The Bible gives us a roadmap as to when God will judge the guilty and redeem those who turn to Him. This offer is a free Gift to everyone who just places their trust in Him!
Hell and a warning
HELL and a warning:
Why do you think, Jesus Christ spoke more about Hell than about Heaven? Do you think it is because He knew the future and the Lies that Satan would spin about God’s Eternal Judgment? I believe that He wanted to make it very, very clear to us that Hell is a place to fear for it is an eternal punishment and not just a momentary punishment. Even Justinian compromised and explained that surely God would allow the dead an opportunity to be redeemed or prayed into heaven. This of course is where the idea of “Purgatory” came from. Sadly this is the belief of all Catholics and Mormons (who do not name it purgatory), and therefore probably the majority of people who call themselves “Christian”. Satan has done a good job of deceiving people. This is a very sad reflection of the church and the Seminaries. Speaking of seminaries, they have also neglected to teach their students about the importance and facets of Apologetics. Hence they graduate students without the ability to defend the Faith against the adherents of Evolution and the cults!
The Seventh Day Adventist and the Jehovah Witness have another take on Hell. They do not believe in it at all, and declare that everything will be annihilated except for them. This Annihilation deception is again, Satan’s attempt to negate the Sovereignty of God and the “position” where God places believers and non-believers. Without Hell there is no True Heaven, and no True Tri-une God as declared by Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and the Father.
Hell and the dark forces on this earth are connected to Satan and his schemes to thwart the Gospel and Redemption. Satan and his demons will be cast into the same fiery pit as those who are condemned at the Great White Throne Judgment by God. This is not a temporary judgment. Jesus said, “The Son of Man will send out his angels and they will uproot from the kingdom everything that is spoiling it, and all those who live in defiance of its laws, and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be tears and bitter regret.â (Matthew 13:24-43) Jesus called it a place of wailing and of weeping, a place of outer darkness. Jesus also spoke of “Ge-henna” which was a familiar physical “hell” to the people of the time for it represented the smoldering garbage dump that served the city of Jerusalem. Hell, of course, is not a physical place, and therefore annihilation which relates to the physical is not Biblical Truth! Hell is an Eternal agony, and supernatural = an after death experience with eternal separation from God. Right now, God is building up His Kingdom and Satan is building “down” his.
A Warning: Â The Americo-Euro-Asians and all who choose the world over God, have grown too comfortable in a techno-sugar-coated-superficial narcissism. I am reminded of a man who was in prison and looked forward to latrine duty so that he could collect the used and unused toilet paper provided by the cruel warden from torn up Bibles. He so wanted to learn the Word of God. Many have grown up in total poverty or neglect and God is giving them visions and dreams to bring them to him. In this world of mass transportation and communication, God says, âI have given the privileged the Gospel and they have rejected me, so I am giving the crumbs to the dispossessed.â
He warns, âI am going to bring you to Holy ground one way or another, so you had better come as soon as you can on my terms. You chose to ignore me and to resist my gifts of salvation and the Spirit, now you will face cleansing trials and tribulationsâ.
He is saying, âI spoke in parables because you would not listen nor hear; you refused to see me and see the Truth. You want your own desires and your own dreams, so I will give them to you as a veil that will blind you to my coming. You seek your own will, so I will harden your heart, and as unto the Pharaoh you will not see my judgment to come until it is too late. You hear and follow false prophets and teachers; you think and hope you will be lifted up before you are tried;Â I will not pluck the spoiling seed until the stalk dies, for you will face the desert wind, fire, and the shaking from the four corners. You and your people will fall into deception, and lies, and the mighty will fall. My Word is not a hidden Truth, yet you have failed to study my Revelation and my Promises.â
Jesus forewarns us all concerning the âdays of Noah,â and people will be marrying and being given unto marriage, when the judgment comes. They will not heed the warnings, nor give any credence to them. Are you one of them? Read the new book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & the Prophetic Generation to understand what is about to happen. History will repeat itself and the “Wheels of Time” are there for us to study and learn from.
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 on top of there summit. This summit complex had the steepest amphitheater in the world and still stands. In one of the buildings 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. Zeus was the pinnacle of paganism and represented Apostasy. Like BAAL he was the God of Thunder with lightening in his hands. He was connected to the defilement of the Temple- the abomination of desolation in the 2nd century BC. In essence this altar was to be the throne to Satan, but it was pulled down by the Maccabean revolt. The altar in Pergamum was not destroyed at this time. Read Rev. 2:12 about the church, âwhere Satan dwellsâ¦â Later under Titus and the altar of Zeus, Rome would rename the area where the Jews had lived as âPalestiniaâ.  Satan is and was determined to remove the Jews and displace even their name. He wants to put himself on the throne of your life- will you let him?
The Christian elder and pastor, Antipas was burned alive as a burnt offering at the altar to Zeus in Pergamum. This “throne of Satan” was later discovered by a German engineer  and moved to Berlin and reconstructed. In 1930 it was opened to the public just in time for Adolph Hitler. This throne and altar inspired Hitler’s podium platform and his torch parades, and eventually the “Cathedral of Light” created by dozens of spotlights pointing to heaven. Read Isaiah 14:12-14 and read the amazing parallel to Satan-like pride and ambition.  Hitler employed “Hollywood Stars” to add to his German mystique. Soon he formed the Nuremberg Laws which removed the citizenship from the Jews and then set up the “final solution,” the Holocaust. Was this in essence another “burnt offering” to Satan, just as Antipas was? Hitler made the Jews the “scapegoat”. The Jews were led like lambs to slaughter in “cattle cars”.
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. Well that line was crossed, and Iran fired missiles into Israel – a big mistake. Israel had already warned Putin and the Russians not to turn on their anti-aircraft SAM missiles which they honored. Israel was able to destroy all the Iranian military sites in Syria in just one evening. Now Iran, realizing that they have been betrayed by Russia, has reneged on the treaty and agreements with Russia, Europe and others and is preparing for nuclear war.
Here in May or June 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?
There is a chance for Redemption to all who call upon the Lord. God is bringing miraculous healing and salvation to many people throughout the Middle East and the World. Trust is the Lord with All your Heart and Lean not on your own understand, Acknowledge Him in all that you do, and He will make your path straight. If you confess Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that He was raised from the dead, you will be saved.
THE Approaching Fire
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 âbudding of the fig treeâ to the time of âfruit bearingâ 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.
Paul the Apostle who had a first-hand experience of the âLightâ of Jesus Christ writes that as children of light âwe should have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darknessâ (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 âwalk circumspectly, not as fools but as wiseâ (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), âthat we might know the things that are freely given to us of God,â understanding what the will of the Lord is.  Through his death and resurrection, Jesus who is, âGod with Us (Emmanuelle),â 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 ânew wineâ of Grace sets us free from the curse of the Law. This Gift of Hope, Love, and Peace, the âkingdom lifeâ, pulses through our heart and every fiber of our body and Spirit, as we wait for his return. Jesus said, âBehold, I am with you always, to the end of the Age,â Matt. 28:20.
Why is the number 12 or Revelation 12 important? Twelve is the number of Perfection & Authority – but also of âTimeâ 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 âtwoâ defines a dynamic coexistence of opposites or contrasts that balance forces, entities, divinity, space, and matter. All of creation is a balance of 2âs. 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 Godâs Divine Plan for creation in both space and time! The number 2 also represents Godâs power manifested on earth. We see 2 witnesses, the power of praying âwhere 2 are gatheredâ, the disciples going out 2 by 2, and many metaphors such as the two âolive treesâ and âtwo lampstandsâ 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 âaccelerating and changingâ 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  âbudding of the fig treeâ to the time of âfruit bearingâ 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 âHIGHâ 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 âHospitalâ 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: âWashington Revelationsâ takes you by âjet droneâ to all the Biblical quotes on Federal buildings, statues, and other museums. There is a special area on the writing of âAmazing Graceâ 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 â 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 âcity of 2 gatesâ 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 âparadigmâ one that connects the 1st century 70- year prophetic period of Christâs birth to the 70-year Prophetic Generation of the birth of Israel. Both have a 20 year âmaturationâ 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.Â
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 âfor 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 âparallel in timeâ related to two 70-year Prophetic Generations each consisting of a 50-year Jubilee, and a 20-year âmaturingâ 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 âabomination of the Templeâ or the date when the Romans brought their banners and standards of Caesar Titus into the Temple sanctuary. In parallel, todayâs 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 ânew beginningsâ 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 âstarsâ 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, âRid yourselves of all wickedness, deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander.â And he continues, âthe stone that the builders rejected – this One has become the cornerstone.â And then he warns, “I urge you as aliens and temporary residents to abstain from fleshy desires that war against you.â Then after much sharing concludes, âBe 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,â 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, âBut I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment,â Matt. 12:36.
We all remember as children what happened to Samson, who squandered Godâs 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:Â Â We seem to be at a very important âCosmic Crossroadâ in time, both astronomical and historical – linking Godâs time to manâs 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 âTimeâ 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 âtwoâ defines a dynamic coexistence of opposites or contrasts that balance forces, entities, divinity, space, and matter. All of creation is a balance of 2âs. 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 Godâs Divine Plan for creation in both space and time! The number 2 also represents Godâs power manifested on earth. We see 2 witnesses, the power of praying âwhere 2 are gatheredâ, the disciples going out 2 by 2, and many metaphors such as the two âolive treesâ and âtwo lampstandsâ 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:  Peterâs generation saw the first coming of the Lord and witnessed intense persecution. In comparison, we have witnessed âevil empiresâ and defeated them, and in this country, we have seen very little persecution. Are we âon guardâ, 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 Godâs 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:Â Â 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 âRelease or Returnâ, the 70 equals âProphecy Completeâ, and the 100 equals âTime extendedâ 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 âenemyâ land! This was a unique period for Israel We will soon see in Chapter 6, how this time of purification also links to the âCross in the Wildernessâ and to us.
Page 87:Â 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: âThe one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.â 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.â The Serpent said to eve, âYou will certainly not die.â 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 âhounds of heaven,â He is seeking and searching the world with the âFour Wheelsâ Ezekiel describes in the throne room of heaven. This could be his âvehicleâ 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):Â
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 ABCâs 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 âsurprise returns and reversals of fortuneâ 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 “Womanâs” shoulder â 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 âevil generationâ. In Matthew 12:39, Jesus says, âA wicked generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.â The Great Sign of Revelation 12 would fit this promise perfectly. Even though the sign is miraculous, it is not visible. It âappearedâ 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 âWheel of Timeâ 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:
