BRIDE, PREPARE FOR GOD'S JUDGMENTS

EARTHQUAKES

It is a 'miracle' that no one was killed in the 7.0 earthquake in CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand. Yes, “The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations [peirasmos = trial, reproof], and to reserve the unjust to the day of judgment to be punished: (2 Peter 2:9)” Yet an equivalent magnitude earthquake killed 230,000 in Haiti in January. Though Haiti sold its soul to the devil a hundred years ago, many people have repented of their voodoo and have become followers of Jesus. Believers and unbelievers died in Haiti. I believe God is using these two earthquakes as an example of His ability to rescue the righteous in Christ's Church from the coming judgments upon the world and its wickedness.

A 7.2 earthquake hit Baja California on Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010. Regarding it, Pat Abbott, a geology professor emeritus at San Diego State University said, "Any quake of this size seems to pass some kind of threshold where it’s large enough to disturb or trigger other faults. . . . I don’t want to anthropomorphize, but it’s like this quake was goading the San Andreas." [Lafee, Scott (2010-04-05), San Diego Union Tribune] The San Andreas Fault is overdue for 'the Big One'. Some Christians were getting visions and dreams that the big CA quake would hit in September of 2010. Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) begins at dusk September 8th and ends at dusk the following day; then the 'days of awe' until Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) from dusk September 17th to dusk the 18th. But maybe since the Baja quake was on Easter, the San Andreas quake would be on Christmas. God hasn't told me a date, but Jesus told us to expect earthquakes (Matthew 24:7). God told some people in the Twin Towers not to go into work or not to return to work after the first plane hit; be sensitive and obedient to His voice.

The Roar of Jehovah's Judgment in the Whirlwind (HURRICANES)

Hosea 11:10 “They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.”
Proverbs 19:12 “The king's wrath is as the roaring of a lion; but his favor is as dew on the grass.”
Proverbs 20:2 “The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own soul.”
Amos 3:4-8 “Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? . . . Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD has not done it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets. The lion has roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD has spoken, who can but prophesy?”

For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof. (Psalm 107:25)
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word: (Psalm 148:8)
Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. As the fire burns a wood, and as the flame sets the mountains on fire; So persecute them with your tempest, and make them afraid with your storm. (Psalm 83:12-15)
Yes, they shall not be planted; yes, they shall not be sown: yes, their stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow on them, and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble. (Isaiah 40:24)
Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously on the head of the wicked. The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it perfectly. (Jeremiah 23:19-20)
Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goes forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain on the head of the wicked. The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he has done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days you shall consider it. (Jeremiah 30:23-24)

You shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire. And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her fortification, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision. (Isaiah 29:6-7)
'Ariel' means 'lion of God', and is a reference to Jerusalem. The lion is the standard of the tribe of Judah which settled around Jerusalem. Jerusalem's emblem is the Lion of Judah against the Wailing Wall background surrounded by an olive branch.
For, see, I begin to bring evil on the city [Jerusalem] which is called by my name, and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, said the LORD of hosts. Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and say to them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar on his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth. A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD has a controversy with the nations, he will plead [shaphat - judge] with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, said the LORD. Thus said the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the ground. . . . And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD. He has forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger. (Jeremiah 25:29-38)

Jehovah's Judgment upon those who exiled Jews and parted Israel's land

{Google John McTernan “As America has done to Israel” pdf}

Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. . . . In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour on the house of David, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look on me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon. (Zechariah 12:2-11)

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead [judge] with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. (Joel 3:1-2)
"Those days" refers back to Joel 2 and the days nearing the LORD's second coming at the blowing of the trumpet (Rosh Hashanah) after the sun has turned dark and the moon has become red. God will pour out His judgment upon all nations; especially those who have exiled Hebrews/Jews and partitioned the land of Israel. America can expect severe judgment for pressuring Israel to give up land for peace. There is no actual "valley of Jehosaphat" in Israel; it means “depths [of] Jehovah's judgment”. Later in the chapter it is referred to as the “valley of decision” which can be translated “depths of judgment” or “valley of threshing”.

Behold, I will make you [Israel] a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains [kingdoms], and beat them small, and shall make the hills as chaff. You shall fan them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the whirlwind shall scatter them: and you shall rejoice in the LORD, and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 41:15-16)
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. (Joel 3:12-16)

When God promised the land of Israel to Abram in Genesis 15:13-16, He said it would not take place until 400 years had passed, because “the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.” It is interesting that European America has been in existence since 1605, over 400 years.

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. (Daniel 8:23)
'Stand up' in Hebrew is amad. 'Ahmad' in Persian means Mohammed or virtue; Ahmadinejad means Mohammed's race or virtuous race. 'Their' could refer to the ram of Media and Persia (Daniel 8:20) or the four kingdoms after Alexander the Great (Daniel 8:21-22) which were Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Egypt. Though Antiochus Epiphanes of Syria fulfilled the following verses, it seems Ahmadinejad of Iran (Persia) seeks to be its future fulfillment.

Prepare for more deadly terrorist attacks and WAR

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practice, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. (Daniel 8:24-25)
Ahmadinejad is not the “little horn” of the “first beast” whom many call the Antichrist. Though Ahmadinejad is a horn of the second beast which is a ram/lamb, who speaks like a dragon (Rev. 13:11),
And he excercises all the power of the first beast before him, and causes the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he does great wonders, so that he makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, (Rev. 13:12-13)
The powers of the first beast are given for 42 months (3.5 years) to speak blasphemies against God and His place of worship in Jerusalem, to make victorious war against the Christians and Jews (“saints”), and to eventually have power over all nations (Revelation 13:5-7). He “shall destroy the mighty and the holy people” (Daniel 8:24).

BRIDE, PREPARE for the LION of JUDAH to ROAR!

Four Horsemen

Revelation 6:1-8 "
1And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given to him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given to him a great sword. 5And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and see a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6And I heard a voice in the middle of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see you hurt not the oil and the wine. 7And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

The four horsemen have already begun, and roughly correspond to the "birth pangs" of Matthew 24:4-12. They precede the 3 1/2 year Great Tribulation. Though Islamic terrorists had bombed many embassies worldwide, it was the attack on September 11, 2001 (Rosh HaShanah was a week later) which awakened the world to the "peaceful" white horse of Islam attempting to conquer the world without "arrows" (nukes). To view Islam's toll of conquest, visit http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ which keeps track of each attack worldwide. This leads us to the red horse of terrorism which has "taken peace from the earth." Not content to just kill infidels, the Muslims also kill other Muslims ("they should kill one another"). On September 11, 2006 a 12-year-old boy was among six people murdered by a suicide bomber at a funeral for a previous victim of a suicide bombing in Afghanistan; thirty-six were wounded.

Joel 3:2,9,12 "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. Proclaim you this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up: 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."
"On September 11, 2008 US Consul General Jacob Walles admitted during an interview with a Palestinian newspaper that there were secret negotiations taking place to divide Jerusalem. The US State Department and Israeli officials were quick to deny such negotiation. Consul General Walles is second in command under the US ambassador to Israel and knows what is going on. I feel he let "the cat out of the bag." Walles statement was in perfect agreement with Secretary Rice's actions.
This admission by the Consul General was on Thursday, September 11. At the very time of this admission, Hurricane Ike was rushing toward Texas. This was a massive hurricane 600 miles wide! It struck late Friday and the eye went directly up Galveston Bay. Entire towns were destroyed and Houston was crippled. The rippling effect is not known at this time. The damaged is estimated now at $20 billion and counting. This was bad enough but then Lehman Brothers, one of the largest Wall Street banks, collapsed right on the heels of the hurricane. Then the domino effect hit the stock market." [John McTernan from http://johnmcternansinsights.blogspot.com/ ]

Again it was during the "days of awe" between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (Sept. 29 and Oct. 9, 2008) that the black horse of economic ruin traveled the globe. (Was it just Democrats causing runs on banks to create economic uncertainty to shift the focus off of the war in Iraq so that their candidate would be elected? Or were rich terrorists making large computer transactions ½ hour before closing for twelve days? Who are the private owners of the Federal Reserve Bank?) There may yet come a blight on wheat and barley until it gets to the point where "daily bread" will cost a day's wages (Rev. 6:6). Israel has a native plants conservatory which will help them replant.

Then comes the pale horse of Death. Currently Islam has a majority in one fourth of the world. [http://abuusamah.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/world-muslim-population/] Russia still has a large Muslim population even after all the "-istan" secessions. Current Muslim world population is estimated between 21% [http://www.geocities.com/richleebruce/b/islam.html] and 27% [http://www.islamicpopulation.com/]. And in those parts of the world in which Islam has power, it is killing through war and famine. All this chaos before the 3 1/2 year clock of the Great Tribulation even begins.

Jesus, the Lamb of God was born on Rosh HaShanah, September 11, 3 B.c. and He will return after the Great Tribulation as the Lion of the tribe of Judah to rescue the righteous and to destroy the wicked. His Bride needs to wake up and live righteously and lovingly, and proclaim the good news of grace in Jesus while there is still time.
