Signs of Change, the Past Week or So, August, 2013

Signs of Change - March 2013 Part 1

This video makes a nice compilation of the many signs that have/are happening over the past few weeks.  Maybe you've seen some of these reported, like the locust swarms in Egypt, or the Florida bedroom sinkhole.  But did you realize that the animal die-offs have not stopped?  I didn't.  It looks like the birth pangs are going nearly full strength!

Coming Disasters in Wake of UN Vote for Palestinian Statehood

I certainly don't want to, nor am I trying to set people to fear.  It just seems like people would learn their lesson, especially world leaders, who've been educated in some of the world's elitest schools.

God told Abraham, the man He called to leave his land, and take him to the land he would give him and his descendents:

Genesis 12:3 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."

Many of the great tragedies that in the past three decades that have happened were all the US or other countries administrations' took actions against the land of Israel.  A great two-part video that can be viewed online that looks at this phenonmena is called Israel Omen. 

God does not change (Heb. 13:8).  The promise made to father Abraham still stands today.  If the nations of the world do indeed vote to legitimize the Palestinian state, as they are saying they will, I expect to see alot of disasters coming upon the nations that vote against Israel.  I am thankful that at present, the US is saying that it stands by its ally in the Middle East.  If they move against Israel, at this point, or any point in the future, there will be grave consequences (pun intended).

Rescuers dig to reach dozens trapped by landslides after 6.9 quake shakes Philippines - 680News

The Phillipines has been hit by a 6.9 magnitude quake, Europe is feeling the hit of winter, and Australia has been suffering more flooding. The scriptures declare:

Romans 8:19-23 19 For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.

Israel in Two? What will this mean for us?

Just recently I posted a blog talking about how September is going to shape up to be a month of upheaval for the world, as the nations align against Yahweh's chosen people, the Jews.  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."
Genesis 12:3

Already it seems things are starting to shape up this way.  Monday there was the largest quake in Colorado since 1967 (http://news.yahoo.com/earthquake-hits-colorado-near-mexico-border-overnight-123015793.html) and just a few hours later the east coast of the USA felt the earth move (http://news.yahoo.com/quake-rocks-washington-area-felt-east-coast-181550612.html).  And hurricane Irene is projected to come into the eastern seaboard just a few days later.  Washington was damaged by the quake, and now will have to deal with Irene. 

It seems like someone is sending a message in light of the upcoming date to impose a two-state solution on Israel, one which will leave the Jews indefensible and subject to the wrath of Allah and the religion of Islam, whose end-time goal is global control and annihilation of all Jews that will not submit.

So what can we expect?  Well, as a youth pastor on the east coast, I'm having to rearrange my schedule for planned events.  But for all of us, we can expect more disasters on the horizon, as the world leaders seek to divide Israel and bring in the new world order (Dan. 7:7,23).  God is faithful to His promises (Gen. 12:3), and His word is being fulfilled.  We are moving into an error of unprecedented terror and horrors for the inhabitants of earth, and especially of those who deny God and do not know Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

Luke 21:25-28 ²⁵ "There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, ²⁶ men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. ²⁷ "Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN A CLOUD with power and great glory. ²⁸ "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

The "new world order" of man will last just a short time.  Great wickedness and persecution is going to prevail around the world, and at the behest of the one world leader, who is at first going to be hailed as a savior, and will come in the name of peace.  But after a seven year period, the true King will return and take His rightful place (Dan. 7:13,14; 2:44)

Daniel 7:13-14

Daniel 2:44 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. ¹³ "I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him. ¹⁴ "And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.

Governments are working now to censor internet communications, and I'm sure that this blog site will be censored, who knows, they may send me home early...  But the new world government will not allow any opposition.  Amen.  Come Lord Jesus!  In these dispensations of grace, the LORD has allowed us to see that, since our original rebellion when we 'became as God,' that we have not been able to rule or attain to righteousness on our own apart from the LORD's interventions in the lives of men (2 Cor. 5:21).

September - a month of Upheaval?

Will the month of September be a time of upheaval that the world has not seen?  Already we are going through a (minor?) solar storm, or which more solar disturbances are to predicted for 2012, and for comet buffs, this next month or October.  In Matt. 24, Jesus quickly describes some of the weather-related phenomenon:
Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes.
And of course, famines can be the result of wars in geographical areas as well (see Rev. 6), but one connection I've noticed in my study of endtime passages, and watching events unfold around us, I believe that the reason that the natural events being as "birth pangs" as the time of Christ's return draws near is based on an ancient promise made to Abraham, father of the faith of Jews and Christians.

In Gen. 12:3 the LORD said:
Genesis 12:3 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 shall be blessed."

It is also predicted that in the last times, the nations of the earth would gather against Israel, and gather together to destroy her (Zech. 12:1-9; 14:1-9).  It comes as a matter of reasoning, that as the nations of the earth gather against Israel, to take away ("divide") her land, that God will curse the nations acting against her.

Of late, seemingly the only nation to bless Israel and stand by her side is Greece, whom Israel has been willing to come alongside.  But here in America, as our presidential administration (who got there by our votes, I might add) moves against the holy land, we have seen some scary, Biblical rebukes, the most recent being the giant wall of sand which swallowed Phoenix, Nevada.

But with the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, the tornadoes blowing through our country, the flooding in the Mid-south states, and the natural disasters happening around the world, as time approaches for the international community to force a "two-state" solution on the Jews, though the Muslim world will not recognize her right to existence, expect to see God cursing the nations that come against Zion, the apple of his eye (Deut. 32:10; Gen. 12:3).

What about the Weather?

Dr. White posted this excellent article on his blog concerning the catastrophic weather phenomenon occuring around us today.

“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes. ” (Matthew 24:7, NASB95)





God has consistently shown Himself to be open to using weather to accomplish His purposes. Just consider a few of the many weather related events that were directly related to the work of God—

·

He sent a flood to clean the earth after “the sons of god married the daughters of men” (Genesis 6).

He sent a famine, and displayed it in advance through a dream, to cause the rise of Joseph to power in Egypt.

He sent a strong wind to part the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21)

He provided great hailstones in more than one battle, bringing victory to the Chosen People.

His Son, Jesus Christ, calmed the winds and the seas.

He predicted earthquakes and will use them to change history (Ezekiel 38:19).

He has promised famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in the end times (Matthew 24:7)

It seems that God has chosen to use weather related disaster to bring judgment on more than one group of people, often related to their treatment of Israel.





On April 13, 2011 on my Twitter account I posted a notice that “America will be punished” if a referenced article (here) was true. The news article said that President Obama was willing to recognize a Palestinian state with 1967 borders. Since that news was made public on April 13, the National Weather Service’s preliminary estimate is that storms have produced more than 600 tornadoes in the United States. The previous record for April was 267 tornadoes, and the previous record for any month of the year was 542 tornadoes. The April 27-28 tornado outbreak in Alabama became (as of this writing) the 6th deadliest day of weather related fatalities in the United States since records began in 1680. (Reference material here.)





In addition to the tornado disaster is the devastating March 11 Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan and the bitter cold winter with record-breaking blizzards in the US this past year. As winter gave way to spring, early heat waves of more than 100 degree days in large parts of Texas, along with severe drought, has spawned 912 fires which have burned 1,650,000 acres of land and destroyed 565 structures.





Earthquakes, tsunamis, blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, floods…the list is endless. While I do not believe that every storm is a warning from God nor every earthquake the judgment of God, it would be undeniable that God has often chosen to use weather and earthquakes to express His displeasure with the actions of man. To deny that an outbreak of tornadoes, an earthquake, a blizzard, flood, or drought could be the judgment of God takes a denial of the obvious.





Several facts are evident—

1.

The earth, and all of creation, groans under the curse of sin (Romans 8:22). The weather patterns we experience today are not the weather patterns God originally created for our planet. Only when our Redeemer comes and begins to reign, and the curse under which creation groans is removed, will we experience weather as God intended it to be.

God has promised unusually strong earthquakes in the end of days (Luke 21:11).

God has said there will be famines and pestilence during the last days (Matthew 24:7).

God has promised unusual cosmic events in the heavens during the last days, such as falling stars, a blood-red moon, and the putrification of water.


I will avoid the temptation to view every storm cloud as a sign of the times, but I will also not fail to recognize that weather is about to give us more and more signs of the end. “The weather outside is frightful” may become less of a Christmas jingle and more of an eschatological reality in the days to come.

The End Comes Like a Flood...

“The end will come like a flood…”


Matthew 24:39 39 and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Mn be.

2 Peter 2:5 5 and did not spare athe ancient world, but preserved Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;



I don’t know about you, but it seems like things are happening almost too fast to be writing about.



People have said for ages that “things have gone this way for thousands of years!” Indeed they have. But now events are escalating, just as Jesus taught, “these things are the beginning of birth pangs.” In the Bible, God says that everything should be judged on the testimony of two or three witnesses.



In keeping with His characteristic faithfulness, the Lord gives us a number of categories, which can be broken to subcategories, to judge His return. These categories are



1) Return of Israel,



2) Natural Disasters/Catastrophes,



3) Wars/Globalization,



4) Religious Movements Offering a Works Salvation/False Christs



5) Proclamation of the Gospel to All Nations (Matt. 24:14)

*These five categories can be read about in Matthew chapter 24.



The purpose of this blog is not to detail all five of these categories, but to bring the enormity of signs the Lord has given to us to be able to discern His returning. In fact, in Matt. 24:33, Jesus says, “so too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.”



This morning as I typed, CBN news reported the amount of earthquakes in Oklahoma have increased tenfold!

The year 2010 began with a deadly earthquake in Haiti. But before the year ended, more than 20 earthquakes struck worldwide, reaching a magnitude of 7.0 or higher -- the largest number of major earthquakes in 40 years. That trend is continuing, most recently in New Zealand.

There was a 5.4 magnitude earthquake in southwest China, near the border region of Myanmar.



In April of 2009, if some of you remember, 300 tons of Sardines, fish and 1300 penguins washed ashore dead in Chile. As of March 8th, 2011, millions of dead Sardines wash up in Redondo beach, California. Earlier in January of this past year, birds were falling dead from the sky by the hundreds and thousands everywhere from Arkansas to Sweden



In researching the sources for this, UFO Chronicles makes an attempt to connect the dead birds and fish… I mean, it all did happen at the same time. Cosmic coincidence? Not likely. But the UFO Chronicle’s story was cut short right after “What Bible Prophecy says” At the hyperlink, it is reported the article was removed due to “violation of terms.”



It seems that hostility toward Christians or even conservatives or those who hold Judeo-Christian values, is on the rise. In Germany several parents of school children were jailed, because they did not want their nine and ten-year olds being made to participate in a mandatory same-sex education class, where the children have to participate in an interactive play.



According to the attorney, many Christian parents objected to the programs' content. "They believed that under international law and [under] German law, they had every right to remove their children from those classes and instill in their children their own Christian beliefs about sexuality and love and marriage and chastity -- and for this, ten parents have been sent to jail."



In seminary, it was told us by our seminary professor, that Europe is about 15-20 years ahead of us. That was five years ago we were told that. I’m not so sure the gap is so great now. The desensitization towards immorality and vulgarity on societies has gone a long way, and with the advent of personal technological gadgets, even Christians have a hard time sitting down to read and meditate on the Bible.



Not only in Germany is this discrimination by political elites and agencies on the rise, but also in America. One of the board members of NPR was caught on tape lambasting tea party goers as racist, and saying it was some sort of fringe “evangelical Christian” group. Ummm…. Let me check, Christians view all humanity as created in the image of God, and able to find reconciliation to their Maker if they repent of their sinful ways, and confess Christ, who died for them, as their Savior and Lord. Therefore, Christians (who by the way, in America are becoming a minority of world Christians) can not be racist. And this blog is not the place to speak of all the good Christianity has brought the world. And no, Roman Catholicism is not Christianity, it is a Christian heresy that teaches salvation by works, denying the central message of the New Testament.



Which is another point of concern, the man known as “America’s Pastor,” who sold millions of copies of the Purpose Driven Life, is beginning to show his true colors. Besides being on the board of Tony Blair’s ecumenical organization, which seeks to unite the world religions, he has instituted a program at his church this year, known as the “Daniel plan,” using a Biblical name to give it legitimacy. To lead his parishioners in this plan, he has brought on board three doctors who are new age proponents.



To the shock and dismay of many Christians, a well-known, intelligent and zealous pastor, John Piper, has decided to stand by Warren for a second time. Many are defending him in this move, and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but many others feel that this give legitimacy to Warren and all his teachings, which, according to the New Testament teachings, would make him considered anathema (Gal. 1:8-9).





Finally, one more category that I would like to mention, that is on most everyone’s radar screens right now, especially as it drives our gas and inflation rates up, is the Middle East tensions. I haven’t spoke too much of the uprising in Libya until now, but it is addressed in the Bible, playing a large role against Israel in the last days, in Ezekiel 38. Joel Rosenberg wrote a nice piece on this on his blog. But essentially, the uprisings are moving the whole world along in God’s prophetic plan, and the nearing day of Messiah.



Gas and Oil prices continue to climb in the midst of this unrest and governmental wars of the peoples revolting against their governmental leaders, kings in most cases, within the Muslim countries. But as the prices continue to rise, and everything else along with it, and the spirit of anarchy spreads and grows worldwide, this whole situation could lead us right into the one world government.



If the spirit of unrest continues to grow, and war breaks out in America, and nations are made into military states, then the U.N. would be able to seize control, and impose upon the world the Global socialist system by which they could consolidate power and money. And then the one-world leader could arise, the Maitreya, the world-teacher, that New-Agers are awaiting, the Psuedo-Christ spoken of in scripture as the man of lawlessness.



23"Thus he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.

24'As for the (AL)ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.

25'He will (AM)speak out against the (AN)Most High and (AO)wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make (AP)alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a (AQ)time, times, and half a time.

26'But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be (AR)taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.

27'Then the (AS)sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an (AT)everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will (AU)serve and obey Him.'

(Daniel 7:23-27)
