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

Summary & DISCUSSION: book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY READ THE SUMMARY GO TO THE DISCUSSION ON THE 4TH PARAGRAPH:  One of the main purposes of my new book is to show that God loves us and is in control – just as He has been in control throughout history -evidenced in both the Old and New Testaments and in rise and fall of nations.   He is real and alive today seeking a personal relationship with us. He has a time table and He is in total control of it: We can see His foot prints throughout history in Nineveh and the Solar Eclipse there, through the Dead Sea Scrolls, in the digs in Jerusalem and elsewhere). Because we are nearing the end time, Time appears to be speeding up and feels compressed from our viewpoint. We see things as being exaggerated or illogical – with many instances of extreme weather, 100-year-record earthquakes, fire storms, wind storms, hail storms, solar flares and abnormal behavior of every kind and scope. We know that God has ordained the End Times, but He has also ordained the means to the end. Now the question is what are you going to do?

What motivated me to write this book was heart knowledge that God gave me while sharing the Gospel at our mission at White Rock Lake in Dallas – the Fig Tree parable given by Jesus concerning the Last Generation- has a key to unlock the mystery. That key opened up my understanding of the Cosmic Crossroad which has 4 arms: each arm is based on the Bible- one relates to the Fig Tree lessons by Jesus and so I therefore go into great detail discussing both the Old and New Testament message related to the “Fig Tree” including the budding, and the ripening of the fruit on the Fig tree. The next “arm” is the Signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars – with a discussion on the Bethlehem Star and its parallel to the Great Sign of Revelation 12 and the promise in Genesis 3:15. The 3rd arm incorporates the Testimonies of Current events & history, Prophets and the Apostles, the City of Jerusalem and the Creation. For instance the evidence of an ordered and fine tuned creation is evidence of God’s divine plan and His ability to communicate to us through His creation. The 4th arm includes the 50-year Jubilee, the Prophetic generations, and important the 40, 70, 100, 400, 500, &1000 generational periods. All of these point to a soon to come intersection and convergence of “wheels of time” and events on God’s eternal time-line.

The main “prophetic-like” statement that I made in the book was to say that soon after the Solar Eclipse here in America there would be “many storms”.  I felt that God led me to include this and so in faith I put this in the book.  Go to the official COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN . COM  website to read an excerpt of the book and for more information.  Jeremiah states, “Behold the storm of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked.  The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intentions of his mind. In the later days you will understand this.” (Jer. 30:24-25)

Discussion:  If you have any questions post them to the form provided and I will answer them.  Questions:   1)  You mention that the Jew looks for Signs whereas the Gentile looks for knowledge.  Then you stated that Stars are a sign to the Jew, yet the Bethlehem star was seen only to Gentile kings?   ANSWER:   Actually the Bethlehem Star was seen by everyone, but only recognized by the Magi who had been trained by Daniel in the 70 and more years that he resided in Babylon (Daniel 1:20, 2:2, 4:7 and 5:7) and in Persia.  Probably the Sign was that of the Constellation Virgo and Leo with something spectacular that happened within the “womb” of Virgo.  Daniel was a Jew and he knew the prophecy of Isaiah (49:5-7) concerning the “Light to the Gentiles”.  He probably taught the Magi or stargazers that the “Gateway” or “Door” to the mystery of when the Messiah would come depended on the these constellations.  These are the same stars that the Egyptians used to design the Sphinx which has the body of the lion and head of the “virgin.”  They represent the beginning and the end of the “divine” stellar “clock” or history in the constellations that God probably taught Adam and Eve.

Question 2)  What do think will happen due to Sept. 23?  First I want to dispel the confusion created by the “conspiracy” people.  No, there is no planet “X” and the world is NOT going to End or be destroyed by meteor.  My thought and it is only an educated heart felt thought is that it opens up a new paradigm or series of events which are “new beginnings”.  Note this is NOT date setting since I am not setting an actual date!  Jesus scolded the Pharisees for not being aware of Signs of his Time (That Jesus is and was the Promised Messiah)  just as they were blind to the meaning of the Bethlehem Star.

Question 3)  Why the current event section of your book?

I really should have made this section longer and with categories.  Current events point to the end time in many ways:  1) It is obvious that there is an increase in animosity towards Israel and Christianity throughout the world and here in America.  2)  False religions and Christs:  we see this increasing in various parts of the world including Russia & the Caribbean where “prophets and false Christs” are proclaiming to be messengers from God.  It is happening in a different form here in America with many churches turning towards homosexuality & false theology such as “Replacement Theology”.   3)  America is the world’s Tech giant as we birth the powers that control the internet & social media- allowing for quick communications and loss of face to face interaction.  This faceless force is affecting a new generation of “lost souls” who see no need for relationship with God- for they have formulated their own idols and gods that cater to them.  4)  The increase in irrational behavior and Terrorism is another sign of the EndTime!  Children are being trained to kill and a whole generation is forced into a slavery of death in many Arab countries and in many Islamic provinces all over the world.  Sharia law is also being practiced throughout the world.  We also see the rise of rogue nations that carry massive nuclear weapons and whose leaders are bent on the destruction of Israel and the United States.  5)  There is an increased expansion of both China and Russia in every area of global control including the aspect of hacking and theft of secrets.  6) Increase in anarchy throughout the world including here in America.  Antifa is a prime example- especially since our media tends to glorify them while attacking any counter movement.   7)  The Apostasy of the church and the apathy in the American church.  As stated in my book there are many leaders in the church who are trying to promote perversion and unnatural laws that go against God’s Word.  The Sign of the Solar Eclipse addresses this very issue.  America  and the church needs to repent or we will come under God’s Judgment soon.

Question 4.  What do you mean by the Messiahnic age?  Lamb & Lion ministries seems to be confirming one of my points in the book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN. David Reagan states,” Did you know that more Jews have come to Jesus since 1967 than in the 2,000 years prior to that time? Do you know why?”
In my book I repeat what a 14th century rabbi states, that the 10th Jubilee which is the 1967 to 2017 Jubilee would be the Messiahnic Jubilee- translated means the time of Jewish conversion.

God tells us to be “alert and of sound mind so that we can pray”.  He also tells us that “it is not by power nor by might, but my Spirit, saith the LORD.”  So seek God’s Spirit in prayer by reading His Word, and then be obedient & of sound mind.

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 Lord’s Windstorm

Nahum the prophet said, “The Lord is slow to anger and powerful…the Lord’s path is in the windstorm and hurricane, thunderclouds are dust under his feet.” The Prophet Zechariah states, “God will blow the trumpet and will go out with the summer windstorm”.  And he continues, “The Lord who fashions, lightening thunderstorms…”

IT IS NO COINCIDENCE: Our recent Solar Eclipse crossed the US from coast to coast; was the most viewed eclipse in American history; appeared without much cloud interference; happened at the beginning of a special time of repentance called Teshuva (a time that God calls for national change of behavior) and 33 days before the Sun, moon, and stars will be ready to align themselves for the Great Sign of Revelation 12 on September 23rd.  The Eclipse started in Oregon the 33rd State and ended in South Carolina which is at the 33rd degree parallel. Thirty-three is the number of perfect perfection- hence the PERFECT SIGN.

IT IS NO COINCIDENCE: Hurricane Harvey came a few days later; struck the city of Corpus Christi (which means body of Christ) and had the name Harvey which means “Branding Iron”;    it moved back and forth just as the planet Jupiter was moving in the body of the constellation Virgo (a retrograde motion which makes this Sign the most unique Sign in Earth’s history- since Jupiter is the child about to be birthed near Drago the serpent).  Texas the most conservative state in the union received the 1st blow, a “Sign” that God will bring justice to all and seeks repentance from all.  These storms are so massive that they draw world-wide attention?

IT IS NO COINCIDENCE: Hurricane Irma became a massive storm in the Atlantic where the Solar Eclipse ended and then moved straight for Florida, and again has drawn world-wide attention.

It is no coincidence that we are seeing the supernatural presented in just about every way and form in society: in conspiracy theories, movies, games, print and the rest of the media.  Horrific and often twisted violence is being provoked against man, rumors of war are magnified to nuclear proportions, droughts and famines are spreading without making the news, and the Apostasy is spreading. Time is being compressed and thus we sense that illogical & incomprehensible events are rising with the power of the Lie. However, while darkness spreads the Light of God is exposing it.  The Power of the Cross and the Spirit are moving in mighty ways to save the lost, and God is calling and equipping the church to lead the way, pray, take a stand, and share the Word.

It is No coincidence that we are living in the a time like the “days of Elijah”. Elijah confronted Baal worship in what many believe was the greatest battle in the Old Testament of good against evil.  Upward of 850 prophets of Baal were killed by the people for having failed to defeat the God of Elijah. Baal Worship was the worship of the gods of the environment, child sacrifice (abortion), temple prostitution (Apostasy) and Idol Worship (ESPN’s ( ESPN’s obvious severe bias against our sitting President yet the men and women of this nation still sit mesmerized by their favorite sports!) This is a sad time for America which has glamorized the sport of winning at all costs too long (yes- even to the point of brain damage etc.). If the third hurricane forms out of Jose, Beware!  It will probably head for New York and like Harvey  it may hit land 3 times!

Does anyone remember what happened to Elijah after God’s defeat of Baal?  He fled to the real Mount Sinai which is in Arabia!  There he encountered God in the still voice- not the fire nor the earthquake.  Are we also headed for a major fire and earthquake?  The last events that happened to Elijah were:  1) Elisha who became his companion and apprentice prophet,  2)  He gives Elisha a double portion of “miracle power”- from God  3)  He parts the Jordan River which by the way is where Jesus was baptized  4)  He is lifted up in a whirlwind of fire!  Does any of this sound familiar?  From the Word of God it sounds a little like events in the book of Revelation including the rapture and the two witnesses.

Ezekiel states, (13:13) Therefore this is what the Lord God says, “In my burning anger I’ll rip it open with a windstorm, In my anger I’ll rinse it off with rain…and put an end to it with a hailstorm.” And Jeremiah the Prophet states, “Behold, the storm of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, a whirling tempest; it will burst upon the head of the wicked.  The anger of the LORD will not turn back until he has executed and accomplished the intents of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it clearly. ” Jer. 23:19-20.  Jesus says, “There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.” – Luke 21:11.

In my book, COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN,  I share about God’s footprints on our historical timeline and how Wheels of Time are converging unto our present age.  We saw Signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars just as they may have appeared at the birth of Jesus (The Star of Bethlehem may have had an array of constellation and planet movements as did the September 23rd Woman of Revelation 12 ),  and we are now seeing events happen as they did in the time of Elijah.

The Solar Eclipse was extremely significant in that it happened on the first day of Elul or on the 1st day of the 40-day period of repentance, and went from coast to coast, to cast a shadow only on America.  Likewise this whole event happened on a Jubilee year which implies a super “Return” or super repentance – a warning to America that storms were coming.  In the case of Elijah he overcame Jezebel & Ahab and destroyed 850 priests of BAAL.  In our time we have had the Obama/Hillary combination, which Jonathan Cahn in his book the Paradigm goes into great detail to show they parallel Ahab and Jezebel.  Having overcome this threat of Jezebel,  Elijah flees to a sanctuary and is visited by an earthquake, a hurricane, and a firestorm- each of which we have seen in recent weeks in their extreme forms (the Jubilee would have possible magnified everything by 50X).  I am convinced that we are being tested and this includes the church.

Here is the cover of my new book: 

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

Are These the Days of Elijah?

The Prophet Malachi promised that Elijah the prophet would come right before the “great and awesome day the LORD.”  The Jewish people do not believe that he has come, whereas we as Christians know that Jesus proclaimed that John the Baptist was Elijah.  Today we are the “Elijahs”, because we are supposed to be preparing the “Way of the Lord” in the “wilderness” for His Second Coming.

Right now we are seeing very dark forces rising up.  We have seen ISIS, North Korea, Abu Sayyaf, Al-Qaida, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Al Sahbaab, Hamas, and dozens of others intent on killing Christians, Jews, and anyone they do not like.

The powers of darkness are being manifested in social behavior and the glamorization of evil, Satan, slavery, pornography, and just about everything that goes against the Spirit and Truth.  The Burning Man festival is a good example.   This “alternate world” is an ultimate freak-out with drugs, sex, sorcery, witchcraft, worship of the dead, and now even a human sacrifice.  Check out the post on the “Burning Man”.   We are witnessing Defiance and “demi-gods” taking front stage in America with the media glamorizing their every action and declaration.  God is now going to act.

In the time of Elijah, Jezebel introduced Baal worship which was a combination of nature worship, Idol worship, child sacrifice, self mutilation, and worship of Asherah.   This is an amazing parallel to what we see today, if you consider abortion as child sacrifice and piercing as mutilation.  Temple prostitution is associated with drugs, slavery, child abuse, and the worship of Asherah.

Do you remember how Elijah was hunted down by Ahab?  Finally Elijah agreed to meet King Ahab’s 850 prophets of Baal at Mount Carmel for the showdown of the Ages.  It had not rained in Israel ever since God told Elijah that He would not bring rain…. and of course Ahab blamed Elijah.  He had all the people show up to watch the battle.  Elijah gave the Baal prophets as much time as they needed, even time to cut themselves and wail to their god.  Elijah then had the men dig a trench and fill it with water.  In this trench he drenched the wood for the altar that was built and then called out to God.  God answered and lit the altar up and the  sacrifice was  fulfilled.  The people then killed all the prophets of Baal.  This was the ultimate supernatural battle fought on a mountain top in front of all the kings men and for all the people to witness.   Are we willing to take a stand for God and “destroy” the demi-gods and idols in our lives?  Why are people wasting hours watching sports, idolizing sports and sport heroes, talking sports, and promoting sports?  Why are we setting a bad example for kids?  These so called heroes are often abusers of women, of the temple of the Holy Spirit which is their body, and glamorizers of violence.

Today on this same Mount Carmel there is another “Altar” – one that represents all the pagan religions of the world.  It is lit up at night like a great pyramid of paganism and Baal worship for all the world to see. Israel allows it!  Below is a picture of this eleven level pyramid of altars to the world’s most prominent religions including ancient ones to Saturn, which is just another name for Satan.  This is a testimony of the fallen nature of culture today including that of Israel and God’s chosen people.  Again “Testimonies” are an integral part of my new book:  COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN- The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.

God says to you and me, “As high as heaven is over the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways; and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.” God purposes trials and disasters for our sake in order to draw us and others to Him. We have witnessed an all out effort by certain people to divide America and cause social turmoil. What we have seen with hurricane Harvey is a very diverse group of people working together to help each other saving lives and property. Now we need to pray that the Zeka virus and other diseases do not gain a foothold in the aftermath.

God says, do you want platitudes and pats on the back, or do you want the Truth? When we do not show our children and our neighbors the Glory of God in our lives and in their lives, it is like taking them to a “Rocky Mountain high experience” then locking them up in a hall of mirrors. God says to us, “Call to me and I show you great and mighty things that you do not know.”

One of those Great and Mighty things that Jesus told the disciples and wants us to know concerns the End Times and His discourse on the Mount of Olives just before giving up his life for us. In Matthew 24 Jesus gives a detailed discourse on the End Times, the Abomination of Desolation, and His Second Coming. Jesus explains that a special “Last Generation” (which he describes in relation to the ripening of the summer fig), will not pass away until all these end time events have taken place. So what is the key to this knowledge and puzzling fig tree parable? My book the COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN reveals the answer, and explains how Jesus gave us clues in previous “fig tree discourses” to unlock the Truth.

The Fig Tree prophecy is what motivated me to write the book.  Then God showed me how the 4 arms of the “Crossroad”  intersect with our period of time.  This is not a popular subject since there has been so much error in the past.  This, however, is the real deal, promised by Jesus Christ himself on the Mount of Olives. This is why the Holy Spirit compelled me to research the information and write the book as quickly as possible.   Since the date of publishing this is what has happened: 1) Concerning the Solar Eclipse I wrote: “Is this a warning to a secularized America; to the compromised Jew, the weak church, and an overconfident community of Godless, technology and science dependent agnostics? Is this the beginning of judgment and will a massive storm or earthquake hit America soon?”   2)  Two weeks ago as an explanation to future storms I wrote that “the mother of hurricanes is headed to Florida.”  I am now praying for my brother and others who live in low lying areas of Florida.

“Harvey” means “branding Iron” and was a phrase used to show God’s desire that we be slaves to God and not slaves to the world system. Note that Harvey hit “Corpus Christi” which means “body of Christ” which is the church. The Solar Eclipse happened on Aug 21 and the “storm” happened on the 25th….and when you read Luke 21:25 you have, “And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and waves.”   God has ordered the events that we are seeing.  Here is an excerpt from my book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN:   “Just as He has named the stars, God has also given purpose to years, dates, and numbers. Everything He has done, is doing, and will do has order and a purpose! God wants us to understand what is going on in around us, so that we do not panic when trials begin! As you contemplate what this may mean to you, pray and read the four Gospels in the Bible. Read the questions and the testimonies and the detailed extra explanations that are at the end” of my book.  The events that we are seeing are “testimonies” to God’s purpose in fulfilling prophecy.

Wake up America: COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN:

The Perversion of the LAW, Noah’s time, and the Sign of Jonah.

COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation was written to Wake up America.  God inspired me to write this to wake you up. This is written to shake up the reticent, the comfortable, the confident, and the bright.  Yes, there is a countdown and you are a part of it.  That is why time and events seem compressed and sped up and that is why there is so much uncertainty, uneasiness, fear, and anxiety. We need to get our lives together and seek God.

This is what I want to impress on you in this  discourse.  The LORD is not coming back the way he came the first time.  He is returning in order to gather His church and to judge the earth and the people on the earth.  This plan was set centuries ago.  His Plan was expressed in Genesis and partially revealed in Genesis 3:15.  Whether you believe it or not, this revelation occurred in the Garden of Eden when the LORD addressed the serpent in front of Adam and Eve.  The LORD told the serpent “he will strike the heal of the seed of the woman, but that the seed would crush his head.”  About 4000 years later Jesus would be born and the church would be created.  John an Apostle of Christ would write about the “Child” in the Woman of Revelation 12.  In this “Wheel of Time” two messages are conveyed about the same characters.  Satan will “strike” and injure the “Promised” seed, but in turn the child  will win the war and Satan will be defeated.  The first promises a Messiah and the second promises a child which will grow and is to be raptured, despite the serpent’s pursuit.  Since Jesus Christ is in us and we are in Jesus Christ, the child is the church.  Jesus himself has not and will not be raptured, nor was He in danger of being devoured by Satan.

The Great Sign as described by John is the Sign of the Woman of Revelation 12.  This sign is coming together in the next few weeks like it has never before.  This is just one of 4 reasons why I wrote the book: COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation.  The Fig Tree discourse shared by Jesus Christ concerning what he called the “Last Generation” or what can be designated as the  “Prophetic Generation” is the main reason why I set my pen upon paper to get the message out.  The other two reason related to all the incredible Testimonies by the Apostles, the Prophets, and many others,  and the Convergence of the Generations- the 70, 50, 100, and 40 generational periods described in the Bible.  These 4 reasons make up the 4 legs or arms of the Crossroad that will soon intersect our timeline.

In the time of Jesus there were a group of men in white robes called the Pharisees.  They took the LAW that God gave the people and used it to manipulate and control the Jewish nation.  They perverted the message that God gave from His heart of Mercy.  You will see how they clearly did this in my book. Likewise we have a group of people in “white robes” who have perverted the “Laws” today.  These people are telling us that it is normal to pervert our sexual orientation, the institution of marriage, and a child’s sex.  They are telling us to ignore the natural LAWS of creation in other fundamental ways including the laws of Thermodynamics.  Yes, these people are trying to brainwash everyone into believing that everything came from nothing!  They are trying to drive God out of the lives of children and replace it with the gods of evolution, re-incarnation, self actualization, and any other  form of worthless mind numbing and mind fogging pursuit.  That is why Jesus said, “To an evil generation I will give only one sign and that is the sign of Jonah.”

The Sign of Jonah has been proven by secular observers to be a Solar Eclipse that happened a short time before Jonah preached the warning of God’s Wrath if they did not repent.  Guess what “They Repented” and their nation was temporarily spared.  Take notice that the Sun turned to darkness when Jesus was crucified.  In today’s world  God has placed pastors in every city in this nation calling for repentance, yet few have heeded the warnings.  God gave Nineveh 40 days to repent and He gave us 40 days starting with the Solar Eclipse on August 21.  We did not repent.

Again I suggest you read my previous message as it gives more detail on what I am about to share.  You will see that we are being given the same signs and warnings.  The world, however, is looking to scientific predictions, calculations and experts to answer problems.  They are not looking at signs.  Jesus  said that a future generation would  come under the sign of “Noah”.  This sign of “Noah’s day” also relates to our society and therefore forms another “Wheel of Time” that is intersecting God’s prophetic time-line.  Like in Noah’s day we marrying and giving to marriage.  We have a “family” that is building an “Ark” just as Noah’s family built an ark on dry land.  The people scoffed and laughed at Noah and his family.  Likewise people today scoff and laugh at the “family of God” that is ministering the Gospel of Truth to the world.  This Gospel puts Jesus Christ at the center and accepts the Word as the Truth, the inerrant Truth.  He is the Ark that Saves. He the Creator of the Universe – not the Big Bang.  He is the creator of all life-form, not evolution.  He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and as he Himself says, “and no one comes to the Father except by me”.   There is no other way!  He is the only God.

Here is an outline of the next video:

Everyone needs to take a spiritual inventory and an eternal perspective before it is too late!  If you cannot understand, nor concentrate on the Bible it is useless as revelation to you.  Every Word in the Bible is inspired!  It feeds the human soul, just as Jesus said, “My bread is every word that procedeth out of the mouth of God!”  Yes, the Word or Bible is more than just words, it is the living Word that can divide and discern soul and spirit, mind and falsehood, and even natural and supernatural.  Even the words of Shakespeare are meant to tickle the mind and are for entertainment: the Word of God is not!  Understand that there is a real war going on in the supernatural as stated in the inspired  word Paul shared with the Ephesians.  “ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

 If you devote time with the Creator of the Universe, he will reply to your quest and question.  He will open your own mind and heart up, and remove the fog of fear and pride, giving you knowledge of both the universe and the supernatural.  He will reveal Truth to you and give you purpose and an identity that is eternal!  He will give you the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things that you cannot see!  Yes, that is what He calls Faith, and it is a free Gift along with Eternal Life.

 The purpose of the book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN- The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation, is to draw many people  to the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings, Jesus Christ.  There are some speed bumps and blind alleys in life, but God uses them to build us up so that we can be a better witness. He wants to develop Godliness in us through perseverance and patience.  There are some errors in this first edition of the book.  A new edition will be out in 4 weeks (since the Publisher acknowledged that they made some big mistakes), but do not worry- the message is the same and it has not been affected by error.  I would still get the first edition since time is a big factor.

If you watch Part I of my recent YouTube video you will see one of my more difficult paintings in the background; one that required a very difficult framing for the canvas, and a whole new technique for laying down paint which required layers of acrylic masking & molding, oil paint for the face, digitized printing on a special plastic for the Word emanating from heaven’s door, spray painting, and gold painting for  the DNA (the miracle molecule for life) in the LORD’s right hand and the Atom in the LORD’s left hand.  I tried to express the Glory and Power of the presence of the LORD.  This painting is illustrated under the recent painting post.

Addition to the Book: COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

My favorite verse to summarize the importance of this book is: “Be alert and of sound mind so that you can pray.”  This simple yet powerful verse emphasizes the fact that this book alerts the public to the need to reconnect with the God of their childhood and to have faith in Him, Jesus Christ.  Most of all we need to pray as we study the Word of God  so that He can teach us and guide us through tough times that are fast approaching.  We are NOT called to defend ourselves with weapons of destruction, but with weapons of the Spirit, or Prayer & The Word of God.  We are not going to help anyone by hiding out in an underground bunker, nor a mountain cave.  We are to be a Light on a Hill for everyone to see and know.   The Answer and Truth are from God and God alone.
NOW FOR THE ADDITION:
If you were God and wanted to communicate a warning to all mankind, what would you do? Would you communicate a written warning first? If mankind did not heed that warning, what would you do next? If He then recreated himself as one of us and again warned us, would you listen? Having left clear directions and updated commands He departs. Then as He predicted most have fallen away, and the future generations followed in disobedience and rebellion.
 
The “Wheels of Time” have repeated this cycle of repentance to disobedience, righteous pursuit to the glorification of the perverse, the lifting of Worship and Relationship with the God of Love and Truth, to the lifting up of the Lie and Deceit.  What would He then do? Does He repeat His past attempts to suppress evil and preserve a righteous remnant? Or does He try to repeat Signs and Warnings to the most influential nation in the world as He did with the Babylonians, then the Persians, and again with the Romans and most recently with the nations that have upheld his ideals and spread his Gospel? In the past those attempts have worked only for a  short time and with each attempt the results have been weaker and less effective. A good example was Nineveh where God sent Jonah to preach, and in due time the evil Empire of Assyria repented.  What motivated them to repent?  Star charts show that there was a Solar Eclipse that happened right before Jonah arrived.  Jesus said to the Pharisees, that to “an evil generation he would give no sign except the sign of Jonah.” Was that the same sign that He just gave to America?  In short time Nineveh went back to its old ways and was totally obliterated by the Babylonians. 
 
We are the strongest nation in the world, with power over trade and currency, domination in language and communication, the world’s entertainer and driver of technology and services, and sadly the greatest producer of perverse, sordid, and anti-family film, music, games, literature, and art. We are the world’s greatest purveyor of gambling, drugs, and abortion aid and services. We drive the world’s economy, lust, greed, and a good part of its addictions. However, America has also been the world’s leader for many decades in defending and protecting victims and the defenseless, medical research and cures, charitable giving and rescue, and the builder and developer of churches, missions, and other Gospel instruments. We have also been the strongest and most consistent supporter of Israel and the persecuted Christian.  It would make sense that God will address America first.

Everyone needs to take a spiritual inventory and an eternal perspective before it is too late!  If you cannot understand, nor concentrate on the Bible it is useless as revelation to you.  Every Word in the Bible is inspired!  It feeds the human soul, just as Jesus said, “My bread is every word that procedeth out of the mouth of God!”  Yes, the Word or Bible is more than just words, it is the living Word that can divide and discern soul and spirit, mind and falsehood, and even natural and supernatural.  Even the words of Shakespeare are meant to tickle the mind and are for entertainment: the Word of God is not!  Understand that there is a real war going on in the supernatural as stated in the inspired  word Paul shared with the Ephesians.  “ For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

 If you devote time with the Creator of the Universe, he will reply to your quest and question.  He will open your own mind and heart up, and remove the fog of fear and pride, giving you knowledge of both the universe and the supernatural. He will reveal Truth to you and give you purpose and an identity that is eternal! He will give you the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things that you cannot see!  Yes, that is what He calls Faith, and it is a free Gift along with Eternal Life.

The purpose of the book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN- The Fig Tree & The Prophetic Generation, is to draw as many people to the Truth in the Bible for this book reflects the Prophecies, Teachings, and Events recorded in God’s message to man.  There are some speed bumps and blind alleys in life, but God uses them to build us up so that we can be a better person and witness.  Likewise, there are some errors in this first edition of the book, but a new edition is now out.

 More than ever in my life- I believe that Christians as a group are at the Crossroad of the Promised Return of the Lord Coming in the Clouds. What legacy are you leaving behind?  Are you sharing the Gospel? Are you preparing your loved ones and others for the rapture, or are you the one that needs to truly repent and believe?  Tell your loved ones that Good News, that Jesus Christ accepts them where they are at!  The God of the Universe has a special Purpose and Plan for them! 
NOTE THAT WHEN THE INITIAL TRANSCRIPTS WERE SENT IN FOR PUBLISHING, THE BOOK WAS SABOTAGED.   You will see the first evidence of this on the very first page on the 3rd paragraph where the name of “Jesus” is mentioned first!  Right after his name there is a capital “Z” placed in the middle of “hiZmself.”
There are at least 9 other changes that were made after they received the final draft!  In one case someone changed the verse chapter related to Matthew 24 to Matthew 9.  Another one adds an entire repeated paragraph.  When reading the book, if you have difficulty understanding it, return to this website for clarification, or email me at “phrescue7@sbcglobal.net,” and I will answer your questions.  The theme and message of the book was NOT changed, nor was the import!  The book is meant as a warning and a “heads Up” to all who read it!  We are already seeing God’s Sign to America playing out with a record breaking “freak” hurricane that struck at the heart of the “Bible Belt” and conservative America just a week after the Solar Eclipse.  In just a matter of one day this category 1 storm turned into a category 4, then moved back and forth over the shoreline for a week of heavy rain and up 134 mph winds! Why would God allow this? America as a nation, will be judged just as was Israel.  God is showing us that ALL of America will be tested.  I believe that Texas is passing the test!  Will what is coming to California/ West Coast,  and the North East/South East be handled with the love and sacrifice that has been seen here? Will we see the next hurricane hitting Florida?  Will extreme cold hit the North this year? I  think even Texas is headed for a record cold winter.
The motion of that hurricane in a sense mimics the movement of Jupiter in the “birth womb” of the Woman of Revelation 12 making this next sign one of its kind and much more significant than the Solar Eclipse. It is also a reflection of the Genesis Prophecy of Genesis 3:15 showing the “seed” in both and the “serpent” wanting to devour it. Like in the Revelation sign the Lion of Judah waits to crush the head of the serpent- its paw sits near the serpents head.  Could the promise of Genesis 3:15 be a foreshadowing of the unfolding of God’s eternal promise to Israel and to the church. AS stated in the book COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN the Solar Eclipse also had a divine link between the Jewish world and the Gentile world. This linkage will be heightened when the feast days approach next month!   Here is the cover to the new book:  
“Offer the sacrifices of Righteousness to the Lord”.  God commands us to offer our actions and thoughts as sacrifices to Him.  Yes our “Right Living” is accepted by God as a sacrifice to Him!  This is our sacrifice that we can offer to Him daily – or for that matter at every minute or second of our life!  We should all offer on a daily basis the sacrifices of Praise and obedience.
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

Cosmic Crossroad Countdown- Bio, Summary, and Excerpt:

THIS BOOK WAS originally WRITTEN 2 years AGO, and DUE TO AN ERROR (SOMEONE SABOTAGED THE PRODUCTION by putting a “Z” on the first page next to the name Jesus Christ), it had to be republished 3 months after being submitted.  At that time my heart was impressed with the need to warn America quickly that the Sign of the Solar Eclipse would bring serious storms and other events  and that America needed to repent of its defiance and sins against God and authority.  We all need to come to the table of reconciliation with forgiveness and repentance.  That first 130 page Book was printed in a hurry to beat the Solar event and so had some fragmentation in the flow.  I have now  republished it with the same data but which clarity and better flow. You will be amazed how relevant it is to today, for every inspiration and insight has Come True.   Dr. Hofmann continues to warn about the countdown that is bringing radical new Beginnings.  Continue reading for the Author’s Bio and Book Summary.

These are the Days of Noah and Judgment Comes: COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN

Is God’s Judgment Coming on America?  Is this a COSMIC COUNTDOWN?

Do you have any clue as to what is happening?  They laughed at Noah as he constructed the Ark and today they laugh at anyone who suggests that God created the earth and universe 6000 years ago  in 6 Days!  If you also think this then rethink your faith and read my book that is coming out next week: THE COSMIC CROSSROAD COUNTDOWN: The Fig Tree & the Prophetic Generation.

Think about the Signs!  The Greek mind has always placed more importance on knowledge and less on Hebrew thinking related to the meaning of names, signs, and wonders.  Well you are about to have your little world of “greek” thinking cast into an ocean of wonder and signs.  Note that about 99 years ago we had another big solar eclipse here in American  and guess what happened that year: the worst epidemic in America’s and the world’s history.  Millions of people around the world died from the flu epidemic!   I am not saying this will happen again, but I will suggest that you prepare for some surprises around the corner.  These surprises will cause  America and the world to quake.

You might also want to take careful note of Daniel’s prophecy of the 70th week which has yet to be fulfilled.  This is a 7 year period: you it is important to realize that 7 years later in 2024 we are having another solar eclipse and this one starts in Maine and ends up Texas.  It intersects this next eclipse at the Madrid fault in Missouri and the area where the Ohio River meets the great Mississippi.

August 7, 2017

The sun will be turned to darkness…before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. Joel 2:31

A few years ago I was teaching through the book of Joel when the ancient words of his prophecy came up off the page. I knew with hair-raising certainty that God’s severe judgment was coming on America! I have taught Joel several times since.  Each time has served to confirm with deep conviction that God is warning America of impending disaster and destruction.

In light of Ezekiel 33:1-6 that commands a watchman to be faithful to warn others of the danger coming against the land, I feel compelled to issue the warning once again. The warning is triggered by the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, nicknamed America’s Eclipse. For the first time in almost 100 years, a total solar eclipse will be seen from coast to coast in our nation.  People are preparing to mark this significant event with viewing parties at exclusive prime sites. The celebratory nature regarding the eclipse brings to my mind the Babylonian King Belshazzar who threw a drunken feast the night the Medes and Persians crept under the city gate.  While Belshazzar and his friends partied, they were oblivious to the impending danger.  Belshazzar wound up dead the next day, and the Babylonian empire was destroyed.

Jewish rabbi’s have historically viewed solar eclipses as warnings from God to Gentile nations. Therefore, my perspective on the upcoming phenomenon is not celebratory. While no one can know for sure if judgment is coming on America, it does seem that God is signaling us about something. Time will tell what that something is.

Please view the following video posted by Australian pastor Steve Cioccolanti.  Pastor Steve articulates the warning in a very clear, undeniable, yet undogmatic way based on his understanding of Biblical truth:

Please be assured that balancing God’s warning is His plea for us to return to Him and rend our hearts in sincere, heartfelt repentance.  I can almost hear the tears in Joel’s voice as he pleads for us to repent and return to God, because “Who knows? He may return and have pity and leave behind a blessing.” (Joel 2:13-14)

Regardless of whether or not the conjecture regarding America’s Eclipse is accurate, we know our nation and our world is in turmoil. Without doubt this is the time for God’s people to get right with God.  To repent of our own sin. To share the Gospel with our neighbors. And to pray that in the midst of His coming wrath, God would remember mercy (Habakkuk 3:2).
