My Conversation With Satan

WARNING....The information contained below is not for the faint of Heart. If you do not know Jesus Christ as your Lord, and Savior- I would highly suggest doing so before reading....

At the risk of sounding completely crazy, or deranged, I pen this with the full knowledge that 99% of you will completely disregard this, and rightly so...it wasn't meant for you! To the 1%...I'm risking my reputation as well as my ministry to convey this message to you...to the hecklers, do me a favor and go play in traffic-unknowingly you serve the dark master and his attempt to stave this knowledge....That being said, let us continue....

The ability to perceive and communicate with spirits has been my burden to bare since I was a small child...in the Word, it's referred to as "The Discernment of Spirits." coupled with "The gift of Knowledge" What I say to you now, carries a heavy toll on me both spiritually, and physically; and to be completely honest I would rather not write it. Even now as I address this, a horde of unspeakable evil surrounds me, demonia from every rank and file has invaded my home and I write this with great peril to myself...and Thank God-Me and I alone.
There are those who are reading this, that had the misfortune of being "Involved" during at least one of the many manifestations of said spirits, to you I offer my apologies. Back to the point, I will recount only one visitation-the one that occurred today. It was after my morning nap and I woke to the inevitable nausea that accompanies such visits; and the gut retching sound that means time and space are tearing apart and relocating themselves in my bedroom. I knew that this time it was going to be a foe I hadn't encountered directly for many years, and I pray will never encounter again...Why The lord allows such things is far beyond my understanding...I knew however that the battle was the Lords, and for His purpose alone; even now I'm uncertain if I have His Permission to address this...I Hope So!
I'm finding it difficult to focus and to stay determined on this course I've chosen to take, obvious that the powers that be would like to silence me....so readers digest this I will and leave out the information pertaining to me. Cutting quick to the short, here it is. He produced a list of those I Love and told me the ones who would be lost, without redemption. Giving me secret knowledge as to the time and event that would end their mortal lives- and begin their eternal damnation. Needless to say I quickly dismissed it as lies...however, I've learned quite painfully that Lucifer only twists The Truth ever so slightly and that His words are usually Dead on Right, that being said, I am now uncertain as to how to proceed. Do I warn you, or do I let this remain as the only vague reference to your untimely demise?
The second matter that needs to be addressed is as follows: THE END OF THE AGE OF GRACE. Satan, like us, knows not the day and hour of The Rapture; however he does know the events of prophecy that will culminate in the Lords return. Dialogue aside, the impression I received was that of a pregnant woman-Fully dilated. I can't continue now....the pain increases to the point of complete disorientation. I will continue this later, I need to get on my knees and seek Yah's Instruction.

One final caution....two of you will die without The Lord sometime this summer....one to an aneurysm, and one in a drinking related accident....I'm so sorry for You, and yours...

Shalom....Rev. Matthew G. Southard Ph.D

P.S. If you feel that your one of the ones I've discussed CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY!!!

I NEED YOUR HELP......

Invariably every Ministry needs help....and today I'm asking for yours. Pride has always been an issue with me, I've never had to ask for money before today...having supported the ministry on my funds only has really limited what i can do for you; and others like you. Accountability has always been priority with me, both professionally and personally as well.

As a Councilor I donate most of my time helping others; something I really enjoy doing- but in practical terms...not fiscally feasable if you catch my drift. So humbly I'm asking for your help...YOUR HELP. I realize that a lot of you are strapped and I understand believe me...but instead of getting that starbucks today...

And others of you spend more on client luncheons than the vast majority of us make in a year...This is your chance to step up in a big way...and I'm Asking Today....Can you help a brother in the Lord Out?

All Donations are tax deductible and 100% of your proceeds goes entirely to the Ministry. donations are accepted through PAYPAL.

The donate button is in the upper left hand corner....Thank You and GOD BLESS

The Great Pyramid-Proof Of GOD'S Existance?

The Great Pyramid’s builder knew all the dimensions of Earth and had a command of engineering, astronomy, and mathematics that would be impressive even today. If this guy didn’t have supernatural capability himself, he was certainly assisted by Someone who does. (Note: I first posted this article on Jan 23, 2005. I offer it again as a follow up to last week’s feature article entitled “What’s To Become Of Egypt.”)

In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the heart of Egypt, and a monument to the LORD at its border. It will be a sign and witness to the LORD Almighty in the land of Egypt. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them. (Isaiah 19:19-20)

During a group discussion on the New Jerusalem, a question about its configuration was raised. Revelation 21 only says that it’s 1400 miles square and 1400 miles tall and to me that conjures up an image of a cube. But some see a pyramid, and when you think about it, John could have been describing just that. One thing led to another and pretty soon the subject of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt came up. Someone asked me to conduct a study on it someday and I agreed. Here goes.

The Great Pyramid

Th Great Pyramid was most likely built in the 22nd century BC. Its construction required 10 years of planning and preparation and then 100,000 men spent 20 years completing it.

It’s different from all the other pyramids in Egypt. For one thing it’s made of stone, not bricks, and is the only one that’s not solid. There’s a series of passageways and several chambers inside. All of the 80 or so other pyramids came later, are grossly inferior copies, and unlike the Great Pyramid were used as gigantic headstones covering the tombs of the Pharaohs. (The Great Pyramid never served as a tomb.)

Since it’s located both on the border between Upper and Lower Egypt (Giza means border in Arabic) and in the heart of the two Egypts, the Great Pyramid seems to be referenced in the Isaiah passage above. And since the context of the Isaiah passage is the End Times, the connection with the New Jerusalem may not be so far fetched after all.

(Originally two separate kingdoms, Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt were joined together to become one. Upper Egypt is in the south and is more mountainous. Lower Egypt in the north was comprised mostly of the Nile delta region and the adjacent plains. The Biblical name for Egypt is Mizraim and literally means 2 Egypts since it’s the dual form of its root, Matzor. Mizraim was a son of Ham whose descendants first settled Egypt.)

Some Fascinating Details

The Great Pyramid was built on a 13-acre base made level to within less than 1″. 900 million cubic feet of granite blocks were used in its construction. To this day engineers can’t explain how the workers managed to fit those huge blocks together so carefully in building a monument nearly 500 feet high. Some of the larger ones weighed nearly 80 tons.

It originally had a face of polished white limestone consisting of 115,000 stones finished on all six sides to within .01 inch of perfectly straight. Cut on a bevel, they fit together with seams of less than 1/50th of an inch. They were then cemented together and polished to a high sheen. It’s said that the pyramid shone as if made of light itself and could be seen from over a hundred miles away.

The entire structure rests on 4 foundation stones that fit into sockets cut into the bedrock. These stones are designed to compensate for changes in temperature. They keep the pyramid square and level at all times, and in fact it’s square on every course.

It faces due North more accurately than we can position buildings today so that each side faces the four cardinal points of the compass. Its shadow has predicted equinoxes and solstices.

Originally it was to have a solid gold capstone that was a scale model of the pyramid itself. It was never put in place because the builders rejected it. Only on a pyramid can a capstone also be the head of the corner. (Psalm 118:22 and Matt.21:42)

A single entrance on the North side opens into a passageway that slopes down 150 feet to the base where it descends another 200 feet into the bedrock on a line that’s straight to within 1/4 of an inch over its 350 ft. length. The passageway, several chambers and all the air vents were pre-cut into the stones before they were placed and appeared in their finished form as the stones were fit together.

On one day in history the angle of this passageway looking up from the bottom pointed directly at the north star. If you could have drawn a line straight up from the pyramid into the sky on that day you would have intersected the exact center of our galaxy. That day was the vernal equinox in 2141 BC. Such an alignment happens only once every 26,000 years. As we’ll see below, the builders apparently knew this in advance and planned their construction accordingly.

The Great Pyramid was also built exactly in the center of Earth’s land mass. Equal amounts of land are contained in each of the quadrants drawn off its 4 corners. Its height of 454 feet is the same as the average height above sea level of all land on earth.

The sides are concave at the bottom. Their curvature conforms to the curvature of the earth’s surface, so if you could draw a circle extended from any two adjacent corners it would equal the circumference of Earth at the Equator.

The Sacred cubit was the unit of measure used in building the Great Pyramid. Unlike the standard and royal cubits referenced in the Bible, its length is 25 pyramid inches, which are about the same as the inch used today in the US. These units of measure were carved into the wall, and can serve to decode the pyramid’s dimensions. For instance, multiplying the sacred cubit times 10 million equals the polar radius of earth. Multiplying the total weight of the Pyramid by 1000 trillion equals the weight of planet Earth.

In Hebrew each letter has a numerical value. The Pyramid’s height in inches equals the sum of all the letters in the Hebrew text of Isaiah 19:19-20 (5449). Air shafts keep the temperature inside at exactly 68 degrees, the same as the mean temperature of Earth. If you could walk up the side of the pyramid you’d rise 9 feet in vertical elevation for every 10 feet you cover.

It contains one piece of furniture, a box the same size as the Ark of the Covenant. It’s located in the King’s Chamber, a room with the same cubic volume as the bronze laver in Solomon’s Temple. It’s just barely too big to fit through the passageway, so it had to have been placed there as pyramid was built, over 1000 years before God gave Moses the Ark’s dimensions.

The main passageway descends at an angle of 26 degrees 18 minutes and 9 seconds. This is called the Christ angle because a line drawn from the Pyramid to Bethlehem is 26 degrees 18 minutes and 9 seconds from true north. At the bottom of the entry passageway is a rough hewn chamber called the bottomless pit. Together the passageway and chamber symbolize the fall of man from Adam’s sin, a gradual descent straight into Hell.

Markers carved into the wall in advance are keyed to the vernal equinox in 2141 BC, the only day in history when the stars lined up with the pyramid as described above. Whoever did the carving knew ahead of time that this would happen and designed the lengths of the various passageways to serve as time lines to predict significant future events. For example, the distance from the starting marker to the place where a steep, low ceiling passageway up to the King’s Chamber intersects the down sloping entry passageway foretells the date when the Law was given at Mt. Sinai. It symbolizes the opening of another path for man, this one a difficult climb leading him back to God. Part way up to the King’s chamber another short passageway leads off to another room called the Queen’s chamber. The distance to that passageway converts to the year Jesus was crucified and symbolizes the relief from the hard way of the Law that was purchased at the cross.

So it appears that the Queen’s chamber represents the Church. The Grand Gallery just before the King’s Chamber consists of 7 levels of polished pink granite and symbolizes the Millennium. And the King’s Chamber represents eternity. Pyramid buffs see many other significant dates in Christianity foretold in the lengths of the various passageways and chambers, but so far the date of the 2nd Coming has eluded them.

Who Built The Great Pyramid?

The identity of the architect is unknown, but three candidates come to the top of most lists:

1. Eusibius quotes an Egyptian historian named Manetheo who attributes construction to the Hyksos or Shepherd Kings who came from Arabia, conquered Egypt without a battle, destroyed their pagan temples and converted Egypt to monotheism. They built the Great Pyramid and then left for Judea. Job, after whom a book of the Bible is named, might have been part of this group. A generation later the Egyptians reverted to paganism.

2. Some say Enoch, making the Pyramid a pre-flood monument like the nearby Sphinx. If you measure a side from corner to corner in sacred cubits it equals 365.242, the number of days in our year and Enoch’s age when he was raptured. (Because of their concave nature there are three ways to measure a side. One way equals the solar year, as above. The second way equals the sidereal year, slightly longer at 365.256, and the third equals the anomalistic year of 365.259 days. The last two are used mostly in astronomy. If that isn’t astonishing enough for you, keep in mind that none of these measurements would apply until 1300 years later when the length of the Earth’s orbit increased by 5.25 days.)

3. Most popular is Shem, son of Noah. Though born before the Great Flood, Shem outlived 8 of the first 9 generations that followed it, and even outlived Abraham. Some believe Shem was the priest called Melchizedek in Genesis 14.

No matter which of these options appeals to you, the facts remain that the builder knew all the dimensions of Earth and had a command of engineering, astronomy, and mathematics that would be impressive even today. Think of it. This guy knew the weight and curvature of the Earth, the irregularity of that curvature at the poles, the location and size of every land mass and its height above sea level, Earth’s mean temperature, its latitude and longitude scales, the exact direction of true north, the locations of the stars, and the fact that 1300 years later the Earth’s orbit would change, increasing by 5.24 days.

He knew how to make things absolutely level, straight, and square, and how to pre-cut and position gigantic pieces of stone so that when in place they fit so perfectly that every course is level and square even today. He knew how to calculate the coefficients of expansion and contraction and compensate for them. The list goes on. If this guy didn’t have supernatural capability himself, he was certainly assisted by Someone who does.

Belief By Evidence

Like Noah’s Ark, the Sphinx and others, the Great Pyramid may be evidence for generations yet future to us. It’s obvious supernatural design and construction make it a unique witness to the Glory of God.

In Old Testament times people gained and maintained their belief in God through the evidence of His existence. God caused earthquakes, dried up rivers and seas, made city walls fall down, and sent fire and hail on His enemies. And anyone could come to Jerusalem to witness His presence first hand. Fire from Heaven consumed the sacrifices on the altar. No matter from what direction or with what velocity the wind blew, smoke from the altar always rose straight up into heaven.

According to Jewish tradition, each fall on Yom Kippur the scapegoat was brought before the High Priest and the sins of the nation were transferred to it. While the people watched, a scarlet ribbon was tied from one of the goat’s horns to a door of the Temple. As the goat was led into the wilderness this ribbon was snipped leaving some hanging on the door and some on the goat’s horn. At a designated place the goat was pushed off a cliff to its death. At the moment of the goat’s death the piece of ribbon on the Temple door changed color from scarlet to white fulfilling Isaiah 1:18. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” All these things were plainly visible, irrefutable evidence of God’s presence.

Belief By Faith

When the Lord Jesus came, all that changed. No more great and fearful events to prove God’s existence. The greatest of all had happened. He had come to dwell among us. Following His death the ribbon never changed colors again.

On Resurrection Sunday He rose from the grave having conquered sin and death. That evening He appeared to His disciples in the Upper Room. Thomas was absent and refused to believe the others. The following Sunday He appeared again and this time Thomas was there. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”(John 20:26-29)

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. He was speaking of His Church and the incredible blessings that would accrue to our benefit. The age of belief by faith alone had arrived.

Soon the Church will disappear and the Lord told us that as the end approaches, people on Earth will again see much evidence of His existence. It’ll be like Old Testament times again. Obvious miracles, huge natural disasters, uncontrollable weather, until finally the skies will open and like flashes of lightning that are visible from the East to the West, every eye will behold His Glorious Appearing.

During the time leading up to His return, I believe Noah’s Ark will reappear, and the true origins of monuments like Stonehenge, Easter Island and others will become known as evidence of God’s existence. And one day the Great Pyramid will be restored and once again stand in Egypt as the monument and witness to the Lord that Isaiah prophesied, bringing salvation to the people there. When they cry out to the LORD because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and defender, and he will rescue them. (Isaiah 19:20)

In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The LORD Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.” (Isaiah 19:23-25) 02-19-11

FEAR GOD!!!

Fear God

By Grant Phillips

In the last chapter of Ecclesiastes, the wisest mortal man who ever lived, Solomon, concludes his examination of the reason for living by saying, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

In Genesis 42:18 Joseph said, “I fear God”. The Apostle John “fell at His feet as dead” when he saw Jesus in His glory (Revelation 1:17). Isaiah said that he was “a man of unclean lips” when he beheld “the King, the Lord of hosts” (Isaiah 6:5). In Revelation 14:7 an angel is proclaiming the Gospel to the inhabitants on the earth during the Tribulation by saying, “…Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.”

In Revelation 22:9 the angel told John to “worship God”. The word for worship means to show profound reverence to one who is greater; i.e. fear God.



When we are told to fear God it means that we should stand in awe of Him, honor Him, respect Him, fear Him, worship Him, and reverence Him. (This list is non-inclusive.) Throughout the remainder of this article, when I use the term “fear” in relationship to God, reference this paragraph.

Our God is a loving God, and has more love for us than we can comprehend. It seems most Christians understand this attribute of God, but have we gotten lax in our understanding of our need to fear Him? Even some in the world recognize God’s attribute of “love”, but miss His attribute of “justice”. “Love” is mistakenly thought of as an emotional reaction, but that is totally false. Love is a mental attitude. Love does not react. Love initiates. It is true that God is love, but don’t stop there. Because He is love, His love will be forthcoming with justice. He will do what is right. It may hurt, but it will be right.

When I think of “fear God”, the first thing that comes to mind is “respect”. I believe that if we have a Godly respect for Him, it will pretty much cover most everything else. When we lose fear of God, we have no respect for anything.

o I can remember when even the most ornery person in the community would show respect to Christians, especially the pastor of a church.

o I can remember when children showed respect to their parents and other adults.

o I can remember when men showed respect toward women, and women demanded that respect.

I am reminded what our Lord says in Romans 3:12-18, “They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulcher; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps in under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes.” The heart of mankind is already evil (Jeremiah 17:9), but when we allow Satan to remove the fear of God in our heart, Christian or not, the last vestige of restraint to do evil is removed.

We currently live in a society where the fear of God is rapidly fading away, even in church circles. Our pace quickens with each step we take as we shy away from God. Our conscience hardens. The plea of the cross and Christian growth is barely a whisper. We as a society have become so brazen in our sins, we laugh in the face of God, and spit at Him as we turn back to our own lustful passions.

The world we live in could easily rival and surpass those decadent societies of yesteryear. This world preaches love and tolerance while it stands neck deep in hatred for anything remotely related to the one and only God of this world. We have lost our fear of God, and it is showing in every area of our lives.

Even in the churches, a nonchalance toward God is clearly on display. We zero in on the love of God, while totally ignoring His commands of obedience and warnings of judgment. We keep Him wrapped in swaddling clothes while hanging on the cross, but forget to consider the revelation of His deity (Revelation 1) after His ascension from the grave. We ordain and honor those who pervert the natural use of sex that He created between a husband and wife (man and woman). We entertain and amuse each other. We are now a social club. Dribble and nonsense ooze from the pulpits, while Satan laughs back stage.

Homes have been torn asunder by loveless spouses and rebellious progeny. Single family “homes”, without father or mother, are producing generations of total misfits. Children are now being placed in “homes” with two “dads” or two “moms”, providing them little to no chance to ever know the one and only true God and all that He commands.

Schools are replete with subject matter that they have no business teaching, some subjects that should be taught at home, and some that should never be taught by anyone. Homosexuality is crammed down the innocent throats of precious children whose minds are tender and trusting.

Abortion (the murder of unborn babies) has gruesomely taken the innocent lives of unborn children. There are basically three reasons women give for an abortion; (1) interference with work, school or other responsibilities, (2) can’t afford the upkeep of a child, and (3) don’t want to be a single parent, or problems with a husband or partner.

Jesus said, “And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.” (Mark 9:42) (This verse can refer both to young children or young converts to Christ, who are babes in Christ.) Our children are being attacked by Satan and his entourage with a viciousness that I have not seen in my lifetime until now. God help those who may be guilty of this.

All of this brings us back to one point, the fear of God in our lives. If we have no fear of punishment, we will do anything our wicked heart contrives.

Many children today are nothing more than little spoiled brats, and it isn’t their fault. They have learned that they can do just about anything without being punished. Oh they may be warned continuously, and that is the problem … no follow through after the first warning. Their manners in public are atrocious. They sass. Nothing is done. They have learned to have no fear (respect) for their parents. Therefore, they become monsters that society has to deal with. Children are always learning, and these particular ones are learning not to fear those in authority, which results in no respect for authority. Then they grow up. Now the police agencies and courts have to deal with these grown children who had no Godly guidance while growing up.

A police officer was explaining the other day how much more dangerous his job is than previously. He stated that many offenders of the law have no hesitation in attacking a trained, armed police officer. Just think how much more dangerous it has become for the general public.

There was once a generation (generally speaking) who did not participate in sexual activities prior to marriage, because of fear of the consequences from their … parents. And oh yes, boys were interested in girls, and girls were interested in boys. They avoided circumstances that might involve an appearance from the police or other authority figure, because they did not want to face the consequences from their … parents. They had both mother and father (married to each other) heading up the home. They showed respect in the church building, because they knew there would be consequences. They showed respect for school teachers, because there would be consequences if they did not. Their parents feared God, and they feared God. Could it be that this is our problem today, that we do not fear God? I think the answer is obvious.

There was a time that it was unheard of for people to live together and not be married. There were names for anyone who would do that. To be married to someone of the same sex wasn’t even a thought.

We now live in a society where nothing is taboo. Violence is off the charts. This is what happens when people have no fear of God.

Jesus said, “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.” (Luke 17:26) How was it in the days of Noah? “And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.” (Genesis 6:13)

Any daily reading of the news headlines screams of the violence upon the earth today. People do not fear God. Therefore, they fear no repercussions for their actions. There is nothing holding them back, so they live out the depravity within their souls.

God tells us all in His Word that, “…it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”. (Hebrews 9:27) If there is no fear in your heart toward God now, there certainly will be at the judgment (the Great White Throne judgment).

If you do not know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, come to Him now. Ask Him to save you and make you a new person in Him. Ask Him to open your eyes to His love for you. Then fear Him. Show Him the respect He is due by your life being a living example of your fear of God. Otherwise, all you have to look forward to is what He records in the following verse: “And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:11-15 NLT)

If you already are a child of God by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ your Lord, ask Him to open your eyes to any and all discrepancies that may be in your life that do not honor Him. Then fear God, and follow Him.

Apocalypse Now!!!

The World is Escalating to Apocalyptic Times

The Book of Revelation is the present textbook for understanding our future. The stage is set for Revelation chapter four to open. The throne of God in Heaven is circled over by a rainbow that declares mercy is still the Father’s heart. There will be seen four cherubim preparing to defend God’s holiness in this “out of control” world. The Seven Spirits are actually the Holy Spirit acting in the seven expressions of His omnipresent powers. Twenty-four elders complete the scene as the opening of eternal redemption and perfect judgment begins.

God’s phenomenal Book of Revelation was written precisely for our generation. When you understand that the total universe must be purified and set free from over six thousand years of pollution and every expression of sin must be adjudicated and eliminated, the task is breathtaking. The process is universal. Every angel in Heaven will be involved. All of Heaven and its holy persons, all of the earth and its occupants, and all of Satan’s masquerading spirits and lies will meet in prophetic order. Nothing, and no one, in God’s great universe will be excused. This is the fateful hour to settle the score of what happened in Heaven and in the Garden of Eden.

All the indescribable signs and wonders that began in 1948, when Israel was born a new nation, have only escalated for sixty plus years. In this period of one generation, every Biblical sign of the End Times has become visible. It is not possible to look at the Holy Bible and its picture of the total scene and not know that God’s Word is perfect. If the signs of the times mean anything, the final hour of Gentile history is closing. At the exact same time, as we watch the Gentile world withering, we watch Israel blooming. Israel still has a lot to suffer, but the evidence of faith is budding.

Israel’s fateful hour, called “Jacob’s trouble,” will conclude two thousand years of sorrows. The prophets of both testaments speak of the future moment when His chosen people will come to faith in Jesus Christ. Zachariah stated by the Spirit, “I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree” (Zechariah 3:9b-10). The Apostle Paul wrote, “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins” (Romans 11:26-27).

The chosen people of Israel have long been considered a kind of time clock of prophecy. Watching this nation setting on military alert and actually speaking of the War of Gog and Magog as eminent cannot be explained except by the Bible. Ezekiel wrote the script for this war twenty-five centuries ago. It was positioned right before the great Millennial Temple and the return of the Messiah. The Bible is thrilling to search when one sees the nation of Jesus Christ’s very family pictured in future propriety and greatness. Their most glorious kingdom is on the horizon. But, we are beginning to see that Israel is only a small part of the picture and all that it represents.

The entire world is suddenly becoming just as prophetic as Israel. No longer do we talk about the One World Order; we watch it developing. There is not one problem our world is facing that is a single nation’s problem. North Korea has the world wondering, “What is next” with this rogue government? The Bear of China is quickly becoming a monetary giant. The slow demise of America is troubling to every nation, large or small. Russia is quickly revealing new fangs of military recovery.

Earthquakes have been a “weather barometer” throughout human history. Nothing strikes fear in mankind more than when the ground begins to shake and divide. The Bible makes this phenomenon a centerpiece of prophetic events. Jesus emphasized this as one of the key End Time signs. “And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from Heaven” (Luke 21:11).

While we must allow for new technology in determining the frequency of earthquakes, it is clear that they have escalated beyond measure. The world is averaging approximately forty earthquakes over 2.5 magnitude and many smaller ones every day. The words “divers places” should be noted. Checking the reports, it is clear that earthquakes are no longer occurring just at known fault lines, but worldwide in “divers places.” The national news media seems reluctant to even speak of these kinds of developments, lest they make the Bible prophecies of even greater interest.

Let’s take one twenty-four hour period and document the earthquakes that occurred. Over the twenty-four hour period of January 23, 2011, there were forty-one (41) earthquakes that registered over 2.5 magnitude; eighteen (18) registered more than 3.5; eleven (11) registered over 4.5; and eight (8) registered over 5.0. Here are the parts of the earth where earthquakes occurred in that one day: Alaska, Puerto Rico, the South Sandwich Islands, Japan, California, the Virgin Islands, Figi, Dominican Republic, Chili, Idaho, Mexico, Indonesia, Arizona, and Nevada. The earth is trembling, spurring, and shaking like a troubled universe.

Mysterious deaths of animals have often occurred around the world, but I cannot find a report of a worldwide series of events on every continent in the proportions that we have seen in the last few weeks. These events seem to be spreading like wildfire around the world. It appears to have started in Beebe, Arkansas, where it was reported that four thousand (4,000) red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky. Seeing pictures of them scattered in mass up and down the highways looks apocalyptic regardless of one’s Biblical opinion. There were also reports from Rockwell, Texas; Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana; numerous other states; and in different countries of the world. Quickly, the death of massive numbers (even tons) of fish surfaced. The Chesapeake Bay area reported two million dead spot croakers had washed ashore. Then there was the announcement of hundreds of tons of sardines, catfish, and other species of fish in New Zealand and Brazil.

Within a few days there was the news of 8,000 doves falling dead from the skies of Italy; crows in Sweden; water birds in Houston and Minnesota; and flocks of birds near Nashville, Tennessee. If that isn’t enough, forty to forty-five thousand velvet crabs were found dead on the beaches of Kent, England, and many penguins were reported dead in New Zealand. Just days ago, it was 10,000 cows and buffaloes in Vietnam. A few days earlier, it was 200 cows in one pasture in Arkansas. The reports of similar events continue to come in from all over the globe. The Bible clearly promises this kind of strange death to the population of fowls and fish. Zephaniah wrote as he spoke the words of God, “I will consume man and beast; I will consume the fowls of the Heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the stumblingblocks with the wicked; and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD” (Zephaniah 1:3). Hosea promised, “Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of Heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away” (Hosea 4:3).

Add to this the strange events touching the Heavenly bodies and affecting the atmosphere of our world. Here is a report from Project World Awareness that makes us think of the Bible warning of Luke 21:11b “and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from Heaven.”

“The angry sun – For months mounting fear has driven researchers to wring their hands over the approaching solar storms. Some have predicted devastating solar tsunamis that could wipe away our advanced technology, others voiced dire warnings that violent explosions on the surface of the sun could reach out to Earth, breach our magnetic field, and expose billions to high intensity X-rays and other deadly forms of cancer-causing radiation. Now evidence has surfaced that something potentially more dangerous is happening deep within the hidden core of our life-giving star: never-before-seen particles—or some mysterious force—is being shot out from the sun and it’s hitting Earth.” (www.projectworldawareness.com)

A publication from Natural News speaks of the possibility of poisonous gases in our third Heaven above. “The really concerning part about all this is the sudden realization that if these poisoning clouds of Hydrogen Cyanide could reach into our lower atmosphere, they could also theoretically reach ground level. That’s where humans live, of course, and if such a poisonous cloud reached down into a major city such as New York, it would cause the mass instantaneous death of potentially millions of people. Nobody is prepared to survive a sudden cloud of Hydrogen Cyanide — not even the preppers. I own stored food and some emergency gear, but even I probably wouldn’t survive a sudden Hydrogen Cyanide gas attack from outer space. Notably, Hydrogen Cyanide has been used as both a rodent killer and as a chemical precursor in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals.” (www.naturalnews.com)

There is enough scientific talk about what is happening in our atmosphere or the third Heavens to fulfill the words of Christ, “Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of Heaven shall be shaken” (Luke 21:26).

I have not even mentioned the news of a developing One World Order with a universal mark to control all commerce. What is darker than a One World Economy in a One World Religion? It is quickly becoming completely unacceptable to be exclusive in your religious views. To say that Christ alone is the Savior of the world is narrow-minded and considered hate language. Two things are going to be the watch word of the religious One World System. The first is that there are many religions and many ways to Heaven and only mentally deficient people believe otherwise. Second, is a gender free concept of mankind. Same-sex marriage must be considered equal with heterosexual marriage. Any concept of adultery or fornication is considered nothing but restriction of past religious bondage. The Passport Department of our U. S. Government has just changed the wording on the question of your sex status. It is no longer husband or wife, but parent one and parent two.

The fulfillment of the Book of Revelation, and the great day of reconciling this world back to God is at hand. The fact that our world is forsaking all truth and righteousness is additional proof of how close that grand hour is upon us. Every saint needs a backbone set in the Holy Scripture. It does not matter how big the name or how great the reputation. If a person forsakes the Word of God, they are in trouble. Our duty is to live in the Scripture. If you are not full of the Holy Spirit, you need to find an altar and pray until the witness of God floods your heart. Only the Word and the Spirit can keep your soul in this Antichrist world. Be a prayer warrior and walk in truth.
