Go to Church

Go to Church

by William Frederick, M. Div.

I praise God that I have been able to attend and be a part of the ministry of a Bible believing, Bible preaching church. I also praise God for a godly pastor who faithfully preaches and teaches God’s Word, and has not allowed his church to drift into worldliness as so many churches have.

I am amazed at how many Christians do not attend church on a regular basis. They cite various reasons, too numerous to mention. Here is what God says about this;

Hebrews 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

I have seen it many times over, where a Christian drops out of church, and then their life goes down hill, even to the point of ruin and destruction.

Look, No church is perfect, but find the best one that you can in your area, and go to it. You may not agree with everything they do, but as long as they are not preaching heretical doctrines then go to it. You need to be in fellowship with other believers, you need to be under the preaching of Gods Word, “and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

If there are no good churches near you then, drive to the nearest one, or move. And if you cannot do that then at least access one by internet—but that is not optimal.

Bottom line; going to church is one of the keys to a successful Christian life, “and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”

Go to church.

America is End Times Babylon

O America!
Chapter 8 from The Coming Epiphany
by William Frederick, M. Div.


O beautiful for spacious skies,

for amber waves of grain,

for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed his grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!

 

America is the greatest most blessed nation in all the earth. Where does America fit in the prophetic scheme of things? Is America mentioned in the Bible? Will it have a role to play in the end-times scenario? Many say that America is not mentioned in the Bible. I disagree and strongly believe that America has been prophesied about in the Bible and that it will play a major role in the end times. How could the greatest nation in the world, the only super power, not have a role to play? Of course, it will. America has been mentioned many times in scripture. The clearest mention is found in Revelation 18. This chapter describes the end-times Babylon and the judgment that it will receive. I believe America is the end-times Babylon talked about in this chapter. Let us examine this chapter to find out why I believe America is the end-times Babylon, and what will happen to her.

The main reason why I — along with many others — believe that America is the Babylon talked about in Revelation 18 is because of several verses that, when considered collectively, lead us to conclude that America is the only country that fulfills all of the parameters listed in the verses. Let us examine what the scriptures say about this modern day end-times Babylon and see how they undeniably point to America.

1. End-times Babylon is a great nation that receives judgment for its many sins.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (Rev. 18:2)

2. This nation is a superpower and has world dominance and importance. It has also spread its corruption to the world.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her. (Rev. 18:3)

3. The merchants of the world are made rich through trading with this nation. This nation consumes huge amounts of goods.

And the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. (Rev. 18:3)

And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. (Rev. 18:11–13)

4. This nation is proud and arrogant and considers herself to be invincible and the greatest nation on earth.

How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. (Rev. 18:7)

5. This nation is typified by an extravagant lifestyle.

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! (Rev. 18:16)

6. Other nations are controlled by her and given great riches by her.

And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her. (Rev. 18:9)

7. This nation is a coastal nation, with deepwater ports and much international trade.

And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off. (Rev. 18:17)

8. This nation has defenses in the heavens.

Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith the Lord. (Jer. 51:53)

Which nation is the only one in the world that meets all those qualifications? America! We are the greatest country in the world. We are the only remaining super power. We dominate world politics and dictate much of what happens in other countries through whom and what we fund in those countries. We have the largest Gross National Product (GNP) in the world, far surpassing all other countries. We buy huge amounts of goods from other countries. In fact, the economy of many countries would collapse without our trade dollars. We are a proud and arrogant people and feel that we are invincible and that we are the greatest nation in the world. America, as a whole, lives in luxury compared to the rest of the world. America has many deepwater ports, and the vast majority of goods entering this country come by way of ship. And, yes, we now are the only country that has offensive and defensive weapons in space.[1],[2] The only country that meets all of the qualifications above is America.

Yes, America is described in Revelation 18 as the end-times Babylon. R.A. Coombes, in his book America the Babylon, sums it up like this:

So if not America, what nation will be the ‘mystery Babylon’ spoken of in Revelation, chapters 17 and 18? I submit that there is no other nation that could or will, and that therefore America must be the “super” nation mentioned in Revelation…..Empirical data suggests that it is America, not Rome, or London, nor some resurrected Iraqi empire, nor the United States of Europe. Textually, from the scriptures, there is overwhelming evidence that is ironclad in its data pointing only to the identity of ‘mystery Babylon’ as being that of the United States of America. Revelation chapters 17 and 18 give us 65 major identifying data points, which are identifying markers, that point out the identifying characteristics that point out the identity of this ‘Babylon’, and what its future will be.[3]

It is also interesting that, at this time in history, America, as a result of the Iraq war, has conquered and is in control of ancient Babylon. Even though Iraq has been officially handed over to the Iraqis, we are still in control, and many have deemed the government now in place as a puppet government. Ancient Babylon was a world power that encompassed the ancient “mystery” religions, hedonism, and materialism. America also embraces the ancient “mystery religions,” hedonism, and materialism, and in many ways is similar to ancient Babylon, and ironically, now controls the land it once occupied.

Some think that the end-times Babylon mentioned in Revelation 18 is Rome. They base their reasoning on Rev. 17:9: “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.” Through the centuries, Rome has been called the city of seven hills; thus, they make the connection that end-times Babylon is Rome. But Rome does not meet the qualifications of the great nation that has control over the world during the end-times as outlined above. Here is what author Stewart Best said about this:

Rome is usually pointed at as being Babylon the city, if a literal city is even recognized. Rome, however, does not come close to being able to fulfill the parameters of God for the identification of the city, Babylon. It fails in almost all aspects. Because it does not meet the requirements of God, Rome cannot be the “great city” Babylon. This is not to say that Rome is not important in prophecy, for it is - it plays a major role and is part of the Babylonian system!

The argument goes that Rome is a city-state, and the Vatican is in reality a nation, which it is, but beyond that fact, it utterly fails all of the parameters for Babylon the Great. Babylon the Great is a large nation, with many cities. It has many huge warm water seaports, a huge military, a space program, etc. Rome does not fulfill any of these. Therefore, believe God and not man.[4]

Here is what another author has to say about the Rome/Babylon connection:

Some Bible expositors make a big deal of the fact that Revelation 17 refers (verse 9) to the seven heads of the Beast as “seven hills”. (Rome was apparently built on seven hills.) A momentary allusion to Rome was appropriate at the time, but everything else in the same chapter makes it clear that even the hills are not literal hills, but rather “seven kings”. So there are circles within circles here (as there are is so many prophecies) that are easily missed if one becomes obsessed with only one aspect of a prophecy.[5]

So if one pays close attention to the language of Revelation 17 and 18, one can easily see that Rome does not meet the qualifications of end-times Babylon; nor does ancient Babylon itself, located in Iraq. Still not convinced that America is the end-times Babylon? Here are some verses that prove it conclusively.

Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. (Jer. 50:12,13 — emphasis mine)

These verses in Jeremiah speak of the destruction that end-times Babylon will receive. It refers to end-times Babylon as having “a mother.” What country has a “mother?” America! Its “mother” is England. Consider the words of Author Stewart Best again:

This latter day Babylon has a mother, which is also a nation. This mother was responsible for “birthing” this mighty Babylon of the End Times. If Iraq is Babylon as some try to claim, who is the mother of Iraq? If you read this verse carefully, it says that the mother nation preceded Babylon, gave birth to her, watches her rise to full power, and watches her die in fire. Again, who is the mother of Iraq? Iraq has none.

Who is the mother of Rome, which is often presented as Babylon? Rome is not a nation, but a city. Further, she has no mother. Who is the mother of the EC, which is often presented as Babylon, the Revived Roman Empire? In point of fact, she will have no mother, and further, Babylon the Great is always shown as a single nation from her birth to her rise to full power and glory. The EC does not qualify. Each parameter must be fulfilled. You cannot pick and choose that which you wish to present to prove your case.

However, America has a mother. This mother was directly responsible for her birth. That mother preceded her. England has been around awhile. England gave birth to America, and England is still around, and England will watch America burn. England is further confirmed as the mother of Babylon the Great by Daniel the Prophet in Daniel 7:4 (the lion). Ezekiel also mentions it in Ezekiel 38/39 as “Tarshish”, who gives birth to “young cubs”. Tarshish is a cryptic reference to England and her young cubs are America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. Daniel refers to her as a lion. The national symbol of England is a lion. The eagle wings on top the lion is America, her daughter. America’s national symbol is the eagle with outstretched wings.[6]

America is the country with “a mother” and America meets the other scriptural qualifications. Thus, the clear scriptural interpretation is that America is the end-times Babylon.

More Indications
There are more indications that America is the end-times Babylon, as well. For example, at the gateway to our nation stands the Statue of Liberty. Free Masons in Paris gifted it to America in 1886. They commissioned fellow Mason Augusste Bertholdi, who was seeking a commission to create a robed statue of the goddess Isis, the Egyptian Queen of Heaven, holding a torch. Her connection to Babylon is easily seen in the next quote.

The Babylonian heritage of the “Statue of Liberty” should come as no real surprise to God’s people. Her identity is written in her shape. She stands on a base patterned after the Babylonian stepped-pyramids, or zigurrats, of old — which themselves were designed by the “tower” woman Semiramis and her architects. She stands literally on a base patterned after the tower of Babel! She wears a turreted crown, like Rhea, Cybele, Diana, and the pagan goddesses who were counterparts of Semiramis. She stands as a universal symbol of “liberty,” apart from the laws and commandments of God. She represents the “emanicpation” of mankind, and “immigration” and “unity” and the coming together of many races to become one universal mankind, all peoples coming together to one land, uniting the nations as “one,” with one language.

In her poem “The New Colossus,” Emma Lazarus calls the “Statue of Liberty” the “Mother of exiles.” But the truth is, she is the “Mother of harlots and abominations of the earth” (Rev. 17:5).[7]

Arguments against America as Babylon
Even though the evidence points to America as being end-times Babylon, some reject this hypothesis, citing Rev. 17:6 and 18:24: And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

They assert that America cannot be end-times Babylon because she has not participated in murdering Christians. I assert, however, that America is guilty of the murder of many Christians and Jews and will be guilty of even more in the near future.

We can assert that America already is and has slaughtered millions of innocent victims. The wholesale death of the American Indians by US forces from the 1700’s forward along with all of the aborted babies. Then of course we assert that the US leadership (Illuminati leaders) ordered fellow Illuminist, Adolf Hitler and his “illuminated” Nazi’s to kill the Jews and create the Holocaust of World War 2. In addition to that, US leaders ordered fellow Illuminist Joe Stalin to purge Russia of not just Jews but also millions of Christians during the 1930’s, 40’s and 50’s. But that’s not all, these same Illuminist leaders also ordered Illuminist Mao Tse-Tung and his Red Chinese army to slaughter up to as many as 70 million innocent men, women and children, of whom many were Chinese Christians.[8]

Mr. Coombes, in the referenced article, lists several supporting documents for his claims. I assert that, as the future leader of the New World Order, America will also be the one responsible for the martyrdom of Jews and Christians during the 70th Week of Daniel. As a matter of fact, the U.S. Senate has just passed legislation that paves the way for Christians to be arrested for hate crimes for preaching anything negative about any race, religion, sexual gender or “sexual orientation.”[9]

Not only is end-times Babylon talked about in Revelation 18, but is also talked about in Revelation 17 and other parts of scripture such as in Jeremiah 50–51 and several chapters in Isaiah as detailed by R.A. Coombes:

Babylon as a city and nation is perhaps the most mentioned gentile city/state/nation in the Bible. Only those cities in Israel, such as Jerusalem receive greater mention. There are approximately 359 direct references to the name Babylon in the Old Testament. Of these references, many are simply tied to historical accounts of events in past history. However, the 2 major prophets of the Old Testament, Isaiah and Jeremiah received from God information about a future Babylon yet to come. This future Babylon is separate and distinct from the Babylon of their day. The message of the prophets is that a latter-day Babylon would arise that would carry on the ‘spirit’ of the old Babylon. Hence, these two prophets present significant data concerning the identity of the future Babylon and its destiny. The prophets explain what will happen to this later Babylon along with data on who will be involved, where it will take place, when and how…along with why it takes place. These two prophets account for more than 80 direct references to this future city/state/nation. 64 of those are found in two chapters of Jeremiah. Those chapters are chapters 50 and 51. Isaiah accounts for two dozen more in chapters 13, 14, 18 and 47. These chapters provide a substantial insight into what happens to this latterday Babylon of the future.[10]

Jeremiah 50 and 51 is a large section of scripture concerning end-times Babylon that describe its destruction. I will not list them in full here, but I would encourage you to read them. Here are a few key verses from the text.

Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the Lord. Shout against her round about: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do unto her. Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his own land. (Jer. 50:13-16)

How is the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! How is Babylon become a desolation among the nations! I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the Lord. (Jer. 50:23,24)

Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him. (Jer. 50:31,32)

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)

These verses paint a gloomy picture of the end-times Babylon and the destruction that it will receive. How do we know that Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51 are talking about the end-times Babylon? One of the main reasons is that ancient Babylon was not destroyed in the way described in the passages above. Consider again the words of Mr. Coombes.

The future-Babylon prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah have over the centuries been misunderstood and misapplied. Until recently, many commentators considered many of the prophecies to have already occurred. It does seem that some of the predicted results do apply to the ancient Babylon. Those results speak of Babylon becoming a desert, where desert animals live and no man resides there. In reality, ancient Babylon—the city, has been deserted for nearly a thousand years. It did not occur in the manner described in the future prophecies! Furthermore, the old national empire of Babylon has remained inhabited by man, yet the prophecies speak of no habitation for the nation/state as well as the city. Additionally, the events in question indicate that the demise of this Babylon will occur in … one…that’s 1…1 hour. Yes, that is 60 minutes of time…for complete annihilation of not just a city but also a city/state/nation. That never occurred for ancient Babylon. She just slowly dissolved into nothingness. Therefore, the prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah are indeed still for the future.[11]

Here is one of the prophecies that show that ancient Babylon was not destroyed in this manner. “The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.” (Jer. 51:42) Was ancient Babylon covered with waves? Did the sea come up upon it? No! Ancient Babylon was not destroyed in that way. Thus, these scriptures have to be talking about the end-times Babylon. In Isaiah 18, we have further proof that the end-times Babylon is different from ancient Babylon: Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia: That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and peeled, to a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled! (Is 18:1,2)

Once again, notes Coombes:

Finally, we have Isaiah 18:2, where we find a reference to the future Babylon’s location as being beyond the land and rivers of Cush. This ‘rivers of Cush’ reference is relating to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers of Mesopotamia. Therefore, we find the verse trying to tell us that future Babylon is BEYOND the old Babylon by a great distance !!! The implication is that the future Babylon is nowhere close, geographically, and requires a long sea voyage to get there from anywhere in the then known world.[12]

If America is the end-times Babylon, which I am convinced that it is, then as you can see from these passages, America-Babylon is slated for destruction. America has lifted her fist in the face of God. Our sins have reached unto heaven. The murders, especially of babies, the sexual perversions, the child abuse, the pornography, the drug abuse, the witchcraft that this country is involved in, are deplorable. The worst sins are yet future, however, in which America will be instrumental in bringing about the New World Order and persecuting Jews and Christians. As a result, God’s judgment will come upon America swiftly and decisively.

America, as a whole, has shown God in recent years that it does not want Him. The nation has removed prayer from school, defamed the sanctity of marriage, and is removing the scriptures such as the Ten Commandments from being displayed publicly. America is shaking its fist in God’s face and saying “We do not want you!” Unfortunately, that is what we will get. God has begun and will continue to remove His blessings and hand of protection from our nation. 9/11 was just the start, and we can see from the language employed in Revelation 18 that America will eventually suffer a terrible destruction.

And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. (Rev. 18:2)

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.” (Rev. 18:8)

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)

Two-Stage Destruction
I do not know exactly to the last detail how the destruction of America will play out, but I do see the destruction occurring in two stages. My study of the related biblical passages has led me to believe that the first part of the judgment will involve an attack coming from the North by an invading army. Scriptures in Jeremiah and Revelation tell us that the attack is likened to what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and will involve a sudden destruction with fire and a destroying wind that will happen in one hour. The noise of the destruction will move the earth; and the shipmasters will not want to come near us for fear. I ask, for fear of what? What type of destruction is swift, involves smoke, wind, fire, burning, moves the earth, and will cause shipmasters to not want to come near? This is most likely referring to nuclear weapons being unleashed against America in an “all out” attack. Here is what Lt. Colonel Thomas E. Bearden, writing in his book, Fer De Lance, updated for 2002, said about the possibility and vulnerability of America burning:

If attacked, our ground forces will be as vulnerable as sitting ducks, out on the hot sandy desert with no place to hide. America’s cities and outmoded ABM systems will not protect us…we can expect to be attacked on all sides, with nuclear bombs, neutron bombs, EMPs, and the longitudinal electromagnetic interferometer waves that will come down upon us as fire from heaven. America will burn ...

I am sorry to say that whether you believe it or not, America as a nation is due to be judged in the 70th Week of Daniel by what looks to be an all-out nuclear attack. We will discuss the timing of this attack in the next chapter. After this first judgment, America will be totally decimated.

Your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues. (Jer. 50:12-13)

Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation. 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. (Jer. 50:39,40)

These verses indicate that, as a result of the first attack, America will become uninhabitable and likened to a desert. The second and final judgment upon America will come near the end of the 70th Week as recorded in Revelation 16:

And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.” (Rev. 16:19-21)

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)

So we see that this second judgment will occur at the return of Christ at the end of the 70th Week and will result in America not being found any more. This final destruction will probably occur as a result of the horrendous earthquake that will shake the world, causing every island to disappear and every mountain to be leveled, and America will sink into the ocean and be covered over by the waves forever:

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

Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all. (Rev. 18:21)

O America, I wish it were not true. Your sins have reached unto heaven and you will be smitten. The country that we love so dear, that was founded upon Christian principles and used to stand for righteousness, now promotes wickedness and will receive her just deserts. The scriptures will be fulfilled; America will be destroyed. If we repent — The only hope for America — I believe God would spare America just as He spared Nineveh when that city repented. The most grievous sin, abortion, needs to stop immediately! We also need to stop the pornography, the illicit sex, the flow of liquor, the drugs, the gambling, the witchcraft, and the flow of raw sewage coming out of the cesspool of Hollywood. America needs to stop its sin now! If we repent, maybe the Lord will have mercy upon us. But the scriptures tell us that America, like Sodom and Gomorrah, will not repent but will suffer the full blow of God’s wrath. God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. You will receive your just reward.

O beautiful for spacious skies

for amber waves of grain,

for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain!

America! America!

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

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

Emails of the End Times

Update added  at end of post 11/15

Emails of the End Times

I received a few emails on various end times subjects in the last few weeks that stood out to me in one way or another. With the writer's permission I am posting them here for your consideration.

Dreams:

1) Oct. 2007-- I was dreaming and all of a sudden I felt like I was being sucked out of this world, it was taking my breath away and I woke up gasping for air and choking. That was all. My senses tell me I was dreaming about the Rapture.

2) Sept. or Oct. 2007 -- I live in AZ and the weather seemed to put this dream in the cooler time of year which is late Fall or Winter according to what I was wearing in my dream (jeans and longer sleeves). I was in my house with other people. I didn't recognize them and they were in the Dining Room and I was in the Kitchen but nothing was on the counters. The time of day seemed like it was afternoon going towards evening, before the sun went down. I suddenly went to the window and looked out the window. We lived on 4-acres. In the distance (about 1,000 ft.) was a very thick, dirty-billowy cloud which extended from the sky to the ground. I don't know what caused it (an explosion from a terrorist attack, volcanic ash or a very bad dust storm). I felt very fearful at that moment. My attention at first was on one area of this huge dirty looking cloud and then to the right "inside" the cloud appeared a vertical, extremely brilliant white-light which shone from the top to the ground. I cried out to my husband in a joyous exclamation, "He (Jesus) is here!" I then turned around and was taken up.---- (Something bad is coming and I don't know how long we are involved in it but we are taken up at that time during the day and hour don't know?)

3) May-2008 --I dreamt that I was in my house (empty of furniture completely bare) and my dog was barking on the back porch (dog is deceased now). I looked out and saw a man in a Green/Creme/Brown & Black pattern (very new) Camouflage Military Uniform with cap and boots moving from right-to-left across my backyard with an armed military rifle positioned at his right-eye and aimed at me. His skin tone appeared to be darker than a Mexican though not black (Latino, S.A.-Nicaraguian). I yelled out I'm going to call the police and they ran to the side of the house out of view. I went to get my dog in and suddenly to my surprise he was already inside! He came through the door supernaturally (ghost like). This dream was so vivid and in Techni-color and it was a beautiful clear blue-sky day--temperature-not sure time of year. I don't recall ever dreaming in techni-color. (I believe this is about Martial Law coming.)

4) Nov 19, 2008--I dreamt the baseball part of this dream twice.-- First, I suddenly had what appeared to me a white missile launching with the black tip nose and some red marking right below the capsule part on one side or maybe going all around like a stripe and coming right at me (I was up above it and it was coming right at me) and another one was getting ready to launch off to the right of it. Then, I was taken to a baseball field at night and standing half-way up on a bleacher which was on the pitcher's mound area under a moon-lit night sky (it could have been a full-moon or almost). My attention was taken to the white lines on the field from the 2nd base to the 3rd base and my attention was more on the lines going towards the 3rd base in which the lines were very bright and illuminating. Suddenly, I looked up into the sky and an all solid grey swooped back-wing fighter jet was coming down right at me. He came so close I felt like I could touch him. The jet came right in front of me and seemed suspended and still in air. He looked right at me with his flight helmet on and visor down (the moon's brightness was reflecting off the visor. The jet glowed on top with the moon shining and illuminating on it. He seemed to fly by me in slow-motion. He came around and whipped in front of me and up into the sky. I followed him up and could see that there were many other jets flying with their tail-lights flickering in the night-sky. The temperature out was comfortable. This dream was very eerie and surreal. Black and white dream. 

5--One afternoon in April 2012, I was going to lay down for a short nap. When my head touched the pillow (still awake), I heard men's voices and it sounded like they were right outside my bedroom in the hallway and it startled me. My dogs were lying beside me and nothing is bothering them. I check my bedside radio to see if it is on and it is OFF. I am rather confused and wonder what is going on and a little scared! But these voices are talking in a low and secretive way and then I hear one say, "War will be on Tuesday or Thursday." It was a little garbled but the day of the week started with a "T" and it sounded more like Tuesday. That was it. They were speaking in English and I don't know where or when or who this is implying to, but I am interested to see if this plays out in the near future as well.

6--Also, March of this year at 2:30 a.m. I was woken to a extremely loud noise outside my bedroom and it sounded like someone was holding a humongous piece of sheet metal and whipping it in the air. The whipping noise lasted for 3 seconds, quit and started again for another 3 seconds. There was nothing outside because I checked. That following morning I went to the Internet and learned that along the coast of Mexico there had been an earthquake 6.0 + at 11:30 p.m. which was 2 1/2 hrs before I heard that extremely loud metallic noise. The earth is definitely moaning in birth-pangs!


A Message to Awaken

Hi, William

I don't know if it was the absence of pain or the words I heard that woke me before it was light out this morning. It could have been around 5 a.m. I'm not sure.

But as this short phrase came to me, I knew it was something special because I was not feeling any pain. In fact, I noticed how unusually comfortable I was and content. At first I thought He had answered my prayer for healing or that I was about to leave this earth.

The feeling was simultaneous with the words and it was the first word that was emphasized and simultaneous with my actions.

"AWAKE." This is what I heard as I woke from a deep sleep and tried to look into the dark room.

"Awake...He is coming soon ! ! !"

The prayer I had gone to sleep praying was, "How will it be? Will it be sooner or later?"

Was this a random dream or a message that He intends to come sooner rather than later? In any case, it was the "Awake" that seemed of greatest importance.

When I was fully awake, I went to the computer and did a word search for the word, "awake." The closest I could come to a definition was, "to rouse" or "to motivate" or "to call." That is what I sensed...as usual...that there is something I need to be doing...something God is calling me to.

All very interesting emails, indeed. And all pointing to what may come to pass sometime in the future--major end times events. Do you have questions about the end times? Would you like to know what is going to happen and when? Do you think it is too hard to understand? Are you having a hard time discerning what and who to believe?

God, UFOs, and Demons

God, UFOs, and Demons

by William Frederick, M.Div.

reposted from the archives

UFOs and aliens claim that they started life on earth and in essence are saying that they are our creator. No doubt we will hear this more and more as the end draws near and the greatest deception of all mankind is unleashed upon the earth. And this deception will no doubt be heralded by the greatest deceiver of all time—the antichrist. How do we know that such claims are false and that there truly is a God who created us?

On the surface their claims seem very credible because after all they fly around in spaceships and can use telepathy, and have great intelligence, and are so much greater than us poor mortals (Did you catch the sarcasm?). So naturally we should believe whatever these UFO aliens tell us, right? Ha, Ha, not hardly.

Let’s reason this out. Where did they come from? Who made them? Some may say that they evolved just like us but they evolved to a higher degree. OK, even though "evil"ution is a false theory for arguments sake I would say; where did the stuff come from for anything to evolve from? Some may say from the Big Bang. OK again for arguments sake I would say; where did the stuff come from to cause the Big Bang? Some may say well it was just always there. So I would say OK you admit the existence of something that was always there, thus if it was always there, then it had no beginning. Well that is exactly who God is; the beginning force, the one who had no beginning, the one who existed before all time and will always exist in the future—the beginning. God is the beginning.

In fact that is the first thing that God reveals to us about Himself in the Bible. In Gen 1:1 He says “In the beginning God…” The mere fact that we and the world around us exist demands that there had to be a beginning. The beginning force has revealed Himself to us as God the Father, God the Son—the Lord Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. And the creator God loved us so much that he sent His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to die for our sins, and He also left us with His Holy Word the Bible, so that we can know the truth about Him and what He requires of us.

So who are the UFO aliens? They are none other than the fallen angels and their spawn. Their leader is the devil himself. Yes they have great knowledge, yes they can do extraordinary things, and yes they can fly around in spaceships. But they are not who they say that they are, they are nothing more than demons of the underworld trying to deceive as many people as they can to bring them into Hell. Even the smell of sulfur that they omit is a clear give away of their infernal nature. If you ever see one just rebuke them in the name and through the blood of Jesus, and watch them flee!

Oh by the way, I do believe in the Big Bang; God said it and BANG it happened!

I opened my Bible today for my daily devotions and it opened to Jeremiah 10, which not by coincidence, fits in nicely with the discussion above.

1Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them… 10But the LORD is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation. 11Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens. 12He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. 13When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.

The end times is approaching fast, time is short, there is much that you need to prepare for.

Hurricane Sandy; Only the Beginning, More Judgments Coming

Updated 11/8 at end of post

Source Fox News

In my last post entitled ALERT Hurricane Sandy; HAARPing on a Judgment of Biblical Proportions, I put forth the assertion, and explained why, I believe Hurricane Sandy was a judgment from God for America’s sins against marriage, unborn children, and Israel. Some have scoffed at this assertion, but all the "connections" presented in that post lead me to firmly believe it was a judgment upon us. In this post I put forth the assertion that more judgments are coming--let me explain why I believe this.

In the original Hurricane Sandy post I explained how I asked God to give me a message for Hurricane Sandy when I randomly opened my Bible. Here are the verses from Ezekiel 7 I turned to several days before the storm hit, and some of what I wrote concerning this.

7:1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.

3 Now is the end come upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.

4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

5 Thus saith the Lord God; An evil, an only evil, behold, is come.

6 An end is come, the end is come: it watcheth for thee; behold, it is come.

7 The morning is come unto thee, O thou that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of trouble is near, and not the sounding again of the mountains.

8 Now will I shortly pour out my fury upon thee, and accomplish mine anger upon thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense thee for all thine abominations.

9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will recompense thee according to thy ways and thine abominations that are in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I am the Lord that smiteth…

Will this storm bring a catastrophic judgment upon the East Coast of America? And if so, will it be a judgment from God against our sins regarding marriage, childbirth, and our treatment of Israel? Or will God have mercy on us and turn it out to sea? I do not know what will transpire regarding this storm, but if God directed me to that passage, which I believe, then it would indicate that judgment is coming, and it will not be turned away. Of course you can believe as you choose.

As you are well aware Hurricane Sandy did not turn away, and the storm did bring a catastrophic destruction to the Northeast “corner” of America. It was truly a historic storm—In diameter, it was the largest Atlantic hurricane on record, with winds spanning 1,100 miles (1,800 km) and created the largest recorded storm surge in the Northeast. At the time of this writing we have estimates of 79 dead, 55 Billion in damages and economic loss, and 8.2 million without power at the height of the storm, and millions still without power. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Sandy. My heart and prayers go out to those who are suffering and are in need.

Unfortunately I believe Hurricane Sandy was only the beginning—I believe more judgments are coming. Why do I believe more judgments are coming? In the Ezekiel 7 passage listed above it says; “An end, the end is come upon the four corners of the land.” Hurricane Sandy hit one “corner” of our land; that raises the possibility that the other corners are going to receive judgment also.

If God directed me to that passage, which I believe He did, then it indicates to me that there are more judgments coming to the other “corners” of our land—namely and in respect to the continental United States it would be the areas of the Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest. (Note; these areas would be expanded if all of the United States and its Territories were included.)

What types of catastrophic judgments are the “corners” of the continental United States prone to?

Southeast: Major Hurricane, or Tsunami.

Northwest: Tsunami, Volcanic eruptions, Earthquakes.

Southwest: Major Earthquake, Volcanic eruption.

Not to mention the threat of terrorist actions, which could occur in any of those regions. After coming to these conclusions I came upon a “fictional” write up, as he calls it, of the near future by George Ure—a secular financial writer at Urban Survival—that surprisingly painted a similar picture to the possibilities I listed above.

Most won't see anything coming - and while the secret memo admits there's a 50-50 change nothing will happen, it will also lay out the most dire possibilities if the science is right:  California falling into the ocean or becoming a series of islands, the Pacific Northwest developing a crack extending south Puget Sound all the wav south, through Portland and to almost the Grants Pass, Oregon area.

And since there is a major series of 9-10+ quakes coming, people on the East Coast will not see the pending calamity at La Palma/Cumbre Vieja, either.  People along the US East Coast will be shocked at the 200-foot waves generated by the undersea landslide there, which will destroy low lying areas, including most of Florida's east coast.  So much for the mansions along the A1A.

To be sure, a few websites will be able to piece things together - but very few... Urban Survival 10/28/12 http://urbansurvival.com/week.htm

Take note; independently from other sources he has indicated in his “fictional” account of the near future that he believes catastrophes may come to the Southeast, Northwest, and Southwest continental United States. Based on the Ezekiel 7 passage, which I believe God led me to, I have come to the same conclusion and believe that judgments are coming upon those same areas.

In summary; I believe Hurricane Sandy was the first of a series of judgments coming against the “4 corners” of the United States. I believe one has come, and at least three more are coming. When will these other judgments occur? I do not know, but it would not surprise me if they happened soon. 

Why am I alerting you to the possibility of future judgments? Do you think it is because I want to be right and want to see these things happen? NO, it is because of these verses;

Ezekiel 33 Again the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

3 If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

4 Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

I see the sword coming upon the land, and I am trying to warn you. I am also warning you because it is my prayer that as individuals, and as a nation, that America would repent of its sin, and turn to God for mercy. The Ninevites did it, and they were spared.

Individual repentance starts with recognizing that we are sinners, and deserve Hell for our sins. We must also recognize that Jesus was God, and that He died on the cross to pay for our sins, and then accept Him into our lives by faith. “for all who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” For a further explanation on what you must do to be saved, read a short message entitled God’s Gift of Salvation.

As a country we have many sins too numerous to mention, here are some major ones; the killing of the innocents, the attack on traditional marriage and family, betraying Israel, sexual perversions, blatant occultism, the raw sewage flowing out of the cesspool of Hollywood, etc. As the scripture says, Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. Prov 14:34.  America needs to repent, and it starts with each one of us!

In my devotions this morning I randomly opened my Bible and these verses stood out to me concerning the sins of America.

Isaiah 59 Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

² But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

³ For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.

⁴ None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.

⁵ They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

⁶ Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

⁷ Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

⁸ The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

⁹ Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

¹⁰ We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.

¹¹ We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

¹² For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

¹³ In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

¹⁴ And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.

¹⁵ Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.

¹⁶ And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

¹⁷ For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

¹⁸ According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.

¹⁹ So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun…

I believe that the judgments upon our land are going to increase in magnitude and intensity. I also believe this is a sign that the end times are very near. Are you prepared for the end times?

Update 11/8: A second judgment has come to the Northeast in the form of a powerful Nor'easter that has brought record snowfalls, hampered Hurricane Sandy recovery efforts, and left another 60,000 without power. The NWS interestingly enough has named this storm Athena.

In Greek mythology Athena is primarily known as the goddess of wisdom and warfare. She was also the "illegitimate" daughter of Zeus whose wife was Hera. If you remember from the first post the name Sandy derives from Hera.

So the name Sandy had connections to the goddess of marriage and childbirth and the second storm has a connection with illegitimacy. See the connections?

I had another interesting thought; above the verse said "an end, the end." The phrase was repeated twice, and we had 2 storms of judgment upon the Northeast corner of our land. Does this imply that the other 3 corners will get 2 judgments each?
