March Madness! Bible Prophecy!

As it stands currently, March looks like an exciting month to watch. We have several different events to look for, and several prophetic inferences to add into the entire bible prophecy equation.

At the beginning of February we were all shocked to hear of the Pope’s resignation that is to occur on February 28^th.

If you do not mind, open this link [insert link] in a separate tab, and read about St. Malachy’s Prophecy of the Popes, and his prophecy of the final pope. However I will not say any more here about that, even though I really would like to.

My main focus in this post is looking at President Obama’s trip to Jerusalem, Israel next month.

What is so big about this? For one thing, Obama has not been to Israel even once since he was elected President in 2008. But no, it gets even more exciting! He will be entering Jerusalem five days before Passover! (Jesus went into Jerusalem five days before Passover as well!) His trip is scheduled for March 20-22. There, he is going under the banner of “Unbreakable Alliance”, or in the Hebrew Tongue “A Covenant of People”. Sounds like an ominous familiarity to me.

“Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.”

Daniel 9:27

What is to be going on during the trip? Basically, the three main focus points will be Haulting Iran's Nuclear program, the implosion of Syria, and the stalled Israel-Palestine peace process. The peace process is the main purpose for Mr. Obama's visit. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has aleady said that he is willing to give up parts of Israel that are already occupied by Palestine. 

And one of the President's suggestions that he will make while in Israel is that the temple mount be given to the Jews. This could call for the construction of the Third Jewish Temple. 

I may be wrong about the whole endeavor, but it is enough to send chills down my spine. Even if Barack Obama isn't the Antichrist, and the Pope his false prophet, it is still a mockery to God. Satan himself tries to mimic everything that God does, for example: We have the Holy Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; Satan will have himself (the dragon), the Antichrist, and the False prophet. And to see Obama's trip to Israel to be five days before the Passover, exactly the way Jesus entered Jerusalem, it is evident that Satan is at work, regardless if this is the beginning of the Tribulation or not. 
But I am not quite finished yet...
I'm sure if you are a watchman of prophecy you have heard that if Obama splits Israel, the nation that committed the act will be split, and of course we all quickly point to the New Madrid Fault line that runs right down the middle of the Continental U.S. 
Even though that seems like a method of judgement God will use, we have taken the verse that speaks of this out of context. 

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. 

Joel 3:2

This verse does not say anything about the splitting of nations that split Israel, however, it is clear that by this prophecy, nations will divide God's land, and they will be judged, but in the Valley of Jehoshaphat in Israel, which many bible scholars believe will be after the Tribulation Period.

But, now with that settled, I see no reason God would not split America anyway. We already have the New Madrid Fault running right through America, and America is one of the top nations that will probably be in the running to split Israel, and it does say, though I don't know the verse, that the Antichrist will divide God's land for gain. Obama has everything to gain from such a pursuit. 

And speaking of earthquakes, I am going ahead and posting a warning for the first week of April. For the past 6 supposed "hits" each occurring on the week of the 188 day cycle. Each earth quake listed below are the fulfillment of the 188 day cycle. The cycle theory sattes that every 188 days or so, there will be a megaquake (7.0+) And the next time it is supposed to hit is the first week in April, and I wouldn't be surprised that if Obama does split Israel, he could very well split the U.S. in the first week of April. Just something to look out for. If you would like to learn more about what will happen in the next few years, click this link. 

As always, stay posted, and keep watch, for your redemption draws nigh!

**Do not take everything I say like it will certainly happen, because I do not know - I could be wrong, and this is not set in stone. I write what the spirit leads me to write. And what is set in stone is the fact that regarless if it's March, or not, Jesus Christ is coming very, very soon.**

Daniel 9:27 Peace Treaty March 20-22? Rapture Soon?

It seems March Madness will not begin to describe what is about to happen. There are some shocking similarities, and events that will take place in the month of March.

What will happen? Well, here’s a list for starters (I will explain them in detail):

-Next Pope to take power by March 20^th.

-Obama to visit Israel 5 days before Passover

            -Obama’s Israel visit to be named “Unbreakable Alliance” or in the Hebrew “A Covenant of Peoples.”

-Obamacare kicks in March 23’d.

-Obama to get medal while in Israel.

The biggest “official” news is the Conclave, which is set for March 20^th. There are several Cardinals eligible to be Pope, however, the Vatican is looking for someone from a different continent. The statistics are leaning toward a man from Ghana by the name of Peter Turkson.

I researched Peter, and found some very interesting facts about him:

1.    He was born on the same year that Israel was considered a nation (1948)

2.    He has openly called for a One World Bank, and a One world Authority

3.    His name is Peter (see the Prophecy of the popes)

4.    He is the 112^th, and final Pope in St. Malachi’s prophecy

I won’t continue on this topic because you can do your own research if you’d like, but right now I’d like to speak about the Obama trip to Israel. The trip is scheduled for March 20-22. In the meetings with Netanyahu, the two will talk about three things:

1.    Iranian Nuclear threat

2.    Implosion of Syria

3.    Israeli – Palestinian PEACE PROCESS

Passover begins March 25, 2013, approximately 5 DAYS after Obama goes into Israel! The same exact timing that Jesus had His triumphal entry into Jerusalem. And they are saying that Obama is to get a medal! For what? That is where I am baffled. What has he done, but thrown Israel under the bus?  

And now, what about the Obamacare bill? It kicks in one day after Obama goes to Israel.

Could his trip bring about to 7 year peace treaty? Will Obama promise the Temple to the Jews for a peace treaty? Will Jerusalem be split? I want your thoughts. 

I know this is probably a sloppy post, but my mind is all over the place. Share with me your thoughts.

If all this is leading up to the signing of the covenant between Israel and the Antichrist, the rapture is SO VERY CLOSE! Get right with Jesus now before it is too late!

The rapture is CLOSER THAN YOU THINK!!!

Just how close are we to the Rapture of the Church? How about World War 3? What about the rise of Antichrist? How close are we? Let me answer all those questions by saying: A lot closer than you think.

How can I be so sure? 

Look around you! The signs of the times are being fulfilled! I do not wish to repeat myself so I want you to read this blog post. In it you will find the reasons that I believe we are living in the very last of the last days. I mean the rapture is dangerously close, and if you have not given your life to Jesus, you are toying with eternity. 

The rapture is imminent, friends. I say this not to scare you, but to inform you. Please do not be left behind. 

How can you be saved?

It's simple. Ask God to forgive you of your sins, and ask Jesus Christ to come into your life. God loves you and He sent His son into the world to DIE for you! John 3:16

Pope Benedict XVI Resigning! Final Pope!

BIG NEWS
Pope Benedict the XVI will resign on February 28th, says the Vatican. No reason was given as to why he will resign. However, if you have read my posts before about St. Malachi's prophecy concerning the popes, you know that it is a high possiblilty that according to the prophecy, the next pope is said to "lead his sheep into tribulation". What does this mean? This means that we will possibly know the identity of the man that could possibly be the False Prophet - Peter the Roman!
This is HUGE guys, I mean, this shows how close the Tribulation is!!! And it means Jesus Christ is that much closer to returning!
Read the blog post which includes the prophecy of the final pope, What will happen in the next few years?
Friends, if you are not saved, don't keep putting it off. God bless! Stay tuned!

Isaiah 17 being FULFILLED!

Wednesday, Jan 30 - Israeli Air Force attacked an arms depot (Jamaraya) leaving casualties. This resulted in feirce condemnation from both Russia, and Iran saying that they are "preparing for retaliation".
Syria, being a rogue nation is unpredictable at best. And because Israel has attacked first means that in the world's eye's, Syria, Iran, and Russia would be justified in any retaliation attempt.
Will it be all out war with Syria?
For months Bashar Assad has said that anyone that attacks his nation, he will retaliate against.
"...Behold, Damascus will be a ruiness heep..."
Even so, come Lord Jesus! Keep looking up!

What Will Happen in the Next Few Years?

What does the next few years hold for the world? Can we really know the time frame for the seven years of tribulation that was prophesied by many prophets through the span of hundreds of years? Can we? Sounds far fetched, right? 

I hope to share with you in this post key pieces in this prophetic puzzle that can help us see that we truly are living in the very last of the last days! But, let me first say that very same thing that Jesus told His disciples when they questioned Him about His return:

  "For No man knows the day or the hour the Son of Man cometh, no not the Angels in Heaven, but The Father Only."

With that being said, let us begin.

The Parable of the Fig Tree

³² “Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. ³³ So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! ³⁴ Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. ³⁵ Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away. Matthew 24: 32-35

This is the cornerstone on which the whole prophecy of Matthew 24 rests upon. 

Jesus used many illustrations in His ministry, so this did not come as a surprise to His disciples. We are instructed to learn from the fig tree. Israel has been called the fig tree, and in this prophecy, that is precisely what the fig tree is symbolic for. 

Jesus is saying that when you see Israel become a nation, the generation that sees that very thing happen, would not pass away until all the prophecy would be fulfilled. 

So let's do a little math, shall we? According to the Psalmist (Psalm 90:10) the years of man are seventy to eighty years. If May 14, 1948 was indeed the figurative start to God's prophetic time clock, where are we now? 
Let's take May 14, 1948 and add on to it seventy years. We arrive at May 12, 2017 (I am going by the Jewish calendar which consists of 360 days.) But, we have to subtract the 7 years of Tribulation; then we get June 18, 2010. Yes, that day has past, but the Psalmist gave us a time frame of seventy to eighty years. Let's add eighty to the equation: You first reach March 21, 2027, and again, subtract the 7 years of Tribulation, and you get April 26, 2020.
What does this mean?
It means we still do not, and will not know the day nor the hour, but the time frame is right in front of us. If the prophecy has been interpreted right, the rapture would have to occur between now, and April 26, 2020. 

I do realize that God is God, and He goes by His own time, and nothing has to occur by this prophecy, but just allow this to sink in. We could be less than, and I do mean less than, 7 years away from the Rapture, or the Snatching Away of the church! Think of it!

Blood Moons and Prophecy

What do lunar eclipses, and red moons have to do with the bible?
In the very beginning, in creation, we find that God did not only make the Sun, Moon, and Stars for light, but also for signs and seasons! (Genesis 1:14)
In the old testament, a blood moon was considered a warning to Israel. But, let me not bore you with ancient history, let us skip ahead to about the Fifteenth Century A.D.
A tetrad is where four blood moons coincide with Jewish feasts (i.e. Passover, and Sukkoth). These are rare occurrences, but each one in history proved to deal with Israel, and the Jews. 
In the years 1493, and 1494 the Jews were exiled out of Spain. Was it any coincidence that there just happened to be a blood moon tetrad those two years?

Blood Moons of 1493-1494
April 2, 1493 - Passover
September 25, 1493 - Sukkoth
March 22, 1494 - Passover
September 15, 1494 - Sukkoth

Or how about a later date, such as when Israel got her independence:

Blood Moons of 1949-1950 

April 13, 1949 - Passover
October 7, 1949 - Sukkoth
April 2, 1950 - Passover
September 26, 1950 - Sukkoth I understand that these dates did not fall directly on the day of Israel's Independence (May 14, 1948), however, that is not the purpose. It coincides with the event. It was meant to be a sign for the Jews, and with our astronomers today, we can predict when these things will happen. But I get ahead of myself. The next tetrad coincides with the 6 day war in 1967: Blood moons of 1967-1968 April 24 1967 - Passover October 18, 1967 - Sukkoth April 13, 1968 - Passover October 6, 1968 - Sukkoth But wait, there's more! But the next tetrad has to do with the future! 2014, and 2015 to be exact. Blood Moons of 2014-2015 April 15, 2014 October 8, 2014 April 4, 2015 September 28, 2015 What could this mean? I am not certain, however, I can speculate. I propose that this tetrad could  either be signaling the 7 year peace treaty with Israel, or  the Abomination of Desolation where the Antichrist stands in the (soon to be built) temple, and claims that he is God. Just mere speculation, of course. However, when you look in the past, you see that the blood moons were dead accurate in concern to Israel... The Sign in Heaven (Rev. 12) Revelation 12 speaks of a woman clothed with the sun, the moon at her feet, and a garland of twelve stars around her head. I am not about to say certain that my view on this is fact, but if it is, we have something to look forward to! On September 22, 2017, the constellation Virgo will be in the sky (observing from Israel, of course) and of course Virgo means virgin, which symbolizes the virgin Mary, and more importantly, Israel. Remember that God put the stars in the heavens for the reason of giving us signs. On this day, Sept 22, 2017 the constellation Virgo will have the sun at here shoulders (clothed with the sun), the moon will be at her feet (literally) and there will be twelve stars (planets included as stars) around her head. This sign appears right before the dragon (satan) is cast out of heaven. (the second heaven). This is the mid point of the tribulation where satan will posses the Antichrist, and persecute the nation of Israel, and breaking the covenant. Well, again, math is our friend! You subtract 3 1/2 years (roughly) from this date, and you get March, 2014! If this is the sign in heaven, then the tribulation could start next year! But use discernment, and do not take everything I say at face value, but just think of it! The Rapture proves to be that much closer! 188 Day Cycle By now, you have probably heard enough, in light of recent seismological activity, about the proposed 188 day cycle earthquake theory stating that every 188 days or so, there is a major earthquake. As  the theory goes, the earth is at a different position in which it aligns itself in a perfect position to be  susceptible to an earthquake of 7.0 magnitude or greater. Not convinced? Let me give you the facts:    Chile - February 27, 2010 - 8.8-magnitude    New Zealand - September 4, 2010 - 7.1-magnitude    Japan - March 11, 2011 - 9.1-magnitude    Fiji- September 15, 2011 - 7.2-magnitude    Mexico- March 22, 2012 - 7.4-magnitude    Colombia-September 30, 2012 - 7.3 magnitude    (???-First week in April?-???) Now, yes if you do the calculations, the earthquakes do not occur to the very date of the predicted 188 day cycle. April is the next predicted "hit". Again, only time can tell, but just look at the facts!  Petrus Romanus - The Final Pope? In the earlier years of the Catholic church, there was a made a prophecy by a man by the name of  St. Malachy. In his prophecy he gave the attributes and even some of the names of all the popes that would ever be, starting with Pope Celestine II (elected in 1143) and ending with Petrus Romanus, who would be the final pope and would lead his people into great tribulation.  The prophecy: "In the extreme persecution of the Holy Roman Church, there will sit [i.e., as bishop]. Peter the Roman, who will pasture his sheep in many tribulations: and when these things are finished, the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible judge will judge his people. The End." Proof?  Here are a few of the prophecies corresponding with the actual pope: Prophecy/Pope name/Interpretation -Shepherd and sailor - John XXIII - From Venice, a maritime city. -Flower of flowers - Paul VI - His coat of arms features three flowers. -From the labor of the sun - John Paul II - Born on the day of a solar eclipse. Entombed on the day of a solar eclipse. -Glory of the olive - Benedict XVI - Chose the name Benedict after St. Benedict who started the Benedictine order whose Crest is an Olive Branch. So who is next? Pope Benedict the XVI is our current pope, and also the last pope before the prophesied  Petrus Romanus, the final pope. Could this man be the false prophet? Could this man really lead the Catholic church  into the tribulation period? Are we really that close? In Conclusion Friends, I can only give you the facts, and I cannot make you believe anything that is on this page, however, I can pray that you will open your heart to the truth! These are exciting times! What should you do? Accept Jesus. We can't change prophecy, and by the truths that I have shown, the rapture of the church is imminent, and for those left behind, great tribulation. I beg you friend, that if this scares you, intrigues you, or even bores you, do not take it lightly. Jesus is coming back, the dead in Christ shall rise first, but we who are alive and remain shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air! Oh, how glorious it will be for those who know Christ! But for those who do not, they will be left behind to endure the  judgments of God, and the reign of Antichrist.  Come to Jesus my friend. He loves you, and He does not want you to suffer through the judgments of the great tribulation, but if you are left behind, it will be so to get your attention! God sent His son  Jesus to literally die for your sin! God became His own wicked creation, and stepped into our world as a babe in a manger. Some 33 years later, He died on the Roman cross, a crucifixion that was long prophesied by the prophets of old. Jesus is about to return for His church, and let me ask you, will  you be raptured, or will you be...                                                Left Behind?

Will 2013 be the beginning of the End?

I feel the need to encourage other fellow believers about the return of Christ. I must admit that I have not had anything to bring to the table in the last few weeks as far as the blog is concerned. Now, I do. 

Like you, friend, I am, and have been long awaiting the return of Jesus Christ Himself to call His people up to Him. We have been squashed by false teachings and false hopes that set dates. I did set a timeline once that said Christ had to return by July 2, 2012. I was wrong. I jumped the gun, and without guidance from the Holy Spirit, I made a false statement. I have since repented, but I still continue to look for clues in this monumental puzzle we call Bible Prophecy. 

I'm sure if you are a bible believing Christian, you have noticed that the world we live in is not the same. That's a fair assumption, because it isn't the same. Jesus gave clear prophecies Himself about the end of the age in Matthew 24.

Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?”

The disciples were clearly asking the exact same thing many of us ask, but the answer is right there in front of us. 

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. ⁵ For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

Jesus immediately warns His disciples of deception. Jesus was telling them that He was the Only messiah. He was telling them that many false Christs, and false prophets would rise. We've seen this prophecy fulfilled before our very eyes in the past decade alone. I will not name names but I have a feeling if you noticed anything in 2011, and 2012, you know who I speak of.

6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

This is a big indicator of prophecy because we surely have heard of wars, and rumors of wars in the past few centuries, which adds to the argument "These things have always happened, what makes now any different?" The rest of His prophecy is the key. 

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

We have not seen this magnitude of earthquakes such as the one we see now in any time in human history. Every day there is an earthquake. Granted, earthquakes have always occurred, but the uptick in them has even got scientists worried. And you should also consider the 188 day cycle. If the cycle holds true, we can expect another sizable earthquake to occur on or around April 2, 2013. (There was an earthquake 188 days or so after the last one that I posted in the cited blog, I just never edited it.)

⁸ All these are the beginning of sorrows

Christ even says these are only the beginning.

⁹  “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake.

Now, you're probably saying "Well no one is getting killed for being a Christian." Want to think twice about that? Just because nobody is in America, doesn't mean that it isn't happening around the world. Just look at Egypt! They have been crucifying Christians ever since their king, Muhammad Mursi took power. And don't tell me you haven't been persecuted for your faith if you truly serve Christ, because if you haven't yet, you may want to reexamine your faith.

 ¹⁰ And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

I sort of snickered at this verse just because that is exactly what we are seeing today! If you say homosexuality is a sin, you're politically incorrect, and people hate you for it. Sound familiar? One of my favorite Christian actors, Kirk Cameron, has been the center of the homosexuality debate. People make him the center of their mockery, just because he believes what the bibles says. And when you mention abortion, people get offended because they don't care what God wants. I could chase this rabbit, but we have much more to cover.

¹¹ Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many

Again, Jesus makes references to these False Prophets. This shows the deception that we see in America. Because of False Prophets, people don't understand what will really happen in the last days. People are ignorant because the false prophets tell them that "you will have a lot longer to live, do what you want." And the biggest one is "if it makes you happy, do it." 

¹² And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

This sent shivers down my back. We see lawlessness every day! Murder, rape, theft! We see it every day! People care nothing of others, but only themselves. Remember, friends, this was prophesied.

¹³ But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

Endure these things! But I will tell you that it isn't the end...yet.

¹⁴ And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Just look at how many ministries there are! Missionaries, Television programs, Radio shows! The gospel is reaching the very corners of the earth! And once you see this happen, as we have, the end will come. But what is the end? The end is the seven year period of time in which the antichrist  confirms a peace agreement with Israel and the rest of the world, also known as The Tribulation.

The rest of Matthew 24 speaks of the tribulation itself. I hope to go through the verses as well on a later date. They speak of terrible times that will face the earth, and I pray that you will not have to face them. I encourage you to look through the posts in this blog concerning the blood moons and other astronomical, and political reasons that show Christ's coming is soon and imminent. 

Take heart brothers, and sisters, your redemption draws nigh. And you, friend, you must ask yourself the same thing Pilot asked some 2000 years ago, "What then shall I do with Jesus?" 

Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner in accordance to your word,

I believe that you literally died on the cross to save me from those very sins,

and I confess to you that I want you in my life Jesus. Save me, make me a new creature in you. I love you Lord, Amen.
