all the bizarre behavior, irrational threats by crazed leaders, and horrific acts of terror and murder that are happening in America and throughout the world. Could the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel be a catalyst to some more end-time events?

Also note that the 1st verse in Revelation 12, describes only the Woman. The 2nd verse introduces the child. And the 3rd verse shines a light on the “Dragon” or serpent. In just these three verses, the theme of the Bible is presented – as it was in Genesis 3:15. This is akin to the “Wheel of Time” mentioned in my book. Genesis Chapter 3 ushers in a whole new paradigm and I would guess that Revelation 12 will also. Remember the Bethlehem Star? The book explains that this visible sign was also related to the constellation Virgo and that it was not recognized by most in the known world. Yet, it motivated the Magi or Kings to travel a great distance to worship the child! That is why in my book I suggested that the Sign of Revelation 12 on September 23rd, 2017, has opened a door to new beginnings with supernatural consequences.

One of these new beginnings mentioned in my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN, is the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The fact that it did not happen earlier illustrates the impact Satan has in the natural world. Jerusalem is the location where God made his Covenant with Abraham and where God spared Isaac. It is where King David and all the other Judaic kings held office and where many of the great prophets lived and died. In Luke 2 the Word states, “Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover.” This is where Jesus is found as a boy teaching the scribes in the Temple. It is the city of God where Jesus was crucified, then resurrected, and will return in His 2nd Coming. Psalm 122 commands us to pray for Jerusalem. Zachariah 12 states, “On that day I (God) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.”

God will side with Israel against all the nations of the world and He will use His supernatural power to defeat them all. Thus, we are in what I call a “new Paradigm,” where new beginnings will shake America and the world. In the book I indicated that since Jerusalem was shared by both Islam and the Judeo-Christian world, it was protected- this may now change to a degree.
President Trump has begun what some Jews already call the greatest Pro-Israel initiative in modern time. He is being compared to President Truman who has been given credit for opening the door to establish the Jewish nation.

In my book I indicate what is happening is not a coincidence. The time from the capture of Jerusalem by the Ottomans to their defeat by the British was 400 years. The time between Truman’s amazing decision to establish the nation of Israel and President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is 70 years. It appears that Trump was appointed by God for this time. Note also that Truman and President Trump both won surprise reversal of fortune elections- two of the most surprising elections in our history. The parallels are very interesting as both were businessman, and both have their names beginning with the same 1st 4 letters and their names mean something from a biblical viewpoint. This “New Beginning” will bring conflict and many new challenges around the globe and even in America. I believe that this will embolden the forces of evil and darkness. Keep in prayer! NOTE THAT NO OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO ITS CAPITAL AS ISRAEL HAS TO JERUSALEM! THIS RIGHT WAS SET BY GOD!

God will prevail for He is in control of the storm. Just as the storm that scared the disciples as they hurried to wake up Jesus Christ, our storm is designed to teach us faith. Jesus asked them why they had such little faith. He wants us to go through the storm with Him so that we will grow in faith. Jerusalem is God’s Holy City. And through Jerusalem, Jesus Christ will show us His Glory and His Power. Jerusalem is the center of history and through Jerusalem, Jesus will show the world that He is the center of the Universe and controls all the forces of Creation. The people of the Promise will seek to know Him and enjoy Him for HE IS THE LIGHT OF LIFE.

AMERICA UNDER JUDGMENT?

Our nation stands at a critical Crossroad in time. We are being challenged from every side with internal and external threats, unlike any time in history. What we do now will make a difference for the future generations. Our debt opens us up to Economic war from foreign powers who want to see the dollar and our nation fall. Our vulnerability in the power grid and in the intellectual spy game is greater than ever … as China and Russia hack into our systems and compromise our university idealism. With the combination security hacks of our Governmental payment system and Equifax foreign powers can cross reference those people in important positions that are having financial problems.

The “liberal” corporate mentality is more willing to share high tech info with the Chinese than it is with our own government! We know that everything shared with any Chinese company will end up on its military scheme- yet here in america very little is being shared for our military use! We are defeating ourselves and letting the Trojan horse in with a blind smugness that may defeat us in a way that the Persians defeated the Babylonians. We are not learning from history- after all the liberal media and many technological institutions are more interested in virtual reality than they are in the REAL WORLD & our survival!

It is no surprise that the World is going through major upheavals and challenges of both natural and human origin.  Since America carries a special burden or mark given by God over the centuries, she will also receive a special judgment by the Almighty.  History shows that America was chosen to not only unify the nations with language, currency, and an expanding culture of information (as foretold by Daniel the prophet), but also to be at the forefront of creating the giant steps of speed and propulsion (again as foretold by Daniel-  people going to and fro ).  God has also used America to spread His Gospel and to establish and protect the nation of Israel.  However, America has now reached a nadir or vanishing point where the bad is outweighing the good, and ironically, this is not the fault of the present leadership.  On the contrary the “Lie” has become so ingrained in the last 10 years and glorified by the media that the Spirit of God is being pushed away by the “powers of darkness and principalities of evil” that have taken over.  And the nations of the world are also being deceived! Do not believe CNN and the lies of Satan!

America is drowning in the “best of times and the worse of times.”  This is only a small part of the judgment.  The worst is to come.  The best of times lulls us into apathy, complacency, and an indifference to God.   The church grows, yet idolatry grows with it.  Materialism and comfort have undercut many churches and made them into a country club of entertainment and mindless devotion.  In many cases lies have been incorporated into the churches theological system in order to “unify” the disenchanted and confused, in the hope that the pastors message will transform them with truth.  The congregation in the process cannot  remember any of the parts of the message much less the theme.  In essence the Spirit of God is missing.  Maybe this is why this has become the year of “surprise returns.”  God is trying to get our attention in the “games” that we play.

It has gotten to the point where more youth are turning away from the Truth than are being drawn.  One study shows that only 2% of Millennials in America trust in Jesus Christ and have a Christian world view!  Those who do go to church have a conscience formed by the world and NOT by the Word of God. Therefore they feel emboldened to defend the perverse and the anti-biblical as long as it has good reason or appropriate origin as defined by the relative state of being.  Tolerance is the badge of faith instead of Jesus Christ.

God, will therefore use America as an example to the rest of the world.  God has to end the ever increasing flood of drug and pornography addictions, the gambling and prostitution, the export of base and violent entertainment,  the “exploitation of innocent humans, and the spread and growth of every other kind of darkness.  Before Judgment, God will inspire His leaders and His people to speak out and stand up for Him.  Revival has begun in many areas and this is Americas only hope.  With trials comes new growth and victories of both body and spirit.  God is using the storms to bring people to Him and he will continue to use these trials to build the true church and the kingdom of God.

Read my new Book: COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN-  Please go to Barnes & Noble and leave a review on my new book if you have read it or part of it.  Another important review that would help is from Amazon. I need reviews quickly in order to place my book in “book clubs”, thanks.  The following is an example of what the book is about:

COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN -The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation”
Presents a wide perspective on what many are calling a “New Paradigm” in American History.
Our nation stands at a critical Crossroad in time. We are being challenged from every side with internal and external threats, unlike any time in history.  Time seems to be speeding up, compressed with bizarre and extreme events, and disturbed by irrational behavior.  What we learn and do now will affect future generations.
This book unveils Answers to troubling current events as it reveals Signs and Mysteries that are meant for us today.   In a broad sweep of inspiration, the book illumines a prophetic parallel in history and a new paradigm that is part of God’s Promise.  God has left divine footprints on our time-line dating back to the beginning of time, with clues for the present and future.  This includes:  The Fig Tree Prophecy spoken by Jesus concerning a “Last Generation”; a “Cosmic Crossroad” that is intersecting our present time-line; a “LOST TIME” instituted for a Lost Generation; the Convergence of “Wheels of time” with historical generational time periods; and a mysterious “Cross in the Wilderness” along with other divine signs.
God gave us these prophetic messages and signs because He desires to have a relationship with us as He guides us through the trials and tests that lie ahead.  If we do not choose Him soon, time will make the decision for us – The Countdown begins.

Do you Want to See God?

The Bible is the Word of God. It is Living and Active and like a two edged sword it can pierce your heart and your mind, the natural and the supernatural.  It has the power to tear down walls and transform hearts and minds.  Jesus Christ said, “Blessed are those who are pure in heart, because they will see God.”

Colleges and Universities do all they can to take the individual away from the Living Word of God and draw them into a kingdom created and designed by man.  Man becomes the center of the Universe and his contrived theories say that everything was created by an accidental Big Bang and that through billions of miracles of accidental cellular changes a recreated DNA strand of information regenerated new information billions and trillions of times over.  That is like saying the Library of Congress recreated itself over and over again improving its shelves of books over time!  The evolutionist demands that water came from nowhere, saturating an earth that was a ball of fire, becoming a soup of life generating molecules, that were then energized into forming molecules of life.

The problem is lab experiments show that all molecular structures formed from such a power soup would have only left handed amino acids. Life requires equal amounts of left and right handed amino acids.  Likewise enzymes that would form from amino acids would have to have very specific functions from the moment of creation- yet  it takes millions of enzymes working together to create life and each of these amino acids are so unique that they cannot be altered.  It has been shown that any attempt to alter enzymes degrades them to the point of denaturing them.  They will not only not function, but will become a poison to the rest of the tissue or organ function. Evolution is a lie and is impossible.  What we experience in “species” change today is not evolution, it is natural adaptation or natural selection.  This process utilizes the power of the DNA allowing us to “breed selective combinations of genes” with characteristics that we demand as humans or which the environment demands for survival.

The Bible is a crossroad of the Supernatural with the natural.  To many it seems purely abstract and they cannot comprehend its power.  For instance the verse, “Be alert and of sound mind so that you can pray,” seems totally illogical to the natural mind.  Surely we need to be alert, but not to pray; first we should hide or run or do our best to work out an answer or a solution.  Another example is: “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”  What is this mumbo-jumbo about things not seen and hoped for? We can have faith in the plane that flies, but what does this have to do with the supernatural- why is that faith? This is one good reason why the Bible is discarded even by those who claim to be Christians yet do not immerse their lives in seeking and knowing Jesus Christ. True faith that changes and transforms requires the supernatural.

So Do You Want to See God?  Take that supernatural step of Faith and ask God into your life.  It is that simple, just ask Him to “Come into my life. Thank you for loving me, I know that I have failed you in many ways.  I am trusting in what Jesus did for me in paying for my sin.  I wish to make you Lord of my Life and ask that you help me understand your Word.”  Then go to the Bible and start reading, and “yes,” pray before and after you read!  As stated earlier, “Be Alert and of Sound Mind, so that you can Pray!” Prayer is that important!

There are a lot of good books to read to help you in your walk including Billy Graham’s books on Angels, the classic “Pilgrim’s Progress” or “On Hind’s Feet.” Other great books include those by Greg Laurie, Lee Strobel, and Apologetics books by Dr. Henry Morris.  My book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN- The Fig Tree & the Prophetic Generation will give you a grounding on some Apologetics (or defense of the faith), some Eschatology (the study of Prophecy from the Bible),  some Christology (study of who Jesus Christ is – for instance He is God and was not created), some History (which is important since God has orchestrated much of the important turning points in history), and some very important events in the Word- including Israels 40-year wandering in the wilderness,  the Signs in the stars announcing the birth of Christ,  and the testimonies or messages from  Peter, Paul, John, and Prophets such as Jeremiah, Zachariah, Daniel, and Joel.  One of the most important revelations relates to where Mt. Sinai is.  I can tell you without any hesitation that Mt. Sinai is in Arabia (note both Elijah and Paul said that they went to Arabia to have fellowship with God).   Most important this book has a deep study in the Fig Tree lessons that Jesus Christ shared with his disciples and with us (for they relate to our day and age)!

The Book also discusses much of what authors like Jonathan Cahn discuss in their books on Eschatology.  There is an extensive discussion on why generational periods of 40, 50, 70, and 100 are important to the study of God’s footprints in history and to his Promise for us.  If you wish to read an excerpt of this book read one of the posts below that have a summary, an addition, or just a discussion.  God Bless you in your walk with Christ and ToGodBtheGlory.

Here is a very quick summary of the book:   The Cosmic refers to Science and the harmony & order of the Universe; the Crossroad relates to faith and the supernatural intersecting the natural; the Countdown represents History and the fact that we are on a time-line that God has determined and which God orchestrates for His purpose and plan.

Why Storms- Knowing God’s Purpose and the Mystery?

Knowing that God is orchestrating history will help you feel assured and have comfort in times of stress and duress. One mystery is why would God allow tragedy to happen to those who love him? There are many possibilities and I will share two. 1) God is interested in drawing people to Him. In our daily mundane or distracted lives we do not look to God nor seek to find Him. However in the darkness the light shines the brightest and people do seek him and find him. That is the ultimate Love because He knows that eternity is much longer than our short lives on this earth- your soul is much more valuable than your eyes.

Our eyes can  prevent us from knowing God- if we allow the flesh to dominate our life.  Jesus proclaimed, ” Blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they will see God.”   2) God has a timeline and that timeline is growing shorter and shorter. That maybe why time seems to be compressed and why we sense more uneasiness, uncertainty, anxiety, and more extreme behaviors, weather, and conditions. Right now God wants to purify and strengthen the church just as he did with his “children” in the wilderness of Sinai and during the Babylonian captivity. God wants to ready the church for the rapture and inspire Christians to share the Gospel.

We can stand firm in the Lord against persecution, trials, and difficulties, 1) We know that God is in Control, as expressed in my new book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN,  2) Rejoice in the Lord, for He is our strong Tower and Counselor, 3) We can be confident in Him and therefore have REST in Him. That is why Jesus said, “My burden is Light and my Yoke is Easy, 4) If you truly believe in God, you will be thankful and will have real joy, for God is accomplishing a divine purpose including conforming us to the image of God,  5) God has promised to Deliver us and Provide us, 6) We can be thankful that He is Perfecting our faith, working out His Plan in us, shaping our character, and Preparing our Way! 7) He is seated in Heaven- our Salvation and Propitiation has been completed- and as Jesus said, “It is Finished”.   The Priests in the Temple had no chairs and had to stand up and work and perform in order to win forgiveness for themselves and the people.  This has all been accomplished by Jesus Christ.

What we need now is sanctification.  This  process will build character! This is one reason why God is testing us and allowing storms, so that we can Glorify him in the test and trial.  Another reason is to motivate us to repent and change course while at the same time drawing people to Him.

We just need to be willing to stand for Him, rejecting the idols and desires of the world, and walking in the Light. The Peace of God will bring Tranquility beyond human understanding and it will guard you from instability. Spiritual stability will help us resist our own flesh, overcome our bad habits, and keep us virtuous – alert- and of strong mind so that we can pray. Yes, Prayer Is That Important. God says, “Come let us Reason together”- and that is exactly what prayer is when done from the heart! This will resolve the storms in your life.

Do you feel anxious and uneasy about the events, weather, and behavior in our nation? Do you believe that history repeats itself?  Do you think that God is actively involved in orchestrating history?   Have we entered a paradigm in history as suggested by the author Jonathan Cahn? Have you heard of The Prophecy of the Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation? These are questions that are addressed in my new book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN- The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.   Here is a very quick summary of the book:   The Cosmic refers to Science and the harmony & order of the Universe; the Crossroad relates to faith and the supernatural intersecting the natural; the Countdown represents History and the fact that we are on a time-line that God has determined and which God orchestrates for His purpose and plan.

God wants a relationship with us and he seeks us … all we have to do is to receive the gift that he has to give us and that is the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ and it is only through Jesus Christ ….for as Jesus himself said, the path is narrow and hard but the crowds follow the easy wide path. Do you want to choose him or do you want to choose the way of the world? Jesus Christ is the Door to heaven and the only door… do not be fooled by false prophets or false religions nor the lies of the media and of the world

The Gateway to Heaven

Do you feel anxious and uneasy about the events, weather, and behavior in our nation? Are you concerned about the divisiveness, the polarization, the rebellion, and perversity of our society? Do you believe that history repeats itself?.  Do you think that God is actively involved in orchestrating history?.  Are we entering a new paradigm that even the author Jonathan Cahn describes in detail in his book? Have you heard of The Prophecy of the Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation? These are questions that are answered in my new book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN- The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.

I could have called my new book “The Gateway to Heaven”, since my primary theme is to point the way to JESUS CHRIST who is the Gate or Door to Heaven.

When He started His ministry he quoted Isaiah, “The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death – A great Light has dawned.”  He came proclaiming Salvation and Repentance: Jesus said, “Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”  Matt. 4:17.

The Crossroad is made up of 4 arms: 1) at the top is the Fig Tree Lesson which is a mystery that God helped me to unfold,  2) one arm has the Signs of the Sun, Moon, and Stars including the constellations, 3)  the 3rd arm has the Testimonies of the Apostles (Peter & John), the Prophets (Daniel, Zachariah, Isaiah, etc.), the archaeological evidence including the city of Jerusalem, the Word of God and the current events;  4) the final arm or leg of the cross has the 70- year Prophetic Generations and the generational periods of 40, 50, & 100 along with time spans of 7 years, 49, 400, 500, and 1000.  This Crossroad intersects with the infinite and divine Time line which started 6000 years ago.

The “Cosmic” is important because Genesis tells us that the Sun, Moon & stars were given to us for Signs and Seasons.  The Bible calls the “Woman of Revelation 12,” a Great Sign.  More than likely, the Sign of the Bethlehem Star was a combination of the same Constellations as in Revelation 12 along with Jupiter and some other “star” that moved into the “body” of Virgo.   I noted in the Book that the Solar Eclipse which we just saw here in America was a Perfect Sign- for it had 3 unique properties:  1) It crossed America and not any other nation.  It was like a great slash starting at the 33rd State and ended at the 33rd parallel, 2)  The path was almost completely clear of clouds and it happened on the Day of Teshuvah which is the beginning of the 40 days of Repentance in the Jewish calendar, 3)  It also happened with the conjunction of Jupiter and Venus as they entered Virgo.  Jupiter represents God’s Authority and Venus is the Morning Star which is another name for Jesus Christ. 4) All this happened on a Jubilee year which is a magnification of God’s demand for repentance, Return, and Mercy. Hence everything related requires extra attention including the 40 days of repentance!  Note that God gave the Ninevites 40 days to Repent!  And that scientists believe that there was a Solar Eclipse prior to Jonah’s arrival that helped to motivate them to seek God.  Does this sound familiar? Nineveh repented, but has America repented?

I noted in the book which was sent in for publishing on Aug. 10th that there would be violent storms soon after the Solar Eclipse.  Note also that many ancient civilizations recognized that there was a “gateway” to heaven in the constellations.  Egypt for instance established this fact in the Sphinx as it has the body of the Lion (Leo) and the face of the Woman (Virgo).  The two represent the beginning and the end of the “Universe” or in a sense of “Time” and is therefore the “Gateway” to the outer regions of heaven.  Stars and Planets have meanings and names which God himself explained to Adam and Eve.  So when Regulus which at the heart of Leo and means “Royalty”, lined up with the Planets Mars (or Man), Mercury (or messenger), and Venus (or High Priest) we should realize that something very significant was happening! This array describes the Lion of Judah, who comes to Judge the Earth.

The Sign of the Woman of Revelation 12 was never intended to be seen in its fullest extent.   God gave us this Great Sign as a declaration of a new paradigm, yet He made it appear primarily in the Word of God and in the Star maps.  This sign was not recognized by the world system, nor by the evolution based scientists who normally embrace unique stellar signs.  So why was it not seen?  First of all it happened low on the horizon, and second the sun is part of the  sign thus making the entire sign invisible to the naked eye.  We all know the blinding effect of the sun and its indirect light that can make stars disappear even before sunrise.  The sign required that the sun rest on “Virgo’s” shoulder making her immediately invisible to the eye, but visible to God.

One of the incredible elements in this Great Sign is the way God moved Jupiter into the “womb” of Virgo for 9 months.  The retrograde motion of Jupiter allowed this unique appearance, and in no other case in history has this been so precisely achieved in heavens.

The “Countdown” is important because God has a Timeline which he established at the Creation and throughout time has orchestrated.  These divine footsteps express His Mercy and Love for those who seek Him and honor Him.  We are nearing the end of this timeline and therefore time feels compressed, with many events and weather patterns appearing extreme, along with the almost irrational behavior of people. The labor pains are more intense and this will continue until the rapture – which could happen at any time.  The Prophecy of the Fig Tree and the Prophetic Generation both point to the fact that we are the “Last Generation” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew 24 as he gave his Olivet Discourse.  The countdown which began at “the budding of the Fig Tree”, the establishment of the nation of Israel in 1947-48, has lasted almost 70 years now.  We have until Rosh Hashana in 2018.

As I write this, it is past September 23rd and we are seeing more hurricanes and other signs of trouble on the horizon.  We have record “firestorms” in California, stoked by unusually heavy and persistent winds. Another ominous sign is that of  the Kurdistan Independence vote  that happened a few weeks ago.  This vote could lead to regional war as Iraq, Iran, and Turkey do NOT want an independent Kurdish Republic.  Ironically the Syrians are the only ones willing to help the Kurds by allowing them to sell their oil through their pipelines.  Turkey has blocked their pipelines and all airline traffic and so has Iran and Iraq.  I believe the next war will be a conflict related to Iran’s desire to conquer the Kurds in order to establish a passage to the “sea” and to destroy Israel.

 

 

Time for the Church to Repent- the CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

The Spirit of God is telling the church to repent.  I have heard this from many ministries and in many prophetic books that are out there.  “Be Alert and of Sound Mind so that you can pray!”  Be willing to go into His wilderness experience so that you can depend on God and not the world and so God can sustain you and and free you from your desires. We are at a Crossroad in time where everything seems contrary and often irrational, but this is all in God’s plan.

Time seems to be flying because time is compressed – God is bringing things into completion. Keep in prayer and keep the Word of God close to you. Forgive!   In Him we have Redemption through His blood.  While we were still sinners Christ died for us….however, he has left Reconciliation up to us. Jesus paid for all your sins and now the debt is fully satisfied – Jesus Christ said, “It is Finished”.  If you are wounded “FORGIVE”, and if the Spirit of God convicts you of something you did, “REPENT!”  “Metanoya” means a change in form- or change in mind.

Frankly the whole nation needs to Forgive and to Repent or Judgment will come. However, we all know that this nation is so far into Defiance that it will take a Nineveh-like miracle for this nation to bend its knees to God and  change course. Demons and Devils are daily fare on T.V. and horror, blood, and sex are the name of the game in the movies and in games.  God sees that the generations have lost their way and are devoted more to Baal worship than to Him.  Baal worship involves 5 major areas:  1)  the Glorification and worship of animals  2)  Temple slavery and sex with drugs  3)  baby sacrifice   4)  idol worship – ie. devotion and attachment to anything but God-  football, sports, institutions, pets, even one’s own family,  5) and the emulation and tattooing of the body.

In America  we have hundreds of coliseum-like stadiums where the “warrior” athletes compete for glory!  These are our demi-gods and our idols.  Every Pastor in America should remind their congregation that there is only one God and that does not include the demi-gods of football, basketball, hockey etc. – therefore we should not idolize sports and should instead spend those wasted hours being a spiritual leader of our families, serving others (and we have a lot of victims), being creative for God, and reading and studying the Bible in order to show ourselves approved.

The church has been compromised and two of the biggest are Idolatry and Evolution:  One attacks the Spirit and the other the Mind- but both undermine the foundation of our faith and the intimacy that the Lord offers us with Grace and Love.  Below is a great example of How Evolution has undercut our faith.

“For in those days there will be such tribulation as has not been from the beginning of the creation that God created until now, and never will be.” (Mark 13:19)
Here it is clear that Jesus affirms the biblical doctrine of supernatural, sudden creation. In the pagan world of His day, evolutionism was dominant almost everywhere. The Epicureans, for example, were atheistic evolutionists. The Stoics, Gnostics, Platonists, and others were pantheistic evolutionists. None of the extra-biblical philosophers of His day believed in a God who had created all things, including even the universe itself. Likewise, we have “experts” who have brainwashed the population of the world into believing that “Everything came from Nothing” and that a “Ball of Fire” became by some miracle a “Ball of Water” (as the earth is- 72 % water and a lot of ice to boot).
But Christ was a creationist and He even believed in recent creation, for He said (speaking of Adam and Eve) that “from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female” (Mark 10:6). The pagans all believed in an eternal cosmos, but Jesus said it had a beginning and that man and woman were a part of that beginning creation, following which “the sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27). So if you want to call yourself a Christian that means you need to Trust Christ for what He said and for His Doctrines!
He also believed that the “two accounts” of creation (Genesis 1 and 2) were complementary, not contradictory, for He quoted from both in the same context. “Have you not read,” Jesus said, “that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female [Genesis 1], And said For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [Genesis 2]” (Matthew 19:4-6).
God wants a relationship with us and he seeks us … all we have to do is to receive the gift that he has to give us and that is the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ and it is only through Jesus Christ ….for as Jesus himself said, the path is narrow and hard but the crowds follow the easy wide path. Do you want to choose him or do you want to choose the way of the world? Jesus Christ is the Door to heaven and the only door… do not be fooled by false prophets or false religions nor the lies of the media and of the world
