BREAKING: ISRAEL STRIKES IRAN
BREAKING NEWS OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST: Israel has launched attacks against a number of Iranian targets, including possibly in Isfahan in central Iran, an airbase, a number of other key locations within Iran, and a high-level meeting of IRGC and proxy leaders in Baghdad. U.S. officials have confirmed the attack. Iran has previously stated that even the slightest direct retaliation would result in a tenfold response and "unprecedented weaponry." Who blinks first is anyone's guess now.
10/7/23: Hamas war
10/14/23: solar eclipse
4/8/24: solar eclipse
4/13/24: war with Iran
Apparently signs in the heavens are totally meaningless. God can't speak the way He wants to. To the contrary, we ought not presume in such a way that we restrict what God is doing and what He might be saying; we ought not place God in a box of our own making. Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19:1–4; Luke 21:11, 25. Many say we can't have heavenly signs prior to the rapture yet emphasize so many earthly signs, including the nation of Israel, the return of the Jews, Jerusalem, the movement toward a third temple, and much more. The signs are real.

This doesn’t appear to just be a Short-Term Suspension of Flights it seems to be a Mass Cancellation, which possibly indicates that Iran isn’t planning on Reopening its Western Airspace for a while. https://t.co/UN2H4PWUcD

I'm very curious is this will slowly escalate until the "man of sin" steps in or if this is just another flare up that'll die down to a simmer. There's so much in the Bible this could be a prelude to - destruction of Damascus, Gog Magag war, destruction of Elam, or the rise of the anti-christ and the Rapture if the Church. Or all of the above. We can only speculate at this point. But I've certainly got my eyes glued to the news to see where God is allowing things to move!

ReplyDeleteThe R12S itself is a sign of the harpazo to come. September 23, 2017 was a mile marker to the Day of our Blessed Hope. A sign of the seasonal change. The establishment of the State of Israel was also a sign marking the end of days.
What signs should we be looking for now?
29 "Immediately after the tribulation
of those days the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will fall from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens will be
shaken.
30 Then will appear in heaven the sign
of the Son of Man, and then all the
tribes of the earth will mourn, and they
will see the Son of Man coming on the
clouds of heaven with power and
great glory."
RED LETTERS (Matthew 24:29-30 ESV)
24 "But in those days, after that
tribulation, the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
25 and the stars will be falling from
heaven, and the powers in the heavens
will be shaken.
26 And then they will see the
Son of Man coming in clouds with
great power and glory."
RED LETTERS (Mark 13:24-26 ESV)
25 "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,
26 people fainting with fear and with
foreboding of what if coming on the
world. For the powers of the heavens
will be shaken.
27 And then they will see the
Son of Man coming in a cloud with
power and great glory.
RED LETTERS (Luke 21:25-27 ESV)
These are NOT Second Coming events. These are Christ's coming on the clouds, the harpazo, the Second Order of the Resurrection of the Righteous, part two of the first resurrection. Luke concludes,
28 "Now when these things begin to
take place, straighten up and raise
your heads, because your redemption
is drawing near."
RED LETTERS (Luke 21:28 ESV)
John informs us through the Revelation of Christ,
12 When he opened the sixth seal,
I looked, and behold there was a great
earthquake, and the sun became black
as sackcloth, the full moon became
like blood,
13 and the stars of the sky fell to the
earth as the fig tree sheds its winter
fruit when shaken by a gale.
(Revelation 6:12-13 ESV)
These are the same event and all packed with signs of their coming and what was yet to come. The stars of the sky shaken from the heavens are the dragon and its angels. War in heaven physically manifesting itself on earth. A visible display preceded by the resurrection of the dead; seen in the earthquake followed by the Rapture of the living saints -- seen in the removal of the mountains (powers, governments, kingdoms) and islands (peoples and nations).
Will Almighty G-D descend upon earth just as He did at Mt Horeb? Not on a local scale but on a planetary scale? (Exodus 19:16-20) A type of the harpazo to come? It may explain a lot about the sun blackened and simultaneous full blood moon and that which comes upon the earth to the terror of those being left behind.
Hold fast. Do not be afraid of the birth pains. Keep His Name and His Word. His Name is Jesus and His Word is Christ!
We're almost Home!

"Supernatural By Design" on Youtube does a brilliant job with celestial signs & wonders in Bible context & historically accurate references. Today his post https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80EayRXjchg mentions that the Iran Supreme leader's birthday was yesterday! The Haman/ Esther connection is fascinating & subject of several recent posts regarding wars. I consider the phrase "putting God in a box" to be profane foolery. It is more than enough we live in a hellish world where the Bible has been trashed by the sick fallen masses taking over the public forum. ENOUGH with the "BOX"!
ReplyDeleteMy 'congratulations to Israel' for handling the 12 April, 2024 attack exactly as they said they would. CREATOR GOD has a PLAN, and HIS Plan is working. ( and here we are with 'ringside seats'!)
ReplyDeleteLOOK at ALL that we know and are seeing of this wondrously unfolding PAGENT !
"Praise GOD in HIS MAJESTY ! MARANATHA !
Signs and speculation, really are just wakeup calls, but for what?
ReplyDeleteWhat Daniel saw was "in the days of these kings". The toes of iron and clay that grow from the feet (the Moslem Empire) that follow the legs (Rome) in history.
The Jews were not even back in the land when the feet kingdom came and went from history. The toes kingdom is the residue nations from the Moslem Empire who are the kings in the land of Nebuchadnezzar's image when the Jews returned to the land in 1948. Those Moslem kings have had a faction whose one and only purpose is the total annihilation of the State of Israel, and they have been warring toward that end ever since.
That is how the False Deliverer of the Jews (the people of the Prince that shall come) is able to come onto the scene through a peace act; he is a Moslem king who is bringing peace and security to the Jews. "And he shall confirm a covenant with many for one seven."
The Hashemite King is already advocating when he speaks of his fervent hope and vision for a future Judeo-Christian-Islamic culture. "And in this horn were eyes like a man and mouth speaking great things", and "He will win the kingdom by flatteries."
Which kingdom does he win? The ten horned kingdom of which three are uprooted to make way for the little horn and his plan; the ten horns that "receive power for an hour under the beast". The "ten horn's" are the loose confederacy of kings which the beast from the pit will come to command with Dominion in the midst of the week.
The responsibility of the New Covenant followers, as outlined by the Apostle Paul to the Thessalonians, is to WATCH! The Jews and Gentiles (and all of their political dealings) will be like a chronometer that figures time and distance with precision.
Only an awareness of the prophecy's relevance to historical events is needed, that is, you need to know where to look, what to look for, and why you are looking there to see it
On stage right now it appears that the drama of the End Time prophecy of the Jews is being played out, and has been revealed past Isaiah 11:12. Isaiah foretells the return of the Jews to the Land. We are 76 years into the prophecy of Daniel.
So, Lets put our Daniel glasses on!
What do you see?
Well for me, I see the confirmation of the peace happening. The peace is already there since 2000, and now it will become stronger.
The number 47 is interesting. First we have Isaiah 47 (a chapter about the USA?). Then we have the Gospel of Matthew, the 47th book of the Bible (end of the old, beginning of the new). In 1947 we had the first wave of UFO sightings. 47 could be like 4/7, or Independence Day. Independence Day was the title of a film about UFOs coming down.
ReplyDeleteWill Trump be #47? He's already wearing hats that say 45/47.
REMEMBERING MANDISA
ReplyDeleteI don't know if anyone noticed but Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) artist Mandisa passed on April 18 of, as of yet, unknown cause in her home in Nashville. She had a powerful voice and was very open sharing her challenges, pain and trials while encouraging others to overcome. She was born on Shabbat Shuba in 1976; the year of the bicentennial and went Home on the 10th of Nisan -- the day G-D commanded the children of Israel to take a lamb, one for every household. It is also the day that Joshua led the children of Israel across the River Jordan into the Promised Land.
Coincidence?
No. Providence.
l
Mandisa came to CCM via American Idol (AI) and was eliminated from AI on April 5, 2006 or 7 Nisan on the Civil calendar. 7 Nisan of that year remembered the day that Joshua was commanded to begin preparation for their entry into the Promised Land.
Mandisa's career began with the preparation to enter the Promised Land and ended with the crossing of the river and entry into the Promised Land. She so loves the LORD and shared Him with everyone. God's impact through her music and encouragement cannot be calculated this side of Heaven.
Although I didn't know her personally, she had her struggles. We, who are in Christ, are partners in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus. (Revelation 1:9 ESV) She had her's and I and my family have our own. I pray God's compassion and merciful grace fill you to overflowing such that you too are an overcomer by the power of His Holy Spirit!
Grace and peace to you and yours, always,

Heartbroken over this. Interestingly, I've had a drought of dreams for a number of years, but the last few weeks have had several. In two different dreams I was sitting next to Steven Curtis Chapman. I've never seen him in a dream before. His music was very influential to me in my adolescence. I had another recent dream where a man stood, looked at me, raised his arm, and started pointing to his wrist where his watch would go to convey that time was up; but he had no watch on.
DeleteI've had dreams on several consecutive nights of moving to a new place.
DeleteSpeaking of moving, I watched an interview on the topic that UK forces may soon face Putin's forces this year with Hamish de Bretton Gordon stating that direct conflict with Russia could happen as soon as November.
Of course that is his opinion, and others will have a differing opinion -- but I wonder why he said November? This immediately brought to mind the Azovmena Prophecy of Ps Phillip Barnett. With the Bethlehem Star right around the corner as well as Shavuot...and, "Oh!" let's not forget the Red Heifer and wars and rumors of wars -- a move sure seems like it's just around the corner.
Yeah, it feels like time is about up.
31 AD (go forth) + 1993 years (tribulation) = 2024 + 7 years (70th week) = 2031
2017 + 7 "fat" years (peace/Salem) = 2024
2024 + 7 "lean" years (trouble/Nineveh) = 2031
We are, Almost Home
@Pastor Rich:
Delete"2017 + 7 "fat" years (peace/Salem) = 2024"
The years 2017-2024 weren't 'fat' at all, think about Covid-19, the ongoing war in Ukraine which was accompanied by high inflation and a severe energy price crisis in Europe.

DeleteAre you saying it won't be soon because of the 7 years from 2017-2024 were not fat?
DeleteWhen it comes to the word "fat" in a modern context I'm in agreement. There doesn't seem to be anything fat about millions of people dying of CV in the years between 2017 and 2024 -- but that wasn't the point. The point was "Salem" v "Nineveh" (peace v violence perhaps) as seen in the US cities of those names which experienced the Great American Solar Eclipse.
DeleteIf the heavens are declaring His glory, and they are for signs and seasons, what sign was given by the GASE 1 and 2? The pattern of seven year periods is inescapable and thus a pattern of Joseph and a type of the pattern of Christ.
So it's not a matter of national/personal plenty it's a reflection of the themes suggested by the cities "Salem" and "Nineveh" visited by the pair of TSE.
I hope that helps...
ALL EYES ON ISRAEL AND THE MT OF OLIVES?
ReplyDeleteIt's Erev Pesach, Nisan 14, Passover Eve, and the time of the Seder (order) is close at hand. If you have never explored how Christ is reflected in the Seder, I encourage you to get out your Bible and do some honest prayerful digging. It is said that the earliest example of Passover is found in the New Testament. Here are a couple of videos to help get you started,
Passover: Jesus In The Feasts of Israel
Jesus In The Feasts of Israel
Pentecost: Jesus In The Feasts of Israel
But why do I mention the Mount of Olives?
It is there that the Red Heifer is expected to be sacrificed at any time. Yes, Jesus is our Red Heifer. It is by His blood and sacrifice that our sins are washed white. By His stripes we are healed and made whole in the sight of G-D. As children of God in Christ we do not need the blood of bulls. We are justified (and being justified) in Christ alone. We are sanctified (and being sanctified) in Christ alone.
Jesus paid it all.
However, if a physical third temple is to be erected and functionally exist, it will be built according to the pattern understood today by those who seek to build it. That activity, for them, requires the ritual heifer.
How should we respond as Christian brothers in faith?
I suggest praying for the eyes of the blind to be opened. Pray for repentance, revival and the church yet to come in the 70th week. Share the Love of Jesus in your daily life reflecting Him in every way you can. Pray the LORD Himself teach you how to be His Ambassador each day He gives you to all He provides.
Surely as Jesus broke one of the seals of the scroll in Revelation; one was broken for you, sending you forth to conquer, to overcome!
Grace and peace to you this Passover and all the year,

ReplyDeleteIsrael and Iran lobbed some bombs at each other, with fairly minimal damage on both sides. Then things quieted down. This seems choreographed.
ReplyDeleteIf the USA were destroyed by nuclear weapons that would ultimately mean it had fired off enough in response to make nuclear winter a reality all across the globe. And I don't see the Tribulation happening if that had occurred first.
ReplyDelete...consider the sixth trumpet judgment. A third of mankind is killed in conflict.
DeleteThen again, the harpazo could happen just at the onset of global war and, in fact, interrupt it. A limited exchange perhaps? Good questions to ask and explore.
I find it interesting that from the time that we hear,
1 When the Lamb opened the
seventh seal, there was silence
in heaven for about half an hour.
(Revelation 8:1 ESV)
to...
"Release the four angels who
are bound at the great river
Euphrates."
(Revelation 9:14b ESV)
There is literally silence in heaven. No spoken words are heard in this period. This interval of time occupies almost half of the first side of the scroll opened by Jesus. In other words, if the whole scroll is an hour, then almost all of the first side of the scroll is about an half-hour.
When the silence is broken,
15 So the four angels, who had
been prepared for the hour, the
day, the month, and the year,
were released to kill a third of
mankind.
(Revelation 9:15 ESV)
Therefore, by that model, this event happens just before the midpoint and the AoD but happens during the time of the two witnesses.
Not dogmatic on this but it makes me wonder.
It could be that there's a limited nuclear exchange. Personally I happen to believe that the USA is going to be the heart of Mystery Babylon. Why? Our country is the global center of evangelical Christianity. Where are most of the Trib's martyrs going to come from? The USA. We are the country with the largest percentage of Christians who will refuse to take the mark, and so will be killed or imprisoned. So I believe that it's important for the nation to still exist during the Tribulation
DeleteAgreed! Read Jeremiah 50 & 51 carefully. Note the "hammer" of the nations once the Lord's "golden cup" that parallels Revelation's great nation destroyed in one hour.
DeleteNew section added to the latest posting I think some may find interesting. New section is called "GRIZZLY 399 AND “SPIRIT” CUB." The hints just seem to keep on coming. 🤷♂️
