Many prophetic events are seeming to converge in September of 2015. Are all of these pointers out there seemingly pointing to this date coincidence, or disinfo? Or is something really big about to happen in this world as we know it?

Rapture & The Alien Deception, return of fallen angels.
I share this video by Lee Goodall, because it's a concise message of what is going down in these last days, and concerning the topic of deception coming upon the world.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-11

Watch this and you'll know we're in END TIMES, RAPTURE IS IMMINENT
I came across the vid from last year. I didn't see it then, so this is some great news footage of weather/events going on, and a great reminder of the birth pains that Jesus foretold (Matt. 24:7; Lk. 21:10-11)
Luke 21:10-11 10 Then He continued by saying to them, "Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, 11 and there will be great earthquakes, and in various places plagues and famines; and there will be terrors and great signs from heaven.

MAJOR BREAK! COMET ISON BEHIND GOV'T SHUTDOWN! FEMA BODYBAG SHIPMENTS! 1...
I'm not sure what to make of ISON yet, but to be sure, it's being used to usher in the one-world government prophesied in the books of Daniel and Revelation, to bring out the kingdom of the man of Satan, and his rule over planet earth, and the destruction/perversion and death of its inhabitants. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 Jn. 3:8). Through his substitutionary death on the cross, you can have your sins forgiven, washed away by the blood of the Lamb of God (John 3:16-18; Romans 3:25; 1 Jn. 4:10).

If the Rapture Isn't This Rosh HaShanah...
If the rapture doesn't occur this year, look to the scriptures, don't be discouraged! It will happen! Today is Rosh HaShanah, and in the Zohar, the book of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical sect, they predict their Messiah will come in the year 5773 (i.e. 2013).
Christians see this as the antichrist. So I'm wondering how Kabbalists are going to explain this? May they will say, "he came, he just didn't enter into the public view yet, or to the forefront." That seems a probable answer to their question. By the way, Matt Slick, founder of CARM.org, has an informative piece also on the Zohar.

Is The Rapture Now or Seven Years Later?
originally posted as: Is The Rapture Of the Jews?
*I wanted to repost this particular article because for the Pre-Trib believer, it's really coming to the drawing line for the rapture. I certainly pray that this is the correct end-time scenario, but if Rev. 20:4-6 is the timing of the "catching away" Paul describes in 1 Thess. 4:16, this article will help believers put things into perspective. - -
I don't know about you, but when it comes to the timing of the Rapture, through the years I've gone through the gamut of different positions of scriptural teaching. The real problem is that I couldn't reconcile all of the scriptures.
Over the past several years I moved between Pre-Trib and Mid-Trib (or Pre-Wrath) views. But through this time, the LORD has been gradually moving me to understand more about the Jewishness of Christianity. The Apostle Paul taught in his epic work, Romans, that the Gentile believers are like a wild olive branch, literally grafted into the cultivated tree of Israel (Rom. 11:17-21
).
Most who hold to the Pre-Tribulational view of the Rapture see it as a rescue from heaven of essentially the Gentile church, while the Jews go through all the trials of the tribulation and its Psuedo-Christ. In many ways, the Gentile Church did hijack Christianity! But when we start looking at it through the lens of the Jewish author, and making it about the covenant promises Yahweh made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, one starts to understand the passages a little more consistently (at least, I feel like that has been my experience).
Most Pre-Trib believers take 1 Thess. 4:16-17
as the basis for their view, and hold that chapter 5 is speaking of a later event, namely Armageddon. But the one scripture that sounded Post-Tribulational to me, which I could not reconcile within my Pre-Tribulational grid-work, was the passage in Revelation 20:4-5
. It speaks of the aftermath of Christ returning at the end of the 'Seventieth Seven,' the Tribulational period, where Messiah Yeshua defeats the Pseudo-Christ who has taken over the nations of the world. At this point many believers who were executed/persecuted during the tribulation tiime, are raised to life, and reign with Christ for the 1,000 year reign. Scripture says that this is the first resurrection.
The sequential timing spelled out in this passage is pretty obvious. And if we realize that God's fulfillment of his promises of giving the land to the descendants of Israel, did not cease at any point to be about Israel, and pass to the Gentiles, but God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is even today dealing with the nations according to the promise to "curse those who curse [Israel] and bless those who bless [Israel] (Gen. 12:3
)."
The "Old Covenant" did not die or cease the way that most Gentile believers think that it ended. The fact that the Jews are reestablishing their Temple, and will resume it, and that the entire world will celebrate the Feast of Booths under the reign of the Messiah (Zech. 14:16
) It was our justification by faith by grace that was fulfilled in Christ. Yeshua said, "Do not think I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I did not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them" (Mt. 5:18
).
So when Gentile believers re-awake to the fact that the faith is first and primarily a Jewish faith, we understand that the LORD is not promising to make a special rescue of a privileged group. God is fulfilling His promises to Abraham. We are told, the gospel is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, FIRST THE JEW, then the Gentile (Rom. 1:16
). Yeshua told us "Salvation is of the Jews" (John 4:22
).
One of the key scriptural passages that helped me to bring the scriptures together, is Romans 11:15
. Paul teaches us, "If their rejection [of Messiah] is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be, but life from the dead." For me, this verse was key in reconciling together 1 Thess. 4:16
and Rev. 20. 1 Thess. 4:16
speaks of the dead in Christ rising first, and then the remaining believers being caught up together with them, and Revelation 20 speaks of the first resurrection taking place at the end of the Tribulation. These are one and the same! Zechariah 12:10
speaks of Christ returning to save Israel and destroy the nations of the world coming against her. The LORD, Yahweh, says, "Then they will look on Me, whom they have pierced!"
The Jews will recognize that they crucified their LORD and God, and with the spirit of supplication and grace He pours out on them, the receive Him as their Messiah (Zech. 12:10
). And the result will be life from the dead!

The Church; Seeing Signs, Yet Missing It
Being on the road, I have just been in awe of the majesty and glory of God displayed in creation, and so thankful for my relationship with the Father, and with His Son.
The signs that Jesus gave us in Matt. 24 are happening now at an unprecedentd rate, with tornadoes, flooding, hail, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happening all at the same time, in various parts of the nation simultaneously, and the world! It makes for grat ratings on the TV, yet the will not call these signs for what they are, harbingers of Yahweh's near return, so that people may turn from their sins and to the only begotten Son of God, who died and rose again as the atoning sacrifice for our sins, to put us on good terms again with the holy, just Father.
At a recent Travel Center, I picked up a book on A Rabbi's Look at the Last days, by Rabbi Johnathan Bernis. It was a very refreshing read, and his whole line is not on the paricular signs that are being fulfilled, but one that most of us Christians in the line of the Protestant Reformers miss, is the fulfillment of the Jews.
Maybe you haven't noticed. I've spoke of it some on this blog, but today there are more and more Jews that are realing the Messiahship of Yeshua (Jesus), and are turning to him in unprecedented numbers not seen historically. Much prophecy talks about the Jewish feasts, the blood red moon, etc., and it would do us well to take that further, and remember that we Gentiles are only grafted into Israel and the faith of Abraham. IT IS NOT ABOUT US. It is not about the Jews. But they are the people to whom God's covenant promises to Abraham are centered.
As the LORD has drawn my wife and I into the heart of our Jewish centered faith in Yeshua haMashiach, we have realized this more and more. If you have not worshipped with a congregation of Messianic Jews, I recommend you find one and partake with them. But many of us awtchmen have been expecting the imminent timing of the rapture, of which the only sign Yeshua gave was the preaching of the gospel to every ethnic group (panta ta ethne).
But the when the rapture occurse, this will be the resurrection of the dead (1 Thess. 4:16, but scripture must interpret scripture, and we do not seem willing to apply that principle on this doctrine. But what does the apostle Paul tell us? "Fore if ther rejection is teh reconciliation of teh world, waht will their acceptance be but life from the dead." Rom. 11:25. That i swhy the gospel is "the power of God to everyone who believes, first the Jew, then the Gentile!" Rom 1:16.
We have been so blinded to this! Are you making every effort to reach the Jewish people in your life with the love and good news of Mashiach? Let's keep Romans 11:25 before us, and work to bring our Jewish friends to their Messiah. Amen. Maranatha!

UN chief hails Pope Francis as a global spiritual leader
UN chief hails Pope Francis as a global spiritual leader
The UN leader also commented on the pope's choice to name himself after St Francis of Assisi, saying this was "a powerful message for the many goals shared by the United Nations."
"It speaks loudly of his commitment to the poor, his acute sense of humility, his passion and compassion to improve the human condition," he said.
Interesting announcement made from one of the world's chief agencies for the spread of globalism. I wonder how this jives with the militaries announcement yesterday that Evangelical Christians are the country's no. 1 enemy! I guess the recognize the difference between Roman Catholics and Evangelical Christians. The pieces continue to fall into place for the rise of the False Prophet.

5 They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God; he who knows God listens to us; he who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Alien Disclosure (Deception) Imminent?
It seems that from looking on the net, that there is an
increase this year in the number of UFO sightings. Could this have a correlation with the
election of the new pope, who is prophesied to be the false prophet?
It really doesn’t do to write about the coming alien
deception at the head of my blog, and not periodically examine the topic. Recently, it seems reportedly UFO sightings
are everywhere. They seem to be on the
rise in North
Carolina and in South Africa. They also seem to be appearing in volume in Ireland.
Russia also recently had a sighting
on March 6th over Moscow.
Frequently, the images are blurry, but it appears there were four UFOs
that seemingly would merge into one, and then separate again.
Speaking in the post about North Carolina (my native state):
Peter
Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center, said there has been a
dramatic increase in UFO reports since June…
“We have been absolutely inundated with reports lately,” said Davenport.
“The center has received two to four times more than usual these past few months.”
According to the National UFO Reporting Center’s website, approximately 77,000 UFO sightings cumulatively have been reported from around the world.
More than 1,720 of these reports have come from North Carolina.
(http://www.educatinghumanity.com/2013/02/UFO-Sighting-Increase-North-Carolina.html).

We could go on and on ad
infinitum. It appears that the ‘aliens’ are building
up for a disclosure. They are appearing
more and more, and this they have been doing gradually over the past
decades. Though something I pointed out
in a sermon at a church, the appearances seem to manifest more around times
where something significant is happening with the nation and people of Israel.
I think that this is significant evidence to show that these ‘intra-dimensional’
beings have an agenda that corresponds to God’s eternal plan concerning the
nation of Israel (Rev. 12:4, 9, 13).
Many things seem to be building to a climax right now. There are increased threats against the U.S.,
reports of government takeover, a socialist/globalist government agenda (Daniel
7:23).
Will all these escalating matters converge together, in line with Shia
Islamic ideology, that the world Savior (“the Mahdi”) will not come until there
is a time of total global devastation (brought by Muslims, how quaint). The Bible’s teaching, and Christian belief is
that the Savior will come after the world and the masses of rebellious humans,
who refused to love the truth (2 Thess. 2:8-12), enjoy three and a half years
of squalid immorality and inhumanity (Dan. 9:27; Rev. 9:6, 13:16).

Why Does it Seem Like America is Getting Crazier with Each Passing Year? | Worldview Weekend
Why Does it Seem Like America is Getting Crazier with Each Passing Year? | Worldview Weekend
This article by Michael Snyder raises lots of good questions. Christians know the answers to them already though. Our Father has told us all this will happen, and He told us that hard times are coming upon the earth, but for those who turn from sin, place their faith in the Messiah Yeshua, and live their lives then on for Him, that they will have eternal life (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 10:9,10).
And we know who will really rule in the end (Phil 2:9-11, Rev. 22:20).

Pastoral chat
Yesterday I got the delight of meeting with a fellow pastor. In my families’ journey of faith, the Father
God has led us to his congregation to be fed.
It was a real delight, getting to fellowship with a brother in the
faith. Below I'll give an overview of our conversations and meanderings disscussing current events.
Since we’ve only recently come to his church, we haven’t yet
had the chance to sit down and talk concerning the current situation of
world-affairs, and the overwhelming number of Biblical prophecies that are
being fulfilled around us, other than through email links and videos
shared. So we finally got a chance to
sit down and talk yesterday.
It was so refreshing to talk to someone who saw and
understood the import of all that is occurring in the world around us. That in itself is a fulfilled prophecy
concerning the last days: Daniel
12:4 4 "But as for you, Daniel,
conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go
back and forth, and knowledge will increase."
Around the
world, natural and man-made disasters are occurring at a more frequent, and
intensifying pace. The New Age, through
her spirit channelers (mediums in contact with demons, who are liars) tell us that
“mother earth” is traivailing in death throes of survival, and that she is
trying to move into the next dimension, and without cleansing herself (a.k.a.
rapture), she will not make it.
The demons themselves
have laid in place the deception to explain away the rapture of the saints, so
that the world’s populace will not believe God’s word, which He gave to us that
we might be saved from our sins. And don’t
think that people will be able to choose salvation when the rapture
happens (Rom. 8:6-7).
2
Thessalonians 2:10-12 10 and with all the deception of
wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the
truth so as to be saved. 11
For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will
believe what is false, 12 in
order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took
pleasure in wickedness.
If you are
saved after the rapture, you have missed the time of God’s grace, but you may
still find mercy. But it will not be
your choosing (John 15:16). The rapture
is not the end of the world. The saints
will be “caught up” to be with the Lord forever (Rev. 3:10). But this will commence the final week of
seven years for Israel, according to Daniel’s prophecy (Dan. 9:24,27).
Daniel
9:24 24 "Seventy weeks have been
decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to
make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting
righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.
One can see
online the Temple blueprints for the Third temple, which itself will be
destroyed by the end of the seven years, but then will be rebuilt by the
nations of the world, under the leadership of Messiah Yeshua. I think we can go ahead and start calling him
by his Hebrew name. His return is so
close.
But you know,
talking to my pastor friend yesterday, we did in fact discuss the big, “What if”
question. “What IF, it doesn’t happen?” Well, you know, that doesn’t negate the truth
of scripture. It just means that the
rapture is going to take a bit longer than we thought, and that things are
indeed going to get rough for those who profess faith in Christ.
But praise be
to God, who gives us the victory in Christ!
To depart from the body is to be present with the LORD. And what should I choose? I desire to depart and be with Christ, for
that is better by far. 7 But
whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the
sake of Christ. 8 More than
that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing
Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and
count them but [shit ~ for so the
force of Paul’s wording in the Greek] so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not
having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is
through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the
basis of faith, 10 that I may
know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His
sufferings, being conformed to His death;
11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the
dead. Philippians 3:7-12

The Timing of the Rapture
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.
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!

Loud Booms and Ground Shaking in Seven U.S. States!
http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message2072356/pg1?regp=bm9fMTM1NDgzMzg0NQ==
http://investmentwatchblog.com/earth-booms-and-ground-shaking-reported-by-news-in-states-country-wide-within-past-24-hours-dec-5th/
I googled the topic. Seems there's a whole lotta shaking going on, following Japans most recent 7.4 quake, the hurricane/typhoon in the Phillipines. Evidently, Seven U.S. states heard loud booms that no one can figure out.
Scripture says:
Matthew 24:7-8 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth-pains.
Romans 8:22 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.
Romans 8:19-21 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.

The Rapture: According to New Age Channelers
I found this great informative article at Red Moon Rising.
The disappearance of every born-again Christian will be the first in a long line of miracles and fulfillment of prophecy to occur in the last days. The strict fulfillment of events will be powerful evidence of who is in charge. All will know that God is in control but there will still be a great many rebellious souls who refuse to accept Jesus Christ and humbly repent. This is the dark side of Free Choice.

According To New Age Channelers
"The people who leave the planet during the time of
Earth changes do not fit in here
any longer, and they are stopping the harmony of Earth. When the time comes
that perhaps 20 million people leave the planet at one time there will be
a tremendous shift in consciousness for those who are remaining."
