TWO DAYS OF QUAKES... HUGE EARTHQUAKES WORLDWIDE TODAY AND YESTERDAY!

Following on the heels of yesterday's post, I am in shock at what has been happening WORLDWIDE today and yesterday:

1. A MASSIVE 8.3 magnitude earthquake struck eastern Russia, north of Japan.  The quake was so powerful that it shook literally all of Russia and much of Europe.  On the polar opposite side of the country, residents of Moscow fled from office buildings as the quake shook the city.

Some incredible quotes from this story:

"If an earthquake can shake Moscow, what’s next?" 

"Moscow is 4,000 miles from the epicenter. That’s like an earthquake in Anchorage stirring your mojito in Miami." 

"'The entire continent was shaken,' Anatoly Tsygankov, head of Roshydromet’s emergencies center, told the Interfax news agency."

2. Separately, a huge 7.4 quake struck near Tonga:

3. Yesterday a 5.7 magnitude quake shook northern California near the city of Greenville.  This was the largest earthquake to strike California since at least 2008.

4. Also yesterday, a 5.1 magnitude quake struck Iran, a 5.4 struck Australia, a 5 struck Fiji, and a 5 struck Papua New Guinea.

5. Today, besides the massive Russian quake and Tonga quake, a  5.1 struck the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.  Aftershocks in Okhotsk registering at least 6.8 were also felt.

Day of Profound Evil

http://anglicanink.com/article/diversity-not-jesus-saves-says-presiding-bishop

Katharine Jefferts, the top leader of the Episcopal Church in the United States (called the "Presiding Bishop"), has given a sermon in which she says "Salvation comes not from being cleansed of our sins by the atoning sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, but through the divinization of humanity through the work of the human will."  In the same sermon she disparages the Apostle Paul as a bigot, who should NOT have freed a slave girl from demonic possession.  She also manages to claim that homosexuality is holy.  SHE IS THE SPIRITUAL LEADER OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.

5 swallowed alive by 33 foot sinkhole in China.

1 Corinthians 15

1 Corinthians 15:20-28 (NASB)

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy that will be abolished is death. For He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.

1 Corinthians 15:50-58 (NASB)

Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Thess 4

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (ESV)

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declare to you by a word from the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Press On - After two days He will revive us

Hosea 6:1-3 (ESV)

“Come, let us return to the Lord;
    for he has torn us, that he may heal us;
    he has struck us down, and he will bind us up.
After two days he will revive us;
    on the third day he will raise us up,
    that we may live before him.
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord;
    his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
    as the spring rains that water the earth.”

Another reason we believe the rapture is very close

ANOTHER movie mocking the Rapture!

Please see two posts down, about a movie that's coming out soon called "Rapture Palooza".  There is ANOTHER movie coming out soon that ALSO makes fun of the Rapture and the Biblical account of the end times: it's called "This is the End".

This is a theory that we've all been paying close attention to:

Rapture mocked, Christ and His White Horse Burned and Killed... Utterly Appalling

Rapture Palooza, a movie soon coming out depicting the events of Revelation, takes a terrible twist: it mocks every part of it.  A man is raptured off of a toilet, and the most disgusting thing I have ever seen: Christ coming through the clouds on a white horse is shot down and shown burning on the ground.  Ready for this sick world to be righted by my Savior.  How dare they depict Him like that.

In other news: all women in New York City are now completely free to be topless in public.  They now have absolute freedom: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/16/nyregion/a-police-roll-call-reminder-women-may-go-topless.html?_r=0

Rapture date - Triumphal Entry 2014

Interesting.  Maybe he's right.  This has been my own conclusion, but no one knows for sure.

Amos 3:7 (NASB)

 Surely the Lord God does nothing
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
To His servants the prophets.

A look at the tetrad dates and the rapture

Much has been made regarding the upcoming 2014-2017 four back to back "blood" moons, all occurring on God's high holy appointment days, along with the possible mid-tribulation event at Rosh Hashanah 2017, aligning with the Revelation 12 prophecy..

Mark Blitz - Blood Moons

Scottie Clark (Eternal Rhythm flow)

Mid-point of the tribulation - Rosh Hashanah 2017

More

7 year tribulation

Mid Trib 2017

Barley harvest

From these many links you can see the awareness of the Revelation 12:1 fulfillment at Rosh 2017.

If Rosh 2017 (September 21st, 2017 and September 22nd, 2017) is the mid-tribulation point of the 7 year tribulation then we should be able to roll forward 3 1/2 years link and come to a hallmark and roll backwards as well.

9/21/2017 or 9/22/2017 + 1260 days Daniel 12:11 = 3/4/2021 or 3/5/2021.
9/21/2017 or 9/22/2017 + 1290 days = 4/3/2021 or 4/4/2021.
9/21/2017 or 9/22/2017 + 1335 days = 5/18/2021 or 5/19/2021

Easter 2021 = 4/4/2021 (match)
Ascension Day 2021 = 5/13/2021
Pentecost 2021 = 5/23/2021

This is what has troubled me.  We believe in a 7 year tribulation  Daniel 9:27  How if the mid point is in the fall, can we end at Rosh 2021, when Christ returns to the earth?  You would think the mid point to be in the spring and the start and end of the tribulation to be at Rosh in the fall.

4/4/201 + 153 days = 9/7/2012 Rosh Hashanah - THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS.

Why this 153 days after the tribulation before Christ puts His foot on the Mount of Olives?  Wierd?

John 21:1-11 (NIV)

Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.

He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn.

Note that this ingathering occurred after the resurrection.  Jesus gives one last opportunity.  He comes back to the Jews and they cast their net on the right side of the boat.  Note that they were not expecting Him and did not recognize Him.

Zechariah 12:10 (NIV)

“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

Now the dates from the mid trib forward make perfect sense.

-----

What about going backwards?  This is the big question for each of us.  If  9/21/2017 is the middle and there are 3 1/2 years before this major mid-trib event link then when is the Rapture?  When do we get out of here?

9/21/2017 - 1260 days = April 10th, 2014.

Triumphal entry 2014 = Sunday, April 13th, 2014.
Good Friday 2014 = Friday, April 18th, 2014.
Easter 2014 = Sunday, April 20th, 2014.

This date doesn't quite line up, but it is awfully close.  Haven't got my mind around that, but how can the rapture be during the spring convocations of the Lord's appointed days, when we have always believed Christ would come for His bride at the Feast of Trumpets in the fall?

This week I discovered that there are 3 harvests.

Barley - First Fruits - Easter Sunday
Wheat - Pentecost
Grapes - Rosh Hashannah

Grapes make Wine.  Wine is used at a wedding.  As in the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.

According to Revelation 19, The Wedding Feast of the Lamb, is not until after the 7 year tribulation.  Interesting.

These links describe a pre-trib Barley harvest / rapture
A mid-trib Wheat harvest / rapture
And a post trib Grape harvest

Encourage you strongly to look at these links:

Three Raptures?

Three Raptures

No wonder their is so much division over the timing of the rapture.  There's three of them.

Just as the Jews couldn't understand Christ's two appearing as a Lamb and later as a Lion, we seem to miss the three ingatherings.

Between today and April 10th 2014 is 332 days.  Between now and the triumphal entry date of April 13th, 2014 is 335 days.  Awfully close.

Perhaps we are close.  Perhaps.

Are you ready?  Who have you shared the good news with this week?

John 14:15 (NASB)
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

John 14:21-23 (NASB)
He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

John 14:28 (NASB)
You heard that I said to you, ‘I go away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

Four times He says in essence, "if you love me, you will...".  Four times the blood moon will shine.

Maranatha!!
