Rosh Hoshanna 2011
Well here we are another year has ticked by. Tomorrow at 6pm in Israel begins another New Year - The Feast of Trumpets - Rosh Hoshanna.
As we have said there is some indication from scripture that the Rapture of the church will be during this high holy feast.
We'll see.
It is been eerily quiet this week. Stock market bouncing back. Greece gets another multi-billion dollar bailout. The UN general assembly ended with a whimper. Of course we know that it isn't over, that trouble is coming and that we certainly appear to be in the season Matthew 24 (this generation will not pass away 5/14, 1948), Matthew 16 (red sky), John 3 (Niccodemus signs).
Perhaps we're wrong. Perhaps His return will be on another day. I certainly don't know the mind of God. Perhaps the year is not ripe just yet. He is exceedingly patient.
I am ready to go. I pray that my heart will be more like His, broken and impassioned for those who are lost.
And maybe just maybe tomorrow or Thursday, perhaps as late as Friday, will be the day. Wonder if anyone will stumble on this little blog over the coming days of trouble?
If so, I grieve with you and encourage you to seek God, question, argue, but pursue Him. You'll find Him guaranteed. And when you do - trust Him completely. Honest when it is unspeakably difficult. Do not put your hope in the government, the banks, the economy, the new world leader and certainly do not take the mark - whatever that will look like.
Put your faith in Him and you will be established.
Blessings

God's judgement of the U.N. and Palestinian actions
Joel 3:1-2 (NIV)
The Nations Judged
“In those days and at that time,
when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
I will gather all nations
and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.
There I will put them on trial
for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
because they scattered my people among the nations
and divided up my land.

Messing with Israel - John Muncie
U.S. disasters after messing with Israel's sovereignty and God's covenant
Genesis 12:1-3 (NASB)
Abram Journeys to Egypt
1 Now the LORD said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
2 And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
3 And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.”
Revelation 17:1-13 (NASB)
The Doom of Babylon
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” 3 And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. 7 And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come. 9 Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, 10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. 11 The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is some thinking that New York City and the Statue of Liberty are those surrounded by many waters. That 9/11 was a warning and that America is the new Babylon.
Of course we don't know. It could be Iran, Russia or lots of places. Of course America is the porn generating capital of the world. Northridge, California was/is? the porn capital of the world. The American life style has led to many modest Muslims to hate us. Divorce, Abortion, Porn, Self absorption, inconsistent selfish hurtful foreign policy, racism, greed, self righteousness, immodesty...
As I said, it seems that God punishes us for interfering.
We have interfered again. Maybe for the last time.
Wonder what God's punishment might look like. Could be anything.
San Andreas, New Madrid, Hurricane, Tornado, Terror, Nuke, Bio weapon, Economic collapse, Nuclear reactor accident, Power grid failure, Magnetic Pulse Attack, Meteor, Comet - there is only One who knows.
I know, but God loves me, He would let...
See Hurricane Andrew, Hurricane Katrina, 9/11, Northridge Earthquake, Gulf coast residents, etc...
If God needs to use your life to reach a world before He closes the door are you willing? Are you willing to give everything?
Will you curse Him and reject Him for trying everything to redeem a lost world before His return?
Lord - as for me and my house we will serve the Lord - Maranatha!!!

To the Jew first and also to the Greek
Interesting that Greece is precipitously close to default and this is the age of the Greeks.
Romans 1:16 and Romans 2:10 ...to the Jew first and also to the Greek...
This last 2000 years (2007 years, using a Hebrew calendar) the door has been open wide to the "Greeks" aka Gentiles.
Now at what may be the end the Greeks are in financial collapse.
Interesting, that's all...

Signs and Prophecy
Look at this long, but abbreviated, list of preachers and writers, from diverse Christian theological positions, who are all preaching basically the same message, regarding the end of the age, the rapture of the church, etc...
At some point you have to say, if God were not in it, it couldn't be this available, consistent and urgent.
No particular order.

Signs
Palestinians to seek statehood in the U.N.
Netanyahu to speak at U.N. before Palestinan bid for statehood
Israeli embassy evacuated in Jordan
Israeli embassy evacuated in Egypt
Palestinian mass demonstrations planned
Matthew 16:2-3
He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ 3 and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.
John 3:10-12
“You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?

The sign of Jonah
Rare sighting of a blue whale off the coast of Maine
Rare sighting of a blue whale pod near Santa Monica
Astonishing California gray whale sighted near Israel
I get it, that just because there are some rare whale sightings, I should leap to prophecy.
How wierd that a Pacific ocean California gray whale would be sighted on the far east end of the Mediterranian.
Blue Whale sightings are rare. These animals are pressed towards extinction. In one week there have been sightings on the east and on the west.
Makes me think that we are once again being reminded of the sign of Jonah. That just as Noah "died" and was "buried" for three days and "rose" again, so too was Jesus dead, buried and resurrected!!!
Everything we see and do should remind us of God, who He is, what He has done and the blessings we have in Him.
His warnings and the events in this rapidly deteriorating world are deafening!
BE READY! TELL SOMEONE!!!

Prepare to meet your maker Pat Robertson
I'll let God be the judge, but I'll wager that Pat Robertson's worthless "Sinner's Prayer" (fake repentance) doctrine and his hatred of marriage (as evidenced in the video below) won't do him much good (please see Matthew 7:21-23).

Remembering 9/11
September 11th, 2001 was certainly a terrible tragedy. I remember exactly where I was when the planes hit: I was sitting at a computer in my middle school's science lab. I left school early and I remember as I was leaving seeing not a single plane in the sky.
...But you know what I should really remember about that day? That approximately 3,000 babies were brutally murdered in the United States having their skulls crushed with pliers or their bodies slowly dissolved in saline solutions.
Approximately one million babies are murdered under cover of "law" in the United States each year. 3,000 x 365 = ~1,000,000.

Harvest moon
Harvest moon
Only 17 days until the next full moon over Jerusalem.
Revelation 14:14-16 (NIV)
Harvesting the Earth and Trampling the Winepress
"I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one like a son of man with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, 'Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.' So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested."

Financial woes
Bank of America
Dow down 300 points - ends below 11,000
Greece out of time
Fed lost and clueless
The great Social Security Ponzi scheme
These are the headlines. I didn't make them up. I didn't hunt all over the web to find the worst news. These are right at the top. MSNBC.
At some point the dam has to break.

Dividing Israel: full bore ahead...

In dramatic move, Turkey turns against Israel
Secular Turkey disappeared last decade with the rise of Erdogan's Islamist party, but no one could have imagined how quickly Turkey would turn against Israel.
Turkey has recalled its ambassador and cut all military ties with Israel. Israel's friend(s) in the Middle East have just gone from 1 to 0.
