Christmas 2011

In the first edition of The Maya (1966), author Michael D. Coe suggested the date of December 24, 2011 as one on which the Maya believed "Armageddon would overtake the degenerate peoples of the world and all creation." Also associated with this date was a catastrophic earthquake that would cause a one-world government to assemble and intervene.
On December 13, 2011, Dutchsinse gave an earthquake update in which he stated the west-coast of the US was due for a 5.0 – 6.0 quake in the next two weeks, which is not devastating. Geologists and prophets are expecting the Big One.
I have heard journalists and military experts say that if Israel was going to take out Iran's nuclear facilities it would have to be before winter. Since Christmas Eve isn't important to Jews, and news outlets give their major reporters time off, maybe it would be an opportune time for Israel to make a pre-emptive attack. The US has pulled its troops out of Iraq and may have left some fuel behind for Israel to refuel its jets.
Jesus was not born on December 25th, but legends say Mithra(s) was born from the rock on that day. Mithra was linked to the Sun and bulls, like Egyptian god Ra. The Vedic word mitra means “to bind” and is associated with judgment. So it would be interesting if the world sought to mete out 'justice' on that day against Israel after their “pre-emptive” strike against Iran who has been at war with them through Hamas and Hezbollah for over a decade.

“12And the sixth angel poured out his vial on the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” (Rev. 16:12-16)

If Israel strikes Iran militarily, that doesn't mean troops of the world will be on the ground at Megiddo the next day. Though Turkey caused the Euphrates to dry up in 2008, they would need to do so again for the Muslim armies to cross it and fulfill the sixth vial. Now that US troops are out of Iraq, Muqtada al-Sadr can revive his Mahdi Army. Notice that our Savior places a note of His second coming in this build up toward the battle at Megiddo. For Jesus Chirst will come and gather His saints and we will join Him in destroying the armies attacking Israel as His warrior Bride.

The Prophetic Timing of Jerusalem's Destruction

Creator God has consistently given Isreal the exact timing of their judgment, and has given prophets forewarning of that exact timing. Bible teachers have been lax in their duty in this regard, and so many believers will be unprepared for the return of King Jesus to judge the world.

Destruction of Jerusalem (summer, 9th of Av, 586 BC and 70 AD)
According to Eusibius, Nebuchadnezzar II reigned 607-562 BC (20 months viceroy, 43 years sole king). In Jehoiakim's third year (607-606 BC), Nebuchadnezzar II, as viceroy, took thousands of people back to Babylon with him, including the brightest young men, like Daniel. Jehoiachin was taken to Babylon along with Ezekiel and others in 599 BC. In the fifth year of Jehoiakim's captivity (594 BC), the LORD told Ezekiel to build a model of a siege of Jerusalem and to lay before it in chains on his left side for 390 days for the iniquity of Israel, and then on right his side for 40 days for the iniquity of Judah; with each day representing a year of siege (Ez. 4:1-17). Ezekiel (35:5) later explained the end of their time of iniquity would be the time of their calamity when Edom (Seir) shed the blood of Israelites, which is verified by Obadiah 1:12-14 and Psalm 137:7 to be the time of Jerusalem's destruction when Edomites cheered and killed refugees who were escaping in 586 BC.
The 390 days equalled the 390 years of Israel's idolatry from the golden calves which Jeroboam established in the beginning of his reign in summer 975 BC (which was his first Tishri regnal year of 976-975 BC) until the destruction of Jerusalem in summer of 586 BC. Now 976 - 586 = 390 years. This included Jeremiah's seventy year prophecy (Jer. 25:11 and 29:10) which began with the first transportation into exile by Nebuchadnezzar in 606 BC and ended in 536 BC when the first exiles returned to Jerusalem with Ezra under the decree of Cyrus. (Ezra 1:1-3:1 The decree was in the first year of Cyrus as emperor, and they left in the 7th month.) The remaining 40 years, a generation, of judgment upon Judah was the 40 year period from 30-70 AD of which Jesus declared their guilt and prophesied their punishment. (Matthew 21:31-38; Luke 11:47-51; 21:20-32) The destruction of the 2nd Temple in 70 AD completed the punishment for their sins according to Daniel's 70 week prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27). The destructions of both the first and second temples occurred on the 9th of Av (II Kings 25:8-10 plus two days to round up captives and loot the Temple); God getting the point of the exact timing of His prophecies across.

Peter and Paul were martyred in 67 AD, but they saw the growing persecution, and were aware of Christ's “generation” prophecy soon to be fulfilled. By this time many priests had come to faith in Messiah (Acts 6:7). So the “house of God” could rightly be referring to the Temple (Mat. 23:38) and the body of believers (I Peter 2:5).

“Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Why let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as to a faithful Creator.” (I Peter 4:16-19)

time is kairos
judgment is krinos

The final 3.5 years of Daniel's 70th week and “Jacob's trouble” occurred from 66-70 AD, culminating in the destruction of Jerusalem and over one million Jews. Similarly we will soon culminate the 3.5 years of Revelation and God's judgment of the world which will center on their hatred for Jews and Jerusalem. When Jesus was in the process of fulfilling Daniel's 70th week, Jews had a hard time accepting a man from Nazareth, and He chided them for not knowing the day of their visitation (Luke 19:45); and King Jesus will return on an exactly prophesied day and year again.

“. . . they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” (I Peter 2:12)

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. . . . But of the times and the seasons [kairos], brothers, you have no need that I write to you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail on a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” (I Thess. 4:16 - 5:4)

From Paul's teaching, the 'day' of Christ's visitation is Feast of Trumpets, just like it was in 3 BC when Messiah was born. From Daniel 12:10-12, the year is 2012 based upon the pivotal year of 1967 when the Jews retook Jerusalem. Please prepare yourselves for LORD Yeshua's return and His judgment upon the world as He fights from Jerusalem.

Obama Fulfilled 'Sitting' in 'Temple'

On September 11, 2011 Obama quoted Psalm 46 at Ground Zero.
This fulfilled II Thess. 2:3-4 again.
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.”
“That day” is of Christ's return; see II Thess. 2:1 “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”.
“Falling away” is Chrislam and other heretical beliefs.
“Son of perdition” is Barack Hussein Obama.
“Opposes” is antikeimai which also means adversarial.
“Exalts” is huperairomai which also means 'over'-reach or raise 'over', or haughtiness.
“God” is theos which also means a deity, especially the supreme Divinity; and figuratively a magistrate according to Strongs Concordance.
“Worshipped” is kathidzo which also means appoint, or confer a kingdom according to Thayer's Concordance.
“Showing” is apodeiknumi which also means 'off'-'showing', or showing off.
“Temple” is naos which also means any heathen temple or SHRINE according to Thayer.
The Temple in Jerusalem was known as hieron, which is a word built upon the first part of the city's name Jerusalem, which means 'to teach peace'; salem being peace. Hieron is used in the Gospels and Acts and once in 1 Corinthians 9:13. A common word for dwelling or tent, naos, was also used to refer to the Temple as well as other places, like the shrine of Diana (Acts 19:24).
Substituting other meanings, here is another possible translation for II Thess. 2:4
“Who is adversarial and haughty above all called magistrates or confering a kingdom, so that he as magistrate sits in the shrine of a diety showing off himself that he is a magistrate.”
No clergy was allowed at the Ground Zero Shrine, so Obama could confer his spiritual kingdom upon his country as their supreme magistrate.

Psalm 46
“1God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." -- He will be our only help this coming year, because of the devastation coming upon the Earth.
“2Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the middle of the sea; 3Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” -- The Earth's axis has moved before, but it will be worse. There's still a debris field afloat in the Pacific from Japan's quake and tsunami. Earth has been having a 6.0 quake almost daily around the Pacific Ring of Fire. The Cascadia subduction zone recently had a 6.4 quake relieving pressure there, so California better prepare for the Big One.
“4There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.” -- In the millennial temple of Ezekiel, the river of life flows from the throne of God and brings healing.
“5God is in the middle of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” -- I think Scriptures in Daniel and Matthew point to Christ's return at midnight on Rosh haShanah, September 16, 2012; so this verse may point to Messiah destroying the armies of the wicked attacking Israel at dawn on September 17th.
“6The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.” -- The U.N. military leaders won't like having their armies destroyed. On September 18, 2012, Almighty God will destroy the Earth He created with fire (II Peter 3).
“7The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. 8Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he has made in the earth.” -- Jesus/Yeshua will be with us, keeping us safe in the New Jerusalem during this time of the destruction and creation of a new heaven and Earth. After our 7-day wedding feast, we will return to an edenic world on Yom Kippur.
“9He makes wars to cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow, and cuts the spear in sunder; he burns the chariot in the fire. 10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” -- This either continues the theme of the wicked armies and Earth's destruction by fire, or goes ahead to the final destruction of Gog and Magog at the end of the millennium.
“11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.” -- YHWH/Yeshua renamed Jacob as “prince/victor of God”- Israel. Security isn't found in caverns of concrete, but in the Savior, Jesus Christ, the LORD!

But Obama did not “sit”, he stood to read Psalm 46. The first time Obama, the “son of perdition”, fully fulfilled II Thess. 2:3-4 was on July 24, 2008 in Berlin, Germany. Obama visited the Pergamon Museum which was built to contain the altar of Zeus (“seat of Satan” Rev. 2:13) that was transported from Turkey prior to Hitler's rise. Please watch a special video on it at http://www.cbn.com/700club/features/churchhistory/pergamon/ After Obama gave “The World that Stands as One” speech in front of Hitler's victory column and war goddess at Hitler's hoped for 'world capital', German radio declared Obama would be “the next president of the United States . . . and the future president of the world.”
We understand how demons have dominion over areas (“prince of Persia”) and objects (idols, I Cor. 10:19-20). So we can understand that by Obama being in Hitler's 'world capital' and touching the “seat of Satan” which is the altar to the Greek deity Zeus, that he became possessed by Satan like the first “son of perdition” (Judas, Luke 22:3 and John 17:12).
Substituting other meanings, here is another possible translation for II Thess. 2:4
“Who is adversarial and haughty above all called dieties or worshipped, so that he as a diety SITS in the shrine showing himself that he is a diety.”
Obama needed a 'spiritual' experience to prove to himself (“showing himself”) that he really had the power to pull off becoming president of the United States and the world. He then ordered a stage to be built which replicated the altar of Zeus for him to give his acceptance speech for the democratic presidential nomination, just as Hitler had a replica of it built for his speeches. Satan is their source of power; replicating Satan's throne reassured them that Satan had fully empowered them to take over the world.

“Mystery Babylon” to be Hit

“And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration [wonder].” (Rev. 17:5-6)

Today, when I heard hurricane Irene had hit Babylon, New York; I had to look it up on Google maps. Yup, there it is on Long Island. New York City is a part of “mystery Babylon. The following is from “Awake, Bride”, p. 265-266 on how New York City related to Revelation 11:8-12:

“During the Revolutionary War New York City was greatly damaged twice by fires, laid siege to, and many battles were fought there with patriots crying, "No king but King Jesus!" From 1788 to 1790, New York City was the capital of the United States of America. (Jerusalem is Israel's capital in which Jesus was crucified as King of the Jews, and later laid siege to and burned.) New York City is currently the most populous city ("great city") of the United States with over eight million people, and it is the city with the largest Jewish population outside of Israel (like Egypt housed the Hebrews for hundreds of years). It also has a large homosexual community ("Sodom"). The two olive trees and two candlesticks represent God's two anointed 'sons' (Zechariah 4:14), Jews and Gentiles. 'Witness' is another word for 'martyr'. Those who died in the 9/11 attacks were martyred for living in a Christian country which protected the Jews.
On September 11, 2001 Islamic terrorists flew planes into the Twin Towers, and almost 3,000 people from 90 different countries died. The Muslims in Palestine were shown dancing in the streets and celebrating by passing out candy. This was the "white horse" of the first seal. Muslims have been slaughtering Christians around the world and leaving their corpses to rot. The "three and a half days" refers to the 3½ years of the Great Tribulation in which there will be more martyrs. The slaughter of believers will continue and increase until Rosh Hashanah, September 16, 2012 when the heavens and earth will shake at the Lord's coming, and He will call His people to Him.”
3,000 is the number of calf-worshippers killed when Moses came down from Mt. Sinai with the 10 commandments of YHWH (Ex. 32:28) on the very first Feast of Weeks, and 3,000 is how many got saved when the disciples proclaimed the wonders of God in different languages on the first Feast of Weeks, called Pentecost (Acts 2:41), after Jesus ascended to heaven. That about 3,000 were killed at the opening of the first seal to me means Jesus is preparing to return from heaven.
That America soon went to war against Babylon, Iraq is also interesting, because Peter preached to the expatriate Jews in Babylon, and established a church there that has lasted for 2,000 years. Yes, the real Mesopotamian Babylon, not Rome. Recall, because of their idol worship, God sent Nebuchadnezzar to carry the Jews into exile in Babylon beginning with Daniel and his three teen-age frieds. (Daniel died in Mesopotamia, and the Muslims venerate his tomb.)

“Then God turned, and gave them up to worship the host of heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O you house of Israel, have you offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space of forty years in the wilderness? Yes, you took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which you made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.” (Acts 7:42-43)

“The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, salutes you; and so does Marcus my son.” (I Peter 5:13)

Though Babylon, Iraq has been a center of power for anti-christs and their religions which worship the moon and stars, the religious center moved to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. The black cube containing a black meteorite is called the Kabba which Muslims walk around and pray towards. It used to be a harem of religious prostitutes to many gods, but Mohammed through all of them out except the moon god and declared it to be the diety, al-ilah (Allah). It is the base of wickedness transferred to the desert (Zechariah 5:2-3, 6b-11). A few miles from Mecca on the coast is the busy seaport of Jeddah. Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest countries on earth to which all kings have had to 'kiss up'.

Babylon, Iraq has been subdued, but it will rise up again with the Mahdi army soon. Since the beginning of the 6th trumpet on August 23, 2011, God has cracked American icons, and New York has been hit with a hurricane which has paralyzed its subway system. It seems that “mystery Babylon” Mecca-Jeddah is due to be hit this fall during all the close asteroid movements and meteor showers.

“And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like to this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. Rejoice over her, you heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets; for God has avenged you on her. And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.” (Rev. 18:18-21)

I may have misunderstood the timing of the 5th and 6th seals. They may come close together to “avenge” the righteous blood of the saints. If so I would break the 6th seal into two parts, with the first part coming with the great earthquake about to hit the West Coast followed by the asteroids and meteors and the tail of Elenin this fall.

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, do you not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given to every one of them; and it was said to them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brothers, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, see, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, even as a fig tree casts her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.” (Rev. 6:9-13)

Dormant volcanos in the western United States have already been venting. A Santa Barbara hillside is venting. Citizens in San Diego county smell burning petroleum and 'rotten eggs' (sulfur); precursors to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. If the ring of fire on the west coast does what happened to Japan on the east side of the Pacific, all the ash would block out the sunlight. Pray that the volcanic activity does not set off the supervolcano at Yellowstone.

And the last part of the 6th seal, right before the 7th seal, 7th vial, and the final 7th trumpet of Messiah's return at midnight (Jerusalem time) on September 16, 2012.

“And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every slave, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Rev. 6:9-14-17)

Ask God how you should prepare, and what you should do, if anything. Stay close to Jesus and your loved ones.

Bride in New Jerusalem while Earth Burns

The New Jerusalem of Revelation 21 is described as a huge cube with a side length of about 1350 miles with twelve gates. It would crack the Earth's crust, so I think it will orbit earth; and after Christ establishes His millennial kingdom on Earth, “the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it” (Rev. 21:24). In Hebrews 12:22 the New Jerusalem is called “mount Sion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.” The New Jerusalem is the Bridal chamber Jesus said He was preparing for Us (John 14:1-3), a royal pavilion. A pavilion is a large, luxurious tent often used by kings and nobles (see Jer. 43:10).

“For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up on a rock.” (Psalm 27:5)

I am post-trib, and believe at Messiah's one return, believers will be “translated” like Enoch (Heb. 11:5) and be visibly (to those left behind) taken up “into heaven” like Elijah (II Kings 2:11). Read that chapter and you'll discover that Elijah, Elisha, and all the prophets of three towns knew the day Elijah was going to be translated by YHWH. From discovering the year of 2012 from the end of Daniel (12:9-12) and Rosh HaShanah (the unknown day and hour, or the 'hidden' day) from Mat. 24, I arrived at September 16, 2012 as the day of Christ's return. The description of the stars in Rev. 12:1 occurred on Rosh HaShanah, September 11, 3 BC, Jesus' birthday; that's why He opened the first seal on September 11, 2001. Certainly believers would know the true birthday of their LORD and recognize they were living in the last days. But I didn't until I trashed the “doctrines of men” and allowed God's Holy Spirit to teach me eschatology from His Word. I did not 'predict' a sign from heaven would occur on August 23, 2011; I simply counted 391 backwards from September 16, 2011 for the beginning of the 6th trumpet (Rev. 9:14-15) and vial. Israel did a surgical strike and killed a Islamic Jihad member that day, and God shook the East coast and cracked symbols of America without killing one person to give a final wake-up call before one-third of mankind is killed.
Counting backward 1260 days (Rev. 11:2-3) that brought me to April 6, 2009. I knew the "son of perdition" would have to be in power for the entire 3.5 years (x 360) of 1260 days of the time-period John gave in Revelation for the period in which the "temple court" (the Temple Mount, not the Temple itself) would be trampled by the Gentiles; this is what I call the "great tribulation" (Rev. 7:14) - there is no 7-year tribulation. John never says 7 years or two 3.5 year periods. Rev. 11:2-3 makes it very clear that the "great tribulation" to which John refers is a 3.5 year period. Jesus said, "In this world you'll have tribulation", so basic tribulation has been ongoing for 2,000 years. I believe the 3.5 year period of 66-70 AD which concluded Daniel's 70th week was a microcosm of what will happen to the whole world; in the end the world will be destroyed by fire (II Peter 3).

Throughout the Bible September 16, 2012 is known as “the day of the LORD” which is often shortened to “the day” or “that day” of Messiah's return to judge the Earth and resurrect the righteous.
Let's take a look at Isaiah 26.

“1In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. 2Open you the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in. 3You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you. 4Trust you in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:”

Note the similarities to New Jerusalem, a 'strong city' with 'gates' for 'righteous nations'.

“5For he brings down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he lays it low; he lays it low, even to the ground; he brings it even to the dust. 6The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7The way of the just is uprightness: you, most upright, do weigh the path of the just. 8Yes, in the way of your judgments, O LORD, have we waited for you; the desire of our soul is to your name, and to the remembrance of you.”

In contrast those of the proud and 'lofty city' will be tread down by the 'poor' in spirit in their new resurrection bodies as they join their LORD in pouring out His judgments (Psalm 149:6-9), so that even the heathen will declare Yeshua is LORD.

“9With my soul have I desired you in the night; yes, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. 10Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD. 11LORD, when your hand is lifted up, they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yes, the fire of your enemies shall devour them.”

Even now people still say these 'natural disasters' are not the work of the LORD's hand. Fire will devour them.

“12LORD, you will ordain peace for us: for you also have worked all our works in us. 13O LORD our God, other lords beside you have had dominion over us: but by you only will we make mention of your name. 14They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore have you visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. 15You have increased the nation, O LORD, you have increased the nation: you are glorified: you had removed it far to all the ends of the earth. 16LORD, in trouble have they visited you, they poured out a prayer when your chastening was on them.”

Isaiah recounts the history of Israel and how the ten tribes were carried off into Assyria to chasten them for worshipping other gods.

“17Like as a woman with child, that draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain, and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in your sight, O LORD. 18We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.”

Because of their idolatry, Israel was not fulfilling its purpose during the divided kingdom. But at the end of the “birth pangs” we are in now, Yeshua Himself will establish His everlasting kingdom.

“19Your dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, you that dwell in dust: for your dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.”

Isaiah encourages the people that in the 'regeneration' they will be able to live again with joy.

“And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, That you which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundred times, and shall inherit everlasting life. (Matthew 19:28-29)

“20Come, my people, enter you into your chambers, and shut your doors about you: hide yourself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be over.”

Refer back to Psalm 27:5. After Yeshua takes us to New Jerusalem, the door will be shut, and the Earth will be burned. It will be a "little moment" about a day to purify the earth by fire, and we will enjoy the wedding feast for 7 days until we return to a new Earth.

I think He even gave us the time on Rosh haShanah of His return, at midnight Jerusalem time.

“And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him. . . . And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But he answered and said, Truly I say to you, I know you not. Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes.” (Mathew 25:6-10)

21For, behold, the LORD comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.”

(end of Isaiah 26)

The LORD shall avenge the righteous blood of the saints (Rev. 6:10 and 19:2), and the innocent babies which have been slaughtered by the millions. The earth groans under the weight of that blood-guilt.

“For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.” (Romans 8:22-23)

HalleluYah, our Bridegroom has purchased Us with His blood, and is coming to redeem His purchased possession. But Messiah will not rape us, there will be the 7th and final trumpet, and the shout “Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him.” Be ready for that final act of obedience to respond “YES” when the shout comes. Do not turn back like Lot's wife (Luke 17:32).

I love doing Bible studies; I can do it for hours. Others can pray for hours, and I am amazed. We all have different gifts, use yours to the fullest in this final year.

Fulfillment of prophecy on August 23, 2011

Recap regarding how I arrived at the date of August 23, 2011 for the beginning of the sixth trumpet and vial.

In 2007 I began earnest study of the “feasts of the LORD” and their prophetic fulfillments. I discovered Messiah fulfillfed the Spring and Summer feasts in order at the end of His first coming. Yeshua became our Lamb sacrifice on Passover, He was entombed as the Sinless Savior during the feast of unleavened bread, and He rose the third day on the feast of first fruits. Yeshua is the resurrection and the life! He physically walked and ate with His disciples for 40 days in His resurrected body, and then ascended to heaven; and sent them His Holy Spirit 7 days later on feast of weeks (pentecost). 3 + 40 + 7 = 50 days

I discovered that the first fall feast was not named, nor was it known when to celebrate during Messiah's time on earth, because the Sanhedrin had to verify/sanctify the new moon; so it was the only feast no one knew the day nor hour to celebrate it. Jesus had answered His disciples exactly which day to expect Him to return. Those who know the feasts of the LORD, know Messiah returns on the “memorial for blowing trumpets”. The memorial of Joseph being raised by pharaoh to power and given a wife. In Hebrew ceremonies, the groom arrives after sunset to escort his bride to the wedding; he steals her away like a 'thief'.

“But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail on a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.” (1 Thess. 5:1-4)

After some study, I knew Daniel predicted the year of Messiah's first coming as the Prince when God declared “This is my beloved Son” at His baptism in 29 AD, 483 years from Artaxerxes decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem. By reading commentaries prior to the 1800's I learned it was traditionally accepted that Messiah then made a covenant of faith with many Jews, and was cut-off in the middle of the “week”, 3.5 years into His ministry. The remaining 3.5 years “until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured on the desolate” was fulfilled during the Israel-Roman War from 66-70 AD in which the Daniel's “holy city” was burned and destroyed.
As I read the entire book of Daniel, I discovered there was more than one “abomination of desolation”; in particular one which the reader should “understand”.

“Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand. And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he that waits, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.” (Daniel 12:9-12) 1290 years + 45 years more = 1335 years

I investigated as to when the Muslim abominations had been “set up” on the Temple Mount. The Dome of the Rock was constructed in 687 AD. The wooden Al-Aqsa Mosque was started between 670-674, and seen completed by Gaullic bishop Arculf who lived in Palestine between 679 and 682 (Medieval Jerusalem and Islamic Worship by Amikam Elad). Trying the years 674-679, I found that starting with the year 677 AD + 1290 = 1967 which was the year Jews regained the Temple Mount. Forty-five years later came to 2012. Daniel's prophecy of the year of Christ's return was “sealed” until the first seal was opened on September 11, 2001. I imagine others have discovered it as well. On January 11, 2009 I published my first video on how the first seals had already been opened.

Rosh haShanah in 2012 is September 16th.

“Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.” (Rev. 9:14-15)

The three and a half years of the tribulation equal 1260 days based upon 30 day months (Rev. 11:2-3). Using this verse as a time marker for the 6th trumpet, 12 x 30 + 1 x 30 + 1 = 391 days. Counting backwards 391 days brought me to August 23, 2011 for the beginning of the 6th trumpet.
As I studied Revelation, I noticed the parallels of the judgments of the trumpets and vials. On page 598 of J. Barton Payne' “Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy” I saw a chart which showed the trumpets and vials in tandem.
Counting backward 3.5 years x 360 days = 1260 days from September 16, 2012 came to April 6, 2009 for the beginning of Revelation's Great Tribulation. Though I had the bulk of my book, “Awake, Bride” completed before that date, and rushed a first edition, it had many typos, so I was able to include what happened on that date in my revision. I then began producing videos to accompany the book. Then with work and moving, I set it all aside for a season; during which time I had missed recognizing the first two trumpets and vials. By the time of Japan's quake and nuclear disaster, I was confused that the 3rd trumpet seemed to be out of order. Then I carefully reviewed the disasters since April 6, 2009, and came to realize everything was perfectly in order, and I published a fulfillment update to “Seals, Trumpets and Vials” and produced a video about it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v3tmdjitOk

Well, I didn't know what 'sign' would occur at the beginning of 6th trumpet and seal on August 23, 2011, but just like the sign of the beginning of the Great Tribulation on April 6, 2009, it involves Obama "the son of perdition" and the US "that withholds" being “taken out of the way”. I think the earthquake jarring the US capitol is one of God's warnings to the American people to make sure they're on God's side in support of Israel and not on Obama's side who recently asked Netanyahu to apologize to Turkey when they ran Israel's blockade last year; the earthquake was God's response. It cracked the Washington Monument signifying America is damaged, and will be further damaged. Several Israelis were killed by Egyptian Muslims last week, and Israel killed an Islamic Jihad member in Gaza on August 23, 2011 as a sign that Israel eventually is victorious. (http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/aug2011/jay825.htm) The UN is already blaming Israel for that surgical strike. The UN also felt the earthquake of God's response.
I have been faithful to freely publish what Almighty God has enabled me to see in His Word. (www.kneelingmedia.org) I pray many followers of Yeshua will study it and be prepared for His return on September 16, 2012.

Elenin's 2011 Prophetic Path

According to Leonid Elenin who discovered Elenin, this is Elenin's path through the constellations for the rest of 2011.

July 19th Elenin was 6 degrees SE of Regulus in Leo.
Early August, Elenin in Virgo
October 11th Elenin will be 6 degrees NW of Regulus in Leo.
October 16th, Elenin will be closest to the Earth, and then will pass through Cancer and Gemini.
End of October, Elenin will enter Auriga.
Early November, Elenin will be in Taurus.
Mid-November in Pleiades
End of November until the end of January 2012 in Aries

For the meanings of star and constellation names, please see Bullinger's “The Witness of the Stars” at http://philologos.org/__eb-tws/ The following is my interpretation based upon his writing.

Elenin's Path
July 19th Elenin was 6 degrees SE of Regulus in Leo.
Early August, Elenin in Virgo
October 11th Elenin will be 6 degrees NW of Regulus in Leo.
October 16th, Elenin will be closest to the Earth, and then will pass through Cancer and Gemini.
End of October, Elenin will enter Auriga.

Regulus (regal) means kingly.
Leo represents the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Gen. 49:9, Hosea 5:14, Rev. 5:5)
So Elenin will be making a crown linking Messiah, the promised Seed (star Spica) of Virgo (the virgin Mary) to the King (star Regulus) of the Lion (Leo) of the tribe of Judah.

Cancer represents a safe, circle sheepfold. Gemini represents the Two Witnesses of Jews and Gentiles. [Pisces represents believing Jews and Gentiles drawn together by a band of love] Auriga represents the Shepherd.
The sign of the coming King then draws close to Earth en route to collect His sheep who know His voice who are His witnesses in the earth as the Good Shepherd.

Isaiah 40:9-15 “. . . say to the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him. He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. . . . Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counselor has taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and showed to him the way of understanding? Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket . . .”

After the stars (meteors) fall and the SIGN of Messiah's coming in heaven, then the saints are “caught up” on Rosh haShanah (feast of trumpets), and God's judgment falls.
Leonids are a meteor shower coming from the direction of Leo which occurs this November.

Matthew 24:29-31 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”

Elenin's Path
Early November, Elenin will be in Taurus.
Mid-November in Pleiades
End of November until the end of January 2012 in Aries

Taurus is the rushing bull (Leader) of judgment who is coming to rule.
Pleiades in its neck is the congregation of the Judge (Jesus). In Syriac, Pleiades is named Succoth which is 'booths' in Hebrew. The feast of booths will be October 12-19 this year.
Aries used to be depicted as a crowned Lamb (King Jesus).

King Yeshua will take up His Bride, judge the wicked, and then establish His physical kingdom (booths) upon the Earth.

South Sudan Fulfills Isaiah 18

Ray Bentley noted how South Sudan fulfilled Isaiah 18. http://www.youtube.com/user/AwakeBride?feature=mhee#p/f/7/EVC3prQdu70

South Sudan was officially welcomed by the world as a new nation on July 9, 2011. I have an article on that day regarding its flag's (“ensign”) colors being a sign of the nearness of the sixth “trumpet” and vial.

Isaiah 18:1-3 “Woe [should be 'Ho'] to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia [kush]: That sends ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes on the waters, saying, Go, you swift messengers [malak], to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning till now [haleah means far away]; a nation meted out [measured] and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled [baza means cleave]! All you inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see you, when he lifts up an ensign on the mountains; and when he blows a trumpet, hear you.”

God is providing the description of this nation to the south of Kush, which is now Sudan and has the White and Blue Nile “rivers” (verse 1) flowing through it. The headwaters of the White Nile are in Kenya's Lake Victoria, and flow north through the middle of South Sudan, “cleaving” the country in two, and continuing into Sudan 200 miles north of Malakal, South Sudan; “messengers” is malak in Hebrew. South Sudan's oil rich mountain areas are still being “meted out” regarding their northern boundary after a two decades of being “trodden down”. It is estimated the Muslim Janjaweed killed 1.5 million Christians in Darfur since 1984, but there have also been ethnic fighting between black and Arab Muslims.

These agricultural smooth-skinned Christians in South Sudan would be a “present” of support to Israel.

“In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered [mashak also means to sow] and peeled [smooth], and from a people terrible [frightened] from their beginning till now; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.” (Isaiah 18:7)

Isaiah 18:4-6 were prophecies regarding an Ethiopian pharaoh in whom Israel would place their trust, and an Assyrian King. Pharaoh Taharqa met Assyrian Esarhaddon's troops at Ashkelon in 674 BC, and was able to fend them off. But in the “summer” of 671 BC, Esarhaddon conquered Taharqa in Memphis and pursued him back to Kush, taking his son captive. Both Taharqa and the king of Tyre were led away with hooks in their jaws (Ezekiel 29:2-4).

“For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat on herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches. They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter on them. (Isaiah 18:4-6)

Apostasy and Perdition

"Now we beseech you, brothers, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together to him, That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?"
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-5)

Christ's second coming and our gathering together to him will not occur until after a "falling away" and the revealing of the "son of perdition". This “man of sin” won't declare himself to be deity until after a "falling away" (646 apostasia); a defection from truth, an apostasy. The word is used one other time in Acts 21:21 to "forsake" Moses. It is akin to 647 apostasion, a separation or divorce. This refers to Christians abandoning their love and faith in Christ (1 Timothy 4:1). Though several denominations have ordained homosexual leaders in recent decades, I think churches who recently removed their crosses and embraced Chrislam have fulfilled “falling away”, since they have accepted a false god, Allah, as being equal to Yahweh who gave us His Son Yeshua. Allah has no son. Islam denies the Father and the Son, and is antichirst (I John 2:22-23). Paul is very clear that “the son of perdition” is revealed after the “falling away” and before “the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”.
One of the reasons the pre-trib rapture theory came into being was because people kept calling the pope the son of perdition or the antichrist. The new doctrine placed the revealing of the son of perdition after Christians had been raptured away, and so the pope could be as corrupt as he desired without constant accusation. Though Catholics hold to some unbiblical doctrines, they have not denied the Father and His Son Jesus, so they are not antichrist.
Judas is the other person called a “son of perdition” (John 17:12), though he was one of the Twelve. So a “son of perdition” is a professed follower of Jesus who then denies Christ. To be an “antichrist” he will follow a religion that denies the Father and the Son, like Islam. He will exalt himself as God in a shrine/naos of God/theos (which could mean magistrate), not the Hebrew Temple (so it doesn't have to be rebuilt before Christ's return); possibly the White House. Yes, I'm alluding to President Obama.
I consider President Obama to be the “son of perdition” here and the “little horn” of Daniel 7.

Daniel 7:8 “. . . there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.” Beasts are empires, and horns are kings."

Daniel 7:24-26 “And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.”

President Obama applauded the Tunisian vendor who set himself on fire to contest his government. The Tunisian president was a peacemaker who protected Jews in his country and held talks with Israel. One horn down. Obama's administration worked behind the scenes and openly in Egypt to bring down its president who upheld his country's treaty with Israel. Two horns down. Obama used his power to start a war with Libya through the UN, and has continued to do so in violation of the U.S. Constitution. This third horn is not going down as easily.

II Thessalonians 2:8-12 “And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all delusion of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

I think the “strong delusions” came in the 1800's with uniformitarianism denying Noah's flood (II Peter 3:2-7) and the age of humanity on earth, and evolution which denied Elohim created man in His image (Romans 1:18-32), and then the pre-tribulation rapture theory gained ground in America to lull Christ's church to sleep. Lastly, from the 1880 to 1914, several thousand Muslims immigrated to the United States from the Ottoman Empire, and from parts of South Asia.

Revelation 20:4 “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.”

The Muslims have been beheading people and making the videos available. They have been slaughtering Christians, Jews, and 'unworthy' Muslims by the thousands throughout the Middle East the last two decades. Their soldiers wear berets and armbands with the blasphemous name of Allah.

Revelation 18:22-23 “. . . for your merchants were the great men of the earth; for by your sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain on the earth.” All the nations have been deceived that Islam was a 'religion of peace'.

Revelation 16:6 “For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given them blood to drink; for they are worthy. And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are your judgments.”

Revelation 17:6 “And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.”

Obama is not the 8th head of the beast, which will be the last caliphate of Islam. The beast is the empire of moon worship, which began in Babylon with Nimrod, and “is[was] not” while John wrote. The leader of the 8th head is the Mahdi, who is likely Muqtada al-Sadr, who will revive the Ottoman empire which was the 7th head which received a mortal would at the end of WWI. And the “son of perdition” and the beast of Islam will go into perdition.

Revelation 17:11 “And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.”

Revelation 20:11 “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”

Sixth Trumpet and Vial

6th Trumpet and South Sudan's new Colors

“13And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God, 14Saying to the sixth angel which had the trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates. 15And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 16And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them. 17And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone. 18By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 19For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like to serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 20And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: 21Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.” (Revelation 9:13-21)

The last verse surely depicts much of this last generation: “murders” (both of the born and the unborn), sorceries (pharmakaeia – drugs to enhance communication with demons), “fornication” (porneia) , and “thefts”, especially now with 'flash robs'. They love their wicked deeds and will not “repent” (metanoeo – think differently, come to their senses or amend their ways). Verse 15 is where I get 391 days for this war until the “Lion of the tribe of Judah” comes to end it on feast of trumpets in 2012, which gives a start date of August 23, 2011.

The breastplates of the soldiers on the “horses” are fire, jacinth, and brimstone. Fire is red or red-orange. Jacinth is a semi-precious stone and flower that is also known as hyacinth. The flower is blue. The stone jacinth is a lustrous orange-yellow, orange-red, yellow, or yellow-brown; but when it's cut and polished it is blue-white. Brimstone is equated with sulfur. In its natural state, sulfur is yellow; when it's melted, it turns blood red. Sulphur produces a blue flame when it's burned. In 2009 I looked for a flag or uniform with the colors red, blue and yellow; and except for the Olympic flag, did not find one. . . .

Until today, July 9, 2011, when South Sudan declared their independence with their new flag. Sudan means 'black' in Arabic, so the black stripe is on top. Mohammed declared green to be the color of Islam. Red, white, black and green are called pan-Arab colors. But with the addition of the blue triangle and yellow star; it is unique among the nations. When Sudan gained independence from Egypt and Britain on January 1, 1956, they adopted a blue, yellow and green horizontal striped flag; and this may be related. Sudan is the only country I know to have predominant portions of their flag colored red, blue and yellow; and I accept it as a sign that the sixth trumpet is about to sound.

The four angels of destruction are loosed from the Euphrates to slay 1/3 of mankind, but their slaughter may not necessarily be contained within the Middle East, though that and Israel will be the focus. The “horses” had heads like “lions”, fierce and swift in battle (1 Chron. 12:8), and “their mouths [stoma – front edge of weapon] issued [exporeuomai - discharged] fire [pur - lightning] and smoke and brimstone [theion – flashing, like divinity].” This sounds like an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to me.

“The next shoe dropped in 1998, when Iran tested missiles fired from a barge in the Caspian that exploded a hundred miles above the surface. The Iranians knew about EMP too, and were making plans to menace any nation they could reach from a cargo ship as soon as they had the necessary nuclear warheads. Concerned at last, Congress established a commission in 2001 to examine the potential damage to the United States from an EMP attack. The final report was published in 2008, and the news was not good. Attacked by EMP weapons, the United States infrastructure would suffer catastrophic and irreversible damage—unless defensive preparations were made. The cost for hardening vulnerable things such as electrical power transmission lines, communications, and computer-controlled systems like refineries and water supplies would cost billions of dollars. Speeches were made, but expensive action was left to disappear from congressional agendas.” by Chet Nagle on March 29, 2010 at
http://warsclerotic.wordpress.com/2010/04/18/emp-israels-solution-to-the-iran-nuclear-threat/

But if that doesn't do it, Iran should have a nuclear bomb by 2012. Iran has possibly bought whatever it wanted from Russia and North Korea already. And don't forget that Pakistan has nukes and doesn't like the US very much anymore. Pakistan is also a kingdom of the east.

“Official American and Israeli estimates suggest Iran would not be able to produce a bomb until 2012, or more likely several years after that. In June, Iran declared that it aimed to triple production of nuclear fuel and increase enrichment to 20 percent, a level that would indicate technological progress that experts say would make the weapons-grade level of 90 percent enrichment much closer.” July 9, 2011, updated from June 8, 2011 in The New York Times http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/iran/nuclear_program/index.html

There is also the tails of the "horses" in verse 19 "For their power is in their mouth, and in their tails: for their tails were like to serpents, and had heads, and with them they do hurt." As with the tails of the scorpions who "hurt" men for five months, these horses' tails also "hurt" (adikeo) men for a particular time period. Adikeo is "to be unjust, that is, (actively) do wrong (morally, socially or physically): - hurt, injure, be an offender, be unjust, (do, suffer, take) wrong." These horses' tails were like "serpents"/Ophis, "figuratively (as a type of sly cunning) an artful malicious person, like Satan." These horses' tails were like serpents with heads, which brings to mind the picture of a sperm; so these bombs may carry biological weapons as well. The other serpent with heads in Revelation refers to Satan.

6th Vial

“12And the sixth angel poured out his vial on the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.” (Revelation 16:12-16)

Turkey demonstrated in 2008-2009 that it can use its dams to withhold water in the Euphrates from reaching Iraq. Turkey is also controlling how much electricity they supply Iraq. See http://onedinar.forumotion.net/t31767-minister-of-electricity-an-agreement-on-the-semi-final-import-200-mw-from-turkey-with-the-increase-in-the-euphrates-river
Turkey led the Ottoman Empire, and I think it will also lead the last caliphate.

Messiah's inclusion of a warning of His coming in the midst of the sixth vial assures me that there is only one coming of King Jesus/Yeshua, and that it is after the 391 days of this Armageddon War to which the “whole world” will be enticed. One enticement may be the next Gaza Flotilla. Christ's warning also leads me to think a false messiah will be “working miracles” during the 391 days to entice people to follow Islam or Chrislam. “Miracles” is semeion, from a root for 'mark', meaning “that by which a person or a thing is distinguished from others and is known” according to Thayer.

The only Biblical time-table for the declaration of diety by the “son of perdition” is that it is after the apostasy of “falling away” of many and prior to “that day” of Messiah's return. I speculate that God has given us a pattern of earthquakes in order to prepare us for one on the west coast in the last half of September this year. It may be of such large magnitude that it sets off the supervolcano in Yellowstone (this may be part of the “smoke” which kills people) as well as the New Madrid Fault. (It may be a kindness that the Mississippi was flooded and people had to move away from this fault.) If any of these major disasters take place, the president would initiate martial law. During Katrina they sent in military men to disarm the citizens 'to keep peace'.

I speculate the Mahdi is Muqtada al-Sadr, and that he will reveal himself openly before the end of 2011. After the Mahdi does so, I speculate President Obama will do obeisance to him and declare himself to be Jesus and call people to accept Allah as god either blatantly or subtlely. It may be that unless you accept Allah you will not be able to do banking or be able to receive government assistance. Those who resist will be imprisoned or killed as has been happening in Muslims countries for decades, but moreso the last five months of locusts.

We as followers of our LORD Jesus Christ, are to keep vigilant in our faith and our expectation of His “blessed appearing” and to keep doing whatever good works He tells us to do as we shine His light in the darkness.

Release of Emergency Oil Reserves

So what's the emergency? Obama released 30 million barrels of crude oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) on June 23, 2011. Currently, the US consumes 21 million barrels of oil daily, and the SPR holds 726.5 million barrels [wikipedia].

The real reason for this political move may be to warn Israel, that if they don't give up their land to the Palestinians, the US will not honor their treaty to sell oil to Israel during their time of need, because it will already be sold. According to the 1975 Second Sinai withdrawal document, the U.S. is obligated to sell oil to Israel for up to 5 years in case of an emergency. The emergency will be all the Muslim countries attacking Israel, but this time it will be with the support of the U.N. (full of pro-Muslim countries) to enforce the “Responsibility to Protect Act” to establish a Palestinian state.

Counting backward one (360-day) year, one (30-day) month, and one day (Rev. 9:14-16) from September 16, 2012 (Rosh haShanah, Feast of Trumpets) is August 23, 2011. This date begins the War of Armegeddon against Israel.

I hope you can bicycle to work.

Festivals of New Wine and New Oil

Our amazing God has been revealing things in these last days which were kept hidden until after Israel became a nation in 1948. The Dead Sea Scrolls were initially discovered in 1947, and continued to be found until 1956. Their contents were published little by little throughout the next decades. YHWH instituted His feasts as rehearsals of things to be fulfilled in Messiah (Lev. 23:2 and Col. 2:16-17). I think that the Festivals of the New Wine and New Oil are specifically for Christ's Bride in these latter days in order to understand what our Bridegroom is about to do.

We know about counting the omer for seven weeks from Passover and celebrating the Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost, on the 50th day (Deut. 16:8-11). But according to the Temple Scroll found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, there were two other 50 day festivals after Pentecost; the first being New Wine of the grape harvest, and 50 days later, the New Oil of the olive harvest.

"…You shall count-seven complete Sabbaths from the day of your bringing the sheaf of [the wave-offering. You shall c]ount until the morrow of the seventh Sabbath. You shall count [fifty] days. You shall bring a new grain-offering….it is the feast of Weeks and the feast of Firstfruits, an eterna[l] memorial.
….You [shall count] seven seeks from the day when you bring the new grain-offering… seven full Sabbaths [shall elapse un]til you have counted fifty days to the morrow of the seventh Sabbath. [You] shall [bring] new wine for a drink-offering…
….[You sha]ll count from that day seven weeks, seven times (seven days), forty-nine days; there shall be seven full Sabbaths; until the morrow of the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days. You shall then offer new oil…"
(Temple Scroll - 11QT=11Q19, 20, 4Q365a – XVIII-XXI.)

This year Pentecost was June 7-8, and a huge solar eruption occurred which grazed our upper atmosphere. NASA still picture at http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov//data/REPROCESSING/Completed/2011/c2/20110607/20110607_0934_c2_512.jpg and an incredible video of it at http://www.lmsal.com/~schryver/Public/AIA/AIA-211_193_171_20110607T053556_30s_hugefilamenteruption.mov
This could be a sign in the heaven that more powerful things are coming.

Fifty days from Pentecost will be July 27-28 (26th of Tamuz) for the festival of New Wine. Proverbs 3:9-10 may allude to this festival, “Honor the LORD with your substance, and with the first fruits of all your increase: So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine.”
The Temple Scroll states that no one could drink new wine until the offering had been made at the Temple. This reminded me of our Messiah and Bridegroom saying after communion with His disciples that last Passover, “But I say to you, I will not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.” (Matthew 26:29) With the Feast of Trumpets being after this festival, that would be certain. Another passage came to mind which speaks to me of the restoration of the fellowship of believers as God's Holy Spirit intends it:

"Why he said, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light. See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Why be you not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things to God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. (Ephesians 5:14-21)

And then there is the judgment of the wine press.

“I have trodden the wine press alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in my anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled on my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.” (Isaiah 63:3-4)

After the fall of Babylon (Mecca-Jeddah), there may come another great holocaust before the LORD reutrns:

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from now on: Yes, said the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and on the cloud one sat like to the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in your sickle, and reap: for the time is come for you to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great wine press of the wrath of God. And the wine press was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the wine press, even to the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.” (Rev. 14:13-20)

But this will be followed by the saints slaughtering the wicked with King Jesus:

“And the armies which were in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the wine press of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he has on his clothing and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the middle of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together to the supper of the great God; That you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.” (Rev. 19:14-18)

Fifty days from the festival of New Wine will be September 16-17 (18th of Elul) for the festival of New Oil. This New Oil festival is only two weeks away from Rosh haShanah (Feast of Trumpets). The shaking and beating which occurs to the olive tree may signal more earthquakes and natural disasters this fall. For excellent teaching on this, view http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNngZg721hg and
http://media.voe.org/Manna_fest/2231161 .
Of course oil is linked to a manifestation of God's Holy Spirit: “Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the middle of his brothers: and the Spirit of the LORD came on David from that day forward.” (I Samuel 16:13)
And it also speaks of the unity of the brethren as we are all anointed with oil as priests unto the LORD:

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment on the head, that ran down on the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended on the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for ever more. (Psalm 133)

These two festivals may have been celebrated for over 1,000 years: “All the best of the oil, and all the best of the wine, and of the wheat, the first fruits of them which they shall offer to the LORD, them have I given you. And whatever is first ripe in the land, which they shall bring to the LORD, shall be yours; every one that is clean in your house shall eat of it.” (Numbers 18:12-13) We need to be giving our best to the LORD in these final days. Like Schindler, look around for what you can sell to save one more soul.

“I charge you therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long-suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables. But watch you in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: From now on there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but to all them also that love his appearing” (II Timothy 4:1-8)

In 2012 the Festival of New Wine will be July 8-9, and the Festival of New Oil will be August 27-28.

The Next Holocaust: Obama Signing 2008 was a Signal, not a Gaff

My husband and I went to the Dallas Holocaust Museum on Memorial day. There I learned that though deaths had occurred from 1933 to 1945, the upswing began on June 7, 1941; and that 80% of all Jews killed during WWII were killed in 1942. Searching further I found that the war became global on June 22, 1941 when the Nazis entered the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union suffered the highest casualties of WWII: 27 million, which was 13% of their population. Poland had the highest percentage of casualties at more than 18%, and Lithuania had almost 14%. The Nazis invaded Lithuania in June, 1941, and 80% of their Jewish population were killed by the end of the year.

I noted that June 7, 2011 would be 70 years since the upswing in the slaughter of Jews began. Seventy is the number of nations listed in Genesis 10. Seventy years was a prophesied punishment for the Jews to be under Babylonian control and exile (Jer. 25:11 and Daniel 9:2), which presaged Daniel's 70 sevens prophecy regarding Messiah's first coming (Daniel 9:24-27).

Isaiah 23:13-18 “Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. Howl, you ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. Take an harp, go about the city, you harlot that have been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that you may be remembered. And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth. And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the LORD: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the LORD, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing.”

Because of “wilderness” connections to Rev. 12:6 and 14, I think this passage may have something to do with the USA. After WWII, the USA became the world's super-power, but then its morals began to decay. Though evolution was taught in public schools since the early 1900's, by the early 1960's America legally cast aside Creator God (1962 removed school-sponsored prayer and 1963 removed school-sponsored Bible reading) which led to legalization of homosexuality (in 1973 it ceased being a psychological aberrant behavior) and abortion (1973 Roe v. Wade) and other sins. America has become a spiritual “harlot”, but the USA is not the “mother of harlots” (Rev. 17:1-7) which is Saudi Arabia. The presidents of the USA have built a bond with Saudi Arabia since WWII which JFK tried to sever and was assassinated for his attempt. (The Dallas Holocaust Museum is across the street from the book depository museum of JFK's assassination.)

The Islamic calendar begins with Mohammed's hajj (AH 0) in 622 AD, but because they use a lunar calendar which is 11-12 days shorter than a solar year of 365.25 days; their total years can't easily be subtracted. In early Islamic prophecy, the AH 1400th year would see the forerunners of the Mahdi, the Muslim savior. The AH 1400th year was 1979, when Ayatollah Khomeini led the Iranian revolution of those seeking the Mahdi. Also, according to prophecy for that year, Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty. “Before the final hour, there will be a dusty and smoky tribulation like patches of dark light.” (Sunan Abu Dawud). Osama bin Laden, who proclaimed himself the Mahdi to his followers, planned to fulfill this prophecy in the prophetic year AH1421 = 2001 AD.

Abdullah-bin-Umar said, "I memorized a Hadith of the Messenger of Allah which I have not forgotten. I heard the Messenger of Allah say, 'The first of the Signs that will come is the rising of the sun from the place of its setting and the emergence of the Daabba to people in Duha (later portion of the morning before noon). Whichever of these two (signs) occurs before the other, then the other one will occur immediately after it." (Sahih Muslim) Dabba is a thing or a creature that “speaks” and gives a particular message, which is addressed to all of mankind.
According to the tradition, Imam Ali ibn Abi-Talib (Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law) prophesied that at the End of Times, the “Ultimate Savior”, a “tall black man will assume the reins of government in the West,” commanding “the strongest army on earth”.
Obama's emblem during his campaign, looked like the sun rising on America, the West. During his campaign in 2008, Obama made speeches outside of America to the world, and the world accepted him as their president, and some accepted him as their messiah.
Islamic prophecy for 2008 AD was that it would be the year of victory for morals and the Koran when a leader unites Islam and helps to introduce the Mahdi. On May 24, 2011, President Obama signed a guest book with the year 2008; this was a signal, not a gaff. It was a signal for the Mahdi to be introduced to the world from Mecca, Saudi Arabia. This may occur June 7th, the day Israel reclaimed Jerusalem during the 6-day war; another 'nakba' day for Muslims. It may occur later this summer so that it will be in connection to the Gaza flotilla. The leader of the Mahdi army in Iraq is Muqtada al-Sadr. On May 26, 2011, the 70,000 strong Mahdi army marched in Baghdad as two million people cheered [http://www.npr.org/2011/05/26/136671832/al-sadr-followers-rally-in-iraq-against-u-s-troops].

The signal has been given, and the stage has been set for “the final solution” (holocaust), WWIII against Israel, the war of Armageddon. Recall 80% of all Jews killed during WWII were killed in 1942; the same may happen in 2012. Unto the Sunni “beast of the sea” with seven heads and ten horns “was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations (Rev. 13:7). “And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful" (Rev. 17:12-14).

Three Demonic Frog Spirits make Preparations for Armageddon War

War of Armageddon begins August 23, 2011, and lasts 391 days prior to King Jesus' return on Rosh Hashanah, 2012. The sixth vial has begun to pour. The “dragon” is Satan (Rev. 12:9), the “beast” is Sunni Islam, and the “false prophet” is Shia Islam. The “whore” is Wahhabi, dominant in Saudi Arabia. 80% of mosques in US are built by Wahhabis who have no tolerance for other religions, and teach violent jihad in their schools and mosques.

Rev. 16:12-16 “And the sixth poured out his bowl upon the great river, the river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way might by made ready for the kings that come from the sunrising. And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs: for they are spirits of demons, working signs; which go forth unto the kings of the whole world, to gather them together unto the war of the great day of God, the Almighty. (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.) And they gathered them together into the place which is called in Hebrew Har-Magedon.”

“Frog” is batrachoi. The following is from Barnes' commentary: “This word does not occur in the New Testament except in the passage before us. It is properly translated frogs. The frog is here employed clearly as a symbol, and it is designed that certain qualities of the “spirits” here referred to should be designated by the symbol. For a full illustration of the meaning of the symbol, the reader may consult Bochart, Hieroz. P. II. lib. v. cap. 4. According to Bochart, the frog is characterized, as a symbol:
(1) for its rough, harsh, coarse voice;
(2) on this account, as a symbol of complaining or reproaching;
(3) as a symbol of empty loquacity;
(4) as a symbol of heretics and philosophers, as understood by Augustine;
(5) because the frog has its origin in mud, and lives in mud, as a symbol of those who are born in sin, and live in pollution;
(6) because the frog endures all changes of the season cold and heat, summer, winter, rain, frost - as a symbol of monks who practice self-denial;
(7) because the frog though abstemious of food, yet lives in water and drinks often, as a symbol of drunkards;
(8) as a symbol of impudence;
(9) because the frog swells his size, and distends his cheeks, as a symbol of pride.”

Rev. 13:1-8 “And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. . . . and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him? and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain."

That's correct, the Islamo-fascist beast will “overcome them”, be victorious against the saints. If it were not for Jesus returning, the Muslims would obtain their goal of destroying Israel. The beast originally had ten horns/kings, but the “little horn”, Pres. Obama, has been busy uprooting three (Daniel 7:8); Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya. To “blaspheme” is to 'injure with speech'. President Obama's big mouth has been blaspheming God's Name and authority which promised Canaan to the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This “son of perdition” has blasphemed God's “tabernacle (skene)”, better translated 'habitation' in trying to divide Jerusalem. “That Wicked” has blasphemed those who “dwell (skenoo)” in “heaven (ouranos)” – God's kingdom, by preaching social justice and a collective salvation in opposition to those who cling to The only “Way, Truth, and Life”. Those who had not determined beforehand to worship the true Messiah, Jesus/Yeshua, found themselves worshipping the false Messiah, Obama.

The Sunni beast is making its voice heard as it demands governments to become Sharia-compliant. The king of the Shiite "false prophet", Ahmadinejad, has declared the time is right to destroy the Jews so that the Mahdi may come and usher in justice.

Our Savior's words to us during this time are "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame." Let's keep our wits about us, and keep our eyes focused on the "Author and Perfector of our faith".

Overview of fulfillment of Seals, Trumps, and Vials

Seals 1-5

Seal 1 fulfilled on 9/11/01 when the “white horse”, 'peaceful' religion of Islam finally destroyed the Twin Towers (previous attempts in the 90's failed).

Seal 2 fulfilled as the “red horse” of Islamic terrorism has "taken peace from the earth". Muslims kill infidels and also kill other Muslims ("they should kill one another").

Seal 3 fulfilled during the "days of awe" between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Sept. 29 and Oct. 9, 2008) when the “black horse” of economic ruin galloped around the globe.

Seal 4 fulfilled when Muslims reached one “fourth” of the world's population by 1/1/09. Islam is a religion of death.

Seal 5 could be fulfilled in heaven anytime between 1/1/09 and 9/16/12.

Trumps and Vials 1-7

1st Trumpet fulfilled beginning March 7, 2010 by Australia's hail, Russia's fire (summer, 2010), and Muslim bloodshed.

1st Vial was worldwide measles outbreak in 2010.

2nd Trumpet fulfilled beginning April 21, 2010 by BP's DeepHorizon fiery platform collapsing into the sea and turning sea to "blood".

2nd Vial fulfilled by red tide destroying tons of fish in the Arabian Gulf reported in Sept. 2010.

3rd trumpet -- “great star like a lamp” (Rev. 8:10-12) was McNaught's comet C/2009 R1 seen June, 2010 prior to Japan's 9.1 earthquake on March 11, 2011.

3rd Trumpet fulfilled beginning March 11, 2011 by Japan's radioactive ("bitter") waters.

3rd Vial fulfilled in bloody Muslim violence through protests on March 11, 14, etc., 2011.

4th trumpet -- sun, moon and stars smitten (Rev. 8:12) is likely the great darkness of the Muslim revolution, since Islam is based upon worshipping the moon and a meteor [crescent and star logo].

4th Vial fulfilled as Muslim men and women set themselves on fire during the protests. “Scorched” means to burn or to torture with fire.

5th trumpet -- star who is a destroying king of the abyss (Rev. 9:1-11) is most likely Osama bin Laden; his locusts are Al-Qaeda and others who join them to swarm upon governments to destroy them in order to establish worship of the Beast of Islam.

5th Vial fulfilled in spring 2011 as Turkey ranks #1 in peptic ulcers in the Middle East. “Darkened” and "darkness" come from the same root meaning to obscure or to blind with the darkness of error.

6th Trumpet and Vial of the Battle of Armageddon begins August 23, 2011 with U.N. Troops declaring “Responsibility to Protect” the Palestinians from Israel. The war lasts 1 360-day year, 1 30-day month, and 1 day for a total of 391 days prior to the Lord's return on Sept. 16, 2012.

A sign prior to Christ's 2nd coming as Lion of Judah - Comet Elenin is predicted to be closest to earth on October 16th, 2011 while traversing Leo and will possibly be visible to the naked eye.

Also, Asteroid 2005 YU55 will come within the moon's orbit (200,000 miles from Earth) on Nov. 8, 2011. Asteroid 2005 YU55 is a dark sphere with a 1300 ft. diameter.

Either Elenin or 2005 YU55 might have a chunk break off (“like a great millstone”) to destroy Mecca and Jeddeh.

[5th Seal fulfilled when Great Tribulation martyrs in heaven are told to wait a “little season” until others are martyred.]

6th seal -- “stars” (Rev. 6:12-17) are great men in War at Armageddon who are humbled at seeing King Jesus in the sky. Great earthquake and meteor shower early on 09/16/2012.

7th Vial, Seal, and Trumpet of hail and great earthquakes. The 7th vial slightly precedes the 7th seal which slightly precedes the 7th trumpet. The effects of these three culminate in preparation for the appearing of King Jesus. And at the 7th “last trump” “the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed” (I Corinthians 15:52), and we shall “meet the Lord in the air” (I Thessalonians 4:16)at midnight Jerusalem time on Sept. 16, 2012.

Locusts of the 5th Trumpet are Swarms of Muslim Rebels

The first time locusts are mentioned in the Bible is with the 8th plague of the exodus (Ex. 10:4). These locusts were a one-time phenomenon (Ex. 10:14), and they were associated with darkness.

“For they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land was darkened [chashak]; and they did eat every herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left: and there remained not any green thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through all the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 10:15)

Chashak means to withhold light. The locusts' swarm was so thick it blocked sunlight. These locusts ate everything green which had not been destroyed by the hail. This is unlike the locusts of the 5th trumpet who were commanded “that they should not hurt [adikeo] the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.” (Rev. 9:4) This is a big clue that these are not typical locusts.

Our first clue is that the locusts of today came from the smoke of the abyss (Rev. 9:2-3) and are commanded by a 'fallen star' king who opened the abyss (Rev. 9:1,11) Natural locusts have no king (Proverbs 30:27) Today's locusts are “given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power” (Rev. 9:3).

During their exodus, the children of Israel were led through wilderness containing fiery serpents and scorpions (Deut. 8:15). The Middle East has several different venomous scorpions which cause human deaths every year. Scorpions of the earth have power to sting and inject venom which paralyzes or kills their prey, but God commands these locust-scorpions to not kill yet to torment a particular people group who are not sealed with God's Holy Spirit (Rev. 9:4-5).

God equated scorpions with rebels.
“And you, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.” (Ezekiel 2:6)

God gave this command to Ezekiel along with a scroll which he ate and tasted sweet (Ezek. 2:8-3:4), but then later became bitter when he had to prophesy (Ezek. 3:14-17). This is similar to the scroll John was asked to eat after God revealed the seven thunders to him and before He sent him to prophesy (Rev. 10:8-11)

Jesus associated scorpions with Satan, and gave His disciples power over them.
“And he said to them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give to you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt [adikeo] you." (Luke 10:18-19)

Adikeo is to be unjust, that is, (actively) do wrong (morally, socially or physically): - hurt, injure, be an offender, or be unjust (Strong's). Christians are protected by Christ's promise in Luke and in Revelation that these scorpion rebels will not hurt us.

Amos saw a vision of grasshoppers come upon the land, but interceded, and the Lord relented and did not bring it upon king Jeroboam II of Israel (Amos 7:1-3). The prophet Joel predicted a plague of locusts during the reign of king Uzziah of Judah which did occur. In Joel 1:4, some scholars assume Joel was describing the four growth stages of locusts. After hatching from the egg, a nymph is called a hopper; what most of us recognize as the green grasshopper. But after heavy rains when lots of green vegetation exists, solitary grasshoppers can change into gregarious locusts. Green nymphs change to yellow and black locusts, immature adults change from brown to red locusts, and mature adults change from brown to yellow locusts. The coasts of the Red Sea are their natural breeding grounds.

In Joel 2:2, the plague of locusts is now a plague of “people” who blot out the sun (Joel 2:10). The people of Judah heeded Joel's warnings and fasted and prayed for deliverence from such an army; whereas the people of Israel did not heed Amos, and were taken away into captivity.

“For a nation is come up on my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the cheek teeth of a great lion.” (Joel 1:6)
“. . . and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.” (Rev. 9:8)
The Sunni “beast of the sea” has the “mouth of of a lion” (Rev. 13:2); it “had great iron teeth: it devoured and broke in pieces (Daniel 7:7).

“The Mahometans speak much of God being the Maker of locusts; they say he made them of the clay which was left at the formation of Adam; and represent him saying, I am God, nor is there any Lord of locusts besides me, who feed them, and send them for food to the people, or as a punishment to them, as I please: they call them the army of the most high God, and will not suffer any to kill them.” (John Gill's Bible Commentary) I have not been able to verify this.

“The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness." (Joel 2:4-6)
“And the shapes of the locusts were like to horses prepared to battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. . . . And they had breastplates, as it were breastplates of iron; and the sound of their wings was as the sound of chariots of many horses running to battle.” (Rev. 9:7-9)

Though John never quoted the Old Testament directly in Revelation, he indirectly quoted it or alluded to it. Both of them tell us about this final battle prior to the LORD's return.
“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. . . . Assemble yourselves, and come, all you heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause your mighty ones to come down, O LORD. Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. Put you in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. So shall you know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.” (Joel 3:2, 11-17)
“For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. And there were voices, and thunders, and lightning; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were on the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give to her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath." (Rev. 16:14-19)
“For Israel has not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. Flee out of the middle of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD's vengeance; he will render to her a recompense. Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies. The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.” (Jeremiah 51:5-10)

The locusts of the 5th trumpet are swarms of Muslim rebels upon whom the LORD will have His vengeance.
