My heart was saddened, as I am sure yours was, at all the destruction that has taken place in the heartland of our country. My prayers are with you. One of the areas that experienced a large amount of destruction was Joplin, MO. where the tornado on May 22, 2011 left at least 125 people dead. I felt prompted to check a few things.
The first thing I checked was "the line." If you are not familar with that term in my writings it means to check the location and see if it forms any prominent lines with other "important" places or is close to an already existing "important" line. Well it just so happens that the center of Joplin, Mo is about 33 miles from what I call the death line. You can read about the death line in The Next Big Event post, but it starts at Washington, D.C., goes through a masonic tomb in the layout of Washington D.C., and goes to Phoenix, Arizona. As you can see below the path of the tornado in red is just about parralel to the death line in blue.
The next thing I checked was the meaning of Joplin. There are 4 possible meanings--the first and most prominent is associated with Job.
Last name: Joplin
Recorded in the spellings of Joblin, Jobling, Joplin, and Jopling, this interesting surname is medieval English, and has at least four possible origins. The first is that it may be a diminutive of the famous name Job, introduced into Europe by returning Crusaders of the 12th century... Read more: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Joplin#ixzz1NTHojGx3
God gave satan permission to attack Job and his possesions one of those attacks was a destroying wind that killed his children.
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house: 19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee Job 1:18,19
What does all this mean? I am not sure, but I see connections-- Joplin or Job-lin 33 miles (3x11) from the death line, the tornado path parallel to the death line, the death line and the masonic tomb, the tornado hit on May 22 (2x11). And let's not forget about what happened between Israel and the USA a few days earlier as explained in the Continuing Whirlwind and the 1967 Borders post.
Let's distill it: we go against Israel and shortly thereafter we receive a judgmet by a whirlwind that is associated to a satanic death line. But of course it was "just another coincidence."
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind; Jer 51:1
So what can we infer? If our actions toward Israel continue down this path then we may see future judgments along this or other lines. I have said it before, I will say it again; AMERICA DO NOT DIVIDE THE LAND OF ISRAEL!

God made a covenant with a people group thousands of years ago and He is still keeping that covenant today. The covenant was made with Abraham and his descendants.
And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.
7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. Gen 17:1:8
As you well know the descendants of Abraham are the nation of Israel. So God has made an everlasting covenant with the nation of Israel. God has also promised to return to others what they do to her, both good and bad.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen 12:3
So in other words "Back off." Don't mess with Israel or you will bring judgment upon yourself. Look Israel is not perfect they have committed sins--many of which are listed in scripture. But that does not give any nation the right to go against them. They are God's special people and God has made a covenant with them and has promised to return in kind what others do to them. BTW Christians are special too--God's children.
Soo... I believe that the latest turn in events that has been all over the news between the United States and Israel is not good and will result in judgment coming upon us. What did we do to them? We made it clear that the United States--who by our own admission "owns" the peace process--is pursuing a radical policy change in that we want Israel to return to its 1967 pre-war borders (map 1) while establishing the Palestinian state. The administration back pedaled a little bit on that and are now saying the 1967 borders with mutually agreed swaps.
In fact we have the support of many nations in this 1967 borders endeavor and are trying to gain more support.
Obama has already secured the political backing of the United Nations, European Union and Russia who, with America, are collectively known as the "quartet". Signalling his determination to keep up pressure on Israel, Obama will be looking to enlist the public support of the UK prime minister.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/21/obama-cameron-pre-1967-palestinian-borders
Israel's response: Israel said this is unacceptable because it would place them in an indefensible position and our demands were like a slap in the face that sent chills through Israel's government. In response Israel also announced plans to build 1500 more settlements in East Jerusalem.
So knowing that God will return to us what we have done to her, how might God respond to our actions in leading the world against Israel? Well what are we trying to do to them? We are trying to force Israel to give up about 2800 sq miles--about 30% of their land--that would cut their land in half and would put them in an indefensible position--it would bring them back to 1967. We are also basically saying that their 1967 war was illegitimate. This was truly a slap in the face! And the latest is that we have told Israel that patience is running out in regards to the peace process--inferring that they are to blame for this whole mess.
I like the way Ultraguy from New Wineskins put it; "Put another way, the President of the United States is not only joining, for the first time in history, all other nations on the planet in opposing Israel’s right and ability to defend itself (and thus it’s right to exist). He is leading that initiative, raising the nations’ expectations, adding fuel to those sentiments" http://newine.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/the-67-borders-another-quick-note/
So if God were to respond to us in kind then what might He do to us? Well I believe that God's patience is running out with us and maybe He will make us give up a portion of our land--cutting our land in half--that would put us in an indefensible position which might bring us back to 1967 in a lot of ways. How do you say New Madrid Fault with lands under water? I am not predicting anything but I feel confident that if we cause them to split their land that God will split ours and we may well see the Gulf of Mexico connect to the Great Lakes!
I would not expect this to happen until we actually cause this to be done to them but it would not surprise me to see serious troubles brought upon us in the meantime for what we have said, trying to warn us not to do this, such as; storms, floods, earthquakes, terrorist actions, tsunamis, financial turmoil, etc.
I have a scripture for this whole situation, I randomly opened my Bible to Ezekiel 36. How it fits is truly amazing.
1 Also, thou son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD:
2 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because the enemy hath said against you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession:
3 Therefore prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because they have made you desolate, and swallowed you up on every side, that ye might be a possession unto the residue of the heathen, and ye are taken up in the lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the people:
4 Therefore, ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD; Thus saith the Lord GOD to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes, and to the cities that are forsaken, which became a prey and derision to the residue of the heathen that are round about;
5 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have appointed my land into their possession with the joy of all their heart, with despiteful minds, to cast it out for a prey.
6 Prophesy therefore concerning the land of Israel, and say unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my fury, because ye have borne the shame of the heathen:
7 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; I have lifted up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, they shall bear their shame.
As you can see the passage talks about how the heathen speak against Israel and claim their land for themselves--sound familiar? After reading the passage, and there is a lot more to it and I would suggest reading the rest of the chapter, I got thinking about what happened the night before to me and how it was a small microcosm of what just happened to Israel--I was verbally slapped in the face, Israel was verbally slapped in the face--then God brings me to this passage about how the heathen have spoken against her and are threatening to take her land and that God will not forsake her and that all her adversaries will be dealt with harshly as they have dealt with her!
The position that our country is placing ourselves in is treacherous and it is unfortunate because I do not believe that this is the sentiment of the American people. In fact a recent Fox News poll showed that 89% of respondents felt it was wrong to try to make Israel go back to her 1967 borders. Why won't the leaders listen? I will say it again for the sake of our country and our children maybe it will reach the ears of the decision makers; America stop "cursing" Israel or God will continue to "curse" us and we will bring judgment upon our heads. Let's not forget The Tsunami Sign.
Will the nations ever learn? No--End times Bible prophecy tells us that the nations will come against Israel, divide her land, and leave her desolate, but that does not mean that America has to--I pray we don't. What will God do in response to the nations that come against Israel? Jeremiah 30 has the sobering "continuing whirlwind" answer;
3. For, lo, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith the LORD: and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it...
10 Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.
11 For I am with thee, saith the LORD, to save thee: though I make a full end of all nations whither I have scattered thee, yet I will not make a full end of thee: but I will correct thee in measure, and will not leave thee altogether unpunished...
15 Why criest thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after...
23 Behold, the whirlwind of the LORD goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind: it shall fall with pain upon the head of the wicked.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD shall not return, until he hath done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.

Does Planet X exist, If so, where is it, and when will it effect us, and most importantly how does all of this fit in with end times Bible prophecy? These are the questions that I will attempt to answer in this post. But before I do that let me first state why. There is a lot of hype and disinformation going on in regards to the items above. The cyber sheep dogs are out in in force trying to scare and herd the sheople--I believe that God wants His children to not be subject to the wiles and deceptions of the devil. So I am seeking to discern the truth about these things and pass on the information to help others--for the truth will set us free. Let me also state that I am not an astronomer--just a truth seeker trying to integrate current events with end times Bible prophecy.
Does Planet X exist? I believe it does. Why? Because of the historical records, modern observations, and end times Bible prophecy. First let's discuss the names of the celestial bodies involved with the Planet X theory. As the theory goes there is a brawn dwarf star that has 7 planets orbiting it, the outermost is Nibiru/Planet X.
There are seven planets in the binary Dark Star system according to the myth. I suggest that one of the inner planets is a habitable world similar to Earth. It is warmed by its proximity to the brown dwarf, and is bathed in its very dim, reddish light. The planets orbit the dark star in a pro-grade movement, in keeping with the initial formation of the binary star system 4.6 billion years ago. They also orbit the Dark Star in much less time than it takes for it to transit perihelion around the Sun. Even the outermost planet shown, which is seen cutting through the outer planetary solar system, is moving faster than the Dark Star. The result is that, although the Dark Star and its outermost planet are actually moving pro-grade, from the point of view of an observer on Earth the outermost planet is seen to move retrograde across the sky. This explains a long-standing anomaly...that outermost planet is Nibiru. It is seen from Earth as a planetary comet...
So according to the theory the 2 main celestial items of interest are the brown dwarf star and it's outermost planet Nibiru. It is this Nibiru that many call Planet X and has gone by many other names throughout the ages as indicated by the historical records.
The Historical Records
There is a lot of information on the Internet and in books regarding Planet X in historical writings. Here is a snippet from an article regarding this.
Names of the planet: The Ancient Sumerians called this planet, Nibiru. The Egyptians named it, "The Planet of a Million Years." Ancient Babylon renamed it Marduk, the name of their god. Planet #10 or the 12th celestial body in our solar system. Planet X Eris Nemesis Hercolubus, The God's Planet, Planet of the Empire Planet of the Cross The Red Planet
I'm unable to sort these out, but Nibiru is said to have several satellites or other celestial bodies in relation to it with names such as Dysnomia (Gabriel), Santa, 2005 Fy9, Sedna, Orcus, Quaoar, Ixioon, Varuna. Sumerian writings say that a satellite of Nibiru hit another planet called Tiamat creating the Asteroid Belt.
How has Nibiru/Planet X effected the earth in the past? Here is a summary from the first post in this series.
Earthquakes, pole shifts, 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.
End Times Bible Prophecy
Many end times prophetic scriptures indicate that great earth changes will take place that are similar to what many theorize will happen during a Planet X passage.
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. 15And 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.
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: 30 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. 31 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. Mt 24:29-31
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. 28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21:25-28
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: Joel 2:30-32
Again, if you consider the celestial events listed above they are similar with what many believe will transpire at a Planet X passage and geo physical pole shift. I discissed this in the post entitled Pole Shift Rapture.
So based on the historical records, modern observations, and end times Biblical prophecy I believe that Planet X is coming and that the greatest effect of its passage will coincide with the sixth seal and the rapture. So I am not in the least bit concerned with ill effects from Planet X or having to prepare to live through it because I believe that Christians will be raptured at that time. See the post Sixth Seal Rapture where I present a logical proof of why the rapture must occur at the sixth seal.
Where is planet X now? I saw an interesting video that I added to the last Comet Elenin post which pointed out a possible location for planet X. Here is the video.
I double checked the info in the video and it was accurate. Here is how to do it if you want to see for yourself. Open up Google Earth. On the top toolbar click on the planet and click on "sky." After opening up Google Sky go to the left side of the screen and click on "Earth Gallery." On the Earth Gallery page go to the tabs at the top and click on "More." Then click on "Sky." Then find "The Infrared Sky" and click on "open in Google Earth." It will ask what you want to do with the file--click on open. You now have infrared sky added to Google Earth. Next--with Google Sky open click on this link http://www.astronomia.org/kml/c/CK10X010_en.kmz to add Elenin data to Google Sky. Next in the location box enter; 9h48m, 13.28 and click enter and the program will take you to the location in the video. Here is what you should see.
Zoom out and you will see how this object is situated in regards to the path of comet Elenin--the object appears to be in the middle but of course is very far away but is very close to being on plane with Elenin.
Now let me show you a couple of other things. First put a pin marker on the location above by clicking on the pin on the top toolbar--you can name it whatever you like. Then click on The Infrared Sky on the left side of the screen to turn it off. Then go up to the toolbar at the top and click on Earth and this is what you will see.
This is the path of Elenin traced upon the Earth--of course the earth spins so any location on that lattitude would pass beneath Elenin--I assume that these locations were placed there by Google Earth because they are closest to Elenin throughout its orbital path. (actually they have the same lat long numbers, which would be closest at a certain time of day.) Now let me show you something else that may just be coincidental or may be significant. If you double click on the pin marker name on the right that you just added you will be taken to this location on the earth--the Atlantic ocean.
Do you see the X? Here is the photo enhanced.
Interesting--of course there are other places on the sea floor that have an X--so it may mean nothing. BTW each part of the X is about 330 miles long.
There is something else you should see in Google Sky. Turn Sky and The Infrared Sky back on and put in the location -8.5, 27 and press enter and you will be taken to the blacked out anomoly featured in earlier videos posted in the Elenin series which looks like this.
Now lets look at all 3 features together--with the locations of the 2 objects circled.
So we have 2 items of interest, and the path of Elenin that appear to be on the same plane. Let's also keep in mind that the Infrared pics are from 2007 and the Elenin data is for 2011. One investigator has sugested that the location of the second object is in the same general location of where comet Elenin should have been in 2007. So we have 2 objects of interest and Elenin on the same plane--so it is possible that there is an orbital association between them. Is one of these objects the brown dwarf and the other Nibiru? Is Elenin a cluster of comets orbiting one of these bodies? I do not know.
Here is another peice of information to consider.
Researcher, Cristian Negureanu, sent this explanation for the interest in Planet X or Nibiru.
The real cause of climate changes, volcanoes activity, intensification of the seismic activity etc., is the planet Eris’s getting closer to our solar system, intermediary named 2003 – UB – 313, and known in Antiquity under various names as: Nibiru, Marduk, Nemesis, Hercolubus, the Gods Planet, the Planet of the Empire, the Planet of the Cross or the Red Planet. Below is a short record of the first (recent) contacts with Eris:
First observed on October 21, 2003 using the 1.22 Oschin telescope, at Mount Palomar Observatory ( California ). Discovered by Michael E. Brown, Chad Trujillo, David L. Rabinovitz, on January 5, 2005, based on the photos taken at the above mentioned date.
Furter observations published in October 2005 have shown a satellite named Dysnomia (Gabriel).
The planet Eris/ Nibiru periodically getting closer to Earth once in 3,600 years generates numerous climate changes, one being the global warming with its natural consequence... Eris is expected to pass between Mars and Jupiter its nearest point to Earth during 2012 – 2014.

That is what I have found; so what are my conclusions:
1. Planet X exists and is on its way toward earth and I believe its major events will coincide with seal 6 and the rapture. I also believe that this will most likely occur after the antichrist has taken over the world. There is a lot of info pointing to the antichrist arising after 12/21/2012 thus that would place the planet X/sixth seal event circa 2013-2015--interesting that the researcher above places the closest passing of Eris to be between 2012 and 2014.
2. Comet Elenin is a cluster of comets that may be orbiting one of the objects above. Let me repeat my conclusion regarding this comet from other posts "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." On past alignment dates we have seen strong earthquakes and tsunamis and may see more of the same on future alignment dates and possibly other effects enumerated in the post.
I have heard that some people are "heading for the hills"--believing that Elenin is Planet X and will cause massive destruction and a pole shift. Even though--based on its Israel/Palestine connection--I believe that Elenin may spell trouble for the earth, I do not think that it is planet X nor do I think it will cause a pole shift. However comets can effect the earth and its effects could range from minimal to severe--see the post entitled Comet Elenin--Coming into Focus. I could be wrong but that is the way I see things now.
Update #1
I just ran across this scientific report by Dr Omerbashich substantiating Elenin's effect on generating earthquakes (THX Garden Girl from Running from Babylon)
I here demonstrate empirically my georesonator concept in which tidally induced magnification of Earth masses' resonance causes seismicity. To that end, I show that all strong (~M6+) earthquakes of 2010 occurred during the Earth's long (t>3 day) astronomical alignments within our solar system. I then show that the same holds true for all very strong (~M8+) earthquakes of the decade of 2000s. Finally, the strongest (M8.6+) earthquakes of the past century are shown to have occurred during the Earth's multiple long alignments, whereas half of the high-strongest (M9+) ones occurred during the Full Moon. I used the comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin), as it has been adding to robustness in terms of very strong seismicity since 2007 (in terms of strongest seismicity: since 1965). The Elenin will continue intensifying the Earth's very strong seismicity until August-October, 2011. Approximate forecast of earthquakes based on my discoveries is feasible. This demonstration proves my hyperresonator concept, arrived at earlier as a mathematical-physical solution to the most general extension of the georesonator concept possible.

(This is a repost in case you missed it the first time, let's pray for those who have been deceived by this false teaching and will suffer because of it. I have been working on a new post over the last couple of weeks but have been hindered, hopefully it will be done soon.)
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.
Some may accuse me of being a "date setter" because I have suggested that we may see Christ return in 2016 and the rapture in the time frame of 2013 - 2015. 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. What I have pointed out in my writings is that there is a lot of evidence suggesting that the antichrist may arise near the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. There is also a lot of evidence pointing to Jesus returning to earth at Armageddon in 2016. If the antichrist does indeed arise and take over the world in 2013 with Christ returning to earth in 2016 then we would see the rapture in the 2013 to 2015 time range. If the antichrsit arises in 2014 then Christ would return in 2017 with the rapture in the 2014 to 2016 time range, etc.
How do I know that? Well 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.
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, then we will know the rapture is near but we will still not know the exact date, only that it is near.
For a further discussion and explanation of these matters I suggest reading The Coming Epiphany.
I was pondering why the storms hit the South last week--One morning last week I randomly opened my Bible to Ezekiel 35 and felt that the Lord impressed upon me that this was the answer.
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir, and prophesy against it,
3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.
4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:...
I will let God's Word speak for its self. I wasn't going to post it but I kept being prompted to. Here is another passage that the Lord randomly brought me to this week and that I feel prompted to post.
1Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it.
2For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.
3Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree.
5For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment.
6The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.
7And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.
8For it is the day of the LORD's vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
9And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness.
12They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing.
13And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
14The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.
15There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.
16Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it unto them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
I feel that these passages will be totally fulfilled during the Day of the Lord period and I believe are related to the sixth seal, the rapture, and planet x.
