With the end of the Mayan long-count calendar rushing upon us, Dec. 21st is
now 11 days away and counting. That's not yet a full two weeks.
I wanted to write this blog, because there is uncertainty in my mind. Not of
the rapture, that it will take place, but of its timing.
In studying the occult/(Ancient) New Age
doctrine, Islamic eschatology, and finding that it’s very similar (
new order out of chaos ~ also true of
Masons/Satanists)
and that Muslims are
trying to usher in their
Imam Madhi;, the
Catholic prophecy of St. Malachy, that the next pope,
Petrus Romanus, is going to be the
final Pope and False Prophet;
wars
and rumors of wars are heard on almost a daily basis; the weather patterns
of
cataclysmic disasters are
continuing to increase in frequency and
intensity;
because New Agers are teaching that Mother Earth is cleansing herself; the
Mayans, Aztecs, Hopi
and Cherokee all
believe that their paradise plumed serpent god is returning, and a new age is
initiating… and all this is supposed to be converging right at the end of 2012,
as the earth
moves out of the Aries
constellation, and into the constellation of Aquarius.
*Oh, and something I almost forgot, there is so much to keep in mind, which is why this all is statisically amazing that all this would be happening right around the same time, or the same date! We don't make much of the stars, well, unless you're into astrology... but Genesis tells us that the Maker, Elohim created the stars (and the constellations) to... "be for signs and for seasons and for days and years" Genesis 1:14. Could it be that Elohim set a date known only to Himself, and that marker was at the transition into the constellation of Aquarius? It seems likely.
The Psalmist tells us that the skies, "day after day pour forth speech, and night after night display knowledge." God originally created a story of the gospel in the skies, He proclaimed it in the heavens, but Nimrod, the demonic despot who wanted to take the world back to the time before the flood, corrupted the stories of the constellations. I don't have time to develop that now, but can give you some links for your own investigations, here and here.
So the case looks very positive for those who have a hope in
the pre-tribulational rapture, at the onset of the reign of the Antichrist. This too is my belief, though I don’t feel
that I have to set Dec. 21st as the day of the rapture. I believe that it might be tomorrow, could be
right now or in five minutes! But it
could be a pre-wrath rapture, which I believe scripture allows for.
I think it depends upon how you interpret 2 Thess. 2:8:
2 Thessalonians 2:7-8 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is
already at work; only he who now restrains will do so until he is taken
out of the way. 8 Then that
lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His
mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming;
Traditionally, I have understood verse seven to refer to
the Holy Spirit within the true Church.
That seems to me the only plausible explanation of something which could
restrain evil, which is the command Jesus gave His followers before He ascended
to heaven (Mt. 28:19-20). When this ‘force’
is completely removed from the earth, then evil may have its full measure.
If this interpretation is the correct one (and we shall
soon see), the Church must be removed according to ancient scriptures, in order
for the new world leader to come to power.
I don’t necessarily see a contradiction with the Church being left to
see the beginnings of the one world government.
2 Thess. 2:8 could also be understood as “being revealed” as when the
antichrist takes his seat in the temple declaring himself to be God and
blaspheming God and the inhabitants of heaven. (Daniel 7:25). It may be that he is not “revealed,” though
he is working behind the scenes with the 7 year peace treaty. But at the murder of the two witnesses who
were sent from El Elyon, the Most High, this Satanic leader will take his place
in Yahweh’s temple claiming he is God (Rev. 13:3-5).
Either way, the terrific hope is that, for the believer,
to be absent from the body is to present with the Lord (2 Cor. 5:8), but more
than that, a new age truly is emerging, where the Messiah will replace the
kingdoms of this world, and it will fill the entire earth, and all the peoples
of the earth (who return with Christ, and those who live through the
tribulation/judgment period, (btw, according to the first link I gave you on the original message of the constellations, Aquarius was equated with th flood, Yahweh's judgement on earth. Seems fitting the New Age is moving into the period of judgment.)will live in the Millennial blessings of God’s anointed
ruler, who gave Himself for us on the cross.
I’ll let Daniel spell it out for you himself. This vision he received while living in Iraq:
Daniel 2:43-45 43 "And in that you saw the
iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of
men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine
with pottery. 44 "In the
days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, and that kingdom
will not be left for another people; it
will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, but it will itself
endure forever. 45
"Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without
hands and that it crushed the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the
gold, the great God has made known to the king what will take place in the
future; so the dream is true and its interpretation is trustworthy."
Maitreya, Imam Mahdi, Messiah, Ascended Master, whatever
you call him, is about to come, and the majority of earth’s inhabitants will be
killed. But the Antichrist’s reign is
only a short time. Lord Yeshua will come
at the end of seven years in power and glory, and will destroy his foes. People get ready, Yeshua is coming!
