Just Another Coincidence--Storms and Settlements

Here is "just another coincidence;" Garden Girl from Running from Babylon said in her post Peres and Tornadoes from Saturday April 2, 2011

Another interesting “coincidental” timing.


Shimon Peres will be arriving here in the US late Sunday night, will stay all day Monday, and then have a working lunch with Obama on Tuesday. (At least Obama is feeding the Israelis this time!)...I am going to assume (please note the word assume) that Obama is going to turn on the pressure between now and September to persuade the Israelis to let the US finish the process we started years ago (1991). If you live anywhere in the red areas on the map, it wouldn't hurt to be weather aware for the next few days.

She gave us the heads up and what happened on Monday--the USA made a statement condemning Israeli settlements?

White House Spokesman Tommy Vietor issued a statement Monday saying, "Not only are continued Israeli settlements illegitimate, Israel's actions run counter to efforts to resume direct negotiations." Source; Fox News

And what about the weather on Monday? Monday's Severe Weather: The Largest Outbreak Ever? was a headline story from Accuweather.

With such a large and unprecedented amount of severe weather reports, the question has been raised: Is this the largest single day severe weather outbreak in history? AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Henry Margusity said that this was the largest number of severe weather reports in a 24-hour time period that he had ever seen.

I know, its "just another coincidence"--did you catch the sarcasm?

The Tsunami Sign--A Warning to the Nations

I believe that God has allowed a sign to be placed in the sky for all the world to see to warn the nations to not come against His people Israel. The sign was placed in the sky over the country of Jordan in 2006 and recorded by an imaging satellite and as of the writing of this post appears in Google Earth at 32.02 N, 35.58 E. The sign--a muddy colored cloud in the shape of a tsunami wave possibly caused by a sandstorm--also appears next to the line that runs from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to the Japan quake location that set off a devastating tsunami.



Japan has recently aligned themselves against Israel in a greater way as detailed in the post The Nations Against Israel—An Evil Wind Bloweth. Thus the sign's location, shape, and date of creation sends a clear message to the nations that they should not come against Israel or they will receive judgment.

If you enlarge the sign cloud you will see that it seems to be made of several straight lines as pictured below.







If you follow line 1 it leads directly to the Japan quake location.



Do the other lines point to future earthquake/tsunami locations? If you follow the lines here is where they go: 2-Hawaii, 3-Mexicali, 4-Peru, and 5-Alaska.





It is interesting to note that all these areas are active quake areas as depicted below on the USGS quake map for the last week of March 2011.



(Note: The lines will continue circling the globe--possibly pointing to other areas. There are also other lines that can be drawn from the cloud but they are less prominent.)

If these lines are pointing to future earthquake/tsunami locations when might they occur? Most likely after the associated country or countries come against Israel. Here is another thought to consider--the length of the lines on the cloud may also represent the severity of the judgment.

I believe the message of the sign is clear: Nations of the world do not set your hand against Israel or you will be judged.

If it bothers you that I have the audacity to make that statement I refer you to God’s Holy Word the Bible--And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: Gen 12:3—in other words, God already said it.

My hope is that the nations of the world will heed this sign and stop aligning themselves against Israel so that perhaps God will have mercy upon the world and judgment can be averted. Want to help? Send this info to your government.

Will the nations of the world eventually divide the land of Israel? Yes.

For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, 2. I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. Joel 3:1,2.

And God's response;

Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence upon your own head: Joel 3:7

Dear Christian;

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. John 14:1-4.

Comet Elenin--Conclusions For Now

What can we conclude about comet Elenin? Did it cause the Japan quake? Is it Planet X? Will it cause earth changes in the future?

Note: To better understand what is being discussed in this post I recommend reading the post Comet Elenin and the Pole Shift Theory and Comet Elenin, Israel, the Palestinian State and America--if you have not already done so. And here are the links for the rest of the series Comet Elenin, Planet X, Nibiru Theory, Comet Elenin Connections , Comet Elenin--Messages , Comet Elenin--Is it Planet X? )

First let's take a look at the data; In review; At the first alignment with comet Elenin on 2/27/2010, when it was at a distance of 6.047, there were 20 above 6.0 earthquakes in the 5 days before and after that date, the biggest being an 8.8.

Global Search Earthquakes= 20
Catalog Used: PDE
Date Range: 2010/02/22 to 2010/03/04
Magnitude Range: 6.0 - 10.0

On the second alignment on 3/15/2011; From the 10th to the 20th of March 2011 the USGS listed 40 earthquakes over 6.0 on the Richter scale with 23 occurring on the 11th.

Global Search Earthquakes= 20
Catalog Used: PDE
Date Range: 2010/02/22 to 2010/03/04
Magnitude Range: 6.0 - 10.0

On average we would have expected about 4 above 6.0 quakes; we saw 10 times more than normal during that time with the biggest being the 9.0 quake in Japan.

That is the earthquake data, what can we conclude? Before I tell you my conclusions first let's discuss how this comet could effect the earth if it did--because some do not understand that relationship and think that comets cannot effect the earth--this is the main line thinking by most scientists--remember they believe in evolution too.

So how can a comet effect the earth? As I understand the theory a comet has electrical properties and it sets up a "pathway" in space between the sun--the great energy generator--and its self. So basically Sun energy is attracted and directed toward comets.

Think of one of those lightning lamps--when you touch the glass with your finger the electricity travels from the energy generator to your finger. The electrical properties of your body sets up a pathway for energy to travel from the center of the lamp to your finger. In a similar way it is theorized that a comet sets up an electrical pathway and attracts energy from the sun. When the earth intersects that pathway--it being an energy absorber--receives the energy which then causes earth changes.

How can incoming space energy cause earth changes? I refer you to Clif High's article 2012 – Doom ain't What It Used to Be Here are a few snippets;

"So, in the Expando Planet model of thinking about Earth, the plasma core gets energy steadily from the Sun and as a necessity, must convert this steady stream of energy into matter. Thus if the Expando Planet model is correct, one of the predictable effects would be that the planet would pretty much continuously grow...


if energy is being transformed into matter in the middle of the earth, then where does it go? And....what happens to this whole matter creation mechanism if there is a sudden burst of energy from the Sun?...


So, to address the question of where does the continuously created matter go, we need only look around us. The matter quite actually 'bubbles' up out of, or as, the earth. And further, since it is created in the middle of an enclosed sphere (more or less, the earth is actually an oblate spheroid), the effects of matter created in the middle of a closed planet are naturally predictable. Imagine pumping water into an orange with a syringe...


If the Expando Planet model is correct, there are some predictable effects that should be visible. One is that the 'skin' of our orange (planet earth) will rupture in specific ways that should form 'crinkly bits' for coast line on the anterior side of the tearing...


Weather changes are to be expected due to changes in the planet size, the surface area of the oceans, and the heights of mountains (more on this in another article). Other impacts will show up in ocean currents as new (and mostly hot) matter is pumped into the planet skin (crustal complex).


There are also expected electric and magnetic effects as the expansions are concurrent with solar system wide changes affecting energies at all levels. The sum total is screwy weather for the entire time of the expansion event. One very predictable, and noticeable effect of the Expando Planet model, if accurate, would be that cracks in the planet would open up in a variety of areas."

Even though I do not agree with all that Clif has written in his article the theory in essence makes sense and demonstrates how incoming space energy can cause earth changes. There are other scientists that agree that incoming solar energy can cause earth changes and have been able to make some uncanny predictions that have come true, which you can read about in this article; High Earthquake Risk Now Imminent Say Two Leading Experts BTW in the article they state that they believe incoming solar energy--M class solar flare--caused the Japan quake.

So back to our question; What can we conclude about comet Elenin? Did it cause the 9.0 quake in Japan? Did the electrical connection between the comet and the sun cause the solar flare and other sun energies to be directed to it and with the earth near alignment the earth received the energy? And if it did why the 11th and not the 15th when it was in alignment?

Here is a possible explanation; Assuming you have a stream of energy between the comet and the sun and the earth approaches this stream and begins to absorb some of the energy. When would that happen? As it approached the energy stream--not after. Remember the earth is an energy absorber and as it approaches the pathway the pathway may even bend toward the earth and thus the energy would be absorbed as the earth approaches the pathway rather than at its exact alignment time or after.


Courtesy NASA/JPL-Caltech.

Was this around the time when comet directed energy started coming into the earth that expanded the planet and set off the 9.0 quake in Japan? Some believe that it did--I am not sure. I am not an astro physicist, I guess to conclusively answer that question we would have to be privy to data for incoming energy. All I have to go by is earthquake data that may be coincidental.

So what can we conclude about comet Elenin? Lets review what we know.

1. Comets can cause energy from the sun to flow into the earth, see the post Comet Elenin and the Pole Shift Theory

2. Solar energy coming into the earth can cause earth changes--expando planet model.

3. On the comet's first alignment there were 20 above 6.0 quakes with an 8.8.

4. Just before it's second alignment there were 40 above 6.0 quakes with a 9.0.

5. Comet Elenin has clear "connections" to Israel and the Palestinian state

My conclusion for now: 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 do I mean by this? Without more data I cannot conclusively say that comet Elenin caused the earth changes that we have seen, although I believe that it is highly possible. But at the very least it is another sign in the heavens from God that the peoples of the world are not to come against Israel.

What can we expect for the future? Here is the list of dates regarding Elenin.

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

If the comet Elenin caused the earth changes that occurred at its first and second alignment then we should expect to see more earth changes increasing in severity as it gets closer to the earth and sun especially this Fall. If the comet is just a sign in the heavens associating judgment upon the world for their treatment of Israel and is not the causal agent of the earth changes I still think that we will see problems this Fall because the Palestinian state is to be formed by then and after that happens I am certain that severe judgment will come upon the world. So whether the cause or a sign I believe comet Elenin and the Palestinian state means disaster will fall upon the earth. BTW Let me also bring to light that President Obama accepted a nuclear armed Iran which is a betrayal of Israel in the beginning of March 2011 just before the comet aligned and now nuclear radioactivity is being spread out upon the world.

Can judgment be averted? God can do all things. What if the nations stopped pressuring Israel to divide her land and they did not create the Palestinian state? Could God destroy the comet? Yes--with the whisper of a word.

Is comet Elenin planet X and will it cause a pole shift? Some believe it is Planet X and will cause a pole shift but at this time I do not know--there is so much purposeful disinformation put out there--at times it is very difficult to discern the truth. So at this point in time I do not think so. I think planet X and it's pole shift will probably not come around until after the antichrist arises--most likely he will arise in late 2012 early 2013--and will probably coincide with seal six and the rapture.

These are my conclusions for now--I will try to keep up with the situation and report any new developments. So until we get conclusive proof, evidence, and data regarding this comet I am going to watch it closely.

Again my conclusion for now: 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.

The Nations Against Israel--An Evil Wind Bloweth

Update: This blog issued several watches for a major event to occur in relation to the passing of Comet Elenin, we all warned that this event may have a Palestinian state connection. We also theorized that a large earthquake of M9.0 + was a possibility. See the last few posts beginning on 2/22

In the past year I have become acutely aware of the relationship between calamities in nations and how that nation treats Israel. I have been reminded time and time again of nation after nation setting their hand against Israel and then some great calamity will come upon them. One such example is Hurricane Katrina that did much destruction to the USA after we made Israel tear up some of her settlements. Or more recently the floods brought to the Philippines, Australia, and South America after those nations recognized and supported the Palestinian state.

I believe this all stems from what God said in Gen 12:3 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.

The most recent calamity upon a nation--as we are well aware--was the Japan earthquake and tsunami. My heart goes out for the people of Japan. I spent 6 weeks in Japan on a missions trip in the 80s. I liked the Japanese people they were very polite and conscientious of others--not like us arrogant Americans. I pray that many will be brought to salvation.

I have been following the Japanese situation since it developed last week. And a question kept popping in my mind; Why Japan? I felt prompted to check to see if there was a connection between Japan and Israel. Here is what I found from the Japanese state department at this link http://www.mofa.go.jp/region/middle_e/palestine/index.html

Statement by the Press Secretary, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Japan, on the situation in East Jerusalem
February 10, 2011
Japanese

1. The Government of Japan is concerned about the Jerusalem municipal planning committee’s approval of a plan to build housing units for Jewish people in the Sheih Jarrah of East Jerusalem. Such act goes against the efforts by the international community to resume the negotiations.

2. The Government of Japan does not recognize any act that prejudges the final status of the territories in the pre-1967 borders nor Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem. Japan urges Israel to refrain from any unilateral act that changes the current situation in East Jerusalem

Exchange of Notes for the Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change to the Palestinian Authority (Jericho Wastewater Collection, Treatment System and Reuse Project)
February 28, 2011
Japanese

1. The Government of Japan has decided to extend a Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change (Jericho Wastewater Collection, Treatment System and Reuse Project) up to 2.65 billion JPY (2,650,000,000YEN) to the Palestinian Authority. Notes to this effect were exchanged on Monday, February 28 (the same day at local time) in Ramallah in the West Bank, between Mr. Naofumi Hashimoto, Representative of Japan to the Palestinian Authority, and H.E. Dr. Salam Fayyad, Prime Minister, Palestinian Authority.

2. This project aims to construct a sewage treatment plant with a resource-circulative system, which contains Japan’s advanced energy-saving technologies, in Jericho and Jordan River Rift Valley area where serious environmental problems have been caused by untreated wastewater staying therein due to its geographical features. It will make effective reuse of the treated water as a valuable water resource for irrigations over the area. Through implementing this aid, it is expected not only to improve the living conditions and hygienic environment of those local residents who have been threatened by the soil and ground water pollutions caused by the foul wastewater, but also to contribute to a rise in the agricultural production over the area. Furthermore, as these Palestinian efforts to preserve the environment and the ground water resource would also benefit such neighboring countries as Israel which shares the same ground water vein, this project could eventually help the confidence-building between the Palestinians and the Israelis.

3. In order to support the overseas expansion of Japan’s advanced technologies for environment and energy-conservation, the Government of Japan is making efforts to disseminate and promote such technologies in developing countries through its FY2010 supplementary budget. This grant aid is part of such efforts by Japan. At the same time, it also demonstrates Japan’s overall support for the efforts of the Palestinian Authority to achieve its own state-building and its economic independence toward co-existence and co-prosperity with Israel.

(Reference)　The Palestinian territories cover a land area of 6,020 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 3.76 million people (2005). Its Gross National Income (GNI) per capita is about 1,230 USD (2006).

(*This is a provisional translation. The above date denotes the date of the issue of the original press release in Japanese.)http://www.mofa.go.jp/announce/announce/2011/2/0228_01.html

So Japan makes an official statement condemning Israeli settlements and supporting the Palestinian state and they commit to aiding the Palestinians with a water project and then 29 days and 11 days later respectively their country experiences a huge earthquake and a tsunami--water disaster. These are the facts, I will allow you to make your own conclusions.

I also found something else that I would like to show you. God prompted me to draw a line from the Japan earthquake location to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem--I wanted to see how close the line came to Jericho--where the water project is planned.

As you can see above it came close--within about 5 miles. That is not all--take a look at what I found beside the line in Jordan--look at the bizarre looking "cloud."


The "cloud" has some very strange features--notice how the "cloud" edges on the left and bottom edge form perpendicular straight lines. That suggests to me that this is not an "ordinary cloud." The "cloud" color also looks strange--it looks muddy. When I asked myself the question; What does the shape look like? At first I thought it looked like a finger but when I rotated it to the present orientation it looks like a tsunami wave to me.

Don't think it looks like a tsunami wave? I pasted a few of them on a tsunami sign. (If you want to see it yourself, enter 32.02, 35.58 into the Google Earth Fly To box.)


So we have an out of the ordinary "cloud" that looks like a muddy tsunami wave next to a line that extends from the Temple Mount to the earthquake location off of Japan that caused a massive tsunami. Also realize that the "cloud" would probably mean nothing by its self but next to the line it speaks volumes.

I believe it is possible that the "cloud" was put there by God at the time of the satellite picture in 2006 as a sign of the the impending disaster--the proverbial writing on the wall. If it is from God then I believe that God is sending a clear warning to the nations to not come against Israel or that nation(s) will receive judgment. Note; It is also possible that the cloud was put there by man via scalar technology or image manipulation which would imply that this disaster was engineered. You take your pick.

The day after finding the info about Japan and Palestine I randomly opened my Bible for morning devotions to Jeremiah 24/25. Chapter 25 stood out to me.

Jer 25

4 And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear.

5 They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever:

6 And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt.

7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.

8 Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words,

9 Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the candle.

11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

12 And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations.

13 And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.

14 For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands.

15 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it.

16 And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them.

17 Then took I the cup at the LORD's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the LORD had sent me:

26 And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.

27 Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

28 And it shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at thine hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Ye shall certainly drink.

29 For, lo, I begin to bring evil on the city which is called by my name, and should ye be utterly unpunished? Ye shall not be unpunished: for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the LORD of hosts.

30 Therefore prophesy thou against them all these words, and say unto them, The LORD shall roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he shall mightily roar upon his habitation; he shall give a shout, as they that tread the grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

31 A noise shall come even to the ends of the earth; for the LORD hath a controversy with the nations, he will plead with all flesh; he will give them that are wicked to the sword, saith the LORD.

32 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth.

33 And the slain of the LORD shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung upon the ground.

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel.

35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.

36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.

37 And the peaceable habitations are cut down because of the fierce anger of the LORD.

38 He hath forsaken his covert, as the lion: for their land is desolate because of the fierceness of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger.
These passages refer to judgment coming against Israel for her sins and judgment coming against the nations for their sins--especially in regards to their treatment of Israel. These passages were partially fulfilled with the Babylonian captivity--but we know prophetic passages can have more than one fulfillment.

Verse 32 and 36 stood out to me; Behold, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great whirlwind shall be raised up from the coasts of the earth...A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and an howling of the principal of the flock, shall be heard: for the LORD hath spoiled their pasture.

Is not an evil wind blowing from the coast of Japan that threatens to spew nuclear radiation over the whole earth? As you probably know from following the nuclear situation in Japan the information is sketchy and at present they are telling us that things are improving and I hope it does, but there is a real potential for the situation to develop into a devastating crisis that could effect the whole world with radiation. Also we only know what we have been officially told--only God knows the truth of what has happened already.

Did God let the devastation happen to Japan because of her treatment of Israel? Was the "cloud" a sign from God? Will an evil wind blow upon the whole world because they have aligned themselves against Israel? Only God knows the answers to those questions but scripture will be fulfilled--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

Dear Christian as a watchman I am doing my duty and proclaiming what I have found lest you be caught unawares. May I encourage you to draw near to God and He will draw near to you--So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me...And Take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (a compilation of scripture)

My prayer is that God will have mercy on us and stop this disaster from unfolding.

Note: Since starting this post many tribulations began occurring to my family and I, and I was greatly hindered in this effort--I got to the point where I was laying prostrate with my face on the floor crying out to God for mercy--then it was like the oppression lifted--your prayers appreciated. I am also working on a concluding post regarding Comet Elenin.

Jehovah Jireh

God prompted me to repost this. BTW I believe I found something very significant today that I will try to post soon--God willing--the devil has been hindering me.

Chapter 14
Jehovah Jireh

Jehovah Jireh my provider His grace is sufficient for me, for me, for me! Jehovah Jireh my provider His grace is sufficient for me. My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in Glory. He shall give His angels charge over me Jehovah Jireh cares for me, for me, for me! Jehovah Jireh cares for me. Have you ever sung the song “Jehovah Jireh”? If you have, then you know the meaning of those words: “Jehovah Jireh—my provider…” Jehovah Jireh is a name of God that focuses on His ability and promise to provide for His children and take care of their needs. During the 70th Week, it will be no different; God will provide for us and take care of us. After reading this book, some Christians—realizing that they will not be raptured until after the sixth seal is opened—may become frightened. It was not the intention of this book to scare you, although that may be a natural reaction to the things that you have read. The intention of this book was to share the truth of what is about to take place on the earth so that you may properly prepare yourself and your loved ones—spiritually, mentally, and physically. Being properly prepared can help bring you comfort and peace. Not being prepared will bring about the most fear. Panic, many times, is the result of being caught off guard when traumatic situations arise. This book is not about scaring you. It is about giving you information so you may properly prepare for the days leading up to the glorious appearing of the Son of God and have peace through the Lord when times become difficult.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.” (1 Thess. 5:4-6)

What does God tell us about fear? God has commanded us hundreds of times to fear not! Remember, God will take care of you. Here are just a few of the many scriptures that remind us of those facts.

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. (Deut 31:6)

Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord. (1 Chron 28:20)

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Matt. 10:28-31)

If you are a Christian, then God is your Father. Just as a loving earthly father will watch out for and protect his children, so God in a greater way will protect His children. A sparrow cannot fall from the sky unless God allows it. If God cares for the sparrows, how much more does He care for you? God sees your needs; He will help you through whatever may come your way. Go to Him with your needs in prayer and He will answer.

And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? (Luke 11:9-13)

One of the most beautiful and familiar passages in the Bible is Psalm 23. It eloquently speaks of the care, comfort, and protection that God will give to all His sheep.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup Runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Let me briefly elaborate on the truths contained in this passage. It says that we “shall not want.” That means that God will meet our needs, which include physical, mental, and spiritual needs. “To lie down in green pastures,” tells us that God will not only meet our needs, but also do it lavishly. “Leadeth me beside the still waters” says that He will give us peace. “He restoreth my soul” speaks of how He will revive our spirits after we have fallen or been dismayed. “Leadeth me in the paths of righteousness” witnesses to the fact that He will lead us into truth and righteous living.

And here is the most important verse in light of the information presented in this book: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.” The first six seals of the 70th Week of Daniel are at times going to be like walking through the valley of the shadow of death. But what are we to do? Fear no evil! And why are we to fear no evil? Because He is with us! Trust in Him, rely on Him. He will not fail you, and He will show Himself mighty through you to do His work if you let Him. Not only are we not to be afraid, but we can trust that God will meet our physical needs, too. He will give us food and clothing; we can trust Him for that. “I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” There is a verse that we can put our confidence in. Read this Psalm carefully and be assured God will take care of His own:

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil. For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth. For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be….For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous. The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away….The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread….But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.” (Psalm 37)

So do not be afraid. As long as you are living a life pleasing to God, He will protect you, provide for you, and pour out His Spirit upon you in a mighty way. In a lot of ways, it will be a time to look forward to. It will be a time when the Lord will work mightily on the earth. Yes, there will be problems and trials and tribulations, but God will take care of you. Consider this comforting quote from The Days of Praise.

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Heb 13:5)… Actually, the promise is even more emphatic in the original Greek. The word “leave,” which means to uphold or sustain, is preceded by a twice-repeated negative. It literally means, “I will not, I will not cease to uphold you!” The word “forsake” implies forsaking one in a position of hopelessness, and is preceded by a thrice-repeated negative: “I’ll never, never, never abandon you in a hopeless state!” JDM.[1]

The fact that God will take care of you, however, does not negate the fact that we also need to prepare as best that we can. Of course one should never trust in his preparations, and it is possible that our preparations might be taken from us. In that regards, we should start praying now against that happening. We should also give everything—possessions, family, health, everything—to God and trust Him to take care of it. God can protect his possessions better than we can, so give everything to Him and trust Him with it. An excellent story that illustrates this spiritual concept is “The Pineapple Story,” which can be obtained from The Institute In Basic Life Principles. At the same time, we realize that a non-Christian and or disobedient Christian has no claim to the protection of God, but can expect to receive chastisement

Will We Suffer?Some Christians will be called to suffer during the 70th Week. Yes there will be difficulties, problems, trials, and sorrows. But God will be there with us and He will help us if we go to Him. Some Christians will be martyred during the 70th Week. Should Christians be afraid of being killed? No, absolutely not! Would you be afraid if your boss came to you and said, “I hate you because you are a Christian and I am going to send you on a lifetime all expense paid vacation to Hawaii?” No, you would be rejoicing. Heaven is a million times better than any “paradise” on earth, and if somebody kills you, you will immediately enter into paradise and be able to live with God forever. As many have said, “You cannot threaten me with Heaven.” Besides, martyrdom is an honor. Being killed for the cause of Christ brings many eternal rewards. I am not saying that you should seek to be martyred, but if that is God’s will for you, do not worry or fret, but rejoice for great is your reward in Heaven. Our attitude should be “Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” (Lk 22:42) Reflect upon the words of our Lord in these regards:

But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come…And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Matt. 10:17-31)

So as one proceeds through the 70th Week of Daniel, draw nigh to God and He will draw nigh to you. Go to Him as a child goes to his or her daddy. Pour out your heart before Him. He will be with you all the way. God loves you more than you realize. Do not be afraid. When we are afraid, we are telling God that we do not trust Him. This saddens Him as it would any mother or father if their child was afraid that they would not take care of them. “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass” (Psalm 37:5). Remember the words of our Lord:

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.” (John 14:1-4)

Should I Be Angry?Another reaction to reading this book may be one of anger. You may feel anger toward God for not planning it so that the Christians will be raptured before the 70th Week begins, or you may be angry that you have been taught a wrong rapture view by many well respected Bible teachers.

First, it is impossible for God to do anything wrong. “In Him is no sin” (1 John 3:5). He is perfect and holy and righteous. Anything that God does is right and perfect. We also know that anything that God allows to happen to believers is for our good. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:28). Thus, we have no right to be angry with God.

Some may be angry with those who have taught them a wrong rapture view. That is not right either, because we are responsible for our relationship with God and it is our responsibility before the Lord to make sure that we believe in correct doctrines. We cannot place the blame for believing in incorrect doctrine at the feet of someone else. In most cases, our respected Bible teachers have given many years of service, sacrifice, and study in trying to accurately preach and teach the word of God. I know none who intentionally try to teach error. I believe modern Christianity fell into the trap of believing in a wrong rapture view because it was easy and pleasant to believe that Christians would not have to endure any “sorrows” at the end of the world. So if we are going to be angry, then we have no one to blame but ourselves. But there is a better reaction. “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil. 3:13-14).

Do not be afraid of the trials and tribulations that are coming upon us. Do not be angry that you have to go through it. God will take care of you. Draw nigh to Him and He will draw nigh to you. Seek the Lord and He shall be found. Remember Jehovah Jireh cares for you, for you, for you!
