Comet Elenin and the Pole Shift Theory; 3/15/2011 and Beyond

The internet is all abuzz about a possible pole shift on or around March 15, 2011—the Ides of March. As the story goes it all started with a caller to the Alex Jones show stating that he had some inside info that there is going to be a pole shift on 3/15/2011. The caller was quickly dismissed and never mentioned after that and the call was deleted from the audio file--which sent the rumors flying. Now this could all be one big hoax or publicity gimmick but here is a recount of the story.

OK word for word from my husbands memory after the commercial break Alex Jones took calls the first call was about the dollar collapse the second call was from a caller named Chad from Washington (husband thinks bogus name) Chad starts off by saying I’m glad I got through I am calling you from the white house about something that needs to get out to the public (Alex says: your calling from the white house?) Chad: yes and what I have to say is very important myself and another member of this administration received a tip about a possible pole shift occurrence around mid march on or following the fifteenth I know leaking this information will inevitably be traced back to me but I plan to get my family and go to a safe location there is already a well thought out cover story Source: http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread659052/pg84

There are also a couple of YouTube videos circulating around with various pieces of information regarding this incident and the possible pole shift that have been fueling the fire. And adding to the hype; it was reported that one individual who put up you tube video about the Alex Jones cover-up and this comet was arrested in the middle of the night and his videos were taken down.

So from what I have gathered the theory is that comet Elenin was in alignment with the earth and sun on Feb 27, 2010 and that it caused a 3 degree pole shift and the 8.8 quake in Chile. The theory also states that the comet will again be in alignment with the earth on or about March 15, 2011 and that it will again cause problems for the earth, but because it is closer the effects will be worse than the first one.

Let’s see if we can make some sense of all this. First let’s take a look at the data for ourselves. I went to the NASA Near Earth Object Program http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/orbits/ and entered c/2010 x1 in the query box. I then moved the date back to 2/27/2010. As you can see below the comet was in alignment with the earth and sun on that date and its distance from the earth was 6.047 AU.

Here is the earthquake data from the USGS for the dates around 2/27/2010 for all quakes over 6. As you can see there were 14 quakes around that time with 12 on the 27th itself.

I then moved the program ahead and the next alignment happened on 9/3/2010 but the sun was between the earth and the comet and a little farther away at 6.269. So we would not expect to see as much, if any of a disturbance to the earth.

Here is the earthquake data for the days around 9/3/2010—4 quakes with 2 on the 3rd.

That is the data; so we have a lot of earthquake activity around both alignments. Is this more than normal? The USGS lists 173 quakes over magnitude 6 in 2010 so that averages out to about one every two days. So for the 2/27/2010 alignment there were 14 quakes in 3 days—way above average. For the 9/3/2010 date there were 4 quakes in 5 days, which is slightly above average.

Did the earth shift 3 degrees as claimed? I do not know, but if it did it might explain a lot of strange goings on; like the sun rising two days early in Greenland. Or the strange weather patterns we have been seeing all over the earth, or the Florida airport having to renumber their runway by 10 degrees because of the change in magnetic north.

So is the theory correct? Will this comet cause a devastating pole shift? Some may dismiss this whole notion as nonsense, but historical and scientific records indicate that there have been pole shifts in the past. And let’s not forget about the normalcy bias—just because something has not happened in a long time does not mean it cannot happen again. So what are we to make of this theory that comet Elenin will cause a pole shift? I see three possible answers.

1. This is nothing more than fear mongering and they may want to hype people up about this so that many expect it and then nothing happens and so the next time a credible threat exists people will just dismiss it. Remember Y2K?

2. The above average earthquakes on the alignment days and possible 3 degree pole shift were caused by HAARP or scalar means and they are using the comet as a cover for their actions. Their purpose in this would be to bring death and destruction upon the world and throw it into chaos with the ultimate goal of taking over the world.

3. Comet Elenin caused the earthquakes and a 3 degree pole shift and will cause future problems and they are trying to cover this up.

Those are the possibilities as I see them. Could it be #3, could a comet cause earthquakes and pole shifts? If you consider comets to be dirty snowballs and only think of their gravitational effect, then no. But there are other aspects to consider in our “electric” universe which my research leads me to believe that comets are electrical in nature and can affect the Earth directly and indirectly via interactions with the Sun.

Is Comet Elenin the famed Planet X or Nibiru as some call it, or just another comet? Will it cause pole shifts, earthquakes and other severe Earth changes? At this point I do not know. Let’s assume for sake of argument that the theory about Elenin is correct and extrapolate some of the data to see what we can conclude.

As already noted the next time the comet aligns with earth is 3/15/2011 and it will be at a distance of 2.099 as depicted below.

So if their theory is correct and the comet caused the 8.8 quake in Chile and moved the earth 3 degrees when it was at a distance of 6.047 and it caused a proportional response to the earth on 3/15/2011 when its distance is 2.099 what might we expect to see? The effect would be 2.88 (6.047/2.099) times greater. Thus if the first one caused a 3 degree shift then the March 15 alignment could cause a 3 x 2.88 = 8.6 degree shift and an earthquake 2.88 times greater would be 8.8 + log 2.88 = 9.25 on the Richter scale. If the effect will be proportional to the square of the distance it would have about an 8.3 times greater effect, yielding a 25 degree shift and a 9.7 quake.

The next alignment will be on 9/26/2011 at a distance of .392. At this alignment the comet will be between the sun and the earth. Assuming a proportional effect as noted above would yield an influence of 6.047/.392 = 15.4 times greater. Causing a 3 x 15.4 = 46.2 degree shift and an earthquake 15.4 times greater would be 8.8 + log 15.4 = 10 on the Richter scale. If the effect will be proportional to the square of the distance it would have about a 240 times greater effect. If either of these were to occur I believe there would be catastrophic Earth changes.

The comet is predicted to be the closest to Earth on 10/16/2011 at a distance of .24—the middle of the feast of Tabernacles.

We should also look out for dates when the Earth crosses the comet’s tail or debris field. The Earth could possibly cross the comet’s debris trail about Nov 6, 2011.

It would then align with the sun and Earth again shortly thereafter on Nov 22, 2011 at a distance of .586. and depending on the length of the tail could cross it then. Interesting date: 11/22/2011—1122211 or 11/22/11.

The earth could then again possibly go through the comet’s debris trail on April 21, 2012.


Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech.

It would align with the earth and sun again on Dec 25, 2012 at a distance of 5.242—pretty close to the infamous 12/21/2012.

In summary according to the latest data;

3/15/2011 alignment—sun earth comet (2.099)
9/26/2011 alignment—sun comet earth (.392)
10/16/2011 closest (.24)
11/6/2011 possible debris field interaction
11/22/2011 alignment—sun earth comet (.586) possible tail interaction
4/21/2012 possible debris field interaction
12/25/2012 alignment—sun earth comet (5.242)

Here are a few more tidbits about comet ELENIN—interesting name ELEven NINe 11 9. Comet Elenin was discovered by Leonid Elenin, whose name means, Lion"! And is in Leo (the lion) at Tabernacles, and could create a meteor shower just before the annual Leonid ("lion") meteor shower. Clearly, God is saying that this comet symbolizes the coming of the Lion of Judah! But this is just another token sign -- keep that in mind! It does not mean that Jesus will return at this time!!! http://www.bible-codes.org/Egypt-bible-Hosni.htm#Notes

What will happen in a pole shift? Earthquakes, tsunamis, disappearing and rising lands, sea level rise, long winters/summers, super storms, crop failures, massive flooding, fires, the appearance of two suns, communication disruptions, infrastructure collapse, strange atmospheric phenomena, solar flares and EMPs. So in other words it would be devastating; unless of course the little green demon men arrived to save the planet.

Also as I mentioned earlier the historical scientific records indicate that there have been pole shifts in the past. I believe one occurred when Jesus died on the cross—and life went on; for some of us it was the beginning of life. But life on earth in the past was much different than now. They lived without electricity, cars, modern buildings, plumbing, internet, etc. So if a severe pole shift occurred now it could destroy much of our modern infrastructure—which for many would be devastating.

Are there any end times Bible prophecies regarding an event like this? We know that the world will go through very trying and troublous times leading up to the return of the Lord and the rapture and there will be signs in the heavens.

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; 26. Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. 27. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Luke 21:25-27.

Is this planet X or just some new ordinary comet? Is all this hype about a comet just fear mongering or is it a cover for actions of satan and his minions against humanity, or is there really a serious threat coming and they are trying to cover it up?

I guess March 15, 2011 will tell us a lot; if we see an above 9 earthquake around that time, and a small pole shift then that may indicate that the theory is true. Another tell-tale sign will be if we start to see interactions between other planets and the comet and or sun. Let me mention that its orbit at this time has eccentricity above 1 which indicates a hyperbolic orbit inferring that it is not planet X. But if new calculations would show the eccentricity to be less than one, indicating an elliptical orbit it could be a Planet X candidate. Also keep an eye on the powers to be to see if they start making themselves scarce at crucial times.

In conclusion I do not know if this comet will cause a pole shift and devastating Earth changes. However I do believe that it is not outside the realm of the possible. I also realize that all this hype may just be fear mongering or a cover for sinister actions against mankind.

So what am I going to do about the whole matter? Pray, seek God, ask Him to lead guide and direct me and I am not worrying about it. I am also going to watch carefully for any developments along these lines especially around the March 15, 2011 date.

Should you have preparations in case this threat is real? You should have preparations whether this is going to happen or not because there are many things looming on the horizon—namely seals 1-5. As time goes by and if we see more evidence that the theory about the comet is true then more drastic preparations may be warranted—like getting away from coastal regions, fault lines, and big cities.

So what do you think of this whole matter; Is it #1 Fear mongering so when nothing happens and a real threat comes people will then dismiss it. #2 A cover for evil actions against humanity or #3 An “Earth changing” comet that they are trying to cover up?

Update: The Japan quake on 3/11/2011 was within the Elenin alignment period. Let us pray for the nation of Japan. Here is some updated information regarding the Japan quake; I assumed the Chile quake was given in richter scale--the way I was taught years ago. I have found that they use different scales now even though it gives basically the same results. Explained in this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale.

Above I calculated the 3/15 alignment would yield a quake 2.88 times greater that calculated to a 9.25 magnitude earthquake. In further investigating earthquake measurement techniques I found that a 9.1 earthquake is 1.955 times bigger than a magnitude 8.8 earthquake on a seismogram, but is 2.82 times stronger (energy release). How big was the Japan earthquake? 9.1.

So if the next alignment around 9/26 produces an earthquake 15.4 times greater in energy release it would have a magnitude of about 9.5-6.

I have completed several other investigative post about the comet Elenin theory and have discovered some truly amazing things and have come to some conclusions about the whole matter--they are listed and linked in the sidebar. There is also a post about a "Tsunami Cloud Sign"  that is on a direct line between the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the Japan quake location that is a must read.

Here is a link to an update post about comet Elenin from July 2011 http://endtimesforecaster.blogspot.com/2011/07/comet-elenin-update.html Here is a snippet;

So what is Elenin going to be; a non event, a brown dwarf causing total devastation, or an "earth changing" comet?

First off let me state that I do not think that it is going to be a non-event--whether it was the cause or a sign we have already seen events on alignment dates. And those dates have associations with the Palestinian state-- so Elenin is already an "event."...

But on the other hand I also do not think that Elenin is planet X or a brown dwarf--it is too early for that yet--that event will most likely occur at the rapture at seal 6 after the arising of the antichrist and the abomination of desolation. So I perceive that there is a lot of psy-op hype about this comet.

So I will stick with my original conclusion it is a comet and "In light of the comet's connections to Israel and the Palestinian state whether this comet is a sign or causal agent I believe it will be associated with judgment upon the earth."

What might the judgments entail--maybe a 9.5-6 earthquake with tsunamis. I believe the major determining factor in the judgment will be Israel and the Palestinian state. If the world comes against Israel, judgment will come against the world. What if the world backed off from creating the Palestinian state; could God have mercy on us and destroy the comet? With the whisper of a word.

Another aspect of the associated judgment with this comet may be the "arrival" or should I say greater manifestation of ETs/demons as alluded to in Rev 12...

Israel, Iran, and The Suez Canal

UPDATE #3: An earthquake measuring 5.9 on the Richter scale shook the entrance of the Suez canal 3 A.M. Monday morning for 27 minutes. This speaks volumes.

UPDATE #2: It is now being reported that the 2 ships have not passed through the Suez due to a growing fleet of U.S. warships. There is a bit of a standstill and the next scheduled crossing is for Tuesday night 2/22/11. Interesting date.

UPDATE: The 2 ships have snuck through the Suez canal undercover of a sandstorm. One of the ships is reported to be carrying a cargo of missiles. I feel certain that either the United States or Israel will take action. Look out; sparks are flying near the powder keg.

Cairo and Tehran connived to slip the two Iranian warships through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean Sunday, Feb. 20, after a series of fake delaying tactics agreed between them to cover the flotilla's movements. Egypt's military rulers approved the passage of Iranian flotilla through the Suez Canal without inspecting their freights for banned cargo, taking advantage of the sandstorm over the region which obscured them from spy satellites and helped them to give monitors the slip. Source Debka

Looks as if a showdown is looming; Egypt is allowing the two Iranian ships to pass through the Suez Canal.

CAIRO -- Egypt has agreed to allow two Iranian naval vessels to transit the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, a military official said Friday, ending several days of confusion over their planned passage, which Israel's foreign minister has labeled a provocation. Source: Fox News

Israel said the other day that they would take action against such a move.

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said in an e-mailed statement that "Israel is closely following the movements of the Iranian ships and has updated friendly states on the issue. Israel will continue to follow the ships movements."... A senior Israeli official tells the site that "Israel will know how to deal with it." Source: Fox News

I have no idea what this will lead to but there are many scenarios which I foresee. For one it could very easily escalate into an all out war between Israel and Iran and her neighbors. This could disrupt the supply of oil causing the price of oil and its derivatives to skyrocket which would send the world's economies over the edge resulting in hyperinflation virtually overnight. So this situation bears watching--I hope this does not happen.

Let's hope we can stop this from developing--like blocking the Iranian ships.

Not surprisingly, two US naval groups - an aircraft carrier and a big-deck amphibious warfare ship - are now situated at either end of the Red Sea, where the Iranian flotilla is supposedly located. Will the US presence be enough to prevent escalation? Source: Zero Hedge


Whether or not this is going to be the event that sends our economy over the edge I do not know. But I do believe that our economy will one day be destroyed so that we will readily join the New World Order--that is their plan. Are you prepared for such an event?

The Palestinian Decision--Wavering

Update: This is good news; The U.S. today vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution that would have condemned Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem as "illegal" and ordered all construction operations there to stop.

U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice said after the vote that the U.S. position should not be seen as a support for Israel's settlement program. "We reject in the strongest terms the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," she said. Source: ABC News

Looks like the USA is wavering on its position on the Palestinian state.

The U.S. informed Arab governments Tuesday that it will support a U.N. Security Council statement reaffirming that the 15-nation body "does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement activity," a move aimed at avoiding the prospect of having to veto a stronger Palestinian resolution calling the settlements illegal.

But the Palestinians rejected the American offer following a meeting late Wednesday of Arab representatives and said it is planning to press for a vote on its resolution on Friday, according to officials familiar with the issue. The decision to reject the American offer raised the prospect that the Obama administration will cast its first ever veto in the U.N. Security Council...

Source: Turtle Bay

It looks like Friday is the crucial day. Let's pray--for the sake of our country and our children--that we veto the resolution and do not support the U.N. security council statement.

The Palestinian Decision--For Now

Looks like the state department has made it clear that they will veto the move to freeze Israeli settlements and to try to stop other nations from recognizing the Palestinian state. Maybe that is why we have had some nicer weather lately!

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The United States, a veto-wielding permanent UN Security Council member, will use "the tools that we have" to block a resolution condemning Israeli settlements, a top US diplomat said Thursday...Steinberg also told the lawmakers that Washington was making a vigorous diplomatic campaign to stop countries from declaring their recognition of an independent Palestinian state, as several Latin American nations have done.

The next date to watch for is the summer of 2011 when the palestinian state is scheduled to be created.

Tribulations

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5. Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 2 Thes 1:4,5

Since beginning this blog back in March 2010 the amount of tribulations that I have experienced seems to be steadily increasing. For example just in the last few months I have had 4 viruses, I was cheated out of $1000 plus from a fellow Christian, had a car window smashed or shot out, my credit card was hacked, pellet stove broke, have had many sicknesses in my household, plus other things I will not mention. And just two days ago within hours of posting Is the Rapture Imminent? I had 2 immediate family members come down with high fevers and an hour after that I was taking another family member back from the doctor for a recheck on pneumonia and the spark plug blew out of my Ford requiring it to be towed to the shop for a costly repair. (Just found out it is an all to common problem with some Ford engines--they will be getting a letter!).

Now these things are not really all that bad--like what some may be experiencing such as cancer, loss of job, house foreclosures, deaths in the family, prison, etc. But for me they have been very trying and at times overwhelming because many things happened all at once.

In experiencing these things I began wondering; was I doing something wrong--was God punishing me? I felt that these tribulations were related to the blogging. On several occasions things got so intense I was ready to just shut the whole thing down, but many people have encouraged me and thanked me for helping them understand various end times truths. I sought the Lord in prayer and beseeched Him about these things willing to do whatever He wanted me to do.

I shared my difficulties with a few people who helped me to get a handle on the whole situation. Here is my conclusion; When you stand for the truth of God's Word tribulation will come your way. I also believe that the tribulations will increase more and more as we see the day drawing near but so will God's Spirit.

I tell you these things because maybe for some of you since you may have begun believing the truth about certain end times topics, and sharing it with others, you have had an increase in tribulations too. So take heart because it "is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God." We also know God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God to those called according to His purpose. So if God allows it in our life He will use it for our good.

I also tell you these things because I need your prayers for God to encourage me, strengthen me, protect me and my family, and guide me in the His perfect will. So when you read this blog if you could remember to say a little prayer for me and my family I would really appreciate it.

So I also ask your prayers for God to speak through me in putting the data together in a coherent easily understandable format and that satan would not be allowed to hinder me in the work.

Is the Rapture Imminent?

Is the rapture imminent? The believers in Thessalonica were addressed by God through the apostle Paul on that very subject. The Thessalonians thought that the Day of the Lord/rapture was ready to occur or had already occurred and they missed it.

1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2. That ye 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. 2 Thes 2:1,2

Paul was trying to comfort their shaken mind regarding the timing of the rapture--"the coming of the Lord and our gathering together unto him." Paul's response...

3. 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; 4. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 5. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

Here Paul clearly tells them that the day--day of Christ/the rapture--cannot come unless a couple of things happen first;

1. A falling away.

2. The man of sin--the antichrist--is revealed, worshipped as God and sits in the temple as God.

The falling away is a time when Christians in large numbers will suddenly forsake the faith. The man of sin sits in the temple as God at the abomination of desolation which happens near the middle of the last 7 years.


With that in mind let me state the verse more plainly; let no man deceive you by any means: for the rapture shall not come, except there come a falling away first and the antichrist performs the abomination of desolation. So how can the rapture be imminent if those things have to happen first? It can't be. The rapture cannot be imminent until these things are fulfilled. BTW without imminency the pre tribulation rapture theory cannot stand.

So to answer the question; Is the rapture imminent? No, it will not be imminent until the great falling away and abomination of desolation occurs--let no man deceive you by any means.

Setting Dates

Throughout our lifetimes we have most likely heard of someone setting a date for the rapture or the "end of the world"--the latest example being Harold Camping of Family Radio--May 21, 2011.

On May 21st, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture (the taking up into heaven of God’s elect people) will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21st, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation). http://www.ebiblefellowship.com/may21/

Will this be the way it happens? Absolutely not! How do we know? Because of what scripture says. God clearly tells us that no one knows the day or hour of the rapture. God also clearly tells us that before Christ returns at Armageddon the antichrist will reign for 3.5 years, and the trumpet and bowl judgments will occur. So therefore according to scripture the rapture will not occur on May 21, 2011 and the world will not end on October 21, 2011 or for that matter any time before the antichrist begins to reign. This is what a literal interpretation of scripture demands. The only way people can support erroroneous theories such as the one above is to forsake a literal interpretation of scripture and spiritualize everything.

I feel led to address this issue...First off let me plainly state I do not know when Christ will return and I do not know when the rapture will occur. Scripture is clear that the antichrist is only given 3.5 years to reign.

3. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

4. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5. And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9. If any man have an ear, let him hear. Rev 13:3-9

His reign begins after the abomination of desolation and continues for forty two months--3.5 years until he is thrown in the bottomless pit at the return of Christ. We also know that after his reign begins he will start to persecute Jews and Christians--seal 5.

1. Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2. That ye 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.

3. 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;

4. Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 2 Thes 2:1-4

And it was given unto 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

After the persecution of seal 5 Christians will be rescued at the rapture which occurs after the sixth seal is opened, God's wrath is then poured out upon the world.

12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16. And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? Rev 6:12-17

So it will be possible to set a date for the return of Christ after we see the abomination of desolation and the antichrist take over the world. It will be 42 months or 1260 days after that and the rapture would occur at an unknown time between those two events.

Again In my writings I am not predicting when Christ will return. I do not know when it will be. When will we know for sure? When we either know for sure that a seal has occurred or see the antichrist arise.

I suggest reading The Coming Epiphany for a further explanation.

O Daughter of Babylon

The day after posting The New Madrid Fault--Connecting the Dots where I stated; "...there is a lot of information suggesting that the New Madrid Fault may once again cause a serious earthquake in the future. When I do not know. What might some immediate precursors be? The USA forcing Israel to divide her land and create the Palestinian state--if you see that happen look out!"
The next morning I randomly opened my Bible to Isaiah 47.

1. Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate.

Who is the daughter of Babylon? Hmm...let's see, it can't be Babylon because it is her daughter. So I guess it would have to be another Babylon. What other Babylon is listed in scripture? The end times Babylon. Who is end times Babylon? America. For further reading and convincing upon those lines read the post America Is End Times Babylon.

Let's read on...

2. Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.

3. Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I will not meet thee as a man.

4. As for our redeemer, the LORD of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

5. Sit thou silent, and get thee into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called, The lady of kingdoms.

6. I was wroth with my people, I have polluted mine inheritance, and given them into thine hand: thou didst shew them no mercy; upon the ancient hast thou very heavily laid thy yoke.

Here we read that the Lord is going to take vengeance upon the daughter of Babylon--America, the lady of kingdoms--for her mistreatment of Israel--thou didst shew them no mercy after God gave them into our hand--we have been the nation who has protected and stood with Israel the most of any nation but as the scriptures tell us we will one day betray her.

7. And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.

8. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
This pretty much typifies the attitude of America--thinks she is invincible, given to pleasure, believes she is the greatest, no one can take us down. What will happen to her?

9. But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

10. For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me.

11. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know.

12. Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

13. Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee.

14. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it.

15. Thus shall they be unto thee with whom thou hast laboured, even thy merchants, from thy youth: they shall wander every one to his quarter; none shall save thee.
Unfortunately because of our many sins and our mistreatment of Israel which most likely involve the dividing of her land to create the Palestinian state we will be judged. What will the judgment entail, will it result in the New Madrid fault splitting this country in two? I do not know, but I do know that we will eventually receive judgments for our many sins.

My study of scripture and current events has led me to believe that we will see severe economic problems, rioting, earthquakes, severe weather, tsunami's, EMPs, nuclear attacks, biological attacks. Then just after the rapture the USA will be totally destroyed by an all out nuclear attack during WWIII with fire engulfing the whole land. And finally toward the end of the 7 years she will sink below the waves and will be no more. This is the fate of America--O daughter of Babylon!

O beautiful for spacious skies

for amber waves of grain,

for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee and you refused His Grace and will be engulfed by sea to shining sea!

O America! O America! How I wish it were not true. I pray that many would be brought to repentance before it is too late.
