My friends,
I'm planning to write several additions to this thread opposed to one big book. I've written a book about my gift which ended up being 200 type written pages. It's way too much! If I ever get Microsoft Word again, and Good Lord willing, I'll edit it down by at least 50 pages. So, if you see a new flag on this thread, I hope you'll give it a look and I'll try to keep each addition to a reasonable word count.
This thread is a result of the burden that has been on my heart lately. The Lord will put burdens on our hearts to woo us into a relationship with Him, to motivate us to do what he's leading us to do... These burdens are not meant for us to worry, but to act.
For more than hunting, the Lord has led me to this site; it's for his purpose and his glory. DO NOT think anything of me other than a wretched human saved by the shed blood of Christ. If you don't believe in the shed of Christ then I will still be a wretched human.
I will write things that may be disturbing to some. I do not want this thread to turn into an argument over doctrine. However, I welcome ALL comments or debate in a PM.
Why do this? I feel compelled to do it just as I'm compelled to witness to a certain individual at a certain time. I never know what he will do with anything I say or do, but I do know that he is leading me to do this, and his word will never turn up void. I really do not want to know if anyone finds it beneficial. I've not been given the grace to handle it.
For well over a decade, the Lord has put a burden on my heart for the lost who don't know it. Of course, anyone possessing an evangelical gift finds anyone lost is burdensome on the heart, but this has hit me hard.
Once saved always saved??? I'm not so sure although I was raised and taught in a Baptist church. I want to believe it, and some verses makes me think it's true, and some not so much. Sure we can mention many verses here to support both views. My question really is, "Why should it matter?" ...if we continue to follow the path of his desire.
No; I absolutely do not believe if one uses God's name in vain just before dying in a car wreck that that one sin will keep one out. However, I'm leaning more to the deliberate departure of one's faith as having a serious eternal consequence. We know that the Good Shepard will leave the 99 to pursue and find the one who drifted away to bring him back into the fold. I'm concerned about the one who says, "I'm not coming with you ...at least not now."
I believe the two greatest tricks that Satan has played on humanity is that he doesn't exist and that there is still time. "Time" is a powerful weapon as a little chipping away can reduce a huge bolder into a pebble with enough time. This is what happen to the Jews. As generations passed they forgot their First Love, and it happened a little at a time. We can change, customs can change, and the moral standard in our hearts can change. Our God does not change; his precepts do not change.
Enough for now; I'll be back.

It's a rare occasion that I can say such a thing. I haven't slept yet or I wouldn't be awake. Not working allows me the privilege to study, worship and dwell upon the things of the Lord night or day. It's sweeeeeet! LOL
I have been up all night thinking about the Lord and what he wants me to say to you. As much as I talk one would think that this comes easy for me. I know where I want to go with this, but not sure just yet how to get there. I am NOT a teacher or a leader. I greatly admire those whom God has blessed with these gifts, but I certainly do not have them.
All I really can do is speak from my heart, share my experiences and thoughts in hope that God will use it in some way. I'm actually working right now. This is the job that He has given me to do, to cry out from internet abyss to any who will listen.
I stumbled upon this site looking for a places to hunt in Indiana. When I signed up, I didn't know that I had joined a forum ...I don't like forums. LOL
In this same way, God may lead someone to read this or any of our spiritual posts to work his will in them. This is why we keep on working even if we do not witness the fruit.
I really will get to the Feast of Trumpets, but I won't be trying to teach about it even though I'll try to explain some of it. Every post here will be about the burden the Lord has placed on my heart. It's just that the Feast of Trumpets has reignited or intensified this weight upon my heart.
Recently, I've written about the "many" spoken of in Matthew 7:21-23. This is the burden that has been with me for over a decade. These souls had many great works, but were not saved, had never been saved as Jesus says to them that he never knew them.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Those who do the will of the Father will enter the kingdom of heaven Jesus says. It sure sounds like these "many" were doing works that would be the will of the Father. What's the deal here? Fellas, this gives me cold chills.
We cannot know if another is saved or not; we cannot know their heart. We can only know our own, and this what I pray readers examine after these posts are finished. We MUST examine our hearts to know who we really are, and not who we think we are or who we want others to think we are.
I'll comment no more on these verses, but know who you are. 1John 5:13 says that we can know that we are his.
Even more recently, another burden has been on my heart concerning the lost. It's a fearful thing to mislead another regarding God's word whether it's intentional or not. I am terribly afraid that I may have given some a false sense of security. We read recently in one of Wood's daily devotionals about Ezekiel. God told him the things he must say, the warnings that he must give to the people. If he did not do it, their blood would be on his hands.
I'm confident that someone's blood is on my hands and it's a heavy burden to bear.
I've been studying about the Feast of Trumpets for a little while, and when doing so I came across a verse that I just didn't remember, or I saw it in a different way for the first time. It's Matthew 24:45-51, but right now I'll talk about verses 48-51.
48 But suppose that servant is wicked and says to himself, ‘My master is staying away a long time,’ 49 and he then begins to beat his fellow servants and to eat and drink with drunkards. 50 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. 51 He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The Master here is clearly God. God's servants are Christians. Is this a Christian who consciously choose to leave the Master's will and was sent to hell or was this servant one who said he would follow as Judas did, but was never one of them?
I must clarify again that I am not trying to prove, disprove or debate any issue in these posts. I'm just trying to stimulate thought, trying to brings sight to the blind. The "many" were blind to the condition of their hearts and thought their works would suffice.
Who are we??? We must know ourselves. Who are we when no one is looking? Who are we when our wives leave town for a few days? God knows who we are. Do we deceive ourselves?
I prayed once for God to show me the error of my ways. I saw so many that I couldn't take it anymore, "Please stop now." I prayed.
If God could use me to open the eyes of one person blind to the condition of their heart before it's too late for them... just one is all I ask.

In my little egg shell of a world, I think most know if they're saved or lost; however, Matthew 7 does seem to refute my thoughts on a global scale.
Today is the day of salvation! Today is the day to return to Him. He is faithful time and time again to forgive us, but when we say, "What have I done?" We can no longer recognize a need for him. I fear for these many.
There is no joy like being right with the Lord. I wish we could stay on this mountain top, this spiritual high. We live in a fallen world and it can choke the life from us, or at least our joy ...all of us feel this weight.
I've been wanting to write, but life got in the way. Oh no, I don't have a too busy excuse anymore. It was just an effect of being in this old world. I was distracted and frustrated. I couldn't seem to tap into the well that never runs dry. It was there flowing, but I just couldn't bask in it like I needed to.
I sat down, I think, four times to write, but deleted it every time. We can do nothing fruitful, but that he does it through us, so we have to stay plugged in.
No man knows the day or hour.
Matthew 24:36 "No one knows when that day and hour will come
—neither the heavenly angels nor the Son, but only the Father,..."
Jesus didn't know when he was here on earth; he only knew what the Father told or revealed to him. We see him asking peoples names, but God knows our names. Sure, he could have just not wanted to reveal himself at that time too.
If the Priest and Pharisees really were educated in the Torah, they should have known when the Messiah was due to be on the scene, but they did not. Why? 2 Corinthians 3:14 However, their minds were hardened, for to this day the same veil is still there when they read the old covenant. Only in union with the Messiah is that veil removed. The KJV uses the term "blinded". They were blinded for a season ...for our sake!
None of them understood what we know today. Today, we see exactly when he was due to come. They were blinded to it for our sake. Peter tells us not to boast against the Jews for this reason.
I guess it is possible for God to not reveal this information to Jesus even in his heavenly realm, but my human mind cannot understand this. Let's look to the Jewish wedding customs to understand this idiom.
You probably know these things, but someone might not, so indulge me.
A Jewish man became betrothed (engaged) to a woman for a year or more, sometimes it was two. The man would leave his bride to go prepare a place for her. Does this sound familiar?
John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
We, the Church, is his bride as we are told many times in the Bible. When a Jewish man betrothed to a woman was asked when was he going to get his bride, he would reply, "No one knows the day or hour." He would go to his father's land and build a house for him and his bride. Even when he thought he was finished, he still could not go get her until his father approved the house. When he gave the okay, he could go retrieve her. So possibly, just as with the Jewish wedding, the Son may not know ...but I can't imagine it now.
They had a watcher in a tower as many nations and groups of people did. The watcher would ring the bell to alert the bride to get ready; her groom is coming. Jesus speaks of this comparing his return for his bride. The bride would light her lamp and throw on the finishing touches. By the time he had arrived the good and wise virgin was ready and was carried out to meet him. They would return to the house the groom had built and consummate the marriage for 7 days.
Brothers, someday Jesus is coming to get his bride, the Church, and he's taking us back to the house he has built for us. The consummation of the wedding will not be as ours of course, but we'll be with him for 7 years, and then we come out or back with him.
The whole population of the nation or Jewish tribe did not sit in the tower to watch; a watcher did. I have recently struggled with this. I apologize if I have made anyone uncomfortable by insinuating that they should also be watchers. My dear wife again has helped me understand this. No one else would have been able to make me see it. She is the precious jewel of a woman that the Bible speaks of. I give her heck on this site, but none of that is true. I'm just having fun, and she knows it. Precious she is.
I heard her words that she was always ready, and she is! I'm not. LOL Jesus tells us to "WATCH", and I shared a parable about the servant who was caught unaware of his master's return. When I really listened to what she was saying and read the parable of the 12 virgins, I understood. The Holy Spirit gave me much needed clarity in this matter. It's OKAY if you are not a watcher if you are always ready or listen to the ringing of the bell. The good and wise virgins kept their oil lamps full. All they needed to do was trim the wick and clean up a bit.
A peace came over me when I understood. Again, I apologize to you as I did my wife if I have made you feel like you were lacking if you weren't also a watcher.
I am a watcher! It is what he has made me to do. I started watching in 2011 and have learned much. The job of a watcher is to watch and ring the bell when he sees the groom coming. I will most certainly ring the bell when I see him in the distance, and that time has already come.
The Feast of Trumpets and clarity is next.

I think it's necessary for me to tell you a little about my background. I was 12 years old when I accepted the Lord as my personal savior. I did not understand what had happened to me, but I was thrilled about it. I knew that I did not have what the teachers were talking about, but I wanted it. I knew I was lacking. Understanding came with maturity, eventually I no longer needed the milk, but could eat the meat of his word. I grew as a seed planted in good soil. At some point, still as a child, I wanted to read Revelation to see for myself what it was about. I was drawn to it; I had to read it, and I hated to read. Now looking back, it reminds me of Moses desiring to climb the mountain to see the wonder for himself. I'd never read or heard of such things, and could not fathom them. I took them all literally, and it scared the bejeebies out of me. I did, however, walk away with one profound epiphany. What this young boy got from reading Revelation was that the church was not going to be here. I told my granny(Ruth) and she told my pappy (Cornie).
Ruth: "Cornie, Dennis doesn't think we're going to be here during the Tribulation."
Cornie, "Well, maybe we won't."
...and that was it. I can still hear it today, just as it was. As the Bible tells us, out of the mouth of babes...
I believe that even way back then he was preparing me to be a watcher even though I didn't have a clue what one was.
I was different than most kids I knew. Actually, I was different than most people I knew. I had a purpose, and that purpose was to tell others about the Good News. I talked a lot about it. Most did not want to hear what a kid had to say, and other kids ...well, kids can be very cruel.
I would preach while I cut grass. I told pappy that I did and he said, "I could hear you over the mower."
After witnessing to a lot of people, I was 16 years old when the Lord used me to bring in the harvest. He was 16 as well. It was the first time I had met him, and never saw him again. I poured my heart out to this boy, and was so SHOCKED when he said yes that he wanted to accept the Lord as his personal savior. I don't remember anything I said except something about pizza. Maybe that was a good way to describe heaven to a 16 year old. LOL I had become so accustom to rejection that I never dreamed that he would get saved. It was one of the greatest moments of my life and set me on a path of evangelism. I wondered if the Lord would call me to be a preacher, but he never did. I'm not a leader, and not a teacher. I pour out from my heart what the Lord has put in, and this is all I am.
For much of the past 45 years walking with him, he has used me to be a witness of Him. Recently, he has given me a new job. He had to prepare me for it, as I would have never been effective at it as I was before he broke me. It took 7 long agonizing years of torment to break me, of which I would not wish on my worst enemy. There is absolutely no way I could have know how much I could really bear until I broke. Truly, he led me through the valley of the shadow of death. Truly truly I could bear no more. It takes enormous heat to mold metal; I wish that I had not been so hard to mold. This is why I desire to so quickly acknowledge the error of my ways.
I'm a watcher on this next level. I am responsible and will be held accountable to warn you of his pending arrival. You are my responsibility only because he has given me access to you.

Don't stress out if you think I'm going to give a date. LOL At this point in the watch, no credible watcher will give a date, but we really do know that it is close.
Of all the many things that God has spoken to me with his voice about, he has NEVER told me when he's coming back, and I can't imagine him doing it. He won't even tell me if I'm going to live to see it. He will, however, continue to unfold the mysteries of the latter days. I really wouldn't be a bit surprised if he takes me home before he comes; I'm not worthy to experience this great wonder.
Jesus did say that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the latter days. He did tell Noah 7 days before the rains started that they would start. If he gives anyone a short advance notice, it won't be me.
I really do believe he will come back on a Feast of Trumpets, but I don't know which year at this point. The Feast of Trumpets is the next Feast day to be fulfilled. The first 4 spring feasts have been fulfilled; we'll go over them next time. The Feast of Trumpets is the only feast day that no man knows which day or hour it starts. If we actually knew the year, we still would not know the day or hour of his coming.
More to come...

You've heard me use three terms that I will not take lightly, think, believe and know. With salvation and the possibility of losing it, I've used these terms. The spiritual nature in me is to evangelize. One might think that I would know all about it. I know we can be saved by the shed blood of Jesus. I know that we can know that we are saved 1John 5:13. I know that no man can pluck us out of his hand. However, other verses lead me to question if one can remove one's self from the faith and flock. For me, I don't want to take a chance. We have nothing to worry about if we stay in him. If we stay in him, we will not want to leave him. If anyone of you has wondered from the faith, the Good Shepard will come get you as He tells us he will. Do not refuse the invitation. Do not say maybe later; He says that he will come at a time you think not, cut you to pieces and give you the same lot as the hypocrites,
Matthew 24:45-51.
The "many" in Matthew 7 never knew Jesus, but they sure put up an argument that they did, but to no avail. Jesus says, "I never knew you." We can rest assured in our salvation; how else could we know? It will not be a balancing scale system based upon our works of good and evil. Why? Because all of man's righteousness is a filthy rag to him. Isaiah 64:6
I don't want anyone to think that I'm not putting strong emphasis on works; it's what we do. We bear fruit. An apple tree will produce apples. What good is it if it doesn't fulfill its intended purpose ...I'd cut it down. What do we do with objects that we purchase, but does not fulfill it's intended purpose? We blow it up with tannerite. Just think little about the works that "He" does through you. Do you see any fruit coming from you? Even the "many" thought they had fruit. Ask the Lord to use you as I have shown you by example before. We have a purpose, and it is not to be idle. Retirement in the Lord's work comes when a time a man can no longer work ...and that time is coming soon.
We know Jesus is coming back in the same way that he left. When? At this point the time can be narrowed down based upon what he has given us, but hidden from mankind until recent times. The term "rapture" has been around less than 150 years (I think), and the naysayers have a field day with this. The fact that it hasn't been around long should not surprise us, because the signs of the times has been hidden, reserved for us (the last generation) as was told to Daniel.
The prophetic clock started in 1948 with the returning of the Jews to their home land. Ohhhhh what a firestorm it created among the church. Unfortunately, MANY started setting dates and many listened. At that time little was still understood about the end days, because it was just beginning of the signs of the season. I described that I didn't understand what had happened to me when I got saved. I had to grow and mature in the Lord; I was a babe in Christ. A baby does and thinks like a baby; someone has to wipe its butt for a few years, and clean up its messes for ...well, as long as they're in the same house.
Likewise, I didn't understand algebra in the 5th grade, and physics is still a mystery to me. We must grow and learn.
What have we learned since 1948? Much. We learned not to set a date. Hal Lindsey had a good run for about 18 years, but...
His first error was in setting a date. His second error was that he thought a generation was 40 years. Well, it always was for the Jews. I heard another money grabbing TV preacher say that a generation is 100 years. What does the Bible tell us? It makes me wonder what book they're reading. Psalms 90:10: The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. (I just love the KJV; it's like my granny's cooking.)
To a Jew a generation was 40 years, so why is this verse here? It is prophetic! It's for us. Seventy years is a generation, 80 if we are strong. Listen carefully here: yet is their strength labor (painful) and sorrow (the birth pains we have been feeling close to the end of this generation.) Then it says that this pain is soon cut off and we FLY away!!! Glory be to God! He's coming, and we're flying away.

Brothers, I find if humorous that on a few occasions I've mentioned what is coming next. These are my thoughts and plans; however, as you have seen, I've been led in a different direction. From the beginning of this I knew where I needed to go, but didn't know how I was going to get there ...and still don't. I won't know until I sit down and he reveals to me what to write. He just never gives us the whole plan all at once. Never throughout the the Bible has he done this; his instructions were one step at a time. I have told you about attempting to write, but could not. I do when he makes it known to me.
I have lost my notes on the feast days. The dog may have eaten them, but I'm blaming it on the cat. I'll study more, and I must have needed it. For now, I'll pour out some more.
With "everything", we must filter the incident or situation through what we know about the nature of God and, most paramount, His Word. I know that my place is here on HI; it is the forum that he is using me. If you see me leave, come get me. If I fall, pick me up. The world calls me a sensitive, because of the things I sense. I don't talk much about these things. Some Christians say I have a demon, but the Priests said the same about Christ. Sensitives are sensitive by nature. There's not much self left in me to get offended, but I'm very protective, and will get offended, angry even over an insult of my friends. I say there's not much self in me, but you see me use the pronouns "I and me" often. It's difficult for me to not as I talk mostly about my experiences and thoughts. I'm not trying to teach you about prophecy; I would fail miserably. I'm just crying out from the internet to warn you about the things that are coming. Jesus was the teacher; John was a voice crying out from the wilderness. John wasn't worthy to untie the laces of Jesus' shoes. I'm not even worthy to spell my site name with a "h".
We need to serve one another. We do this by praying, exhortation and even confrontation. It's easy to forget that our battle is not with flesh and blood. It's not with any other person on this site. The evil ones WILL use anything, even the most sincere words they can against someone God is reaching out to. Please remember this. We must resist the urge to save face by lowering self. ...So God can be glorified, and his work continue. We never know what will distract someone from the moving of the Spirit, and we never know what God will use to move them in the right direction. We must watch ourselves always.
I have stuck my neck out on this site, exposed vulnerabilities and confessed sins. We Christians are ambassadors for Christ, but we don't always act like it. We act like the world from where we came. What is saving face or winning an argument if it cost someone's soul? Keep the big picture in mind. The Bible tells us that from many words comes sin. I talk a LOT, and consequently at risk of error a lot. Please(I'm begging you), feel free to let me know if if am drifting from the path the Lord has put me on ...this means kick me in the pants. We must confront our brothers when they error. In our churches, we are responsible to act upon this, especially if we are in any leadership position. The Bible tell us this in Matthew 18:15-17. If we see our brother sin, confront him privately. If he recognizes it and yields to the conviction of the Lord, you have gained a friend. If he does not, take two or three more with you and confront again. If they still refuse, go to the church. If they refuse the urging of the church ...put them out, love them right out the door. A little bit of contamination can be devastating, detrimental even. How many churches do this? LOL, I bet not many, and this is why we see what we see from our churches. The leaders are even becoming blind to this. God's precepts do not change. He tells us these things for good reasons. Yes, love them, but do as we are instructed to do. We will love the progression, health and growth of our church if we confront them and put them out if we must. For NO reason should we promote them to leadership positions even if the world calls it progression. We are not to follow or look like the world. Remember the lukewarm churches mentioned in Revelation. They make him sick and he says he will spit them out. Hot or cold, He wants it no other way.
Most of you guys are excellent watchers. You can identify the smallest signs of deer. I cannot. I'm terrible at it, but these things of the latter days are clear to me. Like a puzzle coming together, the pieces are making a picture.
Gotta go study more

My desire and plan is to attempt to describe what I see, the pieces coming together in this spiritual puzzle of the feast days, the time clock, a great wonder that has never been and will never be again, the rapture, the great delusion, where America fits and its future, the third temple and the things to come for Israel.
God has given 7 feast days. He says they are his feast days. It's interesting to me that there are seven. God is perfect and orderly; everything has its APPOINTED time and place in his plan.
I deeply apologize for well-meaning people who have jumped to conclusions and falsely set dates, falsely represented God and his plan. Great damage has been done to the ministry of Christ. In the Old Testament days, they were ordered to kill such a person. FEAR, fear of the Lord I serve, will cause me to choose my words very carefully. Had God not changed me, molded me, chastised me and put fear in me, I'm confident that I would have been one of them.
I've changed the font on these posts for people who primarily use their phones. If this is too large of a font for anyone, let me know. Please, if you desire any clarity on any part of what I say, I will do my best to explain why I see something a certain way. I'm not good at writing either, but have come a long way by the grace of God. Sit down; at one time I was a man of few words in my writing.
I'd speculate that in someways we have a good representation of America on this site and in someways we're heavily skewed. From a Christian perspective, it may be close to a bell curve, some hot, some cold and some lukewarm. The hot are on fire for the Lord, but we're still human. The cold could be atheist, secular or cultist... It's difficult to tell as many keep these things private or hidden under a lamp shade. These can be steps that I've talked about before, so no offense intended. We're all human and even the hot ones resembled some of these in our past.
The ones my heart really breaks for are those who we and the world would describe as "good people". We have a lot of good guys on this site who are not Christian for several different reasons. I'm confident that some of these good guys will become workers in the field in the last hour and receive the same pay as others who have labored in it for decades. Praise God!
We also have our fair share of scoffers. If not for Woody by God's Grace, the opportunity to cry out for the Lord from the wilderness would not be open.
Looking at this from a spiritual warfare perspective, the evil ones will use this against some of the good guys we love. Some will ignore it all, but God will cause in a few for this seed to fall on good soil. He will! It's for these that I cry out.
I will post some photos too to give a visual aid of what I'm describing. One can find anything on the internet, but as you know there is an argument for every issue. I implore you to pray and look for the guidance from the Holy Spirit to confirm the things I write. This is what I do, and I have been surprised that I was looking at a situation incorrectly. I take breaks while writing to pray for direction, guidance and the words he wants to use. Pray before you read these posts for God to open your eyes to what he wants you to get from any of this. This is his time.
It strikes me odd that those last four words came out. May God strike me dead if the words I'm about to say are not true ...just as it was ordered of the false prophets of old.
In worship service years ago, I remember trying to really focus on praising God from my heart as we sang songs. It was at this time when he says, "This is my time."
I tried even more intently to worship and praise him, but again he says, "This is my time."
Sadness came over me. I thought I was doing all that I could do. I speculate that Peter may have felt similarly when Jesus asked him multiple times if he loved him.
Over these many years since, I have speculated as to what it meant, what he wanted from me. I still wonder. Could it be that this is what he meant? I fear to say one way or another.
The Seven Feast Days
The four spring feast days have already been fulfilled in God's prophetic plan with three fall remaining. The feasts are time markers in his prophetic plan. There's a gap between these last three and the fourth ...interesting.
Passover - Pesach - The Feast of Deliverance
It's the feast of freedom to celebrate the exodus of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt. This was fulfilled at Christ's birth. He was and is the sacrificial Lamb of God.
Unleavened Bread - Chag HaMotzat
This is the exact day that Yeshua (Jesus) was crucified, removing our sins and spiritual leaven forever.
First Fruits - Resi Katzir
It's the beginning of harvest, and Jesus' resurrection is the first fruit of the spiritual harvest.
Pentecost - Shavuot
Some call this the birth of the church when the followers of that time were given the Holy Spirit. However, I hope to show you that it was actually the conception of the church.
Trumpets - Rosh Hashanah
Fellas, this really is a picture of the rapture, which we will discuss further; it's beautiful.
Yom Kippur - Day of Atonement
This is the only day the High Priest could enter the Holy of Holies to call upon the Name of YHVH to sacrifice for all Israel. This day provided prophetic insight to the second coming of the Messiah, restoration of the nation of Israel, and judgement upon the world.
Sukkot - the Feast of Tabernacles
This feast was celebrated at the end of the harvest. It's the last of the feasts given by God.
If I attempted to teach about these feasts, I would have to copy word for word what a Messianic Jew has written. You can find them on the internet, and they are very interesting to read as they will go into great detail. Lev. 23 is the single chapter which sums up all the feasts.
Did you notice that these feast have been fulfilled in chronological order? It's no accident; God is orderly, precise and has an appointed time for their fulfillment.
The Feast of Trumpets is the next one to be fulfilled, so we watch for it. It's very interesting to me that when Paul was writing to the Church, he only mentions the first five. He leaves the final two out. Why? Because we're not going to be here! Praise God.
More coming on the Feast of Trumpets.
correction: Changed the number of feasts talked about by Paul to five, replacing 4. My math was off. LOL

Brothers, I have stumbled upon something today in my studies that seems to close the window significantly. I will explain this as I explain the Feast of Trumpets.
The Feast of Trumpets is the Jewish New Year; It's the seventh new moon of the year, the month of Tishiri. As I understand it, it's the only feast day that starts on the new moon, and the only one that no man knows what day or hour it will start. There are other holidays which start on a new moon, but not thinking any other feast.
Two witnesses from the temple would go watch for the new moon. It had to be witnessed by the human eye. The Jews say that sometimes God hides the start from them, thus the spanning of two days. It has been calculated that it requires 6.2% illumination for the human eye to see. After they saw it, the two witnesses would go back to the temple to inform the Head Priest that it had begun, and the trumpet was blown. There were four different types of blasts, long notes, series of short ones at different times throughout the day totaling 100. The blast of the trumpet is meant to jolt them from their slumber to remember that God is their king.
Brothers, I pray that those of you needing a spiritual jolt will be startled awake as you read this.
This feast day is celebrated as the sixth day of God's creation. Have you ever wondered why God told us that a day with him is like a thousand years with man. Many, and I also subscribe to this thought, that God's plan is for a week of thousand years. The day of rest would represent the Millennial reign. Again, God is orderly and precise in all that he does.
According to Jewish tradition on this feast, the destiny of the righteous are written in the Book of Life. The destiny of the wicked are written in the Book of Death. However, most will not be inscribed in either book, but have 10 days to repent before sealing their fate. At the end of the 10 day period everyone's fate is written in one of these books. This period is called Aseret Yemei Teshuvah, ten days of repentance.
It's this period of 10 days of repentance that struck me so odd as God is orderly and precise; he just didn't choose to round up this number here. I expected it to be 7 days as is the tribulation, 7days of years. It means something significant. So what do I think it means?
First Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. This is the rapture, no think or belief here. It is! When did it happen, at the last trump.
For MANY years now, I have thought that a gap period would be necessary between the rapture and the confirming of a peace treaty. I thought that it would take at least 6 months for things to calm down. Now, lots of prophecy students believe there will be a gap. Recently, I have heard one student, Bill Salus, who believes the breaking of the seals start during this gap. He goes into great detail as to why, and I'm starting to agree with him.
I went outside to pray after reading about the 10 days of repentance, and it seemed an epiphany pointed to a three year gap period. The tribulation is 7 years. One will know when Jesus is coming back to rest his feet on the earth; it will be 7 years after the false covenant is confirmed.
There will be many who do repent and are saved during this gap and in the 7 year tribulation. Unfortunately, many of them must die for that faith. Bill Salus believes Rev. 6:10&11 are those who have been killed during the gap period, these are called the fifth seal saints.
Rev. 6:10-11 They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” 11 Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.
Salus believes these saints want to know how long is will be before God judges the people on earth, the start of the tribulation. They are told to wait a little longer, but were given white robes. The fellow servants are the saints who die in the first half of tribulation and the brothers are in the last half. He explain why, and I'm really starting to see things his way in this matter.
The reason I say this 10 day of repentance has narrowed the window significantly is due to the prophetic clock. Again, it started in 1948. Jesus says that this generation will not pass before ALL these things are fulfilled. We have seen that a generation is 70 years and 80 if strong. It's too late for the 70 year timeline, so let's look at the 80.
1948 +80 = 2028. If we subtract 7 years for the tribulation, we are at 2021. The Tribulation must start before the end of 2021. It could start before, but no later than this. We read that it is not God's desire that any perish, but for all to come to a saving knowledge of his Grace. I believe that God is long suffering as the Bible tells us. I believe he will tarry close to the end of this time.
When first hearing about the GREAT WONDER or sign in the heavens, I wasn't immediately alarmed. I thought, "Well, we still could have a few more years." I'm not thinking so after today.
The bible tells us about signs in the heavens. God says that he put the stars in the heavens to light up the night and for signs. We are told of signs in the heavens in the latter days.
This sign has never been and astrologers say it will never happen again. Is it just a coincidence that it's going to happen on the Feast of Trumpets of this year, Sept 23?
More to come.

I prayed and thought about what I had written yesterday, and had an interesting thought. What if God didn't start his clock at the same time as the watchers? Yes, the state of Israel was official May 14, 1948, but I looked to see when the immigrants first started to arrive. It's God who gathers them back to their home land as he said he would. It appears that he did this starting April 1 1947. Headlines April 1, 1947: First Jewish Immigrants to Israel Disembark at Port of Eliat ....unless this was an April fools joke.
This narrows things to months from now, less than 100 days. This changes things significantly.
The things I wrote yesterday, I had no clue about when I started this thread. Also, if my feast notes hadn't disappeared, I would not have discovered the things I wrote about yesterday. I had to study again, and stumbled upon it.
I'm not setting a date here; I'm asking what if? What if, God's generation clock started in 1947? It really makes more sense to me from a perspective that God is orderly and precise. What if, God has factored in a 3 year gap? ...which makes all logical sense to me considering all the things that must happen before the false covenant. Keep in mind that God had a big picture in mind when he gave the feast days to the Jews, as well as the other things that he told them to do. We see many of them pointing to the redemptive blood of Jesus. There's no doubt in my mind that this 10 days of repentance "following" the feast of trumpets was a latter day symbol.
"IF" these findings are indeed God's plan, then Sept.23, 2017 is VERY significant. All signs would point to the rapture occurring at this time. Instead of subtracting 7 years from 2028, it would be 2027. This would make 2020 the last year that the Tribulation could start. It could start before, but not if the 10 days of repentance is 10 years (3 year gap followed by 7 year trib) in God's prophetic plan. These 10 years will be a time for repentance and many will be saved, but most will be lost. "If" this is the case, the rapture would have to take place in 2017.
Also, this is a Jubilee year, fifty years from the last one when the Jews recovered Jerusalem in the 6 day war. In a Jubilee year, debts were forgiven and land would be returned to it's original owner ...very interesting!
As eluded to earlier, there are more compelling signs. This "Great Wonder" in the heavens was thought to be purely symbolic, but it turns out that it is also a literal convergence of heavenly bodies that happens to be in the exact position described in Rev. 12:1-5 at the end of Tishri 1. The last piece of this convergence is the moon at the feat of the woman. This does not happen until about the 23rd hour ....Oh, that would be about the time of the "last trump." What did Paul say? ...at the last trump...
Are anyone's ears perking up yet?
Let me describe this sign and post a photo of it.
Scottie Clarke, a normal joe Christian, found this convergence in 2011. It was after the publishing of the book about the star of Bethlehem. This book inspired Scottie to look for himself. He stumbled upon the Great Sign that has never been and will never be again. He stumbled nowhere; God led him directly to it. This is the way God works. There are no accidents; there are no coincidences in God's plan.
This is the constellation Virgo (the woman in a horizontal position ...as in giving birth) with Leo adorning or crowning her head. Let's read Rev. 12:1-5:
And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 and she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.
This year 2017 on Sept. 23 this great sign will be in place on the Feast of Trumpets at the last hour and possibly the last trump. Trump is KJV; it's the trumpet blast. I'm old. Again, this alignment has never occurred and never will again. God has hidden this great sign for the last generation, the latter days.
We can see that there are 9 stars from Leo crowning her head. The other three are planets that come into position. A planet is known as a wondering star ...they move. These planets are Mercury, Mars and Venus. She is clothed with the sun, and the moon is under her feet. The exact alignment described in Rev.
Okay, so who are the woman, the man child and the dragon ...hey where is the dragon? It's there; it just doesn't reflect light. We'll address this later.
The woman is Israel. The man child is the church, not Jesus. The dragon is the world order led by Satan himself in the form of the Antichrist.
How do I know this? Well she conceived the church and will give birth to her very soon. If we read on in verse 6 the woman flees to the mountains for 3.5years where God will protect and provide for them just as he did in the desert. Rev. 12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.
Most believe this protective place is Petra, but here is another verse speaking of the same thing. Matthew 24:15-16 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 then let them which be in Judæa flee into the mountains:
These are Jews around the middle of the tribulation; the woman is Israel.
So why do I say she conceived the church? This happened at Pentecost. Salvation came from the Jews, and at one time all Christians were Jewish. Just as the Spirit descended upon Mary to conceive, the Spirit descended and conceived the church. It wasn't the birth; it was the conception. The birth is Rev. 12, and then we are quickly rescued, raptured.
Why isn't the man child Jesus? Well, these things written in Revelation that were shown to John were right now (then) and future Rev. 1. Jesus had been gone for decades. Also, it's corporate, not singular. Jesus has already been caught up, and he went up victoriously! He wasn't being saved from anything. This man child is being rescued from something really bad that seeks to devour it ...us.
Jesus is the head of the church and we are the body, Colossians 1:18 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. The head is out and gone; the body (the church) is coming next. Just like with a natural birth, the head will come out, but it can take a while for the rest of it. Once it gets past the shoulders, it's out!
It's interesting to me that Jupiter entered Virgo though her side like Eve came from Adam. Jupiter spent a long gestation period, 42 week in the body of the woman (Virgo), and then comes out. Remember the generation is 70 years but 80 if we are strong. It was a long gestation period, longer than typical.
You may ask, "But doesn't Jesus rule with a rod of iron?" Yes, but he gives it to us. Rev. 2:26-27 26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27 and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.
Okay, so this sign is written in the middle of the book. If this is a pre-tribulation rapture, why is it here? It's really a good question. For just about all of my years in the faith, I did understand why some would believe in pre and post tribulation raptures, but never did understand the mid tribbers. This explains a lot to me of how they got it. The Bible is so very complex that no person without the leading of the Holy Spirit can understand it. ...it takes the Spirit to understand the things of the Spirit.
There are a couple reasons why I believe in pretrib just focusing on this context, and not all the other arguments that you may have heard. Cross referencing is paramount, especially keeping in mind that God is the true author of this book. He knew exactly what he wanted in it and where. The woman here is crying from pain, the birth pangs ready to deliver the child. Looking at history, it seems this woman has been crying for a very long time. Isaiah is the confirming reference for me.
.
Isaiah 66:7-8 Before she travailed, she brought forth;
before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing?
who hath seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day?
or shall a nation be born at once?
for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
This is God speaking directly through Isaiah. Before she travailed (this is the time of Jacob's trouble, the tribulation), she gave birth. Before the tribulation, the child was snatched away to protect it from the dragon. We're not going to be here fellas. This one I know.
What did she deliver? A man child, the exact same translation as John uses to describe it. Even God asks who had heard such things.
Can a nation be made in one day??? It certainly did, and that nation was Israel; the woman is Israel.
Also, we can look at John's writing style as Scottie points out in one of his earlier videos. The two witnesses appear at the beginning of the Tribulation and witness for 3.5 years, but John doesn't mention them until chapter 11 when he tells of their witness, death and resurrection. However, it's Isaiah who gives the confirmation.
So what does Jon Snow really think?
I think that I have never seen such evidence pointing to an event other than the coming of Christ which was hidden from mankind until after he came. He did tell them, but they didn't understand it. These signs and wonders are powerful and surely point to something significant. However, inside me, the Lord has not given me a confirmation that he is coming at this time. I absolutely know the timeline, but what if he is hiding something from me??? I greatly rely on the presence and moving of the Holy Spirit. Haven't you felt him? I know we are not to trust our feeling, but I'm talking about something different, and cannot explain it to one who doesn't know him. Truly, He has given me a great gift to hear his voice, but he speaks when he wants to. Absolutely, he has on many occasions immediately answered, but also many times he has tarried. He is who he is, and there is no other. No one manipulates him.
What I am looking for from him is that "know that you know that you know". If you know him, you know what I'm talking about even if you've never heard his voice.
If Jesus is coming back on this Feast of Trumpets, he hasn't told me. He's given me signs, new powerful ones, but he is hiding something from me; I know it. I apologize if this is confusing to you, but I'm trying to tell you what I really see. He is blinding me from something, and I'm clueless as to what it is.
I've mentioned to you that I have asked him on several occasions if he was going to let me live to be raptured. He refuses to answer me. I thought, well maybe if I keep bugging him about it like the parable Jesus told, he might tell me. He never did, and I feared what I was doing, so I stopped. I'm not a smart man, but I'm not stupid either.
Brothers, I would not be a bit surprised if he takes me home before the rapture. I am pushing the envelope now. Fifty percent of heart patients like me die within the next 5 years. I'm pushing 4 now, and my case was more on the worse side of those who lived. He had a purpose in keeping me here, and the fruit he brings forth is piling up. A strange feeling in me thinks that this may be the last work he does through me. I don't know, but he is up to something personal with me, and is not revealing it.
SO, I don't know if he's coming back this year or not. I know the signs are compelling, but he doesn't tell me everything.
I AM RINGING THE BELL! HE IS COMING! IT IS SOON! This is all I know.
I am doing what he wanted me to do. I do not want any more blood on my hands. You have been told; I am free from the rest.
The dragon next ...if the good Lord wills. |

The Dragon
I'm assuming that since the rest of this Great Wonder in the heavens is also literal that the dragon is as well. I think little about this dragon as the church is caught up, snatched away from it. Yes, we know that it represents the world order.
The first template was:
Woman - Mary
Child - Jesus
Murderer - Herod
...all singular.
The second template is:
Woman - Israel
Man Child - Church
Dragon - World System led by the antichrist
...all corporate
So what is this dragon in a literal sense? I don't know. LOL No one knows what it is, and if they do they certainly aren't telling us.
Governments have actually learned from the past for once. They learned from Orson Welles and War of the Worlds in 1938 that mankind cannot handle disturbances in their comfy life. Heck, try to buy a gallon of milk 4 hours before a big snow storm hits. Just wait until it really hits the fan.
Here's a photo of what Scottie has found on the subject:
We see here that it is being blocked out. NASA and GoogleSky both have it blocked out. There are photos of it, and it's freaky. It looks like the thing is smiling. Scottie shows it, and you will be able to find it on the link I gave you. It can only be seen with infrared.
Rev. 4 does say that the dragon stands before her, which is exactly what we see here. There is something there, and if it's the dragon, woe unto them who remain. From a literal perspective, it pulls a third of the stars with it's tail and drew them to the earth. Will this be literal? I don't know, but if the wonders are too, it could be.
It's been called Planet X, Nebula and Wormwood. I cannot fathom that it is the wormwood of Revelation that hits the water to destroy 1/3 of all living water creatures and poisons the water. The reason I say this is that purportedly it is 10X planet earth. Possibly a chunk could come flying at earth??? Whatever it is, it causes damage.
Just make sure you're not around to see it.
I'm sure anyone who was interested in it has already looked up Scottie, so I won't spend anymore time on it.
I guess I've been writing to any, but my focus will change to many (not the many I often speak of in Matthew 7). The Bible has made it very clear that narrow is the way. How narrow? Only God knows, maybe 10%. I heard another pole stat recently that 80+% of Americans are Christians. This is laughable. If this were true, America would not be in the condition it is, and is quickly heading.
If you've done much witnessing, you've heard it all. "My dad was a preacher; I was born saved..." It's nothing but lack of knowledge and understanding, false hope. However, I do think many Americans will have a chance to accept the Lord after we're gone, but the great delusion does seem to refute my hopes for this.
My biggest concern is that there will not be much time after we're gone for many, so pray fast. You are going to die anyway. It doesn't take much of an imagination to realize what is going to happen when hundreds of millions of people disappear off the planet. This generation sees no wrong in lawlessness if it supports their ideology. Imagine what it will be like when all hell breaks lose ...literally at some point.
Fellas, this will just be the beginning ...like the first labor pain a woman feels. You are not going to want to see this one.
There will be no place to hide. God is everywhere, and it is He who wills it all. His wrath isn't poured out until later, after the 5th seal, but billions of people will die before it's half over. You may have confidence in your physical condition, survival skills, guns... Confidence in one's self is what made one miss the boat. It's like missing your plane back from Europe and thinking you can swim to America.
When the great earthquake spoken of in Rev hits, even the rich and kings will not be safe in their caves ...bunkers.
The simple truth is that America will not be great again; we had our time. America's fate is to be insignificant on the world stage. The great majority of activity and importance in Rev is across the pond.
When Rev talks about 1/3 of the earth burning, who do you think this is? It's not in the ME; It's not China; It's not Russia. There are future plans for them. America will be a remnant of what it once was. Will it be erased? Probably not, but maybe.
The black plague will be like a runny nose to what is coming. I'm not just thinking stuff here. The Bible tells us that it will be unlike anything the world has ever known.
Why do I think America will be totally insignificant? Matthew 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.
Capernaum is not a metaphor for America. It was a city that the Son of God visited, performed miracles, but they still did not believe. If Sodom had experienced it, they would still be standing Jesus says.
In America, the gospel is available 24 hours a day, but we are still the way we are, pagan, secular. The greater judgement will be here and early.
Jesus didn't come to condemn the world; he came to save it. Rejection of him will see a different side when he returns. He will judge and condemn.
The greatest nation on the earth in the latter days is briefly mentioned as the young lion. It is nothing of importance then ...very soon.
But still yet, the greater percent of Americans will not believe. They will believe the lie that is coming.
I am speaking to the lost here, but the ones who absolutely will not believe anything that I'm saying. I thought, "Lord, I really do not what to do this. I've said all that they need to hear. These will not believe."
So, here I am tapping away.
I must admit that I felt a bit like Jonah being told to go to Nineveh. "I don't want to go there." This was the only sign Jesus gave the Priest and Pharisees, and they still did not believe.
If my attitude in writing style changes, you know why.
When Jesus tells a story and says that heaven is like, it's a story that man can relate to. When he mentions names, the story is real and relevant. Remember the rich man who sees Lazarus with Abraham from a tormenting place. Since he could get no relief from a drop of water, he asks:
Matthew 16:27-31 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
I know there is at least one whom God will awaken from reading this thread. God does not cause me to labor in vain. I bet right now you know who you are. However, there are many who will not believe the things I have said, and wouldn't even if I came back from the dead to tell them ...Hey, I did! The ones I focus on now are those who do not believe, but will remember when they see it with their own eyes. To God be the Glory for his mercy that he will still reach out to those left behind ...not mercy on your life, just your soul. You're going to die.
AWAKEN you slumbering brother! May got ignite a fire under the lukewarm. Know that your compromising ways to please the world makes him sick and he will spit you from his mouth. And for those to whom I now speak, may the heat of the Holy Spirit burn within you that you will know that you are lacking and fall short of his Glory when you witness the things that are to come.
The Great Delusion next.

The Lord does work differently in his children and in the way he woos the lost. It is the same Spirit as Paul says. We learn as we mature to not cast stone as we really do not know what the Lord is doing in a person's life.
People will take these post differently and the Lord will use them differently. Who am I to question it?
I have a dear brother in Christ who is an Orthodox Christian, an eastern block religion. The national religion in Russia. I listen to him carefully, and even though I see many differences, I see the same Spirit in him. He sees the same Spirit in me. Some things he speaks of are way out there, but have nothing to do with his eternal salvation. Even though I have found no biblical support of what he said, I've not been compelled to question it.
He told me once of a dream where a saint showed him his three children. He only had two at the time. He did seem a bit concerned over it. I've never had any encounter with any passed saint and I'm a sensitive. I have one intercessor and that is Christ Jesus as the Bible tells me. How do I know that God doesn't show him something through a passed saint, and what is it to me? When he saw him in his dream, he knew who the saint was. I must say that it seemed odd to me.
It couldn't have been long after that dream that his wife did conceive although he mentioned nothing to me until two weeks before the birth. He is in his early 50s and didn't want anymore children, and certainly didn't think he could afford another one.
We are different. God has made us this way. He interacts differently with us, but if it is of God, it is the same Spirit.
I want to tell you what the Lord was blocking from me, but please don't take it to mean anything to worry about. Possibly you have never experienced interactions with the Lord as he does me. The things I speak of may seem very strange to you. It's all I know, so it's common with me. I'm lost without it. I know when he is doing something in me. I knew he was blocking something as it seemed a hand in front of my mind's eyes. The things I wrote at the time, I would not have written in the way I did had he not blocked my site. I stand by everything I said the way I said it. He is purposeful in all his actions.
Because he has made me to be sensitive to his presence and interaction, there is a comfort in it. I fear if it changes. I know who butters my bread and keeps me safe. I know my feelings and some I do not trust. Some of you may not have a clue what I'm talking about, but this is okay too. I have a friend who seems to be as far from a sensitive as a person can be, but very devout. God has given him the Grace to be a witness for him based on his vast knowledge and discipline. Our paths are different, but the same Spirit leading us to the same place.
Before this thread, I can't remember mentioning anything about being a sensitive. Some will freak out totally, but think little of it as I do. I believe that the way he made me to hear him causes other things to slip through as well. I do not embrace it, and am able to block most of it out. It's like I walk around with a force field around me, but one that cannot keep the Lord out.
I was talking with my wife when the Lord gave me the peace and clarity that I sought, the know that you know that you know. I had an uncanny peace before this, I just knew he was blocking something. Well, this drives me crazy like a kid a Christmas with presents under the tree. I thought of what it could be, but with my lotto story, I knew I would not be able to figure it out until he made it known to me.
I really thought that he might take me home before the rapture, because I don't see myself as worthy to experience it. He kept Moses from entering the promised land, but he did let him see it. I in no way see myself as a Moses, John or any other. I see myself as the least of you all, because he has put my sins so clearly before me and against his righteousness. I see a wretched man, unworthy.
If there are mansions in heaven, which there are not, I want to be homeless. I deserve to sit under the feast table eating your scrapes. Look for me under there and toss me something every once in a while.
No, it wasn't that I won't live to see it. I think I will now, but he could change his mind.
Sometimes I look at my wife and think, "That's the most illogical thing I've ever heard in my life." Then from the same mouth, it seems that God is speaking directly through her, pure genius, supernatural incite even. Keep in mind that God did talk from a donkey once. LOL
Anyway, we were talking about Trey as we often do. Then like an illuminated light bulb, I knew. Had we known that we were only going to have Trey with us for four months, we would have done things much differently. We wouldn't have enjoyed life with him. We would have been sad the entire time, unfruitful. Everything we did was the way we were supposed to do it.
Think nothing of Sept. 23, as I think of it no differently than today. Mostly because God has given me the grace to do this. I have no fear, no anxiety, no excitement even. It is just another day as he wants it to be to me. It is only by his grace that I can do this. I strongly feel his enabling grace upon me. If I knew it were that day, I would not tell you. I've shown you the signs, converging signs, cross referencing signs as was meant for me to do. How he uses them in you is not for me to be concerned with.
I know what I must do; I know the direction I must write; I know the audience I'll will be writing to. It may be none of you.
For believers, it is not necessary that you know anymore than what I have told you. There is nothing to be anxious for, nothing to fear. Keep your oil lambs full and trim your wicks now for the day of the Lord is at hand; the place he went to prepare is almost complete. It lacks a bride. Are you available?
very good read dennis thank you! |

Don't miss my last post the dragon.
The Great Delusion:
2 (second) Thessalonians 2: 7-12 For the secret of this lawlessness is already at work, but only until the person now holding it back gets out of the way. 8 Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will destroy with the breath of his mouth, rendering him powerless by the manifestation of his coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous signs, lying wonders, 10 and every type of evil to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them. 11 For this reason, God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie. 12 Then all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.
This lawless one, the son of perdition is the Antichrist. He will not be revealed and maybe can not be revealed until the Spirit is taken out. With the Spirit in us we will fight and resist this movement. We see it now, but we are quickly being outnumbered.
Even Obama mentioned once that if these people weren't in our way ...the things we could do. He was probably speaking from a political perspective ...unless it was prophetic and he didn't know it.
Regardless, he's right. With us out of the way, Satan will be free to move as he will. Woe unto the earth for Satan has been cast down to you and he knows his time is short.
Revelation 12:12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
So Christians will be removed, caught up and snatched away, so he can do what he does.
Why does God let him do these things?
We just read it in 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 Then all who have not believed the truth but have taken pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.
Because people have rejected him, his free gift, they will be condemned and get what they chose. They have been told and have no excuse ...especially Americans. Know that never getting around to accepting Christ is the same as rejecting him.
During the past election, I told Ella that those kids had no idea what they were asking for. Same for the unbeliever, they do NOT know what they are choosing ...or rejecting.
We will not play pin the tail on the Antichrist here. He is who he is and can only speculate now. After we're gone, he will raise his ugly head to lead the one world government ..and this may take a few years to manifest. His wrath will be focused on Jews and Christians, those who just cannot believe now, but will when they see it with their own eyes.
Realize that you have a target on your back if you become a believer in that time. ...it feels like we have one now, and do in the ME.
For the reason of their disbelief, God will send a powerful, great delusion that the world will believe a lie. So great, that even the most elect would believe if it were possible. It's not possible, because we will not be here.
What is this great delusion? I've known and thought about it for decades. It has become more clear as the time gets closer; however, it's still just a speculation on my part. Whatever it is, it's a dooosy.
I have mentioned before that I believe it has something to do with Aliens. When the books "Left Behind" came out it was blamed of some vague source of radiation. If those books were written now, it would probably be Aliens.
Radiation isn't a great enough lie. We are lied to everyday, but this one will be almost impossible to not believe ...why? Because I believe they see it with their own eyes. God says he sends the delusion. I really wouldn't be a bit surprised if he comes to get us in a monstrously big UFO. Possibly a lot of them all over the world. It will be on every news channel, and the world will believe the lie from the delusion.
If he doesn't do this, I believe they show up shortly after. The greater delusion in my finite human mind would be them seeing us be taken.
If you can think of a better delusion for this time in the world, I'd love to hear it.
The Governments will release all the information that they been concealing from us, and it will be confirmed in the minds of the people.
What they really are, the aliens, I can certainly write much about it, but not sure that this is the path for me now. I can start something else if anyone is interested, but it's not my purpose here.
The world is primed for this delusion. Shortly after the first Jewish immigrants arrived in Israel, Roswell happened and the conditioning began. There is a spiritual warfare going on, actively everyday.
Look at the election of Trump. I hoped that it would help to make America great again, but I've seen and learned a lot since then. The pure hatred, rebellion and lawlessness for ideology since the very election day is unlike anything we've seen in our lifetime, and the left supports it.
What if Trump really is a baby Christian, and also gets taken. They'll think the unfit were all taken to be reprogrammed or just not worthy to experience what they have planned for the world. It won't matter who is next in line to lead; the constitution will surely be out the window at this point. They'll carry Obama back to the White House to lead them. If Trump isn't a Christian, they will do a Gaddafi on him and his family ...guaranteed.
The world is being primed for what is coming. How much do the world leaders and even Antichrist know at this point isn't clear to me. They may just see everything in an ideological way. The Antichrist is just a human at this point with Satan pulling his strings. Not until he suffers a fatal wound and is resurrected does Satan fully enter him and claim to be God.
to be continued...

I really enjoy thinking about and talking about different scenarios that could happen. I enjoy thinking and talking about things that the Bible is vague on. I guess the more important a subject is the greater the debate or the more it is debated.
We've heard all these things many times if we've been a Christian very long or around the ministry. Sometimes it can become very spiritually unhealthy. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if people have been shot from a heated debate on baptism, so this can also be physically unhealthy. LOL
I really think some people just like to argue as some people like to fight. Some people do like the challenge of a bar or street fight. If we examine the motive or spirit behind this, what do we see? We see a lot of self ...how strong I am ...how smart I am.. In the church, we see a lot of "how good I am." The Bible tells us to try or test the spirit to see where it is from. When I hear things, and especially say something, I like to examine it. It's this close examination that I'm talking about when I say we must look in the mirror. No man has ever secured his eternal destiny with the Lord without it. The priests prayed that they thanked God that they weren't like other men, and Jesus called them hypocrites, and sons of the Satan.
Controlling self is our BIGGEST challenge. If you won the fight or argument, you've probably lost the spiritual battle. Jesus lowered himself to become man. He is our example. The battle is inside us.
I was witnessing to a fella this week who told me that he knew the Lord. Later in the discussion, he tells me that he will meditate for hours at a time by repeating the same thing over and over. That same thing that he repeated started with these words, "I am awesome..."
Test that spirit to see where it is from. The Son of God was awesome, and never started out a prayer this way or said these things. It was about denying himself to glorify the Father.
A big self will most likely find themselves being left behind.
The GREATEST thing he ever taught me was that I am nothing but what he made me to be, and that I can do nothing for him or his ministry without him.
It is so easy for me to forget my audience, and I really do not know who this is. So more importantly here, I need to remember for whom I'm speaking.
It can be an enlightening experience to study other biblical books and resources, but it also can have a negative impact. We must keep in mind what is canonized scripture and what is not. This does not mean that we shouldn't study them, but they will never trump the Bible.
I mentioned the Jewish customs surrounding the given feast day of Trumpets, and from this I got what confirms in me a gap period. I MUST clarify that I find no evidence of supporting a gap theory in the Bible. This does not mean that there won't be one, but it certainly should have no impact on our walk with him.
I think about this stuff all the time. Where I always question myself is how is what I'm saying being perceived by another. I'm clueless in a forum like this.
Then I asked myself, "Has my walk with the Lord changed since learning about the Great Wonder in the heavens?" No is hasn't, but for some it may. If anything causes us to walk more closely with the Lord, it should be a good thing, but this isn't necessarily so. The Muslims are taught from their Quran that it is okay to lie if it promotes their faith ...maybe this is how that came up with the 73 virgins or whatever it is for killing themselves???
I mentioned in the beginning that "time" was a weapon that can be used against us, and it is. Has just the thought of not much time changed our relationship with him? Unless we are walking with him exactly where he wants us, it should change us. Brothers, I want to walk as if he is coming back today!
If we think any other way, we can drift. This battle is a daily battle. It doesn't take very long for us to look like the world we live in. I want this to be an awakening, but an awakening that he might come today and not three months from now or three years from now, and I believe any of these are possible.
What I really think does not matter.
Absolutely, terrible things are coming, things that have never been, horrific events that dwarf any other. We know this because our Bible tells us. When? All we really know is that we are in the season; we are the last generation. This alone should awaken us. This alone should cause us to work more diligently for the Lord by letting him work through us. Yes, a long distance runner will pace himself for much of the race, but sprint towards the finish line. The finish line is ahead of us, and it's close enough to be sprinting. This is all we need to know.
For those who reject Christ, I pray these things are brought to your remembrance when you see the great delusion. It's your only hope at that point.
I'm finished.

Dennis, check this out. Another sign from 1893 & 1896. thefederalistpapers.org/us/1800s-books-on-baron-trumpThe book, "Baron Trump's Marvelous Underground Journey", by Ingersoll Lockwood, came out in 1893. It's about a boy named Baron Trump who can time travel. His next book was called "The Last President", of which the president had a cabinet member named Pence. The entire text of both booths are posted in the two links below. archive.org/stream/barontrumpsmarve00lock#page/n6/mode/1up archive.org/details/1900orlastpresid00lock |

The entire text of both booths are posted in the two links below. archive.org/stream/barontrumpsmarve00lock#page/n6/mode/1up archive.org/details/1900orlastpresid00lock I'll check it out Tom. Thanks! We are most definitely in the last days. For over 1800 years, the Jews were scattered around the world. God preserved that land for them and made it a waste land until he brought them back into it. Mark Twain visited there and said it was a desolate place void of color. It is the one absolute, indisputable sign that Jesus' return is soon. The only debate now is, "What is a generation?" Some say a generation is 40 years, because the Jews were in the desert for 40 years. This does not equate as Jesus did not come back. If we divide the generations into the years that is mentioned in the Bible, it's like 52 years ...something like that. Matthew 1:17. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations. Then Psalms 90:10 says a generation is 70 years, 80 if they are strong. Some do say 100 years, but I'm clueless as to where they get it. Jesus said that as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man. God gave Noah 120 years to build the ark before the flood came. Well, 120 years ago 1897, Theodor Herzl created the first Zionist Congress and claims that he founded the Jewish State. He is known as the father of the State of Israel. One hundred years ago 1917 was the Balfour Declaration for Israel. This was a Jubilee year ...every 50 years Seventy years ago 1947, the UN General Assembly voted to create Israel. The next Jubilee was 1967 when the Jew's reclaimed Jerusalem. The next Jubilee year is now, 2017 with the arrival of the Great Wonder in the Heavens. God is precise and orderly. Something big this way comes, but we'll have to wait to see what it is. The generation to see the gathering of God's people back to the land he promised them is quickly ending. He will not be mocked; He is coming soon. |
