Everybody who wants to be even further convinced that this is the year just go to Five Doves and read the material by J. Taylor on this above title!!!

I hope somebody might post it on RITA so I can make a copy of it myself!!!!

I think if we find anymore reason for this year being the year of the rapture will be nothing more than overkill; but bring it on anyway!!!!

i tried to access the site for the 88 reasons for a 2010 rapture, didn't work for me. I am using a county library computer, an alert page came up saying the content is Porn, anyone alse have any better luck ?

Here is a link to Taylor's e-book. It covers a lot of ground, most of which has appeared here on RITA.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/22909127/Rapture-2010

Still an interesting read.

Grand Valley in great pyramid RAPTURE 2010
http://www.xzone-radio.com/news/rapture.htm
The chambers in the great pyramid or pillar of Enoch predicts
the rapture and the onset of seven years of tribulation in 2010!!!
So why do I think the Rapture will occur sometime in 2010? Part of this is
tied up in the end date for the Mayan calendar in 2012 AD, as well as the
prophetic "inches converted to years" measurement of the central
connecting passages between the chambers in the Great Pyramid, or Pillar
of Enoch. Through study and prayer, it was revealed to me that the Grand
Gallery symbolizes the Church Age, the Antechamber into the King's
Chamber signifies the Great Tribulation, and the King's Chamber
represents the Millennial Kingdom of Christ. Go to http://pillar-ofenoch.
com/graphics/hallel/interior-pyramid.jpg to see my illustration of the
Pillar of Enoch's interior chambers, which was taken from my book on
prophecy.
Now, the final inch of the Great Step in the Grand Gallery leading to the
Antechamber is tied to the year 2010 AD, indicating that the Great
Tribulation may begin immediately in 2010. After all, the Great Pyramid
indicates that the year 2010 is a significant year, and Psalm 110 speaks of
Christ sitting on His heavenly throne, and watching the events about to
unfold on the Earth that will lead to His Millennial Kingdom ...
I THEREFORE THINK THE RAPTURE WILL OCCUR IN SOMETIME IN THE
YEAR 2010"!!!!!.
It says the "GRAND VALLEY" represents church age, and in the following
picture, it ends in 2010!!!!......

In the Bible there are two prominent passages that point to the Pyramids of
Egypt.
Which hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day . . . -
Jeremiah 32:20a
In that Day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt,
and a pillar to the Lord at its border. And it will be for a sign and for a witness
to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt, for they will cry to the Lord because of
the oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Mighty One, and He will
deliver them. -Isaiah 19:19-20
According to the Scriptures, God has placed wonders in Egypt to be a sign at the
return of the Lord. This would be the Second Coming of Christ at the end of the
Tribulation (or the Rapture, at the beginning). This altar is on the border, but yet
in the middle. “Giza” means “border” and it is at the border of Upper and Lower
Egypt. It is also in the middle of Egypt. The Great Pyramid, the last remaining
wonder of the ancient world, is located in Giza. The nature of the Great Pyramid
and its complex makes it the only real candidate fitting the prophecy in Isaiah.
This would pertain to the time of the Second Coming when Christ returns to
deliver the oppressed.
The conclusion that the Great Pyramid will be used by God is biblical. However,
there are many who cannot accept this fact. Most see the pyramids as Egyptian
and in the same category as the idolatry practiced by them. But that assumes they
are Egyptian. Jewish tradition recorded by Josephus (Antiquities i, 2), and also
Arab tradition (Abou Balkhi), place the construction of the Great Pyramid before
the Flood of Noah. Of course it is not surprising that Egyptians would want to lay
claim to the building the pyramids in order to add them to their portfolio.
However, there were no hieroglyphs inside when the Great Pyramid was first
opened by Calif Al Mamoun in the ninth century AD. No mummies or treasures
either, it was empty. Nothing could positively identify the builder with any
certainty. It remains an architectural marvel still unexplained as to how it was
engineered with technology from literally a different age—a lost era that is best
explained as being pre-Flood.
To say the Great Pyramid or even the other pyramids were built before the Flood
is not popular—or yet even admit to a Flood. What is interesting is that the four
air shafts of the Great Pyramid are said to have lined up with certain stars (Al
Nitak, Kochab, Sirius, Alpha Draconis) at around 2450 BC. If this is true it would
put the time of this alignment at about 100 years before the Flood using a biblical
chronology. At this time Noah would be having his three sons who with their
wives will make the voyage on the Ark. This makes sense of the Jewish and Arab
traditions that teach wise men before the Flood built two pillars to pass on their
knowledge. The Great Pyramid and all that it reveals fits this model and it has
also survived.
Those who have studied the Great Pyramid are quickly confronted by the
mathematical and geometrical knowledge incorporated into its construction. It is
a knowledge that was not discovered until the advances in mathematics and
measurements of the modern age made it possible. All of these amazing facts can
be found, but this is not the direction of this writing. Instead the need here is to
focus on the prophetic implications found in the Great Pyramid. Most have
focused on the measurements of the passageways and chambers to see if a
historical map of the future can be made. However, there are different
measurements given by others and at times it all seems too subjective—at least at
this point. If the builder of the Great Pyramid really did build it to communicate,
then it should be somewhat obvious. For one, if we learn what the
Pyramid has shown us, then we can develop a model on what the
Pyramid will show us. That is why we must begin with the Christ Angle.
The Christ angle is roughly 26.3 degrees or more precisely 26 degrees, 18
minutes, and 9 seconds. It is the angle of the ascending and descending
passageways inside the Great Pyramid. It is called such because this angle if
taken north of east from the Great Pyramid will bisect Bethlehem. Those who
know the Nativity know that Bethlehem is where Christ was born. But this is not
all. If one were at Bethlehem at the time of Christ’s birth and looked up to the
lower belt star of Orion (Al Nitak—the wounded one) at meridian, the angle of
that star above the horizon would be at the same angle of the Great Pyramid
itself—51 degrees and 51 minutes. Is it pure coincidence or was it rather by
design?

THE GREAT PYRAMID, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO
ARE RESEARCHERS – REVEALS THE HIDDEN
DATES OF THE END – TIMES…
Enoch was taken to heaven, shown the great secrets of God, and over a 60 day
period wrote 366 books. Enoch is then returned to earth for 30 days to give
instruction to his sons and his children's children. After 30 days he was taken
back to heaven. When he was 365 years old he disappeared – he was raptured.
It appears that the pyramid may be a record of knowledge Enoch revealed to his
sons. The pyramid could be a structure built by Enoch's sons to record for
future generations a testimony and monument of the Lord and His secrets.
Inside the pyramid there is a system of rising, descending and horizontal
passages linking a number of chambers with various dimensions, angles and
slopes recorded in stone.
The message is not in any language, but are expressible in mathematics. The
only true universal language. The revealed message is in terms of a
mathematical code.
The mathematical code connects to the words of scripture recorded in the 19th
and 20th verses of Isaiah 19.
Isaiah 19:19,20
19. In that day shall there be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of
Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord.
20. And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Lord of hosts in the land
of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the Lord.
In the Hebrew language the letter symbols of the language are also the same
symbols as numbers. The 30 words of Isaiah 19:19 in Hebrew have a sum total
of 5,449. This is the total numerically of Isaiah 19:19. The distance between the
north and the south poles boring through the earth divided by 500 million
equals 5,449. The number of pyramid inches from the base of the pyramid to
the summit platform of the pyramid is 5,449.
The shortest chapter with the least amount written of the Bible is Psalm 117:,
and the larges chapter with the most amount written is chapter 119:
Between the smallest chapter of the Bible and the Largest Chapter of the Bible
lies the central verse of the Bible. This is located in the center of the Bible, with
594 verses from Genesis 1:1 to Psalms 118:8. There are also 594 verses from
Psalms 118:8 to Revelation 22:21.
The 118th Psalm also speaks of the Pyramid of Giza. The Pyramid of Giza
also seems to be a code of the whole Bible.
The Pyramid of Giza seems to be the words of all creation and history and
prophecy of the earth written in stone.
The Pyramid points to the Bible and the Bible points to the Pyramid.
The 118th Psalm speaks of the Pyramid in speaking about the chief Corner
stone. A chief corner stone can only refer to a pyramid and the Pyramid of Giza
is the only one located at the central point of the entire land area of the earth. It
is also the only pyramid with the chief corner stone missing.
This is referring to Jesus Christ in the 118th Psalm the chief corner stone that
the builders rejected.
Many people are aware of the phenomenal engineering feats involved in the
construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza. For those who are not I would like
to give a brief and simple summary of some of these facts.
On the west of the river Nile, not too far from ancient Memphis and almost
opposite present day Cairo, stands the last one of the seven wonders of the
ancient world THE GREAT PYRAMID. This is the largest of all the pyramids
and the first built. It embodies in its construction such a wealth of knowledge of
mathematics and astronomy that indicate that its builders possessed amazing
wisdom.
The original pyramid was built of granite and limestone rock and had a smooth
exterior finish of white limestone which would have made it impossible to
surmount. Some legends say its capstone was made of gold. In its original form
it must have been an awe inspiring sight. But the passage of time and the wear
and tear of countless storms have stripped away its limestone exterior and left
us with what we have today. Now one can climb to the top, using the bricks as
stairs, a feat which, in its initial form, would have been impossible. The
esteemed architect and eschatologist, Clarence Larkin, made the following
observations.
The base of the Great Pyramid covers about thirteen acres. It consists of
approximately 2.3 million blocks of stone weighing around 2.5 tons each, some
weighing up to 50 tons. Some huge granite blocks, weighing 100 tons, are
situated within the pyramid structure at a height of 46 meters. The base of the
pyramid is a square with right angles accurate to within one-twentieth of a
degree. The sides are equilateral triangles and face exactly to the true north,
south, east and west of the earth.
Taking the Hebrew cubit to be 25.025 inches, the length of each side of the
base is 365.2422 cubits, the exact number of days in the solar year (including
the extra day for every 4 years).
The slope of the sides of the pyramid is of such an angle that they meet at the
apex at the predetermined height of 232.52 cubits. If twice the length of a side
at the base, be divided by the height of the pyramid we arrive at the figures
3.14159, which when multiplied by the diameter of a circle, gives its
circumference.
The perimeter of the base of the pyramid (365.242 x 4 = 14609.68) is exactly
equal to the circumference of a circle whose diameter is twice the height of the
pyramid (232.52 x 2 x 3.1416 = 14609.68). So here we have in these figures the
solution to the problem of how to square a circle.
The angle of slope of the sides is 10 to 9. That is, for every 10 feet you ascend,
you rise in altitude 9 feet. And if you multiply the altitude of the pyramid by 10
raised to the power of 9, you have 91,840,000, which in miles, is the exact
distance of the sun from the earth!
The year of the stars is called the 'Sidereal' and the year of the seasons is called
the 'Equinoctial'. They differ by about 50 seconds per year. In other words, the
stars in their rising and setting are retarded by about 50 seconds each year. In
order for the 'Sidereal' and the 'Equinoctial' years to come around and coincide
again would take 25,827 years, which is called a 'cycle'. If we add together the
diagonals of the pyramids base in inches, we arrive at 25,827, or as many
inches as the cycle has years.
The Great Pyramid stands at the exact centre of the world. It is midway
between the west coast of Mexico and the east coast of China. Between the
north cape of Norway and the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. It stands at
the intersection of the 30th parallel, both latitude and longitude. The Great
Pyramid was the highest buildings in the world for thousands of years until
modern man began building skyscrapers such as the World Trade Center. If it
were compared to a skyscraper, the Great Pyramid would be 42 stories high. It
contains enough stone to build a six foot high wall from New York to Los
Angeles.
Researchers Alan and Sally Lansberg provide the following statistics regarding
this incredible edifice:
"Somehow the builders knew that the world was round but flattened at the
poles, which caused a degree of latitude to lengthen at the top and bottom of the
planet; that it rotated in one day on an axis tilted 23.5* to the ecliptic, causing
night and day, and that this tilt caused the seasons; that earth circled the sun
once in a year of 365 and a fraction days.
The designers also must have known that earth's celestial north pole described a
slow circle around the pole of the ecliptic, making the constellations appear to
'slip backward' (the precession of the equinoxes), and bring a new constellation
of the Zodiac behind the sun at the equinox approximately every twenty two
hundred years in a grand circle of about twenty-six thousand years. These facts,
too, were part of the internal measurements of the pyramid".
We are asked to believe that primitive man, dressed in animal skins and
roaming wild, constructed the Great Pyramid with all that it entails, yet these
same builders had not yet invented the simple wheel.
From an astronomical point of view, we have learned some extraordinary facts.
There are four long narrow passage ways or shafts built into the Great Pyramid.
Two on the north face and two on the south. The two on the north point to two
distinct stars. One at Beta Ursa Minor and one at Alpha Draconis in the
constellation of Draco.
The 'star shafts' on the south face point at Sirius and Zeta Orionis. In ancient
Egyptian tradition, Sirius is associated with the goddess Isis. And Zita Orionis,
which is the brightest star of three in Orions belt, is identified with Osiris, the
high god of resurrection and rebirth in the remote epoch referred to as 'Zep
Tepi' or 'First Time'.
At Nazca in Peru we find a huge combination of strange lines and drawings
which only become discernable when viewed from an airplane. These lines
cover a large area of 60 kilometers square and could in no way be the work of
mortal man. There are various sketches of the Nazca Monkey, Humming Bird,
Whale, Spider, Dog and Condor, all etched into the rugged earth. Scores of
perfectly geometric lines and designs populate the landscape. Some of the lines
resemble runways used for aircraft either landing or taking off. The longest of
these lines measures almost 15 miles (23 kilometers). But what do they mean?
Where did they come from and who made them? Again the scholars and
experts arrive at the same conclusion. They don't know. Speculation reigns.
There is an ancient temple at Baalbek in Lebanon known as the temple of
Jupiter. Incorporated in the foundations are three huge cut-stone blocks
weighing 800 tons each. Not far away lies another gigantic stone block called
the Stone of the South, weighing 1000 tons. This is the combined weight of
three 747 Jumbo Jets. How did the builders cut such huge blocks and, more to
the point, how did they move them into place?
Much has been chronicled regarding the building and astronomical parallels
and mathematical qualities of the many monuments that populate the globe.
Fine and learned scholars have mapped and measured these buildings and
charted their celestial counterparts with minute precision. Many books
containing the finer details of their construction and stellar configuration
populate bookshops everywhere. In the interest of simplicity I would refer the
reader to consider these if further information is required.
What message are these edifices relaying to us? Is there something we can
learn from them that has so far eluded us? If the cold walls of these dumb
monoliths could speak, what priceless information would they impart? Do they
portend coming events?
Buried in the depths of the Pentateuch and other ancient Hebrew texts, lies a
wealth of information that has long been, by and large, invisible to most
scholars. But how reliable are these age old writings? Can we learn anything
new from them or is our first instinct to dismiss any likely discoveries as mere
fable? Before delving into these hidden scripts, I would like to put forth some
interesting vignettes which may have previously been unknown to the reader.
In his best selling book "The Bible Code", Michael Drosnin sets out his
findings on a series of computer based scientific tests carried out by himself
and some eminent Jewish mathematicians. It was well known of old by Jewish
scribes, that there was a hidden code encrypted in the Hebrew lettering of the
Pentateuch, which is the name for the first five books of the Old Testament.
These are written originally in Hebrew. If you take the first Hebrew letter in
Genesis, skip 49 and take the next letter, and repeat the skip sequence, then
every four letters spells Torah (the Hebrew word pronounced 'Torah', meaning
'The Law of God').
This holds all the way through the first two books of the Bible, Genesis and
Exodus. When you get to the middle book of the five, Leviticus, it stops.
However, when you do the same skip sequence for Deuteronomy and the Book
of Numbers, it spells Hrot, which is Torah backwards.
Go back now to the middle book of the five, Leviticus, use the skip sequence
again this time skipping every seven letters, and it spells YHWH (pronounced
YAWEH). Which is the Hebrew name for God!
So we have every 49 letters in Genesis and Exodus spelling 'The Law of God'
and pointing to Leviticus, and every 49 letters of Deuteronomy and Numbers
spelling 'The Law of God' backwards and pointing to Leviticus. Every seven
letters in this book spells YAWH; God himself.
Because Hebrew lettering is mathematical as well as literal, these scholars were
able to put the whole of the Pentateuch into a computer program. Then they
chose differing "skip" sequences and ran them through the program. The results
they found astounded them. Encoded throughout the texts, they found messages
concerning different aspects of life and history.
For instance, Drosnin himself whilst running through a particular test one day,
found the name Yitzhak Rabin encoded in the text. Written across this name
was "Assassin That Will Assassinate", Perplexed and concerned by his
findings, Drosnin then wrote to Yitzhak Rabin (who was then President of
Israel), telling him of his findings. Rabin wrote back and informed Drosnin that
he was a humanist, a fatalist and unconcerned with these findings.
Some time later, while in a railway station in Canada, Drosnin was speaking on
the telephone to a friend. His friend asked him if he had heard the latest news.
"What news?" Drosnin asked. "Yitzhak Rabin has just been shot dead in
Israel"!
With this, Drosnin dropped the phone and began to shake. Before this, he had
known intellectually in his head, that these codes were unique. But now he
knew in his heart and his stomach, that these hidden codes were indeed for real.
Michael Drosnin and the Jewish mathematicians that pioneered these studies,
have done thousands of these 'skip' sequence tests. They have found all manner
of information concerning events that have already happened and some
concerning the future. And the interesting thing is, there is no way they could
have discovered these hidden codes without the use of computers. For the
information is so vast, and the permutations so great, that in no way could it be
deciphered without the use of our modem day computers.
After Yitzhak Rabin's assassin was arrested, Drosnin put his name into the
program and ran it through the same sequence he had used before. To his
astonishment, right above the place where he had found the original message
concerning Yitzhak Rabin, his assassin's name was encoded in the Hebrew text.
This is just a small snippet from Michael Drosnin's book. His findings along
with those of his Jewish colleagues have been tested and scrutinized by many
agencies such as the CIA and the American army and none have been able to
contradict or gainsay their conclusions.
This tells us that there is much we do not know and have yet to discover
concerning these ancient texts that have been largely ignored for so long.
Suppose you are asked to construct a genealogy of real people, but there are
certain constraints. The number of words in this genealogy must:
· Be evenly divisible by seven (with no remainders)
· The number of letters must be divisible by seven
· The number of vowels and consonants must be divisible by seven
· The number of words that begin with a vowel must be divisible by seven
· The number of words that begin with a consonant must be divisible by seven
· The number of words that occur more than once, must be divisible by seven
· The number of words that occur in more than one form must be divisible by
seven
· The number of words that occur only in one form must be divisible by seven
· The number of names in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
· The number of male names must be divisible by seven
· And the number of generations in the genealogy must be divisible by seven
Would it not be next to impossible to draw up such a genealogy? Yet this
describes exactly the genealogy of the Messiah as given in the gospel of
Matthew 1 :2-17. From an academic and literary point of view, the Bible stands
head and shoulders above any other book ever written, yet it is largely ignored
in academia. It has sold over eight billion copies in more than 2,000 languages.
It was written by 40 different men over a period of 1,600 years yet it remains
united in its content. It has survived 40 centuries of history. It has more ancient
manuscripts to authenticate it than any other ten pieces of ancient literature put
together.
In fact there are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, the
oldest dating to around 68AD. Compare this with only nine old copies of
'Caesar's Gallic War' and the oldest of these is 900 years after Caesar died. Yet
nobody questions these?
When copying was being carried out, the Hebrew scribes had enormous
reverence for the text of the Bible. Copies were checked, double checked and
re-checked many times. If a small mistake was made, the whole page would be
re-written. When they came to the word 'Yahweh' meaning God, they would
burn the pen and change their clothes. Only photocopying is more accurate than
the methods they followed to preserve the accuracy and integrity of the text.
One would think that those who occupy the seats of higher learning would
acknowledge the obvious literary merits of the Bible.
It was, after all:
· The source of over 1200 quotations used by William Shakespeare in his
works.
· The inspiration for literary giants such as Milton, C.S. Lewis, Sir Walter Scott
and Charles Dickens.
· The Inspiration for Da Vinci's Last Supper, Michelangelo's Pieta and Handel's
Messiah which he wrote in 21 days, the entire text coming from The Book of
Isaiah.
· The motivation for the work of Mother Theresa, Abraham Lincoln, Isaac
Newton and Martin Luther King.
Yet despite its unequalled position as an academic document, the Bible is
ignored and withheld from students of literary works. It is sidelined and
boycotted and scoffed at in favor of lesser works of men. You would think that
even the humanist non-believer would pay tribute to the academic worth of this
mighty tome, and the effect it has had on the history of civilization. But no, all
are silent.

Dream about My Red Screen from
Woman Who Didn't Know about Red
Screen – When the Red Screen Is Up
(This Is NOT It), This Will be the Final
14-Day Warning
January 31, 2010
Joyce T
Dear Mr. Quayle,
I don't know if this is important for you to know or not. I am a born again,
Spirit filled woman and I have walked with the Lord for almost 50 years.
I have had about 4 or 5 dreams in my life and all of them came to past
exactly as I saw them.
One day last week for some unknown reason, I felt I should ask God to
give me a dream or vision if there was anything He specifically wanted
me to know. I can't remember doing that before.
I usually dream every night, but don't remember the dreams. However,
the next day while I was checking your web site (which I do several
times a day), all of a sudden I remembered the dream I had which I
feel is from the Lord.
I dreamed that I had clicked on to a web site and it was red but the print
and pictures were just slightly lighter like yellow/red or orange/red - just
enough to tell that it wasn't a blank red screen. In my dream I
immediately thought something was wrong with my monitor and then I
heard a voice say (still in the dream) "the site has gone red". Then I
suddenly realized that it was your web site. I then inquired of the Lord
what I should do. I did not feel frightened or panic, but I did feel a sense
of urgency to let others know. There was no time frame associated with
this short dream, but I know for sure that God was telling me that some
day it will turn red.
Most people I have tried to talk to about the "real reality" of this world,
they just don't want their Disneyland delusional belief system to end. It
especially grieves me that churches or ministers don't want to know or
believe it.
I know that you are true and a Godly man because I know it in my spirit.
Also, I did not know ANYTHING about what was going on in the world
until about this time a year ago when I was watching a Christian video
on YouTube which I had never done before either. When it was over it
gave me an option to choose another video. Then I watched one from
Aaron Russo and from that point on the Holy Spirit taught me
sequentially by videos and articles about the NWO, etc. That is how I
found your site.
I also want to mention that last month we had a very bad snow storm.
Highways became parking lots within about 4 hours as the entire Tricities
(Bristol, Kingsport, Johnson City) and all the surrounding
communities became immobile. I lived in MI for 39 years and never saw
anything like this. There were cars stranded everywhere and power was
off in many areas. The interesting thing and why I am telling you about
this is because we stopped at one of the only fast food restaurants still
open and while waiting I watched the sky light up from both the North
and South as far as I could see. I thought quickly to try my cell phone
and it did not work. It did not say no signal, there was just nothing. I
have never had that happen for any reason before. It was not a
transformer blowing. I just wondered if this storm which caught
everyone by surprise was a test - a weather weapon - to see what
would happen in this area. I did notice that during about the first 1 1/2
hours, people were still courteous and trying to help each other as we
inched along, but as time went on; people became outright mean and
refused to help others navigate the roads. It was each man for himself..
As a final note, after learning about the NWO and this very dark world
that we live in, I asked the Lord why He showed me all of this and He
told me, "so that you will not be deceived". Isn't God just so gracious
and merciful. He will never leave us or forsake us and I know He will
give us grace to go through whatever is before us.
I pray that God will strengthen you and don't let your adversaries divert
your attention and drain you of your energy. Stay on the wall and fight
the good fight as you have been doing.
God bless and keep you all,
Joyce T.

...Attack 'Certain'
Intel Chief: U.S. at Risk of Crippling Cyber Attack
February 4, 2010
By Holly Deyo
How clever is cutting border security when:
1. We already have millions of illegal immigrants pouring through the
borders
2. History shows terrorists do enter through both U.S. borders and
3. In the last three days, headlines scream that it's a 'certainty" we will
be hit with a new terrorist attack in '3-6 months'
They climb fences, swim the Rio Grande, walk through open-fence
border areas and pay coyotes to truck them across. Some crawl through
southern border tunnels, some use water routes and others, as in the
case ofAhmed Ressam, simply drive into Washington through
Canada.
Can opting for security laxness be anything but a deliberate act of letting
down of the guard? Surely 20 million illegal aliens is evidence enough
that we need more border security – not cuts.
Money consideration is
a poor trade-off for
national security.
Government can find
big $$ to send
Congress to
Copenhagen and
waste millions on pork
barrel issues and
countless other
spendthrift endeavors.
Surely in Obama's trillion-dollar budget, he could find a few million to
beef up border security.
Most of us are not looking forward to this next – and known – terrorist
attack. It seems like the administration is trying to facilitate disaster
instead prevent it. Not all, but some in positions of authority are treating
our futures with thumb-to-nose disregard.
This should put a clear face on what's been elected to office. It's yet
another reason – on an already lengthy list – to vote the bums out.
Transparency – for a Change
Have you noticed prior to Saturday's revelation how government
officials danced around news of another terrorist attack? It's months or
years later we hear about numerous thwarted attempts.
Today is different. There is no minimizing the threat. No brush-off of
information.
IF terrorists perpetrate a cyber attack, you might feel like you'd be better
off than in a WMD strike. Thoughts of an unknown bug contaminating
our food supply, contracting some horrible disease or being paralyzed
by a nerve agent is scary enough. Frankly, a nuclear detonation would
be more tolerable than a "crippling" cyber attack. A nuke's painful
effects would be more manageable and less enduring, ground zero
aside. Fact.
Probed Like Tender Meat
For years now, we've had warning
that a cyber attack might one day
morph into reality. Hackers have
tested utilities and caused
blackouts in Central and South
American and Mexico. They've
already embedded malicious code in our power grid and trial runs
have plagued foreign utilities. As expected, China and Russia are at
the heart of U.S. power grid probes. In other arenas, China has detailed
plans to disable the U.S. aircraft battle carrier fleet.
Countless millions have been stolen in banking hacks along with
personal records. Part of this problem stems from people using too easy
passwords like "12345" or "password".
Two years ago the Pentagon was penetrated resulting in the banning of
using external hard drives and the White House suffered an
"unprecedented" cyber attack. Last July the New York Stock
Exchangeand White House were targeted with malware. And
today, Google enlisted the NSA to fight cyber attacks. China has
already hacked Google’s accounts – not quite as big a drama as
infrastructure, but this company is savvy to what hacking can do.
We've had more than ample warning. A cyber attack is our
"unprotected back door". We've already experienced just the tip of the
'berg with denial of service (DNS) attacks and very slow internet
traffic. (Part of this traffic may be attributed to heavier Net usage since
more people are unemployed.)
Any of the above scenarios paints a horrible scenario, but taken
together in a "crippling attack"... it's unthinkable.
What This Means to You
Nearly everything you do and use each day has some connection to
computers and cyberspace. Computers run all facets of banking, store
inventories, check approvals. Without computers every purchase would
be cash only transactions WHILE product was still available. This
assum

Peopl
e
depending on monthly social security or dividend checks would have a
very difficult time. If you think unemployment numbers are rough now,
just wait.
Internet business would be crushed. So would many brick-and-mortar
establishments. No power, no product, no business.
Gas and diesel from source to station would cease. ALL utilities -
zapped. You'd have no lighting, no heat, no air conditioning, and no
water. Garbage would pile up and sanitation - a fond memory. Most
treatment plants only have enough chlorine to purify water for 5-7 days.
Its automated chlorination system would shut down. Hospitals would be
severely handicapped. How long would it be until medications and
antibiotics were unavailable?
Police forces would be overrun with criminals and panicked people
alike. Without question, martial law would be enacted immediately.
If you haven't purchased a firearm, it would be too late. Gun sales are
all predicated on computer-driven background checks.
You wouldn't know what happened because there'd be no TV, no radio.
Maybe there's a power outage? You wonder.
The penny drops as military troops invade every city. What's wrong?
Wondering changes to dread. Something horrible has happened.
The most dependable source of information is ham operators with
battery- or generator-powered units. Information would pass
neighborhood to neighborhood, from other individuals that had workable
receivers.
Heed the Warning
This is just a quick overview of the misery involved in a "crippling" cyber
attack. Repercussions were glossed over by media in these recent
announcements, lumped together under "infrastructure" targets. No one
outlined how all-encompassing and devastating this is.
For your own safety and well-being, these are things you must consider.
You've got a few months to get ready. This is one of these rare
disasters when you get advance notice. Make the most of it.

WHAT IF IT IS REALLY 2012 RIGHT NOW? ...Joseph Blackmon
Joseph Blackmon (19 Nov 2009)
""WHAT IF IT IS REALLY "2012"; RIGHT NOW?""
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“WHAT IF IT IS REALLY “2012”; RIGHT NOW ?”
I THOUGHT I WOULD GIVE ANOTHER POSSIBLE PIECE TO THE PUZZLE,
OF THE COMING OF THE LORD, WHICH MAY STIR UP OTHER MINDS TO
SEEK THE LORD ON THIS MATTER.
WHAT “IF” ?
DID YOU EVER HEAR THAT SAYING; “IF” IS THE BIGGEST WORD IN THE
DICTIONARY ?
WHY, BECAUSE IT OPENS THE DOORS TO POSSIBILITIES. IT GETS US
THINKING AND KEEPS US IN THE SEARCH. IT KEEPS US ASKING UNTIL
WE KNOW.
IF ARCHBISHOP “USSHER” WAS CORRECT AND IF “FLOYD NOLEN
JONES” IS CORRECT THEN “JESUS CHRIST” WAS BORN IN “4 B.C.”
BECAUSE OF AN ERROR IN THE CALENDAR CALCULATION MADE BY AN
ABBOT NAMED “DIONYSIUS EXIGUUS THE LITTLE” COMMISSIONED BY
POPE JOHN I. THE YEAR OF THE BIRTH OF “JESUS” WAS ESTABLISHED
FOR OUR MODERN CALENDARS IN “525 A.D.” BASED ON THIS WORK.
MOST CHRONOLOGISTS DECLARE THIS MONK MADE AN ERROR OF “3-
4” YEARS.
SO, LET’S PLAY ALONG AND SAY THAT OUR “DATES” ARE WRONG, AND
LET’S CALCULATE THE REAL YEAR OF OUR LORD, “ANNO DOMINI –
A.D.”, BASED ON THE DATE OF HIS BIRTH BEING “4 B.C.” USING OUR
CURRENT DATES.
“4 B.C.” = BIRTH OF “JESUS”
“2009 A.D.” = NOW; TODAY IS “11-18-2009”
BASED ON THIS:
“9 A.D.” = “JESUS APPEARS IN TEMPLE @ PASSOVER BEING “12 YEARS
OLD
(LUKE 2:41-52)
“9 A.D.” = “12” FOR “JESUS”
CALCULATION: “9 A.D. + 4 B.C.” = “13 A.D.”; “13” – 1 = “12 A.D.”; THERE
IS NO “0” YEAR .
BUT WHAT YEAR IS IT REALLY FROM THE BIRTH OF “JESUS” RIGHT
NOW?
“2009 A.D.” + 4 B.C.” = “2013 A.D.”; “2013” – 1 = “2012 A.D.”; THERE IS NO
“0” YEAR.
FRIENDS IS IT REALLY “2012 A.D.”, RIGHT NOW ?
NOW THAT SHOULD HAVE OUR INTEREST !!!!!!!
WE ARE EXACTLY “2 DAYS = 2000 YEARS” AFTER “JESUS” CAME TO
THE TEMPLE AS A “12” YEAR OLD.
“9-24-5770 (6010) = “12-11-2012 A.D.” = “HANUKKAH” BEGINS ON
“FRIDAY” EVENING.
“9-24/25 – 5770 (6010) = MIDNIGHT “12-11/12-2012 A.D.” = “HANUKKAH”
FRI./SAT.
“9-24” = HAGGAI 2:18-23
IS THE RAPTURE AT “MIDNIGHT” = “12:00 A.M.” AS “12-12-12” BEGINS ?
“JESUS” WAS “12” IN “9 A.D.” ON THE CURRENT CALENDAR.
SO IT WOULD BE “2012 A.D.” IN “2009 A.D.” OR RIGHT NOW.
THE CROP CIRCLE BY “KELLY HERMAN” WHICH “PAUL WILSON”
CORRECTED SEEMED TO SET FORTH A DATE OF “12-12”.
COULD THE RAPTURE BE A “12-12-12-12”?
“12” = PERFECT GOVERNMENT
“12” = NO. OF CONSTELLATIONS; “MAZZAROTH” = “12 SIGNS” (JOB
38:32)
“12” = NO. OF TRIBES
“12” = NO. OF APOSTLES
“12” = HOURS IN EVENING OR “NIGHT”
“12” = HOURS IN MORNING OR “DAY”
“12” = GENESIS “12”; ABRAHAM COMES TO PROMISED LAND
“12” = EXODUS “12”; ISRAEL LEAVES EGYPT FOR THE PROMISED LAND
“12” = HEBREWS “12”; THE CHURCH GOES TO MOUNT SION @ THE
SOUND OF “JESUS”
VOICE
“12” = REVELATION “12”; THE “MANCHILD” CAUGHT UP TO GOD AND &
HIS THRONE.
IN “GENESIS 1 & 2” THE PERFECT GOVERNMENT IS WHEN THE
“WOMAN” IS FINISHED AND BROUGHT TO HER “ADAM”, THEN THEY ARE
NAKED AND NOT ASHAMED (THERE IS NO SHAME, WHERE THERE IS NO
SIN) AND “GOD” GIVES THEM “PERFECT DOMINION” IN THE “PERFECT
GOVERNMENT” OF PARADISE.
THE “12’S” ARE FULFILLED WHEN THE “CHURCH” IS BROUGHT TO
“JESUS CHRIST” AND THEY ARE GIVEN “DOMINION”.
“THE CHURCH” IS A “GENTILE BRIDE”, LIKE JOSEPH’S WIFE, LIKE
MOSES’ WIFE, LIKE BOAZ’S WIFE RUTH, ETC..
“12-12-12-12” = A “GENTILE DATE”
ONE LAST THING; USING THIS DATE CORRECTION MY DAD’S DEATH
WOULD HAVE EXACTLY PROPHESIED THE “RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH”
AS FOLLOWS:
“12-12-06” = “12-12-09” REALLY !!!! EXACTLY “3” YRS. LATER; THE
RESURRECTION NO.
THE YEARS ARE “6” AND “9”
HE WAS “69”
PISCES = “69” IN SYMBOLIC FORM
CHURCH AGE = “69”; CLOCK STOPPED AT “69TH” WEEK OF DANIEL’S
PROPHECY FOR
THE ENTIRE CHURCH AGE.
“6” AND “9” = 180º ROTATION
“GEMINI” AND “SAGITTARIUS” = 180° ROTATION IN THE HEAVENS.
“PENTECOST” AND “HANUKKAH” = 180º ROTATION IN THE FEASTS.
“69” = PICTURE OF DEATH AND RESURRECTION; HEAD BELOW, THEN
HEAD ABOVE
WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THOSE “12’S” ?
REMEMBER THE SCRIPTURE WHICH MATCHED THE FIRST DAY OF THE
“OLD GENTILE YEAR” BEGINNING “MARCH 1”, 2009 = ISAIAH 19; VERSE
19, 20 = THE GREAT PYRAMID OR PILLAR – THE WITNESS FOR THIS
YEAR
THE SCRIPTURE MATCHING THE FIRST DAY OF THE “JEWISH
CALENDAR” ON “9-19-09” – THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS IS “MICAH 7”;
ISRAEL HAS MISSED THE FIRSTRIPE FRUIT AND IS IN THE
“TRIBULATION. WE WILL MENTION IN A FUTURE POST, THE LORD
WILLING.
ISAIAH 19 = SHOULD BE AN OVERALL THEME FROM: “3-1-2009 to 3-1-
2010”
MICAH 7 = SHOULD BE AND OVERALL THEME FROM: “9-19-09 to 9-9-10”;
AS WELL
AS THE ENTIRE TRIBULATION.
BUT I BELIEVE, FOR NOW AT LEAST, THAT THE PRESENT “12-12-12-12”
ON “DECEMBER 12, 2009” IS THE RIGHT MATCH TO THE SIGNS IN THE
HEAVENS, THE FEAST OF HANUKKAH, MY FATHER’S DEATH, AND THE
OTHERS LISTED IN THE LAST POST.
GOD BLESS, YOURS IN CHRIST, JOSEPH M. BLACKMON

Description of Book:
The Return of Jesus My King 2016 (Second
Coming)
(Less 2300 Days of shortened Tribulation, per
Book of Daniel, takes us to somewhere in 2010 for
Disappearance of Church, Believers, followed by
the Tribulation Period forecast in the Book of
Revelation)
Does the Bible set a date for Christ's Return?
Join Mathematician turned Minister Roger F. LaRose (MS,
Physics) for a unique and fascinating look at the timeline for
Bible Prophecy.
This website features the last work of Roger F. LaRose. The final
chapter was written in November, 1997 while Roger was on the
way to visit his ailing mother. In a strange twist of events
Roger’s mother recovered but Roger passed away suddenly, but
not penning the last chapters to this amazing work. The
dramatic events of the next few weeks left behind a work that
was hidden - until now.
This website tells the full story of this amazing work. It predicts, in over
200 pages of Bible formulas and mathematics, that the Hebrew Year 5770
(2009-2010), will be the start of the 7-Year Tribulation Period forecast in
the Book of Revelation, and the Book of Daniel in the Old Testament.
WORLD WAR III WILL LIKELY COMMENCE SOON (WITHIN THE
COMING YEAR): UPDATE FROM NOV-09
-THE ISRAELIS WILL NEVER ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN:
Russia 'will' deliver S-300 to Iran in 2 months
Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:27:53 GMT
Font size :
Russian S-300 missile system
Russia has ensured that it will honor a deal providing Iran
with the S-300 sophisticated anti-aircraft system, Tehran's
envoy to Moscow says.
Mohammad-Reza Sajjadi on Friday rejected reports that
Russia had pulled out of the deal due to a delay in the
delivery of the system to Iran.
"We had heard reports that Russia would not deliver these
systems to Iran, but we asked the Russian side and they
denied it," he told reporters in Moscow.
"The delivery deadline has already passed, but the Russian
side has cited technical problems which it said it was
working on to fix," Sajjadi added. "We feel that this
question will be resolved within one to two months."
He said neither Iran nor Russia planned to "go back" on the
contract, which he said was "profitable" for both sides.
Russia's procrastination over the delivery of the advanced
system to Iran has drawn harsh criticism from officials in
Tehran.
Earlier this month, Chief of Staff of Iran's Joint Armed
Forces Hassan Firouzabadi questioned Moscow's motivation
for the delay. He said under a contract signed between the
two countries, the Russian government was expected to
supply Iran with the system aimed at boosting the country's
defensive capabilities.
"The delivery is more than six months overdue," the top
official said, urging Russia to expedite the process of
delivery.
Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi also said that Russia had a
"contractual obligation" to provide Iran with the system.
"We have made a deal with the Kremlin to buy S-300 defense
missiles," he said, referring to a contract signed between
Tehran and Moscow in 2007.
"We don't think Russian officials would want to be seen in
the world as contract violators," he added.
Iran has been trying to obtain the sophisticated defense
system to improve its deterrence power in reaction to
Israeli war rhetoric.
According to Western experts, the S-300 missile defense
system would shield Iranian nuclear sites against any
Israeli airstrike.
The S-300 system, which can track targets and fire at
aircraft 120 km (75 miles) away, features high jamming
immunity and is able to simultaneously engage up to 100
targets.

NOTE: Discussion ABOUT PRECESSION OF THE EQUINOXES – VERY
IMPORTANT AS THIS CAN ADVANCE EACH DATE BELOW BY
APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS:
Each Hebrew calendar month begins at a new moon. Each new moon on
average occurs every 29.530588 days. Counting 12 months per year the feasts
quickly become out of sync with the solar year and the grain and fruit harvests
which play a part in the various feasts, (Exo. 23:16). The proper way to
determine the beginning of the New Year has been the subject of much debate.
Should one count from when the barley is full in the head, (abib, i.e. Exo.
23:15)? Should one count just like the standardized Hebrew calendar based on
adjusting to the solar calendar (which is 365.242199 days per year), starting
with the spring equinox? Or should one count adjusted to the stars in the sky as
they were when the calendar began, (Exo. 1:14)?
The stars in the sky could be said to be from the perspective of the Universe.
Instead of determining when the sun at noon passes the equator, known as the
spring equinox, for the start of the new year as aligned with the next new moon,
start the year based on where the constellations are again in the same place in
the sky as they were when Jesus was BORN.
The universe-based cycle difference with the sun is observed as the phenomena
known as the precession of the equinoxes – GOD’S CALENDAR.

Genaro doesn't know much about 'end times' stuff or the Rapture, other than

unfortunately our pastor doesn't talk about these things.
Well, one day in August (2009) Genaro came to work really excited. He told
Jake that he had been asleep in his bed when a really bright white being
appeared in his room and he heard a voice say, "Prepare yourself; Jesus

It is mind-boggling to think that our generation alone is uniquely standing
on the precipice of time and where no generation has ever stood. We are
living in the days spoken of by the ancient prophets.
These prophets spoke of the Israelites being gathered back into their own
land, in passages such as Ezekiel 37:21:
This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I will take the Israelites out of the
nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and
bring them back into their own land.
This began in 1948. The “dry bones” of Ezekiel 37 have come alive.
As also prophesied, we are seeing the world turn against Israel.
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I
will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations” (Zechariah
12:3).
The catalyst for this is oil, or petro-dollars, causing the world to sell out
tiny, democratic Israel to despotic Muslim nations for purposes of greed.
These signs are historically unprecedented. Only this generation has seen
them. But there are many other biblical signs, such as: increased violence
worldwide (as in the days of Noah), increased apostasy, increased cults and
false religions and false prophets, increased natural disasters such as
frequency of earthquakes, and more.
For these and many other reasons, is it any wonder that millions believe
the return of Christ is so near? Polls show that even non-believers think
the world is at such a point. This is the most exciting time in all history to
be alive!
But When is He Coming?
Just the question -- when? -- causes some Christians to cringe, protest, or
even scoff! They quickly point out that Jesus said: But of that day and
hour knoweth no man (Matthew 24:36 KJV).
Some believers criticize other believers who are seeking God’s clues, either
from the Scriptures or by personal revelation. It is interesting that it was
apparently by personal revelation, not Scripture, that many people knew
the exact day of Elijah's rapture (2 Kings 2)! Are there types in the Old
Testament? Do God’s principles repeat themselves?
Some claim we should focus only on the Great Commission and evangelism
and not be concerned when the Lord will return. However, the Bible
repeatedly tells us to “watch” for the signs, so not doing so would be
disobedient. Also, those who are watching and expecting Jesus’ soon
return are probably the most zealous group of witnesses for the gospel
among all Christians.
The doubters may mention Paul's words that the day of the Lord will come
like "a thief in the night" (1 Thessalonians 5:2). But many believers have
so misunderstood these verses that they are oblivious to the times, not
watching for the Lord as He commanded, and are often absorbed by the
cares of this world and their own agendas.
As to Matthew 24:36, some scholars point out that Jesus' words here are in
the present tense, addressed to His hearers at the time, and not to those
alive at the end of the age when Daniel's vision would be unsealed (Daniel
12:9). This would be similar to Matthew 16:20:
Then he warned His disciples not to tell anyone that He was the Christ.
As evidence, many other Scriptures reveal to us that God will reveal at
least the approximate time. (Even if the "day and hour" restriction is
literally valid today, it may be because the Earth is in 24 time zones and
always in two different days.)
Jesus also said, “but my Father only” knows, which pins the statement to
His hearers at the time, when Jesus was still on the earth, because surely
there are now no secrets in the Trinity between the Father and the
glorified Son, who are truly One.
Also, in context, He seems to be speaking of heaven and earth passing
away (v. 35), not other end-time events. In addition, Jesus said,
If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou
shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee (Revelation 3:3).
He is obviously saying that to the one who watches, He will not come as a
thief and that person will know the hour! (Hour -- Greek hora -- Strong’s
5610; various meanings, including, “any definite time, point of time,
moment.”
God’s Promises of Revelation
It is clear that Jesus will not come as a "thief in the night" for watchful
believers, because in the very same passage, verse 4, Paul tells us,
But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you
like a thief.
If we are trusting in Christ and looking for His coming, Paul said that even
the very day does not have to surprise us!
Also, Jesus exhorted, "If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on
thee as a thief" (Revelation 3:3, KJV), obviously saying He will come as a
thief only to those not watching! It is obvious that for those watching, He
will NOT come as a thief.
Jesus rebuked those who did not understand the signs of the times in His
day:
O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky, but can ye not discern
the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3).
Of the end of the age, Jesus said,
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your
heads; for your redemption draweth nigh (Luke 21:28).
He said we would know when it is near!
God said, "Surely the sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing it to
His servants the prophets" (Amos 3:7, NIV). God said "nothing," and He
did not exclude Christ's return. I take Him at His word.
God not only knows the end from the beginning, He tells us that He makes
it known!
I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still
to come. (Isaiah 46:10).
He has already made it known! I personally believe it has been hidden in
His Word all along, to be unlocked in His timing. There is nothing wrong
with seeking! No doubt, it pleases God.
God said,
I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I
shewed it thee (Isaiah 48:5, KJV).
Jesus said the Holy Spirit "will teach you all things" (John 14:26). He said
"all things." Did Jesus make a mistake, forgetting to exclude when He will
return? I don't think so.
Friends confide in one another. Abraham was called God’s “friend”
(Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23).
And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do
(Genesis 18:17).
Now, because of Jesus’ atonement, we are called friends of God:
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s
business. Instead, I have called you friends (Jesus, John 15:15).
The Bible also says that Jesus was crucified so that the blessing of
Abraham, part of which was friendship with God, would come upon the
Gentiles -- us (Galatians 3:14).
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says:
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there
is nothing new under the sun (NIV).
Many Bible students believe that ancient events and dating in the Bible are
shadows and clues that foretell the coming of the Lord, even the timing. An
example is the six days of creation, seen as 6,000 years of man’s dominion
over the earth, before the return of the Lord and the seventh, or Sabbath
Millennium of peace, with Christ ruling in Jerusalem. According to
scholars, we are now at the end of 6,000 years since Adam.
There are other such passages. God clearly promised that we would know
at least approximately when Christ will return, and even "the day" will
not surprise us, as the Holy Spirit reveals through Paul!
In addition, there is ample precedent for God revealing specific times in
advance.

He gave Noah advance notice of when the flood would be (Genesis 6,7).

He told Abraham how long the Israelites would be in Egypt (Genesis
15:13).

As mentioned, He revealed to many the very day of Elijah's rapture (2
Kings 2).

He told Jeremiah how long the Babylonian exile would be (Jeremiah
29:10).

He told Daniel exactly when Messiah would come the first time (Daniel
9:25-26).
Some, including the brilliant Sir Isaac Newton, believe this same passage
holds the key to the timing of His return.
There is evidence that the Bible reveals the exact number of years of "the
times of the Gentiles" and the exact span of time to Israel's rebirth in 1948
and the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967.
Obviously, leaving us clueless now would violate God's own established
pattern as revealed in His Word!
Also obviously, we are not left clueless. There are many signs. Let us
remain watchful and ready, and be found doing the Master’s work.
Do you need hope for the future? Find peace with God.

"2010"
WELCOME TO
2 0 1 0
By Pastor F. M. Riley
January 13, 2010

“Hear this, all ye peoples; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world:
both low and high, rich and poor, together.
My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall
be of understanding.
I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark [hidden] saying
upon the harp.”
Psalm 49:1-4
Introduction
The above text from Psalm 49 correlates with 1949 following Israel’s War
of Independence. The little band of Jews in Israel [only 350,000 Jews
in Israel at that time], by the grace and mercy of God, had defeated the armies
of their Arab enemies [a 100 million Arabs] and established themselves as a
nation again among the nations of the earth. Praise the Lord!
From that time forth the Lord in His grace and mercy began unveiling the
hidden details of His prophetic Word for the end-time. This “progressive
revelation” has been an on going process through these past 60 years. “60” is
the Bible number associated with “pride; esp. the pride of the Gentiles.”
Now humanity has come to the beginning of the 61st year since Israel won
its War of Independence. THIS IS THE YEAR that the Lord will renew His
Covenant with Israel and the whole Gentile world will begin to collapse in
humiliation and shame, and will be brought to total defeat by the God of Israel
over the next 7 years.
Please read this study carefully, and let the truths set forth here soak in.
The Sanhedrin
For many years now the religious Jews have been making preparation to
reestablish their ancient covenant relationship with the God of Israel. I don’t
remember the exact date or year, but several years ago the Jews began building
a special building for the Sanhedrin Court, the ancient council of “the 70
elders.” This council is referred to repeatedly in the Book of Acts. Just a few
years ago the Sanhedrin became a reality again when 70 prominent Jewish men
in Israel were selected to occupy the 70 seats in their new building and preside
over all spiritual matters [and…??] in the nation of Israel.
The Preparation
Under the leadership of the Sanhedrin and the Rabbis, every detail of the
ancient Levitical priesthood has been examined and preparation has been made
to reestablish the priesthood. Garments have been made for the priests. The
fixtures, curtains, and veils to go into a rebuilt Temple have been prepared. A
golden Menorah has been cast and is ready. The required tables, plates, pots,
etc. have been prepared. The Jewish Rabbis in Israel even claim that they
know the location of the sacred Ark of the Covenant and will retrieve it at the
proper time. Years have been spent in searching out descendants of the ancient
tribe of Levi from among Jews all over the world. Enough Jews have been
found who are believed to be Levites that at least a tentative priesthood is
ready. These potential priests have been repeatedly drilled in and have
practiced every detail of how they should dress, how they should approach,
what they should do, how they should speak, and what they should say, as they
come before the sacred altar and offer the sacrifices required by God’s Law
before the God of Israel.
Folks, everything is ready and waiting for the rebuilding of the Jewish
Temple.
The Altar
A few months ago in 2009 the Sanhedrin and the Jewish Rabbinate
commissioned the rebuilding of a sacred altar for the offering up to God of the
animal sacrifices required by the Law of God. Those involved in preparing this
altar have diligently followed the instructions for its preparation explicitly set
forth in God’s Word, Deuteronomy 27:4-10. It is an altar of unhewn stone
upon which no instrument of iron was used in erecting it. This altar is now
finished, has been consecrated by the ancient ceremonial laws laid down in the
Torah, and is ready for use. Will they use it? I’m so glad you asked…..
The Animal Offerings
As I write I have a news release on my desk right before my eyes which I
received yesterday sent directly from KorbanPesach.org. This is a committee
of the Sanhedrin Initiative in Jerusalem, Israel. I am emphasizing this to
impress upon my readers that the info contained in this news release is not an
idle rumor or some man’s guess or opinion. This information is for real, and
came straight from the Sanhedrin Court in Jerusalem which has been
reestablished in recent years to once again deal with questions of Jewish
religious worship in their covenant relationship to the God of Israel.
The news release states that on Passover THIS YEAR the religious Jews
will seek to reestablish their ancient covenant relationship with the God of
Israel by offering the lambs required by the Law of God as Passover sacrifices
on the rebuilt altar in Jerusalem. The religious Jews of the Sanhedrin and
others which are spearheading this movement are inviting Jews from all over
the world to come to Jerusalem this year and observe the Passover by offering a
lamb on the Jewish altar to the God of Israel. They are requesting that every
Jew in the world who wants to take part in this sacrificial Passover observance
send seven shekels per person in order to buy enough lambs for every person to
be able to partake of the meat of their Passover lamb as expressly commanded
in Exodus 12.
The news release even acknowledges their understanding that such animal
sacrifices in the modern world today will be regarded as “controversial” by
most people and religions, yet they are calling upon the Jewish people
throughout the world to be “courageous” enough to press forward towards their
“redemption” as a people and a nation by offering the sacrifices required in the
Law of God.
I will be glad to forward a copy of this news release to any of my readers,
or you can find it for yourself by going

Objections Answered
I am quite sure that some “professing Christians” will object that the Jews
can’t do this for the Temple has not been rebuilt and the Jews aren’t even
allowed to pray and worship on the Temple Mount. I am deliberately bringing
up this objection because I anticipate it coming from some “Christian” who
doesn’t know near as much about God’s Word as they think they know.
I would remind our readers that there was no Temple in existence during the
first 400 years after the Israelites came into “the promised land.” Yet the Old
Testament Scriptures make it very plain that the Jewish people themselves built
altars to the Lord in different parts of the holy land and offered sacrifices to the
God of Israel AND HE ACCEPTED THEM. Look up the Scriptures for
yourself. Hello! Is light beginning to break through?
This Passover sacrifice will be carried out on the rebuilt altar which will be
located in the city of Jerusalem in near proximity to the Temple mount. If I
read the Old Testament Scriptures correctly it could just as easily be carried out
at Shechem, at Gibeah, at Bethel, at Beer-Sheba, or at any one of a half dozen
others places in the land of Israel where the patriarchs of Israel built altars and
sacrificed to the Lord in ancient times and the Lord will still accept it if it is
coming from Jews whose hearts are truly seeking the redemption of Israel. The
Lord still looks on the heart! 1 Samuel 16:7 and Jeremiah 17:9-10.
The Prophetic Significance
It is clearly prophesied in God’s inspired Word that the Jews will once again
offer animal sacrifices in the end of this age. See Daniel 9:27 and many other
prophetic Scriptures. But the prophetic Scriptures are also quite clear that these
animal sacrifices will only be resumed at the time this present “dispensation of
grace” is ending and the Lord renews His covenant with Israel as the terrible
Tribulation begins. The prophetic Scriptures are also quite plain that the Lord
will not renew His covenant with Israel until the Gentile church or bride of
Christ is removed from this present evil world by the rapture of God’s
people. Hello! Are you listening?
Folks if the Lord permits these animal sacrifices to resume in Israel on this
coming Passover, then this means that the rapture of God’s people should occur
on, before, or during the Passover observance THIS YEAR! Are you
listening? God’s people [true believers] are going “home” THIS YEAR!
Praise God! Hallelujah! Glory to God! Praise to the Lord Jesus Christ!
This Year…2010
Write down this year, 2010, as 2 – 0 – 1 – 0. Now put a slash mark through
the zeros. What you now have left is the 2 and the 1, or in other words
21. “21” is the Bible number for “the exceeding sinfulness of sin; the fullness
of sin; the covering or completion of sin.” This number also points to the 21
judgments of the Tribulation. It is during the coming Tribulation when sin is
going to be glaringly revealed to all of humanity as the wicked rebellion against
Almighty God that it really is, and which the Lord is going to bring to an end
by the total destruction of the incorrigible wicked.
“21” is a composite number composed of the numbers 10 and 11. “10” is
the Bible number for “Law,” which all of Adam’s descendants have
transgressed and violated, 1 John 3:4; Romans 3:23. “11” is the Bible
number for” judgment.” The 21 judgments will be poured out during the 7
years of the Tribulation to bring to completion God’s wrath and vengeance
against the Christ rejecting incorrigible wicked.
Is it just “coincidence” that the number of this year, 2010, works out this
way? I think not! What has been presented ought to be sufficient evidence of
the prophetic significance of this year, but there is still more…..
In the Rapture 88 Movement in 1988 thousands of God’s people all over the
world were expecting the rapture to occur on Rosh HaShanah that year. It
didn’t! But I want to point out to our readers that from Rosh HaShanah, 1988
to Rosh HaShanah, 2009 was a period of 21 years. Count them for
yourself! We have already examined the Biblical meaning of the number, 21.
On Rosh HaShanah, 2009, mankind entered the 22nd year since Rosh
HaShanah, 1988. Now just look at all the world events which are swiftly
moving towards a climax all around us day by day. “22” is the Bible number
which means “to see; to discern; to enlighten; to understand.” It ought to be
obvious that 2010, this 22nd year, is the year that true New Testament believers
are going to be raptured to glory to meet our Lord and Savior, Jesus
Christ. 2010 is the year that the Lord is going to renew His covenant
relationship with Israel through saving, sealing, and sending a “remnant” of
Jewish believers [the 144,000] to preach Jesus Christ to the lost world and to
call unbelieving Israel to repentance before God. Praise the Lord!
But that still isn’t all…..
Do you recall that the Lord explicitly states in Isaiah 46:9-11 that He
declares “the end from the beginning”? Now go look at Psalm 110, which
correlates with 2010. It is only seven verses long, corresponding with the
seven year Tribulation. It is obvious from reading this Psalm that the
Tribulation has begun, for the very language used in the Psalm is descriptive of
the Tribulation. It is also obvious that the end of the Tribulation; that is, how
the Lord is going to bring it to an end, is described in the last three verses of
the Psalm. Just as in many other places in God’s Word, the Lord inspired the
Psalmist David to “declare the end from the beginning” in
this Psalm. Wow! How great and gracious is our God!
Conclusion
It ought to be obvious to every true believer that the things mentioned in this
study are not just “coincidence.” The end of this present dispensation is swiftly
approaching. New Testament believers should now be “Looking for that
blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior
Jesus Christ” day by day and even hour by hour. The rapture of God’s people
is much closer than some want to believe.
Every reader can either draw near to the Lord and let His Holy Spirit fill
your heart and mind with His Word and permeate your very soul, or…..you can
ignore all the warnings, mock the messengers and the message, and reap in
tears of sorrow and shame.
If you are truly saved you WILL be raptured to glory when the Lord comes
to deliver His people “out of this present evil world,” Galatians 1:4, whether
you believe it or not. The Lord invested His blood in you, and He has no
intention of losing His investment.
On the other hand, if you are still lost in sin then there is no better time to
seek the Lord as your own personal Savior than RIGHT NOW. Read 2
Corinthians 6:2, Hebrews 2:2-3, John 14:6, Acts 16:31, and Romans 10:8-
13.
I urge any reader who needs spiritual help to contact me at once. I will
study with you, pray with you, and do whatever I can to help you find
salvation, assurance, and peace in Christ. May God grant His grace to every
reader is my prayer.

"THE RAPTURE COULD OCCUR ON THE 25th OF
DECEMBER!!!"
(REMEMBER ALSO: Eastern Greek Orthodox Churches celebrate
Christmas on January 7, the date on the Gregorian calendar which corresponds to
25 December on the Julian Calendar)
Hi Doves,
Could it really be true?
That the Lord has hidden the Day of the Rapture in plain sight?
Maybe this is why the Lord said,
"Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do
not expect." (Luke 12:40)
I am beginning to understand that when the Lord tells us to be ready.
He is not referring to the rapture itself.
He is referring to us being in that spiritual state that enables us to receive the
revelation that He will one Day return for all those who love Him.
It's this healthy spiritual condition that enables us to be in the World and not
think like everyone else in the World.
It's this healthy spiritual condition that moves us to study the Word looking for
clues on when the rapture will occur.
Even though many predicted days on which we expected the rapture to occur
have come and gone, we just keep on looking.
What's really happening is that our minds are being prepared.
So that when He finally reveals the Day of the rapture to us, we won't find it
too difficult to accept the revelation.
At that time, the unexpected Date of the rapture, will be received with joy by
all those who love Him.
I believe that time has arrived.
I'm just going to include once again 4 revelations that appear to indicate that
the rapture could occur on Christmas Day.
The Lord revealed to Diane Walker:
"Concerning my fulfillment of the feasts of Israel you have discerned well
however, there is one thing my people have missed.
Tell them this: When I came the first time, whom did I come for?
I came for my chosen people, the children of Israel.
When I come for the rapture, for whom will I come?
I will come for the elect, the church.
If my first coming for the children of Israel fulfilled the feasts of Israel,
shouldn't my coming to rapture the church, the true Christians, fulfill the
Christian feast?"
Peg Fenn had a dream in 2000, 7 Years after her husband went home to be with
the Lord.
It appears that her husband is expecting her to be with him on a Christmas
Day.
Peg Fenn writes:
"Walking up a very steep hill. The sky is very blue, no sun but it is very
bright.
As I reached the top of the hill. There is a brick fronted greenhouse.
Its small panes are steamed up and as I approached to look inside. I
could see rows and rows of reds, whites and yellows.
All Christmas plants whose leaves were a beautiful shiny
waxy green.
I could see Poinsettias in all colors, Christmas cactuses, roses, lilies
and begonias, amaryllis and hyacinths.
The steam was coming from an overhead steamer in the nursery
spraying the plants with a steady stream and helping to keep them
fresh.
The small droplets on these windows and on the plants were all covered
in rainbow colors.
A Christmas greenhouse!!
As I walked around to the side of it (I remember my husband saying
before he died that he would build me one but never did.)
There was a door and I realized that this really was a house with an
attached greenhouse.
The door opened and my husband was standing there smiling.
He was very young, looked to be around 33 or 34 and said,
"This is the greenhouse and house I promised you".
In the Year 2007, Becki had the following dream,
She writes,
"I would like to tell you all about a dream that I had in 2007.
It may just be only a dream, but it seemed so real to me.
In March of 2007 my sister past away. Oh, how I missed her so much.
We were very close. We saw each other almost everyday or we would
talk on the phone. She was 40 when she passed away.
After she died, I had prayed and prayed to the Lord to please let me
have a dream about her because I missed her so much. After a couple
of months I got my dream.
In my dream I was so happy to see her. We were walking down a road
and she wanted to show me a store. The name of the store was
"Temple Mount Gift Shop". Inside the store were thousands of bicycles.
They were everywhere. You could hardly move around the shop for all
the bicycles. They were even hanging from the ceiling. I ask her why are
there so many bicycles, and she told me that there would be lots and
lots of kids here for Christmas.
Well, I just knew that the rapture was going to be Christmas of 2007. I
have wondered if maybe the Lord was letting me know the season that
the rapture would happen. After pondering about this dream, she didn't
say this Christmas (2007) she just said Christmas.
This might have been just a dream. But, it is a dream that I will never
forget. It was so vivid and in color. I usually don't dream or don't
remember my dreams. I haven't had a dream about her since.
Just wanted to share it with you all."
On the 14th of October 2009, Patty RP posted the following,
"Last night I had my first ever Rapture dream. I dreamed that I was raptured at
night, during Christmas. It was pitch black outside with the stars shining
brightly.
Somehow the molecules of my body were rearranged (changed in the twinkling
of an eye) and I literally flew through the walls of my house. I could not feel
the walls, but I could feel great joy knowing where I was going.
I looked down and I could see it was Christmas time as the houses were
decorated with lights and I saw lighted candy canes on lawns. I kept going up,
up...and I didn't feel any cold whatsoever even though it was winter. There was
no time to put on a heavy coat and it was not needed anyway. Above me were
the lights of the stars and below me were the lights of the decorated houses.
The only thing wrong with my dream is that it seemed to last so short a time. I
would have loved to have dreamed this for hours, but it seemed only a minute.
I have had other fantastical dreams like flying, running on a lake, like many of
you have...but this one was the first ever dream of being raptured even though I
have obviously been thinking about that subject for quite a while. Also, it was
the first ever dream I have had of Christmas, in my life. I certainly experienced
lots of Christmases, but don't recall ever dreaming of it...
When I woke up this morning, the first thing I said to myself was: I have to tell
the Doves!"

RAPTURE DREAM...Princess
Princess (12 Dec 2007)
"RECENT RAPTURE DREAM"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
Hello all. I wanted to share a rapture dream I
had last week on Dec 5.
In my dream I was in a building (like a bank or
office building) that had glass windows all
around. I saw a calendar on a desk which
said Dec 5 (Note: I'm not trying to set a date -
Dec. 5 is already passed but that's the date I
saw in my dream; however, it is possible that
the dream date could indicate that we're in
the "season" of the soon rapture. I don't
know for sure.)
It was bright and sunny outside but suddenly
it started to snow. Some of the snow was in
the form of big clumps - almost like little
clouds. Many of us in the building went to the
windows to observe the delightful new
snowfall. Then, very quickly, there was a mild
earthquake. (I live in LA so we're used to
tremors - not so used to snow...). I stepped
away from the window to hold onto a nearby
desk. We all paused to look around to see if
there would be a bigger tremor.
But then, there was a loud sound - perhaps a
trumpet or maybe even more than one type of
sound - I don't recall exactly. I got excited
and ran back to the window and looked up.
There was some type of unusual sign in the
clouds and I knew it was the return of the
Lord. I squealed "YES!" and lifted my arms. I
felt myself as I was raised off the earth and
felt my body effortlessly pass through the
building structure. What a glorious and
exhilarating feeling it was! It felt so wonderful
to be rising in the air and feeling myself pass
through the air on my way to heaven. You
know how dreams are - I thought I was
actually being raptured...
However, I woke up before I actually got to
heaven or saw the Lord. I was bummed, but
that's okay - I know in real life I'll see Him
soon enough!
Hope this encourages someone as it did me!
Princess

GREAT RAIN...

DATE OF WORLD WAR 3...December 11th
The Lord speaks of Ezekiel 39:8.....
We know that Ezekiel 38 & 39 talks about the WAR OF GOG AND
MAGOG......
"Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day
whereof I have spoken."
So, the Lord is clearly telling us that "THIS DAY" (WAR OF GOG AND
MAGOG) is a day that is has already spoken of!!!
BUT WHERE???
Haggai 2:20
"On the second time on the twenty-fourth day of the month (THE DAY
WHERE GOD SAID HE SPOKE OF IN EZEKIEL 39:8), in the second year of
Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Haggai:"
"The word of the LORD came to Haggai a second time on the twenty-fourth
day of the month: "Tell Zerubbabel governor of Judah that I will shake the
heavens and the earth. I will overturn royal thrones and shatter the power
of the foreign kingdoms. I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses
and their riders will fall, each by the sword of his brother."
FOCUS ON:
"I will overthrow chariots and their drivers; horses and their riders will fall,
each by the sword of his brother." (THIS IS WHAT THE LORD SAID IN
HAGGAI 2:20)
Now, look what the Lord said in Ezekiel 39: 4-5
"On the mountains of Israel you will fall, you and all your troops and the
nations with you. I will give you as food to all kinds of carrion birds and to
the wild animals. 5 You will fall in the open field, for I have spoken, declares
the Sovereign LORD."
This event in Ezekiel 39: 4-5 is none other than the event that the Lord
spoke of in Haggai 2:20...The LANGUAGE IS UNCANNY....THE DAY WHERE
HE HAS SPOKEN OF.....IN HAGGAI 2:20!!!!!!!!!
This day is no other than the day of the 24th day of CHISLEU which falls in
December every year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The day that God will magnify himself above the nations will be CHISLUE
24th of a certain year!!
The prophet Haggai declares: "The Word of the Lord came unto Haggai in
the four and twentieth day of the month [Chisleu], saying, Speak to
Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the
earth; and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms and I will destroy the
strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots,
and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come
down, every one by the sword of his brother" (Haggai 2:2022).
This description by Haggai, and the exact language of his prophecy, is
uncannily like the language of Ezekiel 38 and 39 that describes Russia's
defeat. The interesting point is that Haggai names the exact day of the year
on which this will occur. Since so many other prophecies have been so
precisely fulfilled to the day, there is a strong probability that this prophetic
event will also occur on its appointed anniversary date of the biblical
calendar. "Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the
day whereof I have spoken" (Ezekiel 39:8). God's appointment with Russia
is set; it will not be postponed.
All major events on God's calendar have appointed times! The war of Gog
and Magog also has an appointed time! That appointed time is the 24th day
of Chislue!!!!! Now you have to adjust that as JH did which sets it later than
the calendar date…but not much.
Grant Jeffrey is one the most respected prophetic scholars, speaker, and
author of many well-researched prophecy books. One of his most popular
books was published in 1988, entitled, “Armageddon: Appointment with
Destiny”. He has been teaching for years that we can know THE DAY of the
year of the Battle of Gog and Magog (World War III). He bases this teaching
on Haggai, Chapter 2, which seems to be the same battle as the Battle of
Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38 and 39. He does not tell us we can know the
year, only the DAY of the year.
When the Lord mentions the SAME DAY not once, not twice, but THREE
TIMES in one chapter, it is highly probable that it is an extremely significant
day. In Haggai, Chapter 2, in verse 10, in verse 18, and in verse 20, he
gives us the very SAME DAY. Again, not the year, but the DAY of the year.
THE DAY of the year mentioned 3 TIMES in Haggai, Chapter 2, is the 24th
day of Chisleu, which is on the eve of Hanukkah. Grant Jeffrey’s book,
“Armageddon: Appointment with Destiny”, Chapter 7, the final 3
paragraphs in this chapter of this excellent book:
“Although Scripture does not indicate the exact year in which this invasion
and defeat will occur, the prophet Haggai reveals that on the TWENTYFOURTH
DAY OF THE NINTH MONTH of the Jewish calendar (Chisleu), the
day before Hanukkah, God will deliver Israel as He did twice before on this
anniversary: (1) the defeat of the Syrian army and recapture of the Temple
in 165 B.C. and (2) the capture of Jerusalem from the Turks in A.D. 1917.
The prophet Haggai declares: “The Word of the Lord came unto Haggai in
THE FOUR AND TWENTIETH DAY OF THE MONTH (CHISLEU), saying,
Speak to Zerubbabell, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens
and the earth; and the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will
overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and
their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother”
(Haggai 2: 20-22)”
“This description and exact language is uncannily like that of Ezekiel 38
and 39, which describe Russia’s defeat. The interesting point is that it
names THE EXACT DAY of the year on which this will occur. Since so
many other prophecies have been so precisely fulfilled to the day, there is
a strong likelihood that this event will also occur on its appointed day.
“Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is THE DAY
whereof I have spoken” (Exekiel 39:8). God’s appointment with Russia is
set; it will be kept.”

The Rapture, Gog, and
Hanukkah Puzzle: Putting It All
Together
The title got your attention, right? Up front I want to say that I
understand that it's impossible to calculate the exact day and hour of
the Rapture. Jesus himself said (in Matthew 24:36) about the End
Times: "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
of heaven, but my Father only."
However there are some important considerations when speculating
about when the End Times, also known as the Tribulation or Great
Tribulation, may arrive. Christ admonished his disciples to watch for
his second coming at least twice (once in Matthew 24:42 "Watch
therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." And in
Matthew 25:13 "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the
hour wherein the Son of man cometh.")
Doing so may also be important for all Christians; In Revelation 3: 3,
Jesus warned the church at Sardis, "...If therefore thou shalt not watch,
I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I
will come upon thee." Christians are to hold fast to their salvation and
to watch, less they be unready for the return of the Lord.
Not knowing the hour of His return and watching for it may seem like
an impossible task. However once the Tribulation events start, it
becomes possible to determine when our Messiah actually returns to
rule the Earth by simply calculating the time frame outlined in Daniel
and the other prophets regarding the construction of the new Temple
in Jerusalem and the start of the reign of the Antichrist.
While we don't have the space to go into detail about this in this
article, studying the times set in Daniel and the other prophets as well
as the book of Revelation suggests that it should be possible to
calculate this date with some precision, using the 360-day Hebrew
calendar, once the Antichrist sets up his image in the new Temple in
Jerusalem. Once the ball is set into motion, the ability to calculate the
time and hour of various events will become possible for those aware
of Biblical prophecies.
What is it that we don't know the day or the hour of then?
It would seem what is unknown is the beginning of the Great
Tribulation itself, an event which many feel will be initiated by the
Rapture of the Church (the Rapture being the time when the dead in
Christ are raised and go -- along with the living Christians -- to
Heaven so they will be spared going through the Great Tribulation).
So, while it may not be possible to calculate the "day and the hour" of
the occurrence of the Rapture, it appears that a person might be able to
calculate the season in which it occurs with some accuracy. Jesus
appears to expect that those living near the beginning of the
Tribulation will be able to understand what is about to happen.
After Jesus had told his disciples about what the End of the Age
would be like, he added, "And when these things begin to come to
pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption
draweth near." (Luke 21:28). This suggests that those approaching the
End Times spoken of throughout the Bible would be aware of the
season, while not actually knowing the day and the hour. While
Biblical prophecy is designed to display the power and majesty of
God, it seems logical that it also serves the purpose of preparing God's
people for what lies ahead of them.
In Luke 12:37-38, he said, "Blessed are those servants, whom the lord
when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he
shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come
forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or
come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants."
This suggests that those who are watching for his return will be
rewarded for their vigilance.
MULTIPLE JIGSAW PROBLEM SOLVING
To find this season of the Rapture, it is necessary to exploit a
"Multiple Jigsaw Puzzle" system. What?
Well, that's perhaps the best way to describe it. Imagine that you have
a jigsaw puzzle with three- fourths of the pieces missing. You
assemble it, but the picture is far from complete. This is somewhat of
the picture you get from any one of the books of the prophets in the
Old Testament or even from the book of Revelation when it comes to
the End Times and especially in the case of the Rapture (which is only
hinted at, with the word "rapture" not even appearing in the Bible).
With all the parts missing in the puzzle, it's impossible to get a
complete picture even after all the parts you have are assembled. You
have an idea of what the picture is, but not all the details.
Suppose that instead of just one copy of the puzzle, you had four or
five jigsaw puzzles, all of the same scene. They all have parts missing,
but some have parts that the others do not have. Suddenly you're
presented with the possibility of taking the complete portions of one
puzzle and placing it together with the others to create one entire
picture. With careful comparison of parts that are common to all the
puzzles, you can slowly piece together one complete picture.
This same idea can be applied to the prophecies of the End Times. By
carefully comparing the pieces from each passage in the Bible to
determine which have common parts, it's possible to then figure which
are talking about a common event. Then these can be used as anchor
points to assemble a complete picture of what appears in one part of
the "puzzle" but not the others. Little by little, the prophesy puzzle can
be produced to create an idea of when the Rapture is likely to occur.
Here's what can be discovered using this technique.
PEACE AND SAFETY
First puzzle piece: The Rapture occurs when leaders of Israel as well
as the "man on the street" will be operating under the assumption that
"peace and safety" has come to the region. This is supported by 1
Thessalonians 5:3 "For when they shall say peace and safety then
sudden destruction shall come upon them as birth pains upon a woman
with child and they shall not escape."
The association of birth pains with the time of the Tribulation is clear
from what Jesus told his disciples. When Jesus' disciples asked what
would signal His return, He gave them several signs to watch for. He
also taught that the time immediately before His coming would be
known as the "beginning of sorrows" (Matthew 24:8); a literal
translation of "beginning of sorrows" into English would be the "onset
of labor pains." Jesus was saying the signs of His coming would start
out as mild pangs spaced widely apart like human labor and then
gradually become closer together and more intense, like the birth
process, until this period of suffering and judgment would culminate
in the coming of the Messiah.
It's logical that Paul would have been fully aware of this allusion that
Christ had given His disciples. Therefore, it seems likely that these
two passages are talking about the onset of the same event: The Great
Tribulation. Therefore, people believing they are about to enjoy peace
and safety is most likely one of the signs of the Great Tribulation.
If this is true, then the Rapture might be rapidly approaching since the
term "peace and safety" was being bandied about by the Israelis and
the press during the recent peace negotiations between the PLO and
Israel. Likewise Benjamin Netanyahu, when addressing the Kenesset
in the summer of 1996, made it clear that he was interested in making
peace with Israel's former enemies only if the cessation of hostilities
arrived with Israel's security interests intact.
GOG AND MAGOG
Another puzzle piece shows that another event preceding the Great
Tribulation is the Battle of Gog and Magog. This event is outlined in
Ezekiel 38:18- 22:
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall
come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my
fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I
spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the
land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven,
and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep
upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the
earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be
thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall
shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my
mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be
against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him with pestilence and with
blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon
the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and
great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will
be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know
that I am the LORD.
There are several important puzzle pieces in this passage that give us a
fuller picture of the Great Tribulation. First, there's reference to a great
earthquake or "shaking" at the presence of the Lord with mountains
being thrown down, etc., and a raining of pestilence on the Earth. This
same picture appears in Matthew 24, where Christ told his disciples,
"For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:
and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes in various
places. All these are the beginning of sorrows..." Thus it appears that
these two stories are one and the same, marking the beginning of the
Great Tribulation.
Now another piece of the puzzle becomes apparent: Ezekiel 38:18
tells us that this is also the same time when Gog comes against the
land of Israel. Thus it appears that this war marks the beginning of the
Great Tribulation. (It is important to note that this war is quite
different from the Battle of Armageddon, though the two events
mirror each other, with one occurring at the beginning of the Great
Tribulation, and the other marking its end.)
WHO ARE GOG AND MAGOG?
Gog and Magog appear a number of times in the Bible. In addition to
the above passage, these two are mentioned in Ezekiel 39:1, Ezekiel
39:11, and Revelation 20:8. However their first appearance in the
Bible is as actual, living historical individuals.
The first appearance of these two figures is in Genesis 10: 2-3. Here
we find the descendants of Noah's sons listed. The children of Japheth
are Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Mesech, and Tiras. The
Sons of Gomer are Ashkenas, Riphoth, and Togarmah. According to
Hebrew tradition (as well as hints in the Bible starting with verse 5 of
this chapter), it is assumed that these are the ancestors of those who
comprise the Gentile nations including the Chinese, Tartars, Greeks,
Persians, Germans, Muscovites, and other Sclavonian races. When
Ezekiel writes of Gog and Magog, the offspring of these two
individuals are most likely the nations or powers that he's referring to.
Some manuscripts/translations of the Bible also list "Rosh" as a leader
within this group of countries. It is interesting to note that the first
Czar of Great Muscovie was called Rosh, and that it was from this
leader that Russia derived its name. Past historians divided Russia into
three independent States. One was the main Russian state, also known
as "Muscovie", "Muscovy" or the Eastern and Southern Russia states,
and "Tobolsk" or Northern Russia. Obviously it's easy to draw
parallels with Rosh being modern-day Russia; Meshech, Muscovy;
and Tubal, Tobolsky.
Now we can make another connection when reading Ezekiel 38:2-3:
"Son of man, set thy face against Gog the land of Magog...and
prophesy of him...Behold, I come against thee, O Gog, the chief
prince of Mesech and Tubal."
To make it even clearer, Ezekiel 38: 14-15 gives the direction that the
Gog and Magog empire are from Israel, "Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog... And thou shalt come out of thy place
from the northern parts."
Reading these passages with the knowledge of geography and Russian
history, Russia becomes the prime candidate in the Gog and Magog
sweepstakes.
WHAT COUNTRIES ARE ALIGNED WITH GOG AND
MAGOG?
Ezekiel 38:5 lists the allies of Gog and Magog as being, "Persia,
Ethiopia, and Libya." This is a surprise considering that most analysts
of the Middle East feel Syria, Jordan, and Egypt are the biggest threats
to Israel today. However the portrait presented by the Bible makes
perfect sense if we remember the puzzle piece that talks of "peace and
safety." This suggests a peace treaty of some sort is in place between
Israel and its closest neighbors. This may be why these countries are
missing in the invasion. (Again, the current treaty being proposed for
peace in the Middle East suggests this prophecy may be very close to
being fulfilled.)
The Bible tells us that Gog and Magog's effort to destroy Israel will
collapse before the fury of the Lord. This destruction will apparently
be compounded by confusion or a civil war within the ranks of Gog
and Magog, with brother slaying brother. In the aftermath of the
slaughter, Israel will spend seven months decontaminating the
countryside of all the dead invaders' bodies, as noted in Ezekiel 39:11-
12:
11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto
Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the
passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of
the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his
multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of
them, that they may cleanse the land.
Another key puzzle piece is in the disposal of the military equipment
left behind by the defeated Gog and Magog armies. Israel burns the
trash for a period of seven years, according to Ezekiel 39:9-10:
9 And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and
shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the
bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the hand staves, and the
spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10 So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut
down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons
with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob
those that robbed them, saith the Lord God.
This time frame of a seven years' cleanup may reflect Daniel's
Seventieth Week. If so, then this war signals the beginning of the 7-
year Tribulation. If this is true, then the Rapture most likely occurs
sometime before the battle of Gog and Magog (perhaps even causing
Gog and Magog to launch their attack under the assumption that this is
the best time for it).
THE DESIRE OF NATIONS
Turning to Haggai 2:6-7, we find another bit of our missing puzzle.
6 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little
while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea,
and the dry land;
7 And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations
shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the
LORD of hosts.
This passage links the "shaking" or great earthquake to the coming of
the "desire of all nations", a phrase that must mean the return of the
Lord as the Messiah or Prince of Peace. (This being the desire of all
godly people in the nations, though obviously not the desire of the
wicked on the earth at the time of His return.) This conclusion is
reinforced with the idea that His house will be filled with glory, surely
an indication of both a divine reign as well as an allusion to the House
of David from which the Messiah's royal lineage comes.
PUTTING A DATE ON THE EVENT
Now a key piece to the puzzle that will give us a fuller picture of these
End Time events. Haggai 2:18- 22 gives an exact season and day for
this event.
18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and
twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the
foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider it.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig
tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought
forth: from this day will I bless you.
20 And again the word of the LORD came unto Haggai in the
four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will
shake the heavens and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will
destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will
overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the
horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the
sword of his brother.
This passage contains an obvious allusion to the Tribulation with
earthquakes (shaking the earth) and may also be linked to Revelation
references to stars falling from the sky (shaking the heavens). The
reference of brother being slain by the sword of brother is another link
to the parallel passage in Ezekiel; and the Lord destroys the kingdoms,
suggesting his destruction of Gog and Magog. Additionally, there is
the picture of brother fighting brother, again suggesting that infighting
or confusion that will put the nail into the coffin of Gog and Magog's
invasion.
Notice that Haggai gives the exact day of the month for this event
(which, remember, comes after the Rapture). In both verse 18 and 20
it is noted that the 24th day will be key -- as if God wants to be sure
there's no mistake about which day in the ninth month of the Jewish
calendar, Kislev (also known as Chisleu), this will occur.
(The laying of the foundation for the Lord's Temple suggests the
building has commenced. However this may only refer to the date of
the first Temple. Or it may be that the new Temple will be built on the
foundation stones of the original.)
A SPECIAL DATE
This date is of interest because it occurs just one day before a very
special Jewish festival: Hanukkah. Anywhere else, such timing would
seem rather an odd coincidence. With God, things are different. As
most Biblical scholars know, there's no such thing as "an odd
coincidence" when it comes to Bible prophecy.
For those unfamiliar with Hanukkah (also spelled "Chanukah"), it's a
Jewish festival that occurs in December (on the 25th day of the
Hebrew month Kislev). The festival marks the re-consecration of the
Temple of Jerusalem after its recapture from the Syrian Greeks (c.165
BC).
The original celebration of Hanukkah took place on the day after the
Jews recaptured the temple site. So even the event that Hanukkah
commemorates, actually took place on the 24th day of Kislev.
Another key event in Jewish history also took place on the day before
Hanukkah. In 1917, the Allied Expeditionary Force under General
Allenby to take control of Jerusalem following the destruction of the
Turkish Ottoman Empire at the end of WWI. The day that Allenby
and his force entered Jerusalem was Dec. 9, 1917 -- the 24th day of
Kislev.

JESUS AND HANUKKAH
One might think that Jesus would have ignored this festival since it
wasn't ordained in the Old Testament. In fact, he appears to have taken
part in it and had a very provocative response when questioned during
the event.
John 10:22-28: At that time the Feast of Hanukkah (Dedication) took
place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple
in the portico of Solomon. The Jews therefore gathered around Him,
and were saying to Him, "How long will You keep us in suspense? If
You are the Messiah, tell us plainly." Jesus answered them, "I told
you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name,
these bear witness of Me. But you do not believe, because you are not
of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they
follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish;
and no one shall snatch them out of My hand."
This statement has an obvious meaning. However one might speculate
that the "hear my voice" might also refer to the voice that brings the
dead to life at the first resurrection and brings the living with them as
they are "snatched up" to heaven just before the Great Tribulation
begins. Interestingly, Christ refers to holding sheep in his hand and
that they can't be snatched from his hand by anyone else.
Could this be a veiled reference to the Rapture? In the English
translation this seems like a stretch. But a closer look makes the
possibility seem likely. In English translations, Jesus' reply to the
Jewish leaders at the Festival of Hanukkah doesn't seem to hint at the
Tribulation prophecies. But in the original Greek, a very important
link appears, especially when this verse is compared to what Paul
wrote about the Rapture.
Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, "For the Lord Himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel,
and with the trump of God; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; then
we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with
the Lord." This is the reference to the rapture in the New Testament.
The Greek word used for "caught up" in this passage is harpuzo,
which means to catch up, pluck, snatch, pull, or take by force.
(Translated into Latin, this word becomes raptiere; anglicized, the
word "rapture" is born.) So the word that means "Rapture" is harpuzo.
And here's the connection: When Christ said, "...no one shall snatch
them out of My hand.", his statement employs the same Greek word:
harpuzo. Arguably we should not make too much of this, yet it seems
like another of the "amazing coincidences" that are actually part of
God's plan. The use of harpuzo in both instances suggests a link.
If so, was Christ saying that the Rapture will have taken place and that
he will have already snatched his believers from the Earth, making it
impossible to snatch them back again? This seems like a viable
conclusion and fits very nicely with the links between the day before
Hanukkah and the prophecies about it.
MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE
There may be another hidden reference to the Rapture in Christ's
statement that his sheep hear his voice. In Revelation 4:1-2 there's
another piece to the puzzle that shows the Rapture occurring before
the Tribulation.
John writes, "...I looked and behold, a door was opened in heaven; and
the first voice that I heard was, as it were, a trumpet talking with me;
which said, 'Come up here and I will show thee things which must be
hereafter.' And immediately I was in the Spirit and, behold, a throne
was set in heaven and one sat on the throne."
It should also be noted that the order "Come up here" has a familiar
ring to it. In John 11:43-44, Jesus gives a similar command
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice,
"Lazarus, come forth."
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with
grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin.
Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Thus the Lords simple command that brought Lazarus miraculously to
life, is echoed in the Revelation's "trumpet talking" and that not only
John but all the Christians on earth go into heaven at this time,
answering the command to, "Come up here." That this order is likened
to a trumpet provides another piece to the puzzle. This links Christ's
spoken command to the sound of the last trumpet, a point of
importance to those familiar with Jewish traditions (as outlined
below).
This also fits into the puzzle outlined above in the Old Testament
passages since it places the Rapture of the Church into heaven ahead
of the plagues and destruction that follow during the Tribulation, as
outlined in the rest of the book of Revelation.
THE LAST TRUMPET
There are links between the Jewish trumpet in both battle as well as
references to the same trumpet in the Rapture. Paul wrote another
short passage that refers to the Rapture; First Corinthians 15:51-52
"Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all
be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump;
for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised..."
The "last trumpet" to the Hebrews (and to early Christians also) is a
key phrase with meaning beyond what most of us realize. This "last
trumpet" in this passage isn't the metallic trumpet of the West; rather
it's a ram's horn known as the shofar. Blown during the religious
festival of Rosh HaShanah (also known as Yom Teruah or the Feast of
Trumpets), the shofar marked the beginning of the Jewish New Year.
The shofar is also linked by Jewish tradition to the raising of the dead
to life and for sounding the alarm when battle is imminent. (As noted
in another article we've written, this is also one reason that some
scholars feel that Rosh HaShanah might be the day that the Rapture
occurs.)
The important thing to note here is that the shofar is linked by Jewish
tradition to the resurrection of the dead (which, according to Paul,
takes place for those who have died in Christ at the time of the
Rapture) and that the shofar is also linked by Bible as an instrument
used to warn of battle and conflict.
THE TRUMPET
When one realizes that the shofar is linked both to battle as well as
resurrection, another passage adds important chunks to our puzzle.
This passage links the "Day of the Lord" (or Great Tribulation), the
invasion of Israel by a great army from the North, and the delivery of
Israel by God (the "fear not" in the last verse of this passage).
Joel 2:1-32
1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy
mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the
day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of
thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a
great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like,
neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many
generations.
3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame
burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and
behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall
escape them.
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and
as horsemen, so shall they run
5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they
leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the
stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces
shall gather blackness.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall
like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways,
and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in
his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be
wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the
wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at
the windows like a thief.
10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall
tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall
withdraw their shining:
11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his
camp is very great: for he is strong that executeth his word: for
the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; and who can
abide it?
12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me
with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and
with mourning:
13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto
the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to
anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
14 Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a
blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering
unto the LORD your God?
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn
assembly:
16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the
elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let
the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of
her closet.
17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between
the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O
LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the
heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say
among the people, Where is their God?
18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his
people.
19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people,
Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be
satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach
among the heathen:
20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and
will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face
toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea,
and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up,
because he hath done great things.
21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do
great things.
The above passage links the blowing of the trumpet of God (and --
through our other links -- the rapture) with the beginning of the Day of
the Lord (AKA the Great Tribulation). It also ties into Gog and
Magog in verse 20 as the "northern army".
THE REVELATION TIE-IN
We now have enough puzzle pieces to flesh out another Biblical
passage.
Revelation 6:12-17
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo,
there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as
sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree
casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty
wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled
together; and every mountain and island were moved out of
their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich
men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every
bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and
in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide
us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the
wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be
able to stand?
When we realize that the great earthquake in this passage most likely
occurs in a close time frame to the defeat of Gog and Magog by God's
hand, then we see that this is the start of the Great Tribulation and,
therefore, the Rapture must have preceded this event. The key
elements that can be recognized in this passage are the great
earthquake and the raining down of plagues upon the inhabitants of
the earth.
Placing the Rapture before this even also supports the idea that the
voice (sounding like a trumpet) that calls John up to heaven in Chapter
4 of Revelation must indeed be the event signaling the Rapture of the
church. Furthermore, this explains why the Church is missing from the
account of what's happening on earth during much of the rest of
Revelation's narrative from Chapter 4 on. The Church isn't mentioned
after that point, because it is in Heaven with Christ.
THE ANTICHRIST
Revelation Chapter 6 records the first appearance of the Antichrist as
the man on the white horse. The white horse suggests a charismatic
leader who portrays himself as a good man. In fact he is being
accompanied by the other horsemen who kill and destroy. Riding with
this first figure on a white horse is a similar man on a pale horse; this
fourth horseman is Death.
This is an interesting parallel to Isahiah where we learn of the
"Covenant with Death and Hell" (perhaps alluding to the idea that
"Hell" is the figure of the Antichrist and "Death" is the fourth rider
traveling with him).
Isahiah 28:15: Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with
death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing
scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have
made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
The timeline of these prophecies also rules out the possibility that the
destruction of Gog and Magog is part of the Battle of Armageddon
since Christ returns much later in Revelation (Chapter 19).
CONCLUSION
There's an important picture that can be assembled from all of the
puzzle pieces in these passages. First, the beginning of the Great
Tribulation may begin on the 24th day of the ninth month of the
Hebrew calendar. The catch is in knowing which year this will occur
in -- hence the "no man knows the day or hour" still applies.
However that year may be very, very near, as shown by the events
mentioned which have either already occurred or which might easily
happen with little or no major changes on the world scene. For
example in Ezekiel, God lays out the events that lead up to the
invasion by Gog and Magog. This passage tells of the end of Jewish
exile and the creation of a Jewish state:
Ezekiel 36:24: For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather
you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.
This idea is repeated in Chapter 37:21-22
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I
will take the children of Israel from among the heathen,
whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and
bring them into their own land.
22 And I will make them one nation upon the mountains of
Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be
no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two
kingdoms any more at all.
These passages were written when Israel was a divided nation. Now,
after over 2,000 years later, Israel is a single entity once again. These
conditions have now been met with the creation of Israel in 1948 and
the return of the Jews to this homeland. This event has occurred and
the next chapter of Ezekiel is the invasion by Gog and Magog.
On our assembled puzzle timeline then, the next event is the Rapture.
The stage is set for this to occur.
How far ahead of the invasion the Rapture occurs is unknown; but it
would seem logical that it will come a very short time before the
invasion, given the fact that such a momentous event as the sudden
vanishing of a large chunk of the world's population will create the
type of confusion that Gog and Magog might try to use to their
advantage in attacking Israel. Or it may be that the two events will
very nearly coincide so that the Rapture is missed during the noise and
confusion of the fighting, earthquakes, and plagues.
Some have argued that the Jewish Temple must be built before the
Rapture occurs. However this goes against the time-line of Ezekiel.
Not until we reach Chapters 40 - 47:12 are the details of the rebuilding
of Israel's Temple in Jerusalem given. The Rapture and the invasion
must surely happen before the Temple is built, perhaps after the
Antichrist has established his power.
Given the fact that plans are currently being made for the building of
the new Temple in Israel, with some of the instruments and
furnishings of the Temple being purchased and constructed, this also
suggests that the time of these events may be very close.
The assembled puzzle shows that the picture is almost to take place.
This is undoubtedly the most important point for both the believer and
unbeliever alike. Time is short and must be used carefully, in prayer
and witnessing so the world can know about the saving grace of God's
Son, the Jewish Messiah and the Savior of all who would make Him
their Lord.

AN INTERESTING revelation........ when I became pregnant for
my son, spring of 2003, the LORD, told me I'd only have him for
3-5 yrs.I prayed and pleaded with him.....then don't bother giving
him to me, if your going to take him away. I couldn’t take losing
him.
He said "No.......you will have him 5 yrs, then you will go
together. In the mean time raise him for me.". My Husband and I
have raised him to Love and Believe in Our Lord., he is 5
now....he remains 5 till Dec 12th 2009 (Editor’s note: This could
be a one year warning – Be wise as serpents & harmless as
doves.).........so do truly believe, the Lord will come, and My son
Christian and I will be raptured together.. the Lord also told me
He'd be a prophet......

25 Know therefore and understand, that from the
going forth of the commandment to restore and
to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
shall be seven weeks;
and threescore and two
weeks: the street shall be built again, and the
wall, even in troublous times.
(Do you see: Otherwise why not just say 69
weeks?)
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall
Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the
people of the prince that shall come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end
thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of
the war desolations are determined.

"Newton's Riddle" - Jim Bramlett - Feb 27,
2008
http://www.prophecyforum.com/bramlett/newton
s_riddle.html
Newton was a devout believer in Christ and
Bible scholar, fluent in ancient languages, and
who translated directly from the Hebrew and
Greek. He was unusually drawn to the prophet
Daniel, which he began studying at age 12 and
continued until he died at age 85. In fact, The
Columbia History of the World, a secular history
book, remarks, "At the end of his days he spent
more time studying and writing about the
prophecies in the Book of Daniel than he did in
charting the heavens." Apparently, God Himself
put in Newton's heart this burning desire to study
Daniel, then gave him the key to the timing of
Christ's return.
Could this be the final profound secret the
Lord revealed to this godly genius near the end
of his life -- a secret "accidentally" discovered in
the Library of Congress and republished just in
the last few years -- a secret so simple that most
have missed it?
If Newton was correct in his interpretation of
Daniel, the prophet to whom God gave specific
timing, then the return of the Lord Jesus Christ
will be very, very soon, indeed!
Newton's understanding of one key passage
in Daniel chapter 9 is fundamentally different
from that of most common interpretations. In
about 550 B.C., God gave the prophet Daniel a
view of history to the end. From Daniel 9:25,
scholars usually add the "seven weeks (of years,
or 49 years) and 62 weeks (434 years)" to get
483 years and calculate the time of Messiah's
First Coming. However, Newton says there is no
linguistic basis for adding those two numbers
(49 and 434), and to do so is "doing violence to
the language of Daniel." Newton says the two
numbers separately speak of both the First and
Second Coming, both being counted from the
"going forth of the commandment to restore and
to build Jerusalem." The "seven
weeks," or 49-year part will apply to the Second
Coming (1967 Jerusalem recapture to 2016 – 7
years Tribulation
= Rapture - Fall of 2009 to Fall of 2010).
And three centuries ago he saw in the
Scriptures and wrote about the rebirth of Israel
at a time when such a thought was
preposterous. Amazingly by faith and
understanding of the Scriptures, he foresaw a
"friendly kingdom" someday again issuing the
"commandment to restore and build Jerusalem."
References to the location of heaven, and an identifying description of
God's throne, are found in Job 26:9, Job 22:12-14 and Revelation 4:1-3.
Some people believe that the Orion Nebula above seems to fit the
description of the Emerald Tinted cloud mentioned in the last text (depends
on your translation) and is located beyond the dark cloud of that Nebula.
Since the word Nebula means "cloud" read the texts just mentioned using
the word Nebula instead of the word cloud. If this is the correct location for
the physical throne of God and of Heaven, it is approximately 1500 light
years away. What is 1500 years compared to a prayer answered within an
hour, which Daniel experienced? This is faster by far than the speed of
light. When the angel Gabriel answered Daniel's prayer while he was yet
praying, he evidently came from Heaven to Earth (transformed into the
form of a man) in much less time that it would take ordinary light to travel
that same distance…
WILL THE THIRD TEMPLE BE BUILT NEXT YEAR?
WILL THE THIRD TEMPLE BE BUILT NEXT YEAR?
(Israel Today News)
According to a centuries-old rabbinical prophecy that appears to be coming true, on
March 16, 2010, Israel will begin construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.
During the 18th century, the Vilna Gaon, a respected rabbinical authority,
prophesied that the Hurva Synagogue in Jerusalem, which was built during his day,
would be destroyed and rebuilt twice, and that when the Hurva was completed for
the third time, construction on the Third Temple would begin.
The Hurva Synagogue was first destroyed shortly after its initial construction when
Muslims demanding the return of loans tore it down. The synagogue was rebuilt a
hundred years later and became the most important Jewish house of worship in the
Holy Land, only to be blown to pieces by Jordanian troops during Israel’s 1948 War
of Independence.
In 2001, Israel finally decided to rebuild the landmark, which today stands in the
center of the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem’s Old City. The building is scheduled to
be completed and the Hurva Synagogue dedicated for the third time on March 15 of
next year.
The LORD told Daniel that "the daily sacrifice", "the transgression of
desolation", and "the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot"
would last 2,300 days (Daniel 8:13-14). "The daily sacrifice" refers to the
beginning of sacrifice in the Jewish Temple on Jerusalem's Temple
Mount. "The transgression of desolation" refers to Antichrist's
"abomination of desolation" (Matthew 24:15) which occurs "in the midst
[lit., middle] of the week" (Daniel 9:27). "The sanctuary and the host to be
trodden under foot" refers to the period of time, beginning with the
Russian invasion and continuing to "the consummation" (Daniel 9:27) at
the end of the Week, that even this newly rebuilt Jewish Temple will be
out of business while the Gentile nations trod under foot Jerusalem and
the Temple. "Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto
that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the
daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the
sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me,
Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed" (Daniel 8:13-14).
Temple sacrifice will be in progress 220 days after the beginning of the
Tribulation Week. How so? 2,520 days [the length of the Tribulation
Week] minus 2,300 days [the number of days mentioned to Daniel that
extends from the cleansing of the sanctuary at the end of the Week,
forward] equals 220 days [the time after the beginning of the Tribulation
Week that the Temple sacrifices will have had to begun].

PRAY THIS PRAYER OUT
LOUD TO GOD:
“Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken
your laws and my sins have separated me
from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want
to turn away from my past sinful life
toward You. Please forgive me, and help
me avoid sinning again. I believe that
Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins,
was resurrected from the dead, is alive,
and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to
become the Lord of my life, to rule and
reign in my heart from this day forward.
Please send your Holy Spirit to help me
obey You, and to do Your will for the rest
of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”
UPDATE: The signs and wonders in the sky occur just before Jesus
returns in the Day of the Lord. They are revealed in the "sixth seal" of
Revelation chapter six... and in Matthew 24:29, just before Jesus sends His
angels to gather His saints into the clouds in verses 30-31.

Have a look at this pic and note the location on the horizon and the size of
the spiral in relation to the mountain...
The Russian ICBM was launched 700 miles from here...
They said that it failed in its 3rd stage..
http://www.itar-tass.com/eng/level2.htm ... &PageNum=0
Anyone care to venture a guess what the 3rd stage of AN ICBM IS?
You guessed it.
It's the stage that boosts the payload into SPACE!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Tride ... System.png
SOOOOOOO....
does this Norway spiral = IN SPACE or even NEAR SPACE?
I think not!
Not to mention at the 3rd stage the rocket has spent most of its fuel supply.
This thing was stationary in the sky spinning for several minutes at
minimum and some reports say it was there for more than ten minutes.
This would not be possible with the remaining fuel for the 3rd stage engine.
Further the 3rd stage is less than 1/3 the mass of the entire rocket.
Whatever was seen in the skies over Norway was HUGE. There is no
possible way this was the 3rd stage of an ICBM on the edge of space.
Then we have this :
Quote:
700 miles away, and the atmosphere height is what? -60-70 miles up to
space?
That would mean the rocket had to travel 10 miles west for every 1 mile up.
That incline angle is FAR FAR too low for ANY rocket that goes into space.
Rocket theory is smashed. There is no ICBM that travels a 10/1 incline
angle. It is ridiculous and near impossible.

Oral Roberts - Warning?
Methuselah or Metushélach (Hebrew:  
/
 
, Modern Mtušéla / Mtušála Tiberian
Mûšéla/ Mûšala ; "Man of the dart/spear", or
alternatively "when he dies/died, it shall be
sent/has been sent") is the oldest person
whose age is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible,
given as 969 years. He died on the 11th of
Cheshvan of the year 1656 (Anno Mundi, after
Creation), 7 days before the beginning of the
great Flood. According to Rashi on Gen. 7:4 ,
God delayed the Flood specially because of the
7 days of mourning for the righteous
Methuselah in his honour. Methuselah was son
of Enoch and the grandfather of Noah.
God’s 7 days may be extended to this
generation, but I still believe we’re looking at a
short time frame…placing us somewhere in
2010.
In case you're wondering who Rashi was:
Shlomo Yitzhaki, better known by the acronym
Rashi (Rabbi Shlomo Yitzhaki), (February 22,
1040 – July 13, 1105), was a medieval French
rabbi famed as the author of the first
comprehensive commentary on the Talmud, as
well as a comprehensive commentary on the
Tanakh (Hebrew Bible). He is considered the
"father" of all commentaries that followed on
the Talmud (i.e., the Baalei Tosafot) and the
Tanakh (i.e., Ramban, Ibn Ezra, Ohr HaChaim,
et al.

Significant Quantities of Oil Discovered in Center of
Israel
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
(IsraelNN.com) An everlasting hope of finding
significant amounts of oil in Israel may have been
realized with the announcement Thursday that
“significant quantities” of oil were found in a
well in the area of Rosh HaAyin, a city located
east of Tel Aviv on the western edge of Samaria.
The Givat Olam (Hebrew for “Hill of the World”)
Exploration Limited Partnership informed the Tel
Aviv Stock Exchange of the discovery, but added,
“At this stage it is not possible to estimate the
significance of these findings." The company’s
stock more than doubled on the stock market,
according to Globes.
The firm said the oil was found late Wednesday
night and that “more than 60 percent gas was
measured in the drill mud.” The commercial
potential of the oil field will not be known until
tests and calculations on production and processing
can be completed.
The “Meged” well in the Rosh HaAyin area is one of
the few that have been drilled outside of the Negev
and Dead Sea area. Several studies by independent
consultants have confirmed the potential for oil in
the area, and previous drillings have encouraged
the prospects of discovering enough oil and gas for
commercial production.
Earlier this year, a huge gas field was discovered
off the Mediterranean Coast. The gas is expected to
be on line in three years and is anticipated to
help Israel become self-sufficient in gas. It also
is providing hundreds of high-paying jobs for
developing the field and bringing the gas from the
sea, off Hadera and Haifa, to the coastline.
If the Meged well proves commercially viable, it
will further Israel’s longtime hope of being energy
independent and is likely to strengthen the shekel
against world currencies.

ISLE OF PATMOS, WHERE JOHN THE REVELATOR WROTE THE
APOCALYPSETHE
BOOK OF REVELATION
REVELATION CHAPTER 3
3:1 And to the messenger of the assembly in Sardis
write: These things saith he who is having the
Seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars: I have
known thy works, and that thou hast the name that
thou dost live, and thou art dead;
3:2 become watching, and strengthen the rest of
the things that are about to die, for I have not
found thy works fulfilled before God.
3:3 `Remember, then, how thou hast received, and
heard, and be keeping, and reform: if, then, thou
mayest not watch, I will come upon thee as a thief,
and thou mayest not know what hour I will come upon
thee.
3:4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis who did
not defile their garments, and they shall walk with
me in white, because they are worthy.
3:5 He who is overcoming -- this one -- shall be
arrayed in white garments, and I will not blot out
his name from the scroll of the life, and I will
confess his name before my Father, and before His
messengers.
3:6 He who is having an ear -- let him hear what
the Spirit saith to the assemblies.
3:7 `And to the messenger of the assembly in
Philadelphia write: These things saith he who is
holy, he who is true, he who is having the key of
David, he who is opening and no one doth shut, and
he shutteth and no one doth open!
3:8 I have known thy works; lo, I have set before
thee a door -- opened, and no one is able to shut
it, because thou hast a little power, and didst
keep my word, and didst not deny my name;
3:9 lo, I make of the synagogue of the Adversary
those saying themselves to be Jews, and are not,
but do lie; lo, I will make them that they may come
and bow before thy feet, and may know that I loved
thee.
3:10 `Because thou didst keep the word of my
endurance, I also will keep thee from the hour of
the trial that is about to come upon all the world,
to try those dwelling upon the earth.

Geneustace I found some of this material to be somewhat hypothetical in nature espically with the pyramids and the personal words by individuals!!!

I myself have used the pyramids to justify the year of the second coming in 2017!!!

But this just gives me so much information that really does not convince me very much of anything!!!

But I just let it go over me if it doesn't speak to me!!!

Maybe someone else will learn something from this material that might open another door to the truth!!!

I am not being critical of this vast material I am just weary of so much speculation!!!

I need something I can sink my teeth into that is based solely on scripture like the later half of this post seemed to focus on!!!!

I am trying to get my calculations from the word of God or sources that are based on biblical mathmatics!!!

That should be our foundation!!! But thanks for making this material available so that we all can make our own judgment based on the facts presented!!!

Geneustace continue your great research!!!

Agreed with You Scot, this is like www.flash.net something that always move on their expected date of rapture since last year. And moreover, everything in there almost match perfectly of what www.flash.net explained.
However, about the pyramid itself, that's is just one possibility of the rapture time but I am personally believe nobody knows the rapture time until the order is given to the Lord of lords to come down and take your bride away from the Father. From some wisdom of the people: Newton, etc. we can know the possibility of some years of the rapture and that is now.
I look at the current situation, and felt in my heart, this is it, this is it, this is it, like CJ has wrote several times the time frame 1917 - 1947 - 1967 - 2017 is a very compelling argument.
I know this passover 2010 will be a very special year for myself maybe all of you since this year 2010 personally I will celebrate the passover for the first time in my life with the way that the Jew originally celebrate since I am the member of Messianic Jews since July 2009, last year. I am looking forward to it expectantly .... since at the same time the birth pangs has risen dramatically ... It will blow out someday sometime in the future not long from now ....
Did you hear the trumpet of wars coming?
