America's Fate

A few days ago I posted about America being the end times Babylon and the judgment that she will receive. The recent tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico reminded me of America's eventual fate.

Like the recent tragedy America will one day burn in WWIII which will cause the ship masters to keep far away "for the fear of her burning." And after her burning, just before Jesus returns to the earth at Armageddon, she will sink under the waves just as the oil rig did.

As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein. Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth. They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. (Jer. 50:40-42)

Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. (Rev. 18:10)

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. (Rev. 18:21)

The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof. (Jer. 51:42)

The good news is that just as people were saved from dying on the oil rig so can Americans be saved from the destructions that are coming to America. If one accepts the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior you can be saved from the destructions coming to America and from eternal punishment in hell.

Sadly and tragically America will be judged, it is my prayer and desire that many would see the judgement coming and be saved.

Preface

The Coming Epiphany--Preface

Thomas angrily pounded his fist on the table saying, “You are crazy, the world is flat! If you sail too far, you will fall off!”Christopher responded, “No, you are wrong. The world is round, and I will not fall off!” I can easily imagine this type of argument between Christopher Columbus and one of his peers. We all know who was eventually proved right; but at the time, because of the limited knowledge many possessed, the topic of whether the world was round or flat was a heated topic of debate. Today, there is another heated and complicated topic of debate: biblical prophecy and especially the timing of the rapture. The information presented in this book deals with this complicated topic. The information presented in this book deals with this complicated topic and will prove by scripture which one of the many rapture theories is the correct one.

There are many books on the market that deal with biblical prophecy. Why is this book different? Why listen to me? Who am I to say what is right or wrong? Should you listen to me because I have been involved in preaching and teaching God’s Word on a daily basis for the last 20 years, or because I have memorized and meditated on scripture every day for the last 23 years, or because I have a Master of Divinity degree from a conservative fundamental Christian university, or because I have fasted and prayed over this book? No, even though credentials have their place, you should not listen to anyone because they have “credentials.” You should only listen to me or any Bible teacher or preacher because what they say agrees with the Word of God. We all have the responsibility before God to go to the scriptures ourselves and see if what we are being taught agrees with all of scripture just like the Bereans did. “These [Bereans] were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Acts 17:11).

Scripture and scripture alone is the standard by which everything must be judged. Unfortunately, many approach end-times scriptures with a predetermined theological mindset and then try to make scripture fit into their theology. What sets this book apart from all the rest is that it attempts to approach the topic with all of scripture, and scripture alone, as its basis. A theological belief is then formed on the basis of what all of the scriptures dictate.

In this book scripture will be interpreted according to the following principle: “When the plain sense of scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise.”[1] In other words, scripture will be interpreted literally unless it is evident that a symbolic interpretation is warranted by the text. Theological systems will then be evaluated in light of what the Bible says and not the other way around, as many books on this topic do.

Many end-times books also are based solely or partly on various extra-biblical ancient and modern-day prophecies. It is apparent that many of these prophecies are man-made or even demonic in origin, and even though they may contain some truth, they do not contain all truth and thus cannot be trusted. The only sure foundation that we have for faith and doctrine is the Word of God. When this book uses extra-biblical sources, it is only to support a point that has already been made from the scriptures.

The understanding of prophecy and formulating correct prophetic beliefs is much like putting together the pieces of a complicated jigsaw puzzle. In putting together a puzzle, one first examines all the pieces, then selects the border pieces and starts to assemble the border. After the border of the puzzle is completed, one works on filling in the center. As we know, to complete the puzzle, we must fit every piece perfectly with its surrounding pieces. When every piece is fitted in, the picture is complete.

The pieces of the “prophecy puzzle” are the numerous prophetic verses found throughout the Bible. The border pieces are the prophetic principles set forth in scripture, such as the principle that God will not allow His children to be subject to His wrath (1 Thess. 5:9), that no one knows the day or hour of the return of Christ Jesus, etc. In attempting to formulate a correct prophetic view of future events, one must put all the pieces within this framework so that all the pieces fit together perfectly. In other words, one must establish a prophetic belief system that is in agreement with all of the prophetic principles and all of the prophetic scriptures so there are no contradictions. We can check any theological position for its correctness by comparing it to all of the scriptural principles and truths found in the Bible. If it contradicts any of them, that theological position is in error.

The theological position presented in this book has undergone the scrutiny of such an analysis. Do not take my word for it. Go to the Lord and the scriptures, and prove to yourself that what is being presented is in agreement with all scripture.

In this book, I will endeavor to present what the whole of scripture says with regard to prophetic events and not necessarily what any theological system dictates. I ask that you would prayerfully compare what I present with scripture. If I have been accurate in presenting the truth of God’s Word—and these pages represent the truth of what is to come—then all of scripture will agree with what I am stating. And in all of your prophetic study, whether through this book or any other, let me remind you of one of God’s wonderful promises: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering” (James 1:5–6). I pray that this book will be a blessing to you

A proper understanding of biblical prophecy is extremely important and is essential to the life of the believer (or unbeliever, for that matter). Without it, regardless of your spiritual background, you could be caught off guard and be unprepared for what is going to take place on the earth in the near future. Should this occur, you would most likely place yourself in spiritual and or physical jeopardy. If the rapture occurs and you are left behind, you will most likely suffer a terrible fate. Thus, I beseech you to take very seriously the information presented in this book, for it will be of such profound importance that I liken it to the importance of Christopher Columbus saying that the world is round.

Rapture "Not" Ready

Are you ready for the rapture? Most Christians would answer "yes!" Unfortunately even though most Christians think that they are ready for the rapture, they are not. The reason is because they think that the rapture can occur at any time and they will be spared from all of the sorrows and tribulations of the last 7 years. Thus in their thinking all they have to do to be ready for the rapture is to be a Christian. Unfortunately and sadly they are wrong because the rapture will not occur until after the sixth seal is opened. Thus any person alive at the time will be faced with the events of the first 5 seals. So is the average Christian ready to live through the first 5 seals? NO! Therefore most Christians are rapture "not" ready.

How do I know that a Christian will have to live through the first 5 seals? Because of what God's Word says, not what I feel, not what this person or that person says, but because of what God's Word says! God's Word is our only source for doctrine. There are many end times theories held by Christians that are in direct opposition to clear Bible passages and Bible principals. One of those theories is the so called doctrine of imminence. Here is what I have written regarding God's Word and imminence in The Coming Epiphany.

Yet another argument put forth by pre-trib adherents is their belief in the doctrine of the imminent return of Christ. They reason that since the apostles were awaiting the return of Christ with great expectancy—and that they may even have believed that Christ could return and the rapture could occur at any time—that nothing has to occur prophetically before the rapture can take place. This includes the peace treaty or any parts of the 70th Week of Daniel.

This is a doctrine that was shown to be false by the apostle Paul himself. In 2 Thessalonians 2:1–3, Paul had to address the Thessalonians concerning a doctrinal problem they had regarding the timing of the rapture:

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

The Thessalonians falsely believed that the Day of the Lord and the rapture were ready to occur (or had already occurred) and that they missed it and were in the Day of the Lord period. Paul told them that they did not miss it. He also told them about two signs that must occur beforehand, namely the great falling away and the revealing of the antichrist.

We have also elaborated on three other signs that need to occur before the Day of the Lord or the Day of Christ: the moon being turned to blood, the sun being darkened, and the prophet Elijah returning to earth. Therefore, since God has made it clear that certain things must occur before the rapture occurs at the Day of the Lord, and since those things have not happened yet, there can be no doctrine of imminence. Christ’s return will not be imminent until the signs mentioned above have first occurred. Van Kampen elaborates on this point:

The return of Christ has never been truly imminent and will never be imminent until the great tribulation of antichrist begins and the surrounding Gentile nations come together against Jerusalem in the valley of Jehoshaphat. Only then are the elect of God told to look for the sign of Christ’s coming which will be seen in the heavens, but only after the earth is first plunged into darkness by the sign of the end of the age.

So while the first-century church, as recorded in the New Testament writings, showed a great expectation and anticipation of the return of Christ, the scriptures themselves tell us that the rapture cannot occur at any time, but only after the signs are fulfilled. The Coming Epiphany

So the rapture cannot occur at any time. It cannot occur until after certain things are fulfilled, i.e. the antichrist appears and the moon turns to blood, etc. So there is no doctrine of imminence until these things are fulfilled. Thus at this point in time there is no doctrine of imminence!

So unless you are ready to live through the first 5 seals you are rapture "not" ready. Note: Nobody can be totally ready for the first 5 seals but in a future post I will describe steps that you can take to get as ready as possible, or you could read The Coming Epiphany, where I devote an entire chapter to the subject.

On a side note there is a popular website called "Rapture Ready." I posted there years ago until I got kicked off because I posted in their non pre tribulation section about the rapture not occurring until after the sixth seal, I followed the rules. I was being effective in convincing some to see the truth about the rapture. I guess they did not like that so I was kicked off. So much for a healthy exchange of ideas. The ironic and sad thing about the whole matter is that they are rapture "not" ready, and they are perpetuating the false and dangerous pre tribulation rapture theory.

The time is short. I pray to God that Christians would wake up!

322, Health Care, and The Dollar Code Pt. 2

Is it health reform or did they reform health? In the post 322, Health Care and the Dollar Code I showed how the satanic encoded date on the dollar bill--2/22/2010--pointed to the health reform bill and gave some analysis on its ramifications. Since that time further revelations about health reform have been brought to my attention that show its sinister goals. BTW did you notice the scroll work in the logo above? Now where did I see that before?

1. It could financially impact states in a very negative big way.

The addition to existing law of five words, and a comma, may cause a world of hurt to state governments.

Tucked away on page 466 of President Obama’s 2,704-page health-care bill is a provision that changes the definition of “medical assistance,” the term describing what states are required to provide to Medicaid recipients.

States have in the past been required to provide payment for services to physicians. Now, under the new definition, states will be liable for ensuring provision of “the care and services themselves.”

In other words, states are legally on the hook not only to ensure that Medicaid recipients are paid for, but that they’re seen by a doctor.

Medicaid recipients have found it increasingly difficult to be seen by doctors, as states in extreme economic duress have cut payment rates.

The new law seeks to solve the problem, but may cost states even more money at a time when most are in some of the worst economic straits since the Great Depression.

“With the expanded definition, it leaves every state vulnerable to a new wave of lawsuits any time someone cannot access a service, even if that service is limited by virtue of the rates we pay,” said Alan Levine, Louisiana’s secretary of health and hospitals, in a recent memo prepared for fellow state government officials.

Levine wrote: “DHH cannot estimate the cost of this, but it is not even worth estimating. It will be substantial.” The Daily Caller

2. Chipping is in the bill.

Microchipping To Begin In 36 Months Under New Health Bill

The new Health Care Bill, H.R. 3200, just passed by Congress has within it the requirement that all people thereunder shall be microchiped. The plans for this microchipping has been in the hopper going back to December of 2004.

Witness the actual FDA (Food and Drug Administration) document dated December 10, 2004 entitled “Class II Special Guidance Document: Implantable Radiofrequency Transponder System for Patient Identification and Health Information. This ten page document may be read on the FDA website at
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuid...

Now witness the wording within H.R. 3200, “America’s Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009” found on Congresses’ House Ways and Means website,
http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001xml.pdf
On page 1001 is “Subtitle C – National Medical Device Registry” which states,

“The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that … is or has been used in or on a patient…”

In other words, everyone microchipped pursuant to the new Health Care Bill must be registered with the Secretary. The “Secretary” is defined as the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

The date by which this registry is to begin is mandated on page 1006, which is 36 months after the Health Bill becomes law. Fighting For Liberty


3. The agenda is to "transform you into a beast worshipping beast or to kill you!"

The bold statement "YES WE CAN" shouts rebellion in the sovereign God's face, who has made it very clear that declaring what things will be is His own business. The reverse speech of that expression in that context presents a distinct "thank you Satan" to the hearer, expressing gratitude to whom it is due for the "Health Reform" action that brings the dawning of the greater light.

Like a progress indicator bar, the Apollo Obama brand agents are signaling our current status, that the coming greater incarnation of Apollo is being "uploaded" now, facilitated by the success of the "Health Reform" effort!

"Health Reform" is not the same as "Health Care Reform." Make no mistake, if the word "Care" was intended to appear, it would. We know the sales and marketing of the deal leads everyone to casually think "Health Care Reform." If anyone even noticed the omission of the word "Care," they would likely dismiss it, thinking, "Health Reform, Health Care Reform, same difference - whatever." The occult imagery reveals, however, that the agenda here is, quite frankly, to transform you into a Beast worshiping beast or kill you. This is Health Reform! They are simply stating what they mean, in plain language, in plain sight! Two words basically define health; wholeness and holiness. (Online Etymology Dictionary, © 2010 Douglas Harper) To reform is simply to form again, to remake in another form. Over and over and over and over again in this blog you have read how a triple helix transformation is planned to remake the man created in the image of His Creator into the serpent's own image. This is Health Reform. Health Care Reform is just a pretext. The Open Scroll

Here is something interesting to ponder. The number of the bill is H.R. 3200. 3200 = 1600 + 1600. Right around the time of health reform Israel announced plans for 1600 settlement units because of this Netanyahu was called to the White House (1600 Pennsylvania Ave). Does this point to a connection between Israel, The USA, and health reform?

The encoding of the date 2/22/2010 on the dollar bill and its associated date 3/22/2010 and its connection to health reform (I am no longer calling it health care reform) at first was puzzling. Why would health reform be encoded on the dollar bill? The answer is now apparent and becoming clearer and more sinister by the day. The times are indeed troubling and stormy seas are on the horizon. I am glad my Father is the great God of the universe and that He loves me as His own Son and will guide me through the approaching storm.

The Rapture: Why & Wnen

Is there a rapture? And if there is a rapture when in the last 7 years will it occur?

Some do not believe in a rapture, but God through scripture, our only source for doctrine, says that there is a rapture. I will clearly show you this fact. Answer this question; will God ever allow His children to experience His wrath? Scripture answers a resounding, NO. God spared righteous Noah and Lot and He will spare us from His wrath.

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom 5:9. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thes 1:1 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thes 5:9.

It is clear God's children will not be subject to His wrath. Many of the events of the end times are part of God's wrath. So just like God rescued Noah and Lot He will rescue us via the rapture before He pours out His wrath on the unrighteous. Thus if there is God's wrath then there has to be a rapture. In 1 Thes we are given a clear picture and description of the rapture where the words "caught up" are used to describe it.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.16. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:17. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.18. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

So it is clear there is a rapture; when does it occur? That is easy to answer; it occurs just before God's wrath begins. So if we find when God's wrath begins then the rapture will be just before that. When in the end times does God's wrath begin? Again scripture is clear it begins after the sixth seal is opened.

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?

For the great day of His wrath is come! Again it is clear God's wrath begins after the sixth seal is opened. (And BTW it cannot happen before the fifth seal because the fifth seal is the persecution of Jews and Christians and God will not persecute His children, that is an action of the devil and his deceived ones.) As a matter of fact if you look closely at the Revelation 6 passage above and notice what the men of the earth say; "hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne," and ask yourself this question; how can they say hide us from His face if they do not see Him? In fact they do see Him, that is why they say that because Jesus has come to the clouds for all to see to rescue His children from the great day of His wrath which consists of seal 7 - Vial 7.

Forgive me for being blunt, but Christians need to wake up and stop ignoring what the scriptures teach concerning the rapture. It is vitally important to have a correct rapture theory! Please wake up dear brother and sister in Christ before it is too late! Wake up!
