America is, of course, trying to provoke Russia to react. They've been trying it for a couple of years now first through Ukraine and most recently through Turkey a fellow NATO nation. Will they eventually give in and react? I would think not. They are right on top of the situation in Syria, re ISIS. American intervention in the area over the last 15 years (8 years of Bush and 7 so far of Obama) have led to a flood of refugees entering Europe and other parts of the world. Along with their ally China they will be patient and wait. America and the West is teetering on the brink more so than the BRICS nations.
There's been other false flags (events which aren't as they seem) during 2015. In January was the Charlie Hebdo shooting; in March, US laser test from fighter plane downed Germanwings Flight 9525; the same weapon caused a power outage in Holland soon after; Saudi Arabia attacks Iran proxy nation Yemen. Clearly there is an escalation of some sort going on here. Coalitions of nations working with each other, with their own motives, using and being used, the blind leading the blind down the slippery slope.
One thing is certain. "...The left wing and the right wing belong to the same bird." It's all being co-ordinated and stage managed. It's individuals who are the victims of all this. My time has not yet come but I'm watching my back! They are setting up to control us and take away our human rights. What if martial law in Paris & Brussels is just a stage to setting it up nationwide in the Euro countries and then rest of the E.U.? Martial law is setting up a military commander over us. He would do such things as: closedown airports, close banks, confiscate any extra food you have (Preppers beware) and take away extra money too. Of course, God doesn't take too kindly to them taking over the world which He's redeemed with His blood - it belongs to Him. Psalm 2 talks about the nations conspiring against Israel. It also refers to them as His anointed. I receive great calmness when reading this. It doesn't, however, make good reading for those He is talking too. Thus: (Verses 4-6) "The One enthroned in Heaven laughs; the LORD scoffs at them. He rebukes them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath, saying, “I have installed My King on Zion, My Holy mountain.”
Since these thoughts started impacting me about one year ago, I have continued writing up these blogs; keeping up my regular Bible readings - five chapters a day with ten on Sunday so I can have Saturday free just to be with the LORD; keeping myself fit by going for regular walks; I have found some car driving work from an agency which also keeps me fit (though I must make sure not to snack while getting around doing this) and busy; also I seek out lots of information both Christian and secular on the internet which gives me a much clearer picture about how the end times are progressing. The use of electronic Bible software is of great help too.
Sometime back my understanding was in line with Revelation 18:4 (NIV) "Then I heard another voice from heaven say: “‘Come out of her, My people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues." This also was in line with Revelation 2:20-23 (NIV) which says "Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads My servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I Am He who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds." It's a church we're talking about here I thought. The Vatican, of course. At the same time I discovered that they are the church in Pergamum. By committing spiritual fornication with her through The World Council of Churches all denominations, even around the world, have fallen for this and will be struck dead (!) because of it. Good reason to get out, I thought.
I would go off to church on Sunday very innocently not realising this. How many of your average church know this or even very anointed worship and teaching ones? There's a parallel with this in Luke 12:38-40 (NIV) which I learnt while these things were still on my mind. "It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. (And:) "You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him.” The first underlined passage is referring to your pastor, teacher, leader or whatever you call him! Are you shocked? It's the Son of Man who is coming as the thief in the night. Who is He going to take us from? The second underlined bit which He was showing was for me. These words had a profound effect. Wow! I'm listening LORD. Do the two paragraphs put things into place for you too. Think about these things and ask Him questions, I thought. Get the greater understanding for your own good.
He started speaking to me, then, I remember about Noah, Daniel & Job. I knew it was a Scripture. I could remember it from times past. For about a month or more I did nothing about it! Then I looked. Ezekiel 14:12-21 (NIV) "The Word of the LORD came to me: “Son of man, if a country sins against Me by being unfaithful and I stretch out My hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its people and their animals, even if these three men—Noah, Daniel and Job—were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD. “Or if I send wild beasts through that country and they leave it childless and it becomes desolate so that no one can pass through it because of the beasts, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be desolate. “Or if I bring a sword against that country and say, ‘Let the sword pass throughout the land,’ and I kill its people and their animals, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if these three men were in it, they could not save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved. “Or if I send a plague into that land and pour out My wrath on it through bloodshed, killing its people and their animals, as surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, even if Noah, Daniel and Job were in it, they could save neither son nor daughter. They would save only themselves by their righteousness. “For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: How much worse will it be when I send against Jerusalem my four dreadful judgments--sword and famine and wild beasts and plague—to kill its men and their animals!" I learnt first that Noah saved seven in his time, Daniel three but Job none. Then, I was directed to Revelation 6 to look at the second, third & fourth seals. Look what it says: (Seal 2.) "When He (the Lamb) broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature call out, “Come.” And another, a fiery red horse [of bloodshed], came out; and its rider was empowered to take peace from the earth, so that men would slaughter one another; and a great sword [of war and violent death] was given to him. (Seal 3.) "When He (the Lamb) broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature call out, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a black horse [of famine]; and the rider had in his hand a pair of scales (a balance). And I heard something like a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart of wheat for a denarius (a day’s wages), and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not damage the oil and the wine.” (Seal 4.) —"When He (the Lamb) broke open the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature call out, “Come.” So I looked, and behold, an ashen (pale greenish gray) horse [like a corpse, representing death and pestilence]; and its rider’s name was Death; and Hades (the realm of the dead) was following with him. They were given authority and power over a fourth part of the earth, to kill with the sword and with famine and with plague (pestilence, disease) and by the wild beasts of the earth." The second seal is war or bringing the sword; the third seal is famine and the fourth seal mentions both wild beasts and plague. So, its not to much to say the two passages of Scripture are similar or too be considered as important for us at this time too.
Joel 3:5 (2:32 in other translations) At that time, whoever calls on the name of ADONAI will be saved. For in Mount Zion and Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as ADONAI has promised; among the survivors will be those whom ADONAI has called."
Matthew 25:1. “At that time the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom."
Revelation 14:1. "Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000 who had His name and His Father’s name written on their foreheads."
These three Scriptures came to me at almost the same time in October. First was Mount Zion and Jerusalem for those who called on Adonai will be saved and escape. Then came the wise and foolish virgins (or more properly maidens) went out to meet the bridegroom. Its Jesus who's the bridegroom but where do they meet Him? At His home - Jerusalem. That's the same as previous verse. Then we find the Lamb (Jesus again) is standing on Mount Zion. So is it too much of a chance that He will meet us with the 144,000 (at Passover) on Mount Zion? However, with all this information comes a lot of stress trying to work things out with Him how to prepare for this. I choose to give it all to Him.
1 Peter 5:7. "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."
Job 32:8. "(But) it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding."
2 Corinthians 9:14-15. "And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!"
Psalm 133. "How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows His blessing, even life forevermore." Amen.
