Will The Sun Scorch Us Soon?

I rarely discuss the Revelation Bowls/Vials, because—based on my time line—they occur so late during the seven years, that the Vials are merely one more judgment. Today, I found more evidence for the Fourth Bowl/Vial, so let’s discuss it.

My premise, as always, is that the Revelation Seals are opening, like birth pangs, since 1985. By late 2015, all the Seals should be open. The first Four Trumpets affect everyone, and the last Three Trumpets and all of the Seven Bowls/Vials affect only the wicked—ten judgments in total on just the wicked.  

By the time of the Fourth Bowl/Vial, which I guess will occur in late 2020; you will know who is godly, and who is wicked. We’ll assess the circumstances from the Third Bowl/Vial, so you can see that “They” is directed toward the wicked.  

The third one poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they turned to blood. Then I heard the angel of the waters say, "O HaKadosh, the One who is and was, you are just in these judgments of yours. They poured out the blood of your people and your prophets, so you have made them drink blood. They deserve it!" Then I heard the altar say, "Yes, ADONAI, God of heaven's armies, your judgments are true and just!" The fourth one poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was permitted to burn people with fire. People were burned by the intense heat; yet they cursed the name of God, who had the authority over these plagues, instead of turning from their sins to give him glory.  Revelation 16:4-9 (CJB)

News Flash 7.30.2013: A chunk of the sun is headed toward the earth (Please note that these types of solar events are frequent; however, solar activity is on the rise.). Could an event like this cause the Fourth Bowl/Vial?

Do We Have The Right To Confront Other Christians?

Lately, I’ve been struggling with confronting Christians in my Bible studies, and other acquaintances. I’m not looking for problems; however, the issues are coming in waves. The issues are: Smart devise/technology creeping on others, inappropriate touching, inappropriate advances, invoking inappropriate pejoratives, inciting fear into groups by introducing unsubstantiated conspiracy theories (I call “Black Helicopter” gibberish) and more. I know that I need to address the issues.  

In business there are always issues. In business, people that don’t confront problems early, often lose their customers. In my business career, my unique ability to confront issues, and resolve them positively, separates me from other business people. HaShem knows that I’m a confrontational person; however, do I have the right to confront someone about their sins, when I’m a sinner too?

Let me be the first to assert that I am an exceptional sinner. I fight the same battles that everyone else fights. While confrontation makes my business career soar, personal confrontation sucks the air out of one’s sails.

What does the Bible tell us about confronting Christians? Here is a valid biblical commentary.

NO More SPINELESS CHRISTIANITY!!  by J. Lee Grady          

http://www.charismamag.com/blogs/fire-in-my-bones/17871

The apostle Paul not only confronted sin but named specific sins when he preached. Why can´t we?

People often complain about angry preachers. I don´t like them either, and I agree that if a person mixes a sermon with hateful language (or if he believes God has called him to picket other churches), he´s in the wrong profession. Yet today we´ve jumped to the opposite extreme. Now we are afraid to confront sin.

We can´t preach about materialism because we might offend rich people in the audience-as well as the poor people who buy Lotto tickets every week. We can´t preach about fornication because there are people in the church who are living together. We can´t preach about domestic violence because there are deacons who sometimes hit their wives. We can´t preach about homosexuality because our culture says it´s hateful to call that a sin.

And the list goes on. In fact, some preachers are avoiding the word sin altogether because it´s too negative. And we all know that the latest polls show people want a positive message.

This temptation to dilute the gospel has produced a new recipe for a trendy sermon. We start with some great motivational speaking ("Your past does not define your future!"), add a few quarts of cheap grace ("Don´t focus on your sin!"), pour in some prosperity gospel ("Run to this altar and grab your financial breakthrough!"), flavor it with some trendy pop psychology ("It´s all about you!") and voila!-you end up with a goopy mess of pabulum that not even a baby Christian could survive on.

I´ve often wondered how the apostle Paul would view our "positive" American gospel. Just before he was martyred, Paul gave his spiritual son Timothy clear instructions on how to keep his message on track. He said, "Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction" (2 Tim. 4:2, NASB).

We´ve rewritten Paul´s words today. Our rule is, "Preach what the people want to hear! Avoid controversy! Stroke, soothe and pacify the people so they will come back next week!" Is it any wonder that this low-protein spiritual diet has produced an anemic church?

Paul´s preaching in the first century was unquestionably confrontational. He didn´t hold back from addressing sin, nor was he afraid to call sin what it is. Paul knew that a spineless Christianity would produce spineless Christians. He told Timothy that biblical preaching would require three brave verbs:

Reprove. The Greek word here, elegcho, means "to convict, admonish or expose" or "to show one his fault." The word can also mean "to scold" or "to reprimand." Anyone who has ever beenon the receiving end of a mother´s discipline knows that reproof can be the purest form of love.

Rebuke. The word epitimao means "to admonish strongly" or "to charge strictly." The English definition means "to express sharp, stern disapproval." And the origin of the word means "to beat orstrike." I´m not talking here about a preacher who beats people with the Bible. Screaming at people is not biblical rebuke. But when was the last time you felt the Holy Spirit strike you in your conscience during a sermon?

Exhort. This is the gentlest of the three words. Parakaleo can be used to mean "to comfort" or "to call alongside." It´s the same root word used to describe the Holy Spirit, who is our Comforter. True biblical preaching not only exposes sin and warns us of its consequences, but it calls us to reach out to God for help to overcome our weakness. When we challenge sin we must provide a means of grace for deliverance and healing.

Paul was also not afraid to name sins. I recently did a survey of all of Paul´s epistles to see how he addressed sexual immorality. I discovered that he confronted sexual sin head-on in 10 of his 13 epistles. He boldly called out adultery, fornication, sensuality and homosexuality in a culture that was saturated in hedonism.

After exhorting the Thessalonians to practice abstinence, he rebuked them sternly by saying that anyone who opposes God´s laws about sex "is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you" (1 Thess. 4:8). Those are strong words. They need to be repeated in our pulpits today.

Paul wasn´t trying to win any popularity contests, and his comments about sex would get him blacklisted today if he tried to buy airtime. Yet when he penned those tough words, he was speaking from God´s heart-with love-under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to all of us.

It´s time for us to grow a backbone. Let´s get rid of weak Christianity, spineless preachers and jellyfish morals. Let´s preach the message of the Bible instead of a neutered version. Let´s not only point out sin but also point people to the only hope they have of overcoming it-our strong Savior, whose death on the cross was the ultimate confrontation of sin.

My opinion: Pray over everything, and confront someone when HaShem gives you a clear mandate. As the times become increasingly wicked, you will need to confront something or someone. Let HaSham pick your battles.

What Does Tehom Sound Like?

There are many references to the Deep/Abyss/Tehom in the Bible; yet, we don’t fully understand its significance. Is Tehom Hell? No, because Hell hasn’t been created yet. Is Tehom a place for imprisoned Nephilim (sons of the fallen angels, the ancient giant’s) spirits? Possibly, but we’re not sure why these spirits exist and why they would be imprisoned in Tehom. Sometimes the Bible leaves much to the imagination. Tehom is one of those vague biblical issues. Here is my midrash.

What is Tehom?

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was unformed and void, darkness was on the face of the deep (Tehom), and the Spirit of God hovered over the surface of the water. Genesis 1:1-2 (CJB)

Where is Tehom?

This is why it says, "After he went up into the heights, he led captivity captive and he gave gifts to mankind." Now this phrase, "he went up," what can it mean if not that he first went down into the lower parts, that is, the earth? Ephesians 4:8-9 (CJB)

Is Tehom lower than Sheol?

Many will follow their debaucheries; and because of them, the true Way will be maligned. In their greed they will exploit you with fabricated stories. Their punishment, decreed long ago, is not idle; their destruction is not asleep! For God did not spare the angels who sinned; on the contrary, he put them in gloomy dungeons lower than Sh'ol to be held for judgment. And he did not spare the ancient world; on the contrary, he preserved Noach, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, and brought the Flood upon a world of ungodly people. II Peter 2:2-5 (CJB)

Who is imprisoned in Tehom?

For the Messiah himself died for sins, once and for all, a righteous person on behalf of unrighteous people, so that he might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but brought to life by the Spirit; and in this form he went and made a proclamation to the imprisoned spirits, to those who were disobedient long ago, in the days of Noach, when God waited patiently during the building of the ark, in which a few people — to be specific, eight — were delivered by means of water. This also prefigures what delivers us now, the water of immersion, which is not the removal of dirt from the body, but one’s pledge to keep a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. I Peter 3:18-21 (CJB)

Are disobedient spirits, originally called the Nephilim, imprisoned in Tehom?

The N'filim were on the earth in those days, and also afterwards, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them; these were the ancient heroes, men of renown. ADONAI saw that the people on earth were very wicked, that all the imaginings of their hearts were always of evil only. ADONAI regretted that he had made humankind on the earth; it grieved his heart. ADONAI said, "I will wipe out humankind, whom I have created, from the whole earth; and not only human beings, but animals, creeping things and birds in the air; for I regret that I ever made them." Genesis 6:4-7 (CJB)

Why are the Nephilim imprisoned in Tehom?

God reserved heaven, I call it Gan Eden, for the righteous; and he reserved hell, I call it Sheol, for the unrighteous. Where do you place the spirits of hybrid children that can’t go to either place? I submit that HaShem chose Tehom as a prison for these disobedient spirits.

I’m building a case that—as the Tehom is opening gradually around the world—you will hear it and sense the evil lurking underground. It’s possible that scorpion-like creatures will emerge from Tehom by 2018-2019, as the Fifth Trumpet sounds. I submit that we are beginning to hear the frightening sounds from Tehom.

Are there rules for Tehom imprisonment?

When an unclean spirit comes out of a person, it travels through dry country [Tehom] seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says to itself, `I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house standing empty, swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they come and live there -- so that in the end, the person is worse off than he was before. This is how it will be for this wicked generation." Matthew 12:43-45 (CJB)

If the foundations of Deep [Tehom] are breaking-up, what does Tehom Sound like (6 minute mark)?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOM1DiNvVlE

This is what you may hear:

The fifth angel sounded his shofar; and I saw a star that had fallen out of heaven onto the earth, and he was given the key to the shaft leading down to the Abyss. He opened the shaft of the Abyss, and there went up smoke from the shaft like the smoke of a huge furnace; the sun was darkened, and the sky too, by the smoke from the shaft. Then out of the smoke onto the earth came locusts, and they were given power like the power scorpions have on earth. They were instructed not to harm the grass on the earth, any green plant or any tree, but only the people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads. The locusts were not allowed to kill them, only to inflict pain on them for five months; and the pain they caused was like the pain of a scorpion sting. In those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. Now these locusts looked like horses outfitted for battle. On their heads were what looked like crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces. They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions. Their chests were like iron breastplates, and the sound their wings made was like the roar of many horses and chariots rushing into battle. They had tails like those of scorpions, with stings; and in their tails was their power to hurt people for five months. They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is "Abaddon" and in our language, "Destroyer." Revelation 9:1-11 (CJB)

Why I'm Usually Wrong, And HaShem Is Always Correct.

Please watch this video, to learn that disasters from the sun is always two or three days away.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQTh9wfFwG4&feature=em-subs_digest

I can't predict sunspots and CME's (Coronal Mass Ejections). I'm positing that HaShem will determine when disasters occur, not me. I will monitor the disasters, and provide commentary.

My opinion: Events will escalate as we head towards the fall. expect the unexpected!

Shalom!

Moore's Law Transcends, Regardless Of What you See In The Natural.

I may be wrong; however, our rapid technological advances can’t allow us to advance past 2030.

Many of you know that I sell software technology, specifically document management, during my work hours. I can tell you that—within years—I can predict your behaviors. I will be a “Pre-Cog,” based on the power of my software. My technology is increasing in power and scope geometrically. My opinion is that we can’t survive past 2030, based upon Moore’s Law.
Moore’s Law is based on technology doubling every 1.5 years.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law

Moore's law is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years. The period often quoted as "18 months" is due to Intel executive David House, who predicted that period for a doubling in chip performance (being a combination of the effect of more transistors and their being faster).[1]

The law is named after Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore, who described the trend in his 1965 paper.[2][3][4] The paper noted that the number of components in integrated circuits had doubled every year from the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 until 1965 and predicted that the trend would continue "for at least ten years".[5] His prediction has proven to be uncannily accurate, in part because the law is now used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development.[6]

The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore's law: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras.[7] All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well (see Other formulations and similar laws). This exponential improvement has dramatically enhanced the impact of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy.[8] Moore's law describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.[9][10]

Although this trend has continued for more than half a century, Moore's law should be considered an observation or conjecture and not a physical or natural law. Sources in 2005 expected it to continue until at least 2015 or 2020.[note 1][12] However, the 2010 update to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors has growth slowing at the end of 2013,[13] after which time transistor counts and densities are to double only every three years.

My Opinion: Even though nothing is occurring that leads you to believe that the end of the world is fast-approaching—we’re at the doorstep. Don’t lose faith in my message, that the Messiah is returning soon. Please stick with my message for a few more months. We’re that close. The Year 2015 will be a game-changer. Expect intelligent drones by 2015.

“What the Department of Homeland Security became under Janet Napolitano is this monstrous surveillance and very intimidating group,” said Rutherford Institute President John Whitehead, a constitutional attorney for the past 40 years and author of “A Government of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State.”

“I think originally there were some good intentions with the Department of Homeland Security, but what happened under President Obama is that it accelerated rapidly,” Whitehead told WND. “I criticized George Bush’s policies. Under President Obama, we’re zooming.”

Whitehead said the Napolitano legacy of reducing freedom is evident across the board, starting in early 2009 when the department issued a report listing returning soldiers as one of the greatest threats to American security.

“Another program Napolitano set up is Operation Vigilant Eagle, which is a surveillance system done on all returning veterans from overseas, where they watch Facebook posts, text messages, emails of returning veterans to see if they’re going to be disgruntled,” Whitehead said. “There are quite a few disgruntled veterans. In fact, one that we helped just filed a major lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.”

“They arrived one day at his door, arrested him and actually put him in a mental institution for his Facebook posts criticizing the government. We got him out and then we sued the government,” Whitehead said.

Another outrage, according to Whitehead, is the harassment of Americans living on or somewhat near our national borders with Mexico and Canada. He said law-abiding citizens have been forced to hand over their laptops while the government officials download the information. The Rutherford Institute has also received reports of Americans being removed from their cars and searched without probable cause.

These allegations, and criticism of drone use near the borders, come as Congress hotly debate immigration reform legislation. Whitehead said the problems he’s talking about have nothing to do with border security.

“The people coming over from Mexico are not coming over at checkpoints. Incredibly stupid, and that’s where a lot of emphasis has been placed,” Whitehead said. “Obviously, they’re not focused in the right direction. They put drones on the border but the drones obviously have not been very effective. In fact, what we found our about those drones now, on the Canadian border, turned the drones in. They’re flying inland, photographing and watching what American citizens are doing and surveillance on American towns.”

Whitehead said that sort of activity will only get more common and more intrusive until the American people stand up and refuse to accept what he considers a major infringement on our constitutional liberties.

“Drones are coming in 2015. They’re going to be awesome. They’ll have scanning devices, rubber bullets, sound cannons. They can look through the walls of your home,” Whitehead said. “They’re just going to bypass the Fourth Amendment, and they already are doing that.”

A change at the top of DHS doesn’t give Whitehead any hope that the government will rein in its activities. He says potential replacements, like New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, will likely be no different from Napolitano.

Shalom!

Calm Before The Storm: Which North Pole Is Melting? Why Are Storms Surging Backward?

Over the last few weeks, world events have been typical—more akin to typically bad than good—however; world events have had no pattern. No recent world event, or series of events, clearly presents an end of the world scenario. Rumors of war are ever-increasing. Escalated rioting could begin at any time. Natural disasters are more frequent and more destructive. Our world financial system could free-fall at any minute. Yet, none of the recent world events link together into a discernible pattern.

There is enough uncertainty, that a trained eschatologist might doubt himself. I do doubt my research at times; however, I never doubt that the Messiah will return soon.

What puzzles me is that I don’t see a pattern…yet. Maybe by the time of the Jewish Fall Festivals we'll notice a pattern. I know that somebody is fomenting multiple revolutions. I know that Trayvon Martin's father was Illuminati. Is Illuminati-inspired revolution the pathway to a New World Order?

Here are a few updates in the mean time.

The North Pole Has Melted. Again.

http://news.yahoo.com/north-pole-melted-again-221704292.html

The Atlantic Wire by Eric Levenson

In what has now become an annual occurrence, the North Pole's ice has melted, turning the Earth's most northern point into a lake. Call it Lake North Pole. To be clear, the water surrounding the pole is not seawater seeping up from the ocean but melted icewater resting on top of a thinning layer of ice below the surface. "It’s a shallow lake. It’s a cold lake. But it is, actually, a lake," writes William Wolfe-Wylie of Canada.com.

That lake started to form on July 13 during a month of abnormally warm weather — temperatures were 1-3 degrees Celsius higher than average in the Arctic Ocean this month — and has come to stretch a significant distance, though not out of the camera's range. In addition, the water is likely to get worse over the coming week, as an expected Arctic cyclone's strong winds and rain will loosen the ice coverage even further.

My opinion: Where you expect to see frozen arctic tundra, there is now a lake. Something is causing the North Pole to melt. Is the cause Al Gore’s version of global warming, or is it cosmic warming? My contention is that the North Pole is shifting quickly, due to cosmic warming. We can’t control increasing CME’s (Coronal Mass Ejections) and aurora borealis, any more than we can change the temperature of Mars. Thus, we should see a lake forming at the North Pole, due to increased CME’s from the sun.

We can prove that the new North Pole is moving quickly. Could it's movement be linked to this new lake? I don't know.

Unusual Storm System Moving Backwards Across United States…

http://www.theweatherspace.com/2013/07/14/unusual-storm-system-moving-backwards-across-united-states-through-end-week/

 

An unusual storm system is over Oklahoma and Texas at this time, causing severe thunderstorms and much needed rainfall to the dry areas of both states.

A low pressure system that started in the Eastern United States has retrograded under a ridge of high pressure to the north over the last couple of days.  This system is moving from east to west, which is extremely unusual for this hemisphere.  We’ve seen these move east to west for a short period of time, but this one will make it to Southern California by the time it weakens.

The upper level system is known as an easterly wave, however I’d like to call it a super easterly wave based on the distance it is going to travel.  This particular system will have traveled from one side of the country to the other once it has stopped moving west, diving from there into Mexico, gathering up monsoonal moisture to be put into Nevada and Southern California later in the week into next week.

Rainfall estimations across parts of Central Texas could be over 2-4″ of rain, with more rain (above 6+” possible in parts of South-Central Texas.  Severe storms, including tornadoes, hail, and damaging winds will be possible from Texas, New Mexico, and parts of Arizona through the next few days.

Storms deliver triple digit winds, hail nearly 5 inches in diameter, street flooding
http://blogs.kansas.com/weather/2013/07/24/storms-deliver-triple-digit-winds-hail-nearly-5-inches-in-diameter-street-flooding/#storylink=cpy

As sunrise brings fresh light to the aftermath of strong storms in southern Kansas from Tuesday night, authorities are beginning to assess the toll.

Hail as large as baseballs was reported in east Hutchinson, according to Reno County Emergency Management. Winds estimated as high as 100 miles an hour were reported in southern Reno County near Pretty Prairie. The town itself was hit hard by hail and strong winds, knocking down trees and blocking streets.

Would You listen To Jeremiah If He Described The USA’s Free Fall? Mark Biltz Video

The Dire Straits means it is the season (Moedim) for Woes. While every aspect of the world’s and the USA’s systems are failing, what should you do? I recommend reading Jeremiah, and then reading Isaiah. Why? The woes described by Jeremiah are eerily similar to what befalls us today. Jeremiah will help you see the world from HaShem’s perspective, and Isaiah will help comfort you (The three Dire Straits Jeremiah hafTorah passages are followed by seven Isaiah passages of comfort during the annual Torah cycle).

The USA isn’t eretz (the land of) Israel. However, in 1776, our Founding Fathers promised HaShem that our nation would bless Him if He blessed us. As always, He has kept his word, while we have broken our promises. By reading Jeremiah, you will understand why HaShem needed to judge the Hebrews, and He needed to judge the USA too. Because their wickedness was only increasing, HaShem had to act. Jeremiah catalogs the woes of Israel. Sadly, those same woes are bringing forth the downfall of the USA too.

How do you read Jeremiah? Don’t assume that you can understand Jeremiah if you begin at chapter thirty-one. The best chronological reading list is from Mark Biltz: http://elshaddaiministries.us/
   
Here is Mark's video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oalWctm1nno

The chronological chapters in order: Begin with chapter 1,2,12,15,16,17,11,3,4,5,6,26,27a, 13,14,23,25,36a,45,46,47,48,49,35,36b,30,22,31,24,29,28,27b,50,51,37,38,39a,52a,33,18,19,20,21,9,32,7,8,10,34,39b,52b,40,41,42,43,44,52c,52d.

If my list seems to have a mistake or two, please allow me chen (grace), or listen to Mark Biltz's sermon.  

When you’re done reading Jeremiah, please comfort yourself with Isaiah. After surviving the Dire Straits, we need comfort.

"Comfort and keep comforting my people," says your God. "Tell Yerushalayim to take heart; proclaim to her that she has completed her time of service, that her guilt has been paid off, that she has received at the hand of ADONAI double for all her sins." A voice cries out: "Clear a road through the desert for ADONAI! Level a highway in the 'Aravah for our God! Let every valley be filled in, every mountain and hill lowered, the bumpy places made level and the crags become a plain. Then the glory of ADONAI will be revealed; all humankind together will see it, for the mouth of ADONAI has spoken." A voice says, "Proclaim!" And I answer, "What should I proclaim?" "All humanity is merely grass, all its kindness like wildflowers: the grass dries up, the flower fades, when a wind from ADONAI blows on it. Surely the people are grass! The grass dries up, the flower fades; but the word of our God will stand forever." You who bring good news to Tziyon, get yourself up on a high mountain; you who bring good news to Yerushalayim, cry out at the top of your voice! Don't be afraid to shout out loud! Say to the cities of Y'hudah, "Here is your God! Here comes Adonai ELOHIM with power, and his arm will rule for him. Look! His reward is with him, and his recompense is before him. Isaiah 40:1-10 (CJB)

Why Are My Russian Blog Hits Nearly Equal To My USA Hits?

In the first place, I’m amazed that anybody has found my blog. My niche is Torah Scholars and intellectuals interested in biblical end time’s theories, and my advertizing budget is a few dollars; why would anybody read my blog? Somebody is reading my work. In just a few months’ time, I have over 5,000 blog hits. Why are people finding my blog posts? And why would I develop a following from Russia?

My premise today is that everyone is curious about the end times, and that some of us want a new set of answers explaining world events. Russians have been hearing the same standard answers for a century, and other than a few rich Russians, their living conditions are worsening. Most Russians want answers, and they’re searching the internet for answers. Some of you found my blog. May HaShem bless you!

Not much has changed in the Soviet Union/Russia over the last two hundred years. There are still the rich, and the poor; I deem the “Haves,” and the “Have-nots.” Despite government intervention, the middle class has never thrived in Russia, while a black market has always thrived. The “Haves” tell the “Have-nots” that America is bad, and that Russian leaders are good. The truth is that America is bad; however, not for the reasons Russian leaders cite.

America is bad because we export the most porn, perversity, violence, abortion, and wickedness in the world. Russia has all this and more; however, other than the Russian Mafia and oil, not much is exported from Russia. Thus, America is the world’s leader in exporting wickedness, and we will be punished for these sins someday. On the other hand, Russia will be a minor player in the end times, behind China, Muslim nations, and Europe.

Who is Gog?

Because Gog is listed three times in the Bible, we’re dealing with an anti-Israel spirit that inhabits three people or more.

The word of ADONAI came to me:  2 "Human being, turn your face toward Gog (of the land of Magog), chief prince of Meshekh and Tuval; and prophesy against him.  3 Say that Adonai ELOHIM says, 'I am against you, Gog, chief prince of Meshekh and Tuval.  4 I will turn you around, put hooks in your jaws and bring you out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all completely equipped, a great horde with breastplates and shields, all wielding swords.  5 Paras, Ethiopia and Put are with them, all with breastplates and helmets;  6 Gomer with all its troops; the house of Togarmah in the far reaches of the north, with all its troops - many peoples are with you. Ezekiel 38:1-6 (CJB)

Could Russia be Gog or Magog?

No. Without getting too technical, no Scythians ever lived in Rosh (an old term related to “Head,” and to Russia) thousands of years ago, during the time of the original Gog. Other than errant theologians like Hal Lindsay, every historian/archaeologist knows that the Gog’s descendants were Scythians, and the Scythians lived in Turkey with the Meshekhites and the Tubalites. Hal Lindsey understands Greek; however, he understands little contextual Hebrew. Thus, when he saw the word “Rosh,” and the word “Nasi,” he determined that HaShem was telling Ezekiel to write about Russia. Gog will emerge from Turkey twice.  

What will Gog do?  

Gog will unite armed forces to attack Hebrew people during the end times (listed above), and again after the millennium.

When the thousand years are over, the Adversary will be set free from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for the battle. Their number is countless as the sand on the seashore; Revelation 20:7-8 (CJB)

What is Russia’s role in the end times?

According to prophets David Wilkerson, Henry Gruver and Dumitru Duduman, Russia—and a collection of America’s enemies—will attack America someday soon. America will burn and fall. Other than a remnant found near the headwaters of the Mississippi River, almost every other portion of the USA will be attacked and destroyed. Then Israel will sit all alone, other than covered by HaShem’s protection. I like Israel’s odds against the whole world!

When will World War III commence?

I’m still hold to my 2013 “Fall of the USA” theory, and then the tribulation should begin in late 2015. I could be wrong. Let’s face it, the world is teetering on the brink of collapse; however, nothing much is happening. When Av 9 passed, I thought, “Maybe the Fall Moedim (Festivals) will begin the beginning of the end.”

You need to be prepared for a world war any time soon, because you sense that it’s coming, and Yeshua will return soon afterward.

Shalom!  

How Do We Achieve 360 Day Years? Peleg Knows.

Today’s premise is that we will achieve a 360 day year sometime soon. I’m citing the original Jewish calendar of twelve months with thirty days as my proof-text. Why else would HaShem create a 360 calendar, if He created an earth with 365.25 days? I submit that 360 days is perfect, just like the degrees in a circle. When did the days of the year change? When will the days of the year return to 360 days? Let’s examine.

I posit that the earth’s days lengthened during the time of Peleg, as the continents quickly divided. This seems to be when the days changed.

To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and his brother’s name was Joktan. Genesis 10:25 (ESV)

To Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg (for in his days the earth was divided), and his brother’s name was Joktan. I Chronicles 1:19 (ESV)

Here’s a great new source: http://jbq.jewishbible.org/assets/Uploads/372/372_niflega.pdf

FOR IN HIS DAYS THE EARTH WAS DIVIDED CLASSIC JEWISH SOURCES FOR A PHYSICAL DIVISION OF THE EARTH

(Dr. Joshua Backon teaches at the Hebrew University Faculty of Medicine and is the Program

Administrator of the college program of the Jewish Bible Association)

Genesis 10 transmits the genealogical list of descendants of Noah. When it comes to the generation of Peleg, about 350 years after the Flood, the Bible reports, For in his days the earth was divided (Gen. 10:25; I Chron. 1:19). Owing to the juxtaposition in Genesis of this section with the following sectionon the Tower of Babel, Rashi in his commentary explains the term "niflega [divided]" as referring to the "dispersal" of the people around the world. Yet the actual term niflega literally means "split" or "cleaved" (see: Job 38:25; Isa. 30:25).

On the other hand, a far different perspective on the meaning of niflega has been offered: Many non-Jewish "Creationist" websites relate niflega to catastrophic plate tectonics (see below); a cataclysmic event that literally severed what had been a single land mass into separate continents.

The Tosafot Yom Tov, a commentary on the Mishna, indicates that if there [is] no difference with regard to Jewish law between the explanation of a verse as given in the Talmud and one's own interpretation, then it is permissible to interpret biblical text according to one's understanding (Mishna Nazir 5:5). I was curious to learn whether classic Jewish sources had ever dealt with this phenomenon. I now suggest that there is support in Jewish tradition for interpreting niflega as a physical division of the earth. This view is remarkable, for modern scientific evidence for this has been discovered only within the past 35 years.

CATASTROPHIC PLATE TECTONICS

Catastrophic plate tectonics, the idea that the continents have drifted apart, was first suggested in 1859 after a geologist noticed a jigsaw fit between the western coastline of Africa and the eastern coastline of South America. The theory that these continents had once been joined but had split and moved apart was recognized by the scientific community after the findings of the German meteorologist Alfred Wegener were published in 1915. Most scientists at that time felt this phenomenon took place over millions of years. However, many physical observations have been found to be incompatible with the idea of slow-and-gradual plate tectonics. A recent theory of catastrophic plate tectonics with extremely rapid formation of new ocean crust and magnetic reversals has been proposed and demonstrated in the past three decades.

 

What is relevant to our study of the biblical text is that a concomitant of the continental drift is the enormous flooding that occurs as the ocean floor warms during the melting of hot mantle rock on the ocean floor, as the rock expands, displacing sea water and forcing a dramatic rise in sea level...

As indicated above, catastrophic plate tectonics posits that massive flooding would have occurred as a result of the melting of hot mantle rock on the ocean floor. There are many classic Jewish sources for a massive flood during the time of Peleg....

 My opinion: When will the days of the year change again? We have learned from the great 2011 Japanese Earthquake that our rotation speed increased afterward. I believe that we will see a 360 day year by 2015 or 2022. I have more proof now (please ignore the millions of years lunacy).

Research reveals Earth's core affects length of day

by Staff Writers

Liverpool, UK (SPX) Jul 12, 2013

Research at the University of Liverpool has found that variations in the length of day over periods of between one and 10 years are caused by processes in the Earth's core.

The Earth rotates once per day, but the length of this day varies. A year, 300 million years ago, lasted about 450 days and a day would last about 21 hours. As a result of the slowing down of the Earth's rotation the length of day has increased.

The rotation of the earth on its axis, however, is affected by a number of other factors - for example, the force of the wind against mountain ranges changes the length of the day by plus or minus a millisecond over a period of a year.

Professor Richard Holme, from the School of Environmental Sciences, studied the variations and fluctuations in the length of day over a one to 10 year period between 1962 and 2012. The study took account of the effects on the Earth's rotation of atmospheric and oceanic processes to produce a model of the variations in the length of day on time scales longer than a year.

Professor Holme said: "The model shows well-known variations on decadal time scales, but importantly resolves changes over periods between one and 10 years. Previously these changes were poorly characterised; the study shows they can be explained by just two key signals, a steady 5.9 year oscillation and episodic jumps which occur at the same time as abrupt changes in the Earth's magnetic field, generated in the Earth's core.

He added: "This study changes fundamentally our understanding of short-period dynamics of the Earth's fluid core. It leads us to conclude that the Earth's lower mantle, which sits above the Earth's outer core, is a poor conductor of electricity giving us new insight into the chemistry and mineralogy of the Earth's deep interior."

If You Squander Your One Talent In 2013, Will It Be Added To Another With Five Talents?

Why is the Talent Parable located between Matthew 24, about the end times, and Matthew 25, about the Kingdom? What message is HaShem sending us?

“For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here I have made five talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here I have made two talents more.’ His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here you have what is yours.’ But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Matthew 25:14-31 (ESV)

My Linking Theory: There is a reason why Matthew placed these verses in this order. As we approach the end times, HaShem will test all of us by giving us additional gifts. These gifts will help us survive perilous times. Some will use their gifts liberally, and some will squander their gifts. Then HaShem will take the squandered gifts from some, and give those gifts to those that increased their gift’s value. It won’t be fair in human terms; however, HaShem knows what’s best for us.

Lately, I’ve been wondering why my software sales are more than the rest of the company combined. Frankly, I’m not that good at my job, nor am I smarter than the other people. I’m arguing that HaShem distributes as He sees fit. He's teaching me about talents.

On the personal front, I could be homeless again for the second time in two months. I earn enough money to buy a house; however, HaShem hasn’t directed me to buy a house. Thus, I live in pathetic conditions.

What is HaShem telling me? I don’t know. I think He’s telling me that my extra sales are come from Him, and not my talents. As for my living conditions, I think that He wants me to be open to His direction in the near future. I’m learning how to survive in difficult situations, and with difficult [Christians] (yes, my issue is with self-described Christians).

What is HaShem telling you? Are you asking HaShem those types of questions? I don’t know; but, what if you’re squandering your talents? Don’t waste your talents when you’re commanded to use your talents. Bad times are at the doorstep. Don’t waste your talents, it could have eternal consequences, and soon! 

Shalom!

Fast Tonight And Tomorrow, Feast Someday Soon!

I recommend that everyone fasts, beginning tonight, for the Evil Report brought to Moses, the destruction of the two Temples, and all the other atrocities to the Jews over the years that occurred on Av nine.  

Please keep in mind that someday the Messiah will return. He will turn our fast days into days of gladness. We will feast on the fast days someday soon!

"ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'The fast days of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months are to become times of joy, gladness and cheer for the house of Y'hudah. Therefore, love truth and peace.'  "ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'In the future, peoples and inhabitants of many cities will come;  the inhabitants of one city will travel to another and say, "We must go to ask ADONAI's favor and consult ADONAI-Tzva'ot. I'll go too."  Yes, many peoples and powerful nations will come to consult ADONAI-Tzva'ot in Yerushalayim and to ask ADONAI's favor.'  ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'When that time comes, ten men will take hold - speaking all the languages of the nations - will grab hold of the cloak of a Jew and say, "We want to go with you, because we have heard that God is with you." Zechariah 8:19-23 (CJB)

Weep for Jerusalem tonight, for there is exile until the Third Temple is built. Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Psalm 122:6 

Update 7.17.2013: We will see a Third Temple someday soon. It will be destroyed too. When? I propose Av 9, 2022. What is my proof-source of it's destruction?

Amazing events occurred from 30 AD to 70 AD around the Temple. For a partial list, consult http://www.windowview.org/hmny/pgs/talmuds.30ce.html

One oddity from this time frame was that the heavy temple doors—bolted to the floor—would regularly thrust themselves open. The top Rabbi of the time, Yohanan ben Zakkai, commented:

From the Jerusalem Talmud:

''Said Rabban Yohanan Ben Zakkai to the Temple, 'O Temple, why do you frighten us? We know that you will end up destroyed. For it has been said, 'Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars' '' (Zechariah 11:1) (Sota 6:3).

My opinion: The soon-to-be-built Third Temple will suffer this same fate.

Shalom!

The Third Temple: The Children Are Ready!

Today’s premise is that we are seeing the emergence of the Third Temple, a groundswell of godly voices calling for the Temple now! Don’t you feel it in your spirit? It’s there, behind the grocery list, and the kid’s baseball game tonight. It’s there, pursuing you.  

Mark Biltz’ Tetrad Theory is based on a zenith of the Temple Mount and its restoration. Everything culminates around that location, HaShem’s location. Please read Prophetic Theory #4 to understand its significance. Once the Third Temple is built, the Messiah will return shortly.
 
While the world groans for the Messiah, we wonder when the Third Temple will be built. The Jews are in Diaspora as long as the Third Temple is on the drawing board. The USA is exile. Europe is Exile. Even Egypt is exile as long as the Third Temple is non-existent. But, when will it be built?

History 101: Just as the Jews were persecuted in World War II, the Jews will be persecuted going forward. John Kerry will equivocate on two states, living as one [mess]; while other world leaders will diminish the Jews with equal ungodly rhetoric. Nonsense! God will raise the Jews up, contrary to human logic. The Jews will prosper in spite of rumors of war and inner strife. They will be persecuted like dogs. Bet on the dogs. Expect the unexpected! God has blessed them, let us so the same.

The Third Temple is described in illusory terms. One must know that these coded verses mean: Third Temple. It will be destroyed by the Antichrist on Av 9 2022 or another Av 9 later on.

And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. Daniel 12:11 (ESV)

“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Matthew 24:15-16 (ESV)

Why is there always news about the Third Temple? Because HaShem is prompting you, to sense what He senses. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/169863#.UeCp2Pco673

More reasons to know the Third Temple is at hand. Please watch this video. http://www.algemeiner.com/2013/07/09/sequel-of-temple-institute-children-video-which-cased-arab-outrage-last-year-released-video/

http://www.israeltoday.co.il/NewsItem/tabid/178/nid/23984/Default.aspx?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=869&utm_content=original

    
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem, and that the Third Temple will be initiated by Passover 2016. (Okay, that’s my time line, I’m sorry.)

Shabbat Shalom!

We're Winding-Down Cosmically and As A Species: More Proof.

Is humanity devolving? Consult www.Mendelsaccountant.info

If these scientists are correct, there are one hundred more mutations per generation. Their research works with plants and animals, because both are winding-down similarly. When genetic mutations are compared to the biblical narrative, biblical life expectancies begin to match, and make sense. That means it's next to impossible for more than X amount of generations to evolve, because when we devolve, every species becomes extinct within three thousand or so generations.

Is the cosmos devolving? Consult https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=wm#inbox/13fb12f6b3a1bcd4

This scientist proves our atmosphere is collapsing. Earth changes: We are seeing a slow dangerous decrease in solar magnetism. Earth’s shield is fading. Our North Pole is migrating much faster than expected. Nearby planets, especially Saturn and Venus, are slowing quickly. Ten percent of our protective layer is gone, beginning in the sixteenth century. Why is the sun declining in power?

My opinion: We need a Messiah to return soon before we go extinct.

Has Edward Snowden Discovered Evidence For The Fifth Trumpet Of Revelation?

I’m always searching for relevant explanations of the Seals, Trumpets, and Vials of Revelation. Since I have to write my second book about the Trumpets, and my third book about the Vials, I need answers: Enter Super Spy Edward Snowden.

Edward Snowden just released information about ET’s that may relate to the Fifth Trumpet of Revelation. Please note that my theory is that all the Seals, and the first four Trumpets affect everyone equally. Beginning with the Fifth Trumpet, only the unbelievers will be attacked. What will sting the unbelievers?

And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.

In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, their hair like women’s hair, and their teeth like lions’ teeth; they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon.

The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come. Revelation 9:1-12 (ESV)

Wait until you read Edward Snowden’s recent comments about “Stinging” our underground enemies. http://www.eutimes.net/2013/07/snowden-reveals-ufo-documents/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheEuropeanUnionTimes+%28The+European+Union+Times%29

“The highest levels of government don’t know what to do about UFOs, and the official story that they are all merely weather balloons or natural phenomena have been clearly dismissed. If anything, these documents speak about UFOs as if they are surely guided by an intelligence beyond our own. As it turns out, the most credible and inexplicable sightings are of vehicles that have been spotted leaving the sea floor at hydrothermal vents and directly entering solar orbit . .

“Because ballistic missile tracking systems and deep-sea sonar are kept as state secrets, scientists don’t have access to data about these objects. However, most of the contractors at DARPA are sure that there is a species more intelligent than homo sapiens living in the mantle of the Earth. It makes sense, if you think about it, because that is the only place where conditions have been more or less stable for billions of years. Extremophiles may live at different temperatures than us, but they have been able to thrive and develop intelligence at a seemingly accelerated rate. That’s not true, because they’ve simply evolved at the same rate, but without many of the vicissitudes which set back surface life . . .

“The president receives daily briefings about their activities. Analysts believe their technology to be so far advanced that we stand little chance of survival in any potential war. The general sentiment is that we are but ants from their perspective, so there is little chance they would empathize or attempt to communicate with us, and the current contingency plan is to detonate nuclear weapons in deep caverns to ‘sting’ the foe we have no hope of destroying in hopes it would discourage further attacks.”

My opinion: Abaddon and Apollyon always mean Tehom. Tehom is the abyss under our earth. ET’s—whether found above the earth or below—are always malevolent demonic creatures based on many studies. Only faith in God will protect you from Extremophiles, slated to begin stinging in 2019.

Maybe it’s time to consider placing the Seal of God on your forehead, and in your heart? And I don’t mean by purchasing a tattoo. The Torah tells you how to survive these attacks. I’m telling you that only Torah believers will survive.

I’M TELLING YOU THAT ONLY TORAH ADHERANTS WILL SURVIVE! Here's why.

“And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim. Exodus 13:9

“And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.”Exodus 13:16

“and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Deuteronomy 6:8

“And you shall lay up these Words of Mine in your heart and in your being, and shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. Deuteronomy 11:18 (All ISR)

Read this to understand which Torah principles apply to you today, where you live. http://www.the613commandments.net/commandments/79-wear-tefillin-phylacteries-on-the-head.html

Weak Coronal Impact Today, Stronger Auroras Tomorrow?

When are the frightening CME's (Coronal Mass Ejection) due? Frankly, I don't know. However, I'm watching for news everyday, expecting to hear that the CME's are intensifying.

What is a CME? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_mass_ejection

A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields rising above the solar corona or being released into space.[1]

Coronal mass ejections are often associated with other forms of solar activity, most notably solar flares, but a causal relationship has not been established. Most ejections originate from active regions on the Sun's surface, such as groupings of sunspots associated with frequent flares. Near solar maxima, the Sun produces about three CMEs every day, whereas near solar minima, there is about one CME every five days.[2]

Coronal mass ejections release huge quantities of matter and electromagnetic radiation into space above the sun's surface, either near the corona (sometimes called a solar prominence), or farther into the planet system, or beyond (interplanetary CME). The ejected material is a plasma consisting primarily of electrons and protons, but may contain small quantities of heavier elements such as helium, oxygen, and even iron. The theory of heavier element emissions during a CME is speculative information and requires further verification. It is highly unlikely that a CME contains any substantial amount of heavier elements, especially considering that the sun has not yet arrived at the point of helium flash and thus cannot begin to fuse elements heavier than helium.

Coronal mass ejections are associated with enormous changes and disturbances in the coronal magnetic field. They are usually observed with a white-light coronagraph.

When the ejection is directed towards the Earth and reaches it as an interplanetary CME (ICME), the shock wave of the traveling mass of Solar Energetic Particles causes a geomagnetic storm that may disrupt the Earth's magnetosphere, compressing it on the day side and extending the night-side magnetic tail. When the magnetosphere reconnects on the nightside, it releases power on the order of terawatt scale, which is directed back toward the Earth's upper atmosphere.

Solar Energetic Particles can cause particularly strong aurorae in large regions around Earth's magnetic poles. These are also known as the Northern Lights (aurora borealis) in the northern hemisphere, and the Southern Lights (aurora australis) in the southern hemisphere. Coronal mass ejections, along with solar flares of other origin, can disrupt radio transmissions and cause damage to satellites and electrical transmission line facilities, resulting in potentially massive and long-lasting power outages.[6][7]

Humans in space or at high altitudes, for example, in airplanes, risk exposure to relatively intense so-called cosmic rays. Cosmic rays are potentially lethal in high quantities. The energy absorbed by the astronaut is not reduced by a typical spacecraft shield design and, if any protection is provided for the astronaut, it would result from changes in the microscopic inhomogeneity of the energy absorption events.[8]

What is the recent news about CME's? http://www.spaceweather.com/

WEAK IMPACT, NICE AURORAS:  A minor CME hit Earth's magnetic field on July 9th at approximately 20:30 UT. The impact was weak, and at first had little effect, but in the hours following the strike a geomagnetic storm developed. At its peak during the early hours of July 10th, the G1-class storm produced auroras in northern-tier US states from Wisconsin to Washington. Jim Reitz sends this picture from Rattlesnake Lake, about 30 miles east of Seattle:

                            

 

The storm is subsiding now, but the aurora watch is not over. Solar wind conditions continue to favor Northern and Southern lights at high latitudes. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on July 10th.
