<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Part C</span>:  Putting forth my best speculation on <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">how </span></em>and <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">when </span></em>the next stage of the economic collapse will occur, if it happens.</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">To quickly review:</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Part A</strong> contains information that is readily available to all and already known by millions, but not by billions. This information <em><strong>remains </strong></em>quite valid and contains realities that <em><strong>will </strong></em>affect us in the future.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Part B</strong> contains a collection of unique; possibly God inspired information that <em><strong>might </strong></em>focus on the July 2009 time frame.   But what is most likely to happen in this time frame?   <strong>What is up with all the focus on “79”?</strong> Time will fully soon tell.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Preliminary Analysis on information presented in Part B on “79” or 07/2009</strong></span></p>
<p>Before proceeding with <strong>Part C</strong>, I want to take the opportunity to comment on events that history has recorded so far in July 2009.</p>
<p>Originally, I expected to post <strong>Part C</strong> much earlier in July, but the delay in its posting now gives us the opportunity to see if anything that was suggested in <strong>Part B</strong> might have already begun to happen.    Indeed, I believe there <em><strong>might </strong></em>be a confirmation.   Nothing we can prove beyond a doubt, but very intriguing.  When I wrote <strong>Part B</strong>, I had no foreknowledge that on 7/9/2009 or the 17th of Tammuz that the G8/G14 meeting was going to take place.   But I did write:</p>
<blockquote><p>“<strong>Interpretative Questions:</strong> Will July 9, 2009 / 17th of Tammuz mark the very day in which we will be able to see some major American guarantee be broken to pieces?   Will it be something all Americans had trusted to be “<strong><em>written in stone</em></strong>”?   Will America’s idol worship of its primary god, money, be analogous to the golden calf of Moses’ day?   Will this break of a guarantee take the form of the beginning of the dollar plunge and/or a major break of our US Constitution?”</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>AND</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>“The failure of the [stock market] rally that started at 666.<strong>79</strong> also might be associated with key events that will in time lead to the implementation of the mark of the beast, as suggested by “666”.  If the mark of the beast is associated with a <em><strong>global cashless currency</strong></em>, then a <strong><em>dollar collapse</em></strong> logically has to happen at some point.   The mark of the beast Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled one way or another.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Obviously, we now know for sure that a full manifestation of a dollar collapse has not occurred yet.   And we also know that it is too early for a global cashless currency (a possible “666” manifestation).    But were the <em><strong>seeds </strong></em>of a global currency <strong><em>sewn </em></strong>on July 9th?</p>
<p>Let’s look what happened at the G8/G14 meeting on July 9, 2009.</p>
<ul>
<li><a title="Currency Reform at G8" href="http://www.financialpost.com/story.html?id=1774920" target="_blank">China demands currency reform at G8 meeting</a></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><a title="Russian President Medvedev World Currency" href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.4eb2c06b46ea42dece225df0a3ec3799.641&amp;show_article=1" target="_blank">Russian President Medvedev Unveils “World Currency” Coin At G8</a></li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-609 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;" title="Medvedev" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/medvedev.jpg" alt="Medvedev" />This information was made public.    <strong>Who, but the world elite, knows what was signed behind closed doors on July 9, 2009, the 17th of Tammuz?</strong> Did something occur to breach the outer defensive wall of America’s economic sovereignty just as Jerusalem’s outer defensive stone walls were breached in day in history by both the Babylonians (First Temple era) and by the Romans (Second Temple era)?</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Update on the Congressional Effort to Audit the Federal Reserve</strong></span></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-610" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Republicans Debate - Ron Paul" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ron-paul-072907.jpg?w=272" alt="Republicans Debate - Ron Paul" width="218" height="240" />Ron Paul, congressman from Texas, has introduced a bill, <strong>HR 1207</strong>, to audit the Federal Reserve.   Co-sponsors of the bill have grown tremendously to over 270 Congressman, both Republican and Democrat.  Mr. Paul was just on the Glen Beck program this week.   He reported that despite the overwhelming public and Congressional support for the bill, “leadership from above” sent word down to Capital Hill to thwart any debate on the bill.</p>
<p><em><strong>Is the United States of America still a republic or is it now more of a dictatorship of the world elites?</strong></em></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Update on the <strong>&#8220;The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p>The rally failure hypothesis remains valid until the S&amp;P 500 index closes above 1001.84, the price level high that was recorded when Obama was proclaimed, &#8220;President elect&#8221; on 11/5/2008 (depicted by the horizontal <em><strong>BLUE </strong></em>line in the chart below). There <strong>was </strong>a significant market turn in the July 7 to 9, 2009 time window as suggested by the <strong>time cycles</strong> presented in the stock chart illustrated in <strong>Part B</strong>, but it was a temporary bottom turning upward, not a top turning downward.</p>
<p>Below is the updated chart:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=$SPX&amp;p=D&amp;yr=0&amp;mn=9&amp;dy=17&amp;id=p54363142228&amp;a=171433943&amp;listNum=16"><img class="size-full wp-image-596 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Stock Chart 2" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sc21.png" alt="Stock Chart 2" width="551" height="328" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In this time window of July 7 to 9, 2009, the S&amp;P 500 index held in a very tight trading range near 8<strong>79</strong>.  Included in this are the intraday low in the S&amp;P 500 index on 7/7/09 of 8<strong>79</strong>.93 and a closing value on 7/8/2009 of 8<strong>79</strong>.56.</p>
<p>Was the market trading range that centered about 8<strong>79</strong> in the July <strong>7</strong> to <strong>9</strong>, 2009 time window just another coincidence or are we now supposed to look for an <em>additional </em>spiritual reality or earthly manifestation to begin in August, the <strong>8th</strong> month?   I do not know.   But we may find out based on what happens around the 9th of Av this year, which occurs on July 30th &#8211; two days prior to August and one day prior to the scheduled Congressional August recess.  A significant event may be tied to whether or not the US Congress passes socialized medicine against the will of the American people.  In general, God uses the number <strong>8</strong> to mark a new beginning that will last for all eternity.  (I intend to detail this fact fully in my book on God’s use of numbers).  Once socialized medicine is passed it will be <em><strong>irreversible</strong></em>.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Curious Recent Side Story About The Number 8</span>:   My mother and I two weeks ago went to Costco to buy extra food for a Christian men’s home just in case the storm does hit soon.   If food gets very expensive, it would be much more difficult to buy food for them later.   We had two large push cart dollies that were stacked up high with food.   Other customers walking by us would comment by saying things like, “Wow, looks like you’re going to feed an army!”    When we got to the check out line, my mother, the checkout clerk and I all attempted to guess what the final bill would be just for fun.  Interestingly, the final bill came out to be $777.81.   Many already know that 777 represents a completed act of God in the earth realm specifically by the Holy Spirit, but as for the “<strong>.81</strong>” – what did that mean?   I do not regard it with much predictive significant, but I said, “Maybe in means the food will be needed starting August 1, or <strong>8/1</strong>.”</p>
<p>But getting back to the chart.   It will be a new revelation to some readers to <em><strong>see </strong></em>for themselves in this chart that cycles of time <em><strong>do exist</strong></em> in markets at which times markets can make turns in direction.  However, the July 7 to 9, 2009 time window did <strong>not </strong>mark the end of Obama Stock Market Rally.  The fast upward movement that has occurred from this time may turn out to be what is known as a “short squeeze” in the market.  This is an artificial rally that is analogous to a head fake in sports, which is used to falsely influence the opposition for a moment in time.  From a world elite conspiracy perspective, this rally over the past week may pull the last players into the market just before the elite reverse the market downward hard and fast.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Socialized Medicine</strong></span><strong>: </strong>The elite may also use an artificial rally to fool the country into believing that an economic recovery is indeed in progress and that the socialized medical health plan Congress wants to past this month will not bankrupt the nation.  According to the neutral Congressional Budget Office, the current plan of the Democrats and the Obama Administration will not save the country money, but cost it <em>significantly </em>more than our current health care system. This may be the last straw that breaks the American eagle’s back.  Until I see proof otherwise, I believe the elite want pass socialized medicine in America <strong><em>before </em></strong>they crash the dollar.  Hopefully, they will not be successful on either endeavor.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-599 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Obama - Karl Marx" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/obamamarx1.jpg" alt="Obama Marx" width="421" height="376" /></strong></span></p>
<p>Socialized medicine is much more about controlling the population than helping people, as the government will dictate what medical care you can or cannot have.  And the government will take away more money from you to facilitate their mandates on you!  Likewise, crashing the dollar is also about control over the population, as it will make most Americans slaves to debt and to government by destroying the American liberty that comes from financial independence.</p>
<p><strong>Why is Obama so desperately in a rush?</strong> Obama wants to have a bill passed in Congress prior to the Congressional August recess.  Why is Obama so anxious to shove this legislation down the throats of the American public when the majority currently polled does not want the current plan being proposed?  What is his hurry?  What does he know that the public doesn’t?  Is Obama anxious to get socialized medicine passed before the world elites crater the markets further?  Please do not allow Obama to deceive you with false words and an eloquent speaking style!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The next major date to look at in this month of July is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tisha_B'Av" target="_blank"><strong>the 9th of Av</strong></a> on the Jewish calendar</span>.    This is the worst day in all Jewish history.   It is the anniversary of the very day both first and second Jewish Temples were destroyed by the Babylonians (first Temple) and the Romans (second Temple).</p>
<p>This year on the Gregorian calendar <strong>the 9th of Av</strong> falls on <strong>July 30, 2009</strong>.   I believe this is one day prior to the scheduled Congressional recess.  Will Congress pass socialized medicine against the will of the people before they leave for August recess?   If they do, the US government will cease to be a representative republic that the US Constitution has guaranteed.  Symbolically, has our US Constitution been a type of temple that originally had been dedicated to God by our founding fathers?  Will its destruction be a form of God’s judgment on America symbolically linked to the destruction of the Jewish Temples around the 9th of Av?  I do not think socialized medicine will pass before the August recess, but I could be wrong.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-604 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="9th of Av" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/9th-of-av.jpg" alt="9th of Av" width="421" height="308" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Part C</span>: Putting forth my best speculation on <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">how </span></em>and <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">when </span></em>the next stage of the economic collapse will occur, if it happens.</strong></p>
<p>Up until recently, I had planned to publish a <em><strong>detailed </strong></em>speculation in <strong>Part C</strong> that incorporated all the pieces of the puzzle I have shared with you in <strong>Parts A</strong> and <strong>B</strong> of this article.   I also had planned to present a great deal of supportive research.    But, I have had a change of heart and mind for the following reason:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Although this <strong>Part C</strong> speculation was reasonable and quite researched,<strong> I do not have confidence that the Part C speculation was God inspired</strong>, rather my best personal effort, i.e. an effort of man and my own understanding.   As such, it would be contrary to Proverbs 3.</p>
<blockquote><p>Proverbs 3:5-7  Trust in the <strong>LORD </strong>with all your heart, And <strong>lean not on your own understanding</strong>;  In <strong>all </strong>your ways acknowledge Him, And <strong>He shall direct your paths</strong>.  <strong>Do not be wise in your own eyes</strong> Fear the LORD and depart from evil.</p></blockquote>
<p>The only aspect of <strong>Part C</strong> that may be God inspired was an unusual very vivid dream that I had in 2008 in which I saw a <em><strong>panic dump </strong></em>of the US dollar on a financial chart.  It was <em><strong>not </strong></em>a gradual dollar decline as many economists are now predicting.  This is a sample of what industry experts are now saying:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">The financial crisis has focused attention on the dollar’s structural weakness</span>, but it’s not something that they’re going to change,&#8221; Jane Foley, research director at Forex.com told Bloomberg. “The dollar’s importance will reduce over time, <strong>but it’s not going to be something which will happen quickly</strong>.”</p></blockquote>
<p>But I do not have even one confirmation of the dollar panic dump dream.  Even if the speculation in <strong>Part C</strong> turns out to be correct in a general way, the knowledge may not be a help specifically to your personal situation. <strong>So what good would it be for you?  What lasting good is any information if it doesn’t bear good fruit for God’s eternal Kingdom?</strong></p>
<p><strong>So increase your focus on the Lord and view the following speculation with a <em>lower </em>regard.</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Speculative Summary of Part C:</strong></span></p>
<p>For the sake of completion of this article, I will include <strong>a summary</strong> of my best speculation, but not the specific details from which it was derived.</p>
<p>There will be some causative circumstance that might be seen <strong>to begin</strong> in July 2009 that will physically manifest fully between <strong>July 2009 and the end of the year</strong>.  Something that was signed behind closed doors in the G8 summit on 7/9/09 may begin a major breech of our national sovereignty and be related to the future implementation or the mark of the beast as discussed above.</p>
<p><strong>This event may or may not manifest itself in the financial markets.</strong> But if it does, then this is what might happen:</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is immediately ahead?  Deflation or Hyperinflation?  Recovery?</span></strong></p>
<p>Currently, there is a big debate amongst market professionals regarding what will happen in the financial markets from now to the end of the year.   Will there be a “recovery” or will there be a negative outcome.   If a negative outcome occurs, what form will it take on?   Will there be deflation first followed next year by inflation?  Or we will soon experience a hyperinflation spike this year associated with a dollar collapse?   Both negative scenarios would see the general equity markets sell off, but the associative causes would be different.   Are you going to be paying $1.20 per gallon of gasoline (deflation) or $10.00 per gallon (hyperinflation)?   Will there be riots in the cities of America this fall?   If so, what will be the cause of these?</p>
<p>I have <em><strong>second hand</strong></em> information that a group within the US Army has been given an extra large bonus of money by the US Government and was told to pay off their debts and buy 3 to 6 months of extra food for their families.  (Perhaps you might do the same, because food is cheap right now.)  They expect to be deployed within the US <em><strong>this fall</strong></em> for riot control.   This information came to me around February 2009.   I rechecked the source this week and the information still remains valid.   Could it change in the future?  Yes, of course.   But what would cause military troop deployment with cities of America?   Lindsey Williams still states he was <em><strong>told </strong></em>by one of the world elites that the US Dollar was going to collapse by December 2009.   The writings of the CFR also stated that <em><strong>by 2010</strong></em>, they wanted to have implemented their North American Community.   If this information turns out to be accurate and timely, then the hyperinflation spike would be a more likely occurrence by the end of this year.   I believe the most likely scenario will be a hyperinflation super spike.</p>
<p>Therefore, from now to the end of the year, it is possible that we will see another major sell off in the equity markets.   The <em><strong>Obama Stock Market Rally Failure Hypothesis</strong></em> holds that the stock market might go only a little bit higher from where it is now.</p>
<p>Pure fundamentals of open markets are <strong>not supportive</strong> of either a panic dollar collapse or a super spike in oil <em><strong>at this time</strong></em>.</p>
<p>A panic dollar collapse and/or a super spike in oil will only occur if the world elites manipulate the markets behind the scenes that the mainstream media presents to the general public.   If a hyperinflation spike occurs at the same time the US stock market collapses, where will your money be safe?   No place to run; no place to hide?   You will not be able to hide in cash.   A sure thing is to pay off your debts and to buy extra long shelf life food for your family.  The exact same advice the military commander gave the soldier as described above.</p>
<p>Currently, the oil market has gone down from June 2009.  What could immediately reverse the latest trend to cheaper oil?  A perceived economic recovery could moderately increase the price of oil.   But such a moderate increase would be a reflection of better economic times ahead. That would be good.</p>
<p>However, a bad possibility would be a massive oil spike that results from an Israeli attack on Iran.   The world elites could also then use this event as “<strong>the excuse</strong>” for oil producing countries to sell crude oil in <strong>Euros</strong>.   This in turn would force China and the world to immediately dump the US dollar.    Indeed, because the US Dollar is currently on such a weak foundation, <strong>any </strong>unexpected event that immediately changes the current market fundamentals of either crude oil and/or the US dollar would initiate an emotional chain reaction would result in what we refer to as a panic.</p>
<p>Since the <em><strong>Obama Stock Market Rally</strong></em> began, we have been in the eye of the economic hurricane.  Whatever the next adverse event is, to be consistent with <strong>the hurricane analogy</strong>, the event should be portrayed as originating <em><strong>externally </strong></em>to the United States of America.   The reason why the elite need to portray the event as originating <em><strong>externally </strong></em>to the United States is so they can shift the blame away from the US Administration and the Federal Reserve in order <strong>to maintain any hope of credibility</strong> when they <em><strong>force </strong></em>another “change we need” upon us.   Remember in <strong>Part A</strong> of this article, I made note the May 14, 2009 headline ‘<em>Obama warns Netanyahu: “Don’t surprise me with an Iran strike!</em>”’.   I also presented in <strong>Part A</strong> several other attempts by the world elites to lay the foundation for blaming others in the event of the next crisis.</p>
<p>The bottom line of my best speculation is that by 2010, the dollar will be replaced with some form of a multinational currency as consistent with the written words of the world elite.  With one push of a computer keyboard button, all your financial accounts could be converted by a simple mathematic formula to a new currency.  America’s financial sovereignty will be gone forever, made possible by the world elite and a rogue Congressional leadership and rogue Administration that considers themselves no longer bound by the original US Constitution.   Their higher allegiance is to the world government.   If US military troops are deployed within US cities this fall, the above information will serve as proof that the government knew about it ahead of time.   If this happens, will you still be in control of your government as guaranteed by terms of the US Constitution or will you be the victim of a world government tyranny in formation?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-605 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Copsoldiers_dees" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/copsoldiers_dees.jpg" alt="Copsoldiers_dees" /></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Practical Application of All information in Parts A, B and C of this article</strong></span></p>
<p>You have now spent a lot of time carefully reading this article.   What good is information if it remains all <strong>head knowledge</strong>?   How can you apply it to the real world?</p>
<p>As I made the transition from a medical student to a physician resident, I became keenly aware that head knowledge is far inferior to knowledge you can apply in the real world.  The tens of thousands of facts we learned as medical students were at best disjointed pieces of information in our heads.  In residency, only after learning how to use some of this information on a practical level did the knowledge become powerful, useful and truly interesting.   The same might be true for you regarding the practical applicability of information presented in this article.</p>
<p>Our residency training programs forced us to <strong>focus </strong>on the right way to use our head knowledge for practical application.</p>
<p><strong>What then should be your primary focus?</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Refocus FIRST on the Lord Jesus Christ:</span></p>
<p><strong>Always </strong>strive <strong>first </strong>to seek after Him in all things.   <strong>If you can achieve this</strong>, then He will provide for all you really need in the largest perspective of your life that there is.</p>
<p>Now that I have given you a summary of my best effort speculation, I again want to downplay the speculation!   I must warn you to never put your primary faith or focus in any speculation!   They are all efforts of man.   And so is the scenario above.   Odds are that my best speculation, even though reasonable and researched, will be wrong in major ways not yet known.   Only God knows the future for sure.   And more importantly, only God knows for sure what is best <em><strong>for your specific situation</strong></em>.</p>
<p>For your personal earthly situation and for the purpose of <strong>bearing the best fruit</strong> for God’s eternal Kingdom, please ask God directly <strong>yourself </strong>for His wisdom and understanding.    Perhaps He may inspire you to utilize some of the puzzle pieces in <strong>Parts A </strong>and <strong>B</strong> to specifically guide you through the next storm in <strong>your </strong>life; to help you understand what to do or not to do.    He may also inspire you not to use the puzzle pieces or conclusions presented in this article.    But you need to ask!</p>
<p>In order for you to be <em>eligible </em>to receive His wisdom and knowledge, you must <strong>fear the Lord</strong> with the utmost respect <em><strong>more than</strong></em> you fear earthly circumstances that now confront you, and He will direct your path.  You need to maintain a Divine perspective to be eligible to get <strong>the key</strong>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Isaiah 33: 5-6 </strong> The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high; He will fill Zion with his justice and righteousness.  <strong>He will be the sure foundation for your times, a rich store of salvation and wisdom and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is the key to this treasure. NIV</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>After </strong>you do this, then specifically ask God what, if any, information in this article can be used by you to bear fruit for His Kingdom.</p>
<p>God may have you use the information differently than He will direct another to use the information.</p>
<p>It is worth repeating again:   Do not fear your earthly circumstances but turn your perspective around and look for the Lord’s guidance to use all situations good and bad in your life <strong>to bear fruit for His bountiful harvest</strong>.   You cannot bear fruit for Jesus, without Jesus:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The True Vine is Jesus</strong></span></p>
<blockquote><p>John 15:5-8   “I am the vine, you are the branches.  He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; <strong>for without Me you can do nothing</strong>.   If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.   If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.  <strong>By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit</strong>; so you will be My disciples.</p></blockquote>
<p>God communicates with the world in many ways, foremost through His written Word, the Bible.  Thank you for the opportunity for me to share with you some of the unique information and perspectives that I believe the Lord may have orchestrated in my daily life’s path for over the past two years.   I am especially excited to be able to share with you the possibility that God may also be using numbers in major events of the world around us today to speak to His people.   It is my prayer that information shared with you will lead you even closer to the Lord so that you can participate in bearing even greater fruit for His eternal Kingdom!</p>
<p><strong>In the year of our Lord, Jesus Christ, 2009!<br />
Blessed is His Name!</strong></p>
<p>In His Mighty Grip!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Part B:</span> The unique, esoteric and perhaps prophetic information. It points to WHEN something may happen.   <span style="color: #ff0000;">It points to July 2009.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Time will tell if the following information has a strong predictive value or not, especially when considered together with the information presented in Part A and Part C.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I am not alone in describing <em><strong>what </strong></em>economic disaster may lie ahead in our future.  Far from it!   In fact, a large number of books specifically warning us of the upcoming depression have been published.  <img class="size-full wp-image-568 alignright" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Gerald Celente" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/gerald_celente.jpg" alt="Gerald Celente" />An example of a <em><strong>“what &#8211; will &#8211; happen”</strong></em> opinion given by a person with an extremely good historical track record is that of Gerald Celente, the CEO of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Trends Research Institute</span>.  Celente accurately predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the Soviet Union.   On November 13, 2008, Celente forecasted that <strong>by 2012</strong> America will become an undeveloped nation, that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more about obtaining food, not gifts.</p>
<p>In addition, I receive at least a half dozen emails every day warning of a looming dollar collapse with associated hyperinflation.  However, opinions are all over the board as to <em><strong>how </strong></em>and <em><strong>when </strong></em>this potential scenario may play out.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">When looking into the future, knowing the <em><strong>what</strong></em>, the <em><strong>when </strong></em>and the <em><strong>how </strong></em>about a major future event is probably the most powerful combination of information.  The information in <strong>Part B</strong> suggests <em><strong>when </strong></em>a major event may start to happen.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">If my thinking is correct, the event should be associated with <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>a God ordained change in the current world order</em></span>.  It most likely will come in a form of judgment against America that will mark a permanent adverse change.  The actual event of the <em><strong>July 2009</strong></em> time frame could be economic, geopolitical or some combination of both.  The event may or may not be readily apparent in July.  It is possible that we may need to go into August and then look back to July to say with certainty,</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="padding-left: 30px;">“Yeah, that was when we the change actually started.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>My initial focus on July 2009 began almost two years ago.  This is why:</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">A few months after July 2007, I noted that the S&amp;P 500 index of the stock market had a major topping pattern on July 13, 16, 17, 19.  All top price values were 1555.  I noted that numerical digits contained in the date 7/19/2007 when rearranged formed 77/2019.  Why did I notice this?</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Simply because these two numbers are the focus of the main chapter of my book that was already in progress.  And as I describe in my upcoming book, God may be using these numbers to point to an extremely important event involving movement starting from above descending downward to earth.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">As a <em><strong>top </strong></em>in the stock market, these numbers were consistent with this type of action.  After the 7/19/2007 stock market top was historically confirmed, I looked for the next time these same numbers would show up.  <span style="color: #ff0000;">This is July 2009.</span> 7/17/2009 contains the same digits as 7/19/2007. (The order of a “7” and a “9” in the dates are simply rearranged)  I knew that if July 2009 would also be associated with some kind of top in the financial markets, then it would add support to my hypothesis that God may be using numbers associated with these two stock market tops to point to the 77/2019 numerical pair, which again also illustrates a type of top. This top will be described fully in my upcoming book.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">In addition the range of 2013 to 2019 is meaningful to me on the basis of other knowledge I have received since 2004.  I am sorry but I cannot share why this information is meaningful to me now in this article.  It is too complicated and will take us off course for the purpose of this article.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">I also noted that 2019 is the Jewish year 57<strong>79</strong>.  This ends in ’<strong>79</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Had I published my book in 2008, as I originally wanted to do, the first two bullets points above would have been all the information about July 2009 that I would have been available to share.  But, the delay in publishing has allowed for more recent information to come available.  These more recent shorter-term pieces of the puzzle are potentially beneficial because they increase the predictive probability of the forecast.  <strong>It is analogous to the difference between trying to forecast the weather a year and a half ahead of time vs. forecasting the weather for tomorrow.  The latter should be more accurate.</strong></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>“The Obama Stock Market Rally” and 666.79.</strong></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">On March 4, 2009, Obama addressed the media and stated the he thought it was a “good time to buy stocks.”  Prior to his statement earlier that morning the Euro hit a significant bottom vs. the US Dollar.  <span style="color: #ff0000;">I believe that no President would dare to stick his neck out to call a stock market bottom unless people that control extremely large sums of money told him that it was a sure thing.</span> Time has proven that Obama did give correct information.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Two days later, on March 6, 2009 the S&amp;P 500 hit an intraday low of 666.<strong>79</strong>.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Many people made note of the 666.   I did also.  But I also noted the “<strong>.79</strong>”.  Why did  “<strong>.79</strong>” stick out to my mind?  For several reasons.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>First reason:</strong></span> An existing precedence.  <strong>I had seen God use the stock market to the hundredth decimal point in the recent past.</strong> I believe this to be a form of communication from God to those who will listen. September 2008 in the Gregorian calendar occurred in the Jewish year 57<strong>68</strong>.   On September 29, 2008, when the Congress failed to pass the bail out plan the first time, many noted that the DOW fell 777 points and thought that it may be associated with God’s numerical signature on the market.  From the Bible we know that God uses 7’s to mark an act of Divine completion in the earth realm.  <em><strong>Randall Russell</strong></em>, the host of this web site, was the individual who noted that the precise drop was 777.<strong>68</strong>.  He noted that day was <strong>the very last day</strong> of the Jewish year ending in <strong>’68</strong>!   If the market had fallen any other amount on any other day, week, or month, the exact price drop would have been meaningless.   My shock was that God was “on board” with America’s financial meltdown, (i.e. He allowed the financial collapse to happen!).   If people still doubted that God put his numerical initials on the market drop with 777, it appears that He underscored this truth with the inclusion of the <strong>.68</strong> as if to say, “Do you still not believe?”</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Second reason:</strong></span> I noticed the “<strong>.79</strong>” in the 666.79 stock market bottom as I had already been focused on July 2009 as detailed earlier, which of course is 7/2009 or <strong>7/9</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Third reason:</strong></span> I recalled that many people in the world had already associated Obama with 666 on the day he was proclaimed to be the winner of the US Presidency.   On 11/5/08, it happened through of all things, the Illinois winning lottery numbers!   So I rechecked the numbers and when I did, I found again <strong>666 associated with 79</strong>!    The following are the extremely unusual sequence of winning lottery numbers in the <strong>very state</strong> (Illinois), in the very city Obama is from (Chicago), and on the <strong>very day</strong> he was proclaimed president elect, November 5, 2008:</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<ul>
<li>11/05/2008          Evening Pick 3:       6-6-6  ( = mark of the beast)</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<ul>
<li>11/05/2008          Evening Pick 4:  7-7-<strong>7-9</strong> (Note triple 7’s and the <strong>79</strong> ending)</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<ul>
<li>11/05/2008          Midday Pick 3:  7-<strong>7-9</strong> (Note the <strong>79</strong> ending)</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<p class="MsoPlainText">It is equally important to point out that this numerical sequence did not occur in other state’s winning lottery numbers.  Verify these yourself at:</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText" style="padding-left: 30px;"><a title="The Illinois Lottery" href="http://www.illinoislottery.com/subsections/numbers2.htm" target="_blank">The Illinois Lottery</a></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<p class="MsoPlainText">So here we have Obama associated in two diverse strange ways with 666 and 79.  What does this mean?  Time will tell fully, but for now the question keeps on coming up to me:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoPlainText">“Is God trying to communicate something to us about July 2009?”</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<p class="MsoPlainText">Because of the accurate timing call of the March 2009 stock market bottom (which hit 666.<strong>79</strong>), I refer to the rally that started at this bottom as</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoPlainText">“The Obama Stock Market Rally”.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<p class="MsoPlainText"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis” and July 7 &#8211; 9, 2009:</span> An Analysis of a Time Cycle Currently Present in the Stock Market:</strong></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>&#8220;The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis”</strong></span>:   “The Obama Stock Market Rally” that started at a low of 666.<strong>79</strong> will fail to close above 1001.84, the price level high that was recorded when Obama was proclaimed, &#8220;President elect&#8221; on 11/5/2008, the other date that 666.<strong>79</strong> was associated with Obama via Illinois winning lottery numbers.  It is in this respect that the rally will be defined as a failed rally.  Also included in this hypothesis is the assertion that in July 2009 we will either see this rally <em>start </em>to fail or will see confirmation that it has failed.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<p class="MsoPlainText"><strong>Supportive information used to construct the hypothesis:</strong> In the Bible, a recurrent numerical theme is that “6” falls short of “7”.  “6” is associated with an effort of man, which falls short of God’s perfection on earth which in turn He numerically marks with ”7’s”.  As an effort of men, the Obama rally was marked numerically with three “6”s and thus it will also fail.  Moreover, and more specifically, “666” in the Bible is well known as the number associated with the mark of the beast.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><strong>Revelation 13:16-18</strong> &#8211;  “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.   18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoPlainText">
<p><em><strong>Interpretive speculation:</strong></em> Therefore, “666.<strong>79</strong>” is associated with an effort of man and foreshadows a rally that will fail.  This failed rally might also be associated with some sort of final judgment by God because God often uses the number <strong>9</strong> to represent a final judgment.   “<strong>.79</strong>” may be interpreted as a completed act of God in the earth realm (<strong>7</strong>) that takes form in a final judgment (<strong>9</strong>) .  Whether or not the “<strong>.79</strong>” has an additional meaning that points to the timing of <strong>7/9</strong> or July 2009 remains to be proven or disproven.</p>
<p>The failure of the rally that started at 666.79 also might be associated with key events that will in time lead to the implementation of the mark of the beast, as suggested by “666”.  If the mark of the beast is associated with a <em><strong>global cashless currency</strong></em>, then a <em><strong>dollar collapse</strong></em> logically has to happen at some point.  The mark of the beast Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled one way or another.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>A Time Cycle Currently Present in the Stock Market:</strong></span> Time cycles shown in the chart linked below support a good probability that some sort of major fast movement in the stock market will begin in the 7/ 7 &#8211; 9 / 2009 time window.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-576 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="sc" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sc2.png" alt="sc" width="551" height="328" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a title="The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis" href="http://stockcharts.com/c-sc/sc?s=$SPX&amp;p=D&amp;yr=0&amp;mn=9&amp;dy=0&amp;i=p60814209124&amp;a=171433943&amp;r=408" target="_blank"><strong>&#8220;The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis” and July 7 &#8211; 9, 2009</strong></a><br />
(Click Link For Large View)<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This time cycle information present in the stock market is supportive of the other information that has been made known to me over the past 1.5 years that focuses in on July 2009.</p>
<p>Note of Caution about Time Cycles in stock markets:  These cycles often fail for a multitude of possible reasons.  This is why it is so important to consider <em><strong>ALL </strong></em>the information available regarding July 2009.</p>
<p><strong>Current status of “The Obama Stock Market Rally”:</strong></p>
<p>As can be seen in the chart linked above, the highest the S&amp;P 500 index has been since the March 2009 is 956.23, which it hit on June 11 or <strong>6/11/09</strong>.   It is now July 3, 2009 and the S&amp;P 500 index has fallen to 898.   In order for the rally to invalidate <strong>“The Obama Rally Failure Hypothesis”</strong>, the index will need to reach greater than 1001.84 <strong>before </strong>the next major downward leg of the market begins.  The next major downward leg may or may not have already started. Nobody knows yet.</p>
<p>It is possible that the Obama Rally stock market top has already hit its peak price on <strong>6/11/09</strong> because the market it now looking weak and from the perspective of God’s numbers, “<strong>6</strong>” is an effort of man that fails by “<strong>11</strong>” an <em>unwise group of people in God’s eyes</em>, hence <strong>6/11</strong>.     I am just pointing out the curious consistency in God’s common use of the numbers <strong>6</strong> and <strong>11</strong> and the fact that the maximum top the rally has achieved thus far occurred on that date, not 6/10 nor 6/12 etc.</p>
<p><strong>Timing Relationship between the “The Obama Stock Market Rally Failure” and an Adverse Event for America:</strong></p>
<p>If there is no major world event this July 4th weekend, like North Korea successfully sending a nuclear missile to Hawaii, then there might be a “relief” rally sending the index higher into the time window of July 7th to July 19th.</p>
<p>A major adverse geopolitical or economic event most likely will not occur at the same exact time a stock market index puts in a significant top.  A price top could already be in as of <strong>6/11/09</strong> and the adverse event could occur in the month of July 2009.   Or a stock market price top could still occur in July 2009 and the major adverse event not manifest until August 2009.</p>
<p>Only God knows for sure and perhaps the power elites of the world have a good idea about when such things will occur.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>“233”, the 13th Fibonnacci number, and America</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>On July 4, 2009, America will be 233</strong> years old.   This number to most people is meaningless.   But I recognized it has important because of my knowledge background.   “233” is not only a Fibonacci number, but it is also the 13th number in the Fibonacci sequence.    Thirteen is the number of the priest and high priest in the Bible (another chapter in my book).   The Fibonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144, <strong>233</strong>&#8230;  The next number in the sequence is 377.  So you can see that there are very large gaps from either side of 233 to the adjacent Fibonacci numbers in the sequence (144 and 377).   Therefore, this year is a rare Fibonacci birthday for America.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-580" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Fibonacci" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fibonacci.jpg" alt="Fibonacci" /></a>Fibonacci numbers are ubiquitously present throughout creation and numerically support intelligent design, the existence of a Creator.  As such, it is rational and appropriate to include this unique observation in an article that examines God’s use of numbers in our world today.</p>
<p><strong> Interpretation:</strong> America had been God’s main nation on this earth to spread the Gospel.  When there was no Israel, America was the priestly nation shining God’s light to the world.   Befittingly, it started with 13 colonies, the priestly number, and was born in the seventh month as completed act of God in the earth realm.  As of July 4th, 2009, (<strong>7</strong>/4/<strong>09</strong>) America will have completed its priestly cycle of 13 and will somehow be drastically changed.   Unfortunately, it looks like this change will come in the form of a negative judgment.   At this time, look at our published debt which is $11 trillion.   God most often uses the number 11 in association with an <em>unwise group of people</em>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>July 9, 2009 and the 17th of Tammuz: The breaking of stone</strong></span></p>
<p><em><strong>More diverse evidence that points to July 2009:</strong></em></p>
<p>It just so happens that this <strong>July 9, 2009</strong> on the Gregorian calendar is also the 17th of Tammuz on the Jewish calendar.    The last time these dates matched up was 46 years ago in 1963.   So it doesn’t happen that often and therefore is worthy of special attention as we look for convergences of information.</p>
<p><strong>Recurrent Theme: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The crashing down and breaking of things made of stone</span>:</strong></p>
<p>The <strong>17th of Tammuz</strong> begins the Three Weeks of Sorrow for the Jewish people.   According to the Mishnah (Tractate Ta’anit 4:3) specific tragedies occurred on this date in the Jewish calendar.   All are associated with man’s breach of God’s laws and/or of His relationship with Him.  The first 17th of Tammuz tragedy occurred on the very day that Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the first set of <strong>stone </strong>tablets containing the Ten Commandments written by the finger of God.   Upon seeing the idol worship of the golden calf, Moses threw down and broke these <strong>stone </strong>tablets.   Also on very day this day in 586 BC, Nebuchadnezzar and his Babylonian forces breached the defensive <strong>stone </strong>walls of Jerusalem after many months of siege.   And again on this very same day in 70 AD, the defensive <strong>stone </strong>walls of Jerusalem were again broken down and breached.   This time it was by the Romans.</p>
<p>An important side note: Do you all see how God orchestrates common symbolic themes in time?  One of the reasons God does this is to help <strong>you </strong>know that He really does exist and that He is the master of time.   He is reaching out to you.   Ensure that you are reaching back to Him!</p>
<p><em><strong>Interpretative Questions:</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>Will July 9, 2009 / 17th of Tammuz mark the very day in which we will be able to see some major American guarantee be broken to pieces?</li>
<li>Will it be something all Americans had trusted to be <strong>“written in stone”</strong>?</li>
<li>Will America’s idol worship of its primary god, money, be analogous to the golden calf of Moses’ day?</li>
<li>Will this break of a guarantee take the form of the beginning of the dollar plunge and/or a major break of our US Constitution?</li>
</ul>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">“79” shows up in the World Population for July 2009, too? YES!</span> </strong>Another Bizarre Diverse Confirmation?</p>
<p>I have been following the world population for many years now, so I am not just picking out this number out of thin air to try to support my observations about “<strong>79</strong>”.  I hadn’t checked the number for at least 6 months, but when I check it recently here is what I found:  It just so happens that this July 2009 the world population clock places the value at:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>6.79 Billion.   07/09</strong> (6,790,062,216)</p>
<p>Note also the close similarity of 6.79 to the 666.79 of the Obama Stock Market Rally and of the Illinois winning lottery numbers.   Taking into account all of the information presented above thus far, I can’t with good conscience explain away the convergence of similar numbers.  What’s up with all the numerical convergences on 7/09?!   Perhaps these diverse associations will turn out to be  invalid, but time will render a definitive verdict very soon.</p>

<p><strong>Additional Confirmations?</strong></p>
<p>With all above information, my wife strongly encouraged me <strong>to pray for personal confirmation</strong> about the focus on “<strong>79</strong>” for two main reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>On the surface, the whole “<strong>79</strong>” thing looks crazy and</li>
<li>It may be wrong.  I agreed on all points.</li>
</ol>
<p>So I asked God for personal confirmations and I believe I did receive them.  Here is one apparent personal confirmation.</p>
<p>When on call for my anesthesiology duties one night at a local hospital, I had just finished bringing my patient to the recovery room.   The patient had done very well.   It was on my heart to share with one of the nurses the caution about the potential upcoming storm.   I started to tell her, but then I stopped and told her “No, never mind.   It will sound crazy to you.”   Immediately after this I realized I was missing an information sheet on my patient.   So I then asked the nurse if she would print one for me from the computer.   She went to the computer and printed out a sheet.   But when I looked at the sheet, I realized that she had printed information that was on the wrong patient.   This information had nothing to do with patient care.  The names were very similar, but still it was the wrong patient.   Then my eyes for some reason went down to the <strong>birth date</strong> on the sheet.   That birth date was <strong>July 9 (7/9)</strong>!   So, I said,</p>
<blockquote><p>“Wow! I guess this is a confirmation that I had just prayed to receive!  And I guess I am supposed to share this information with you!”</p></blockquote>
<p>And so I did.</p>
<p>Two other notes from the world scene that may or may not be coincidence.  The biggest stories I heard on the news during the fourth week of June 2009 was on the uprising in Iran, the Islamic Revolution of ’<strong>79</strong> and the tragic death of Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, who reportedly also died in debt. Michael Jackson was the <strong>7th of 9</strong> children in the family.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Conclusion of Part B:</strong></span> The collection of unique, esoteric and perhaps prophetic information I have been given and shared with you above not only is consistent with how God often uses the numbers <strong>7</strong> and <strong>9</strong> in the Bible, but also highly suggests a window of time we should focus on.</p>
<p>If the back wall of the economic hurricane is going to hit, this information might point to when it will happen.   It is this collection of diverse information that distinguishes this article from all other articles that you may find published elsewhere.   <strong>July 7 to 9, 2009</strong> is the center of the time window.   A wider time window of caution is warranted as storms may come early or late in any given season of time.   Therefore, I suggest that <strong>July 1 to 19, 2009</strong> is a window of time to watch for something dramatic to occur.</p>
<p>There is one other specific date, I would also watch.   This is July 30th, which corresponds to the 9th of Av in the Jewish calendar.   If this window of time passes and nothing happens, then we move on.    Part B will not have a ready explanation other than that the above associations were weak and invalid additions to the information presented in Part A.   The information in Part A, however, will remain strong and valid until proven otherwise.</p>
<p>The reason I am sharing this information is my believe that if the information is God inspired, then I do not think He would want to keep it only for my benefit.   Instead, He would want me to share the information with people as a testimony that <em><strong>He is the master and creator of time, He is in full control, and He also is using numbers in the world around us today to communicate with those who will listen.</strong></em></p>
<p>In His Mighty Grip!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>A 3 part article by Michael Magee, MD</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-559 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="financial_crisis1" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/financial_crisis1.jpg" alt="financial_crisis1" width="538" height="180" /></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Introduction</span></strong></p>
<p>I remember a story my Dad once told me that happened in the early 1960’s. It was a very foggy morning in Pittsburgh, PA. He heard an automobile crash on the road down the hill from our house. Knowing the danger for others, he grabbed some flares and ran down to the road. He lit the flares and began waiving them above his head. But, to his horror the oncoming drivers did not heed the warning! One by one, he saw the cars pass by. He then heard their brakes screech and then the crash of metal on metal. He told me a sixty car pile up had occurred. He had done the best he could.</p>
<p>It is in this spirit, well over forty years later, that I write this letter warning of a potential danger immediately ahead.</p>
<p>The world has experienced an unprecedented economic storm over the past year. Some are claiming that the worst is over and we are now recovering. However, as with real hurricanes, those who are physically in the eye of the storm do not know it and are fooled into believing the storm as past. Then unexpectedly to them, the back wall of the hurricane hits with sudden fury. This article warns that we are currently in the eye of an economic hurricane and that the back wall of the storm will soon hit.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Disclaimer</span></strong><br />
The conclusions drawn from the information presented below may not turn out to be correct.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Purpose</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Why am I writing this article?</strong> This article contains <strong>unique information</strong> associated in such a way that I believe you will not find anywhere else in the world.</p>
<p>This unique information points to <em><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">when</span></strong></em> a major event may happen to America. Most importantly, if it turns out to be correct, its contribution will be to illustrate one example of how God is using numbers in the world today to talk with His people.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The urgency of getting this message out now</span></strong></p>
<p>The unique information points to July 2009, next month.</p>
<p>It is much more meaningful and powerful to state accurately and share something <strong>before</strong> it happens compared to providing rationale why something happened after the fact.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Organization of this article</span></strong></p>
<p>The information presented below is a lot of information for anyone to absorb. Therefore, I have broken the information up into 3 main sections.</p>
<p><strong>Part A</strong> will review the information that is already known by millions and yet not known by billions. Most of this information is <strong>not</strong> covered by the mainstream media.  The information in Part A will be presented in an order that starts with “the big picture” of longer time frames and ends with more recent news headlines. Part A deals primarily with <strong>what has</strong> happened in the past and <strong>what is</strong> happening now.</p>
<p><strong>Part B</strong> will contain the unique information I have been given. It deals primarily with <strong>when</strong> something of major significance may happen in the near future.</p>
<p><strong>Part C</strong> will contain my best speculation on <strong>what</strong>, <strong>when</strong> and <strong>how</strong> a significant turning point event might happen. I do not expect the completion of whatever this event is until 2010. So we will be talking about a potential event initiated in July 2009 and ending at least six or seven months later.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The types or categories of information contained and their integrated usage within the article</span></strong></p>
<p>You will soon see that I will be integrating different types or categories of information, as a technique to solve a puzzle of future events. For example, geopolitical information will be tied to economic and financial information, which in turn may also be linked to Biblical prophetic information, which in turn may be linked to secular historical information. Historical information from years ago will be associated with historical information that just happened this month. The unique or esoteric information I will be sharing may act as the glue that puts these different pieces of information together.</p>
<p><strong>The final accuracy of this entire warning is dependent on whether or not I am correct in making links between the different pieces of information.</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Part A: What has happened and What is happening: Information that is already known by millions, but not by billions.</strong></span></p>
<p>I am going to string these facts together so you can follow the information trail. Please read closely. Going from the largest perspective with a longer time frame down to the smaller perspective with a shorter time frame:</p>
<p>The Bible tells us through symbolic language that the earth will be in an one world government when Christ returns. Unwittingly, those who advocate the completion of a new world order may not be fully aware of this. These people <em><strong>will be successful</strong></em> in implementing their new world order, but in the end, all their efforts will go catastrophically awry. They will fail as all efforts of men eventually do apart from the will of God.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-544" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="William Benton" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/william-benton2.jpg" alt="William Benton" width="180" height="231" /><strong>William Benton,</strong> US Assistant Secretary of State in 1946 states in a meeting of UNESCO, an organization of the United Nations,</p>
<blockquote><p>“As long as a child breathes the poisoned air of nationalism, education in world mindedness can produce only precarious results. As we have pointed out it is frequently the family that infects the child with extreme nationalism…The schools should therefore combat family attitudes that favor nationalism as opposed to globalism…We are at the beginning of a long process of breaking down the walls of national sovereignty…”. 1</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-546" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 55px 5px;" title="Paul Warburg" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/225px-paul_warburg_012.jpg" alt="Paul Warburg" width="180" height="216" />James Paul Warburg,</strong> before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on February 17, 1950 states,</p>
<blockquote><p>“We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or by consent.” 1</p></blockquote>
<p>Judging by how much those who are in power are trashing our US Constitution today, it looks like they are implementing their conquest option.</p>
<p>Now where was James Paul Warburg coming from? Well, his father was Paul Warburg. Paul Warburg was a key player in the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank in 1913 and was the founding director of the Council on Foreign Relations (<strong>CFR</strong>) in 1921. The CFR is a private club of political elites. You might ask,</p>
<blockquote><p>“Are the Federal Reserve Bank and the CFR linked in some way?”</p>
<p>Answer: Yes.</p></blockquote>
<p>Over the past 50 years, over 50% of all Presidential cabinet members have also been members of the CFR.1 Therefore, here is the line of powerful influence: International bankers, CFR members in cabinet, US President. Republican or Democratic President: it doesn’t make much difference. The Obama administration is no exception. Despite his campaign promise to get rid of Washington insiders, most of his cabinet members <strong>are former Clinton cabinet members</strong>.</p>
<p><strong> Richard Gardner</strong>, former US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State in the April 1974 issue of Foreign Affairs magazine, the official publication of the CFR writes,</p>
<blockquote><p>“We are likely to do better by building our house of world order from the bottom up rather than from the top down. An end run around national sovereignty, eroding it piece by piece, is likely to get us the world order faster than the old fashioned frontal assault.” 1</p></blockquote>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">They care more about ”new world order”(NWO)… a global government than they do about American sovereignty.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">BTW&#8230; Gardner took his own life on May 25, 2003 (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_A._Gardner" target="_blank">Source</a>)</p>
<p><strong>Strobe Talbott</strong>, one year before he became the US Deputy Secretary of State under Clinton 1993-2000, wrote in the July 20, 1992 edition of Time Magazine an article entitled, <a title="America Abroad: The Birth of a Global Nation" href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,976015,00.html" target="_blank">America Abroad: The Birth of a Global Nation</a>. In this article, he states as an optimistic guess that sometime within the 21st century (our century now),</p>
<blockquote><p>“…nationhood as we know it will be obsolete; all states will recognize a single, global authority.”</p></blockquote>
<p>After 2000, Strobe Talbott became the president of the Brookings Institute. Out of this institute comes Susan Rice, Obama’s US Ambassador to the UN.</p>
<p><strong> The global warming agenda is not an inconvenient truth, but a purposeful lie.</strong> It is a deception that is being utilized by the elites to try to get everyone in the world united on common theme…”We all breathe air, don’t we?” From this theme, the plan is to issue worldwide laws that will supersede national laws and sovereignty, thereby incrementally ushering their new world order, which is world government.</p>
<p>As a stage immediately preceding full implementation of a one world government, the Bible may be describing the existence of ten economic and political entities on the earth. The European Union with its common currency, the Euro, may be one of these ten. (The ten toes in Daniel 2:42.) The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperative (APEC) formed in 1994 and the African Union (2002) could be two others. The North American Community or Union described below may be another soon to come into reality. <strong>A dollar collapse may be the planned panic event that is used as the rationale to trick the American public to accept this union.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0pt none; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Falling Dollar" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/p_fallingdollar.jpg?w=300" alt="Falling Dollar" width="370" height="223" /></p>
<p>The Bible clearly foretells the scattering of the Jewish people from their homeland Israel to the four corners of the earth and in the last days a physical rebirth of this nation, which did happen in 1948. From 70 AD to 1948, there was no Israel.</p>
<p>The Bible clearly foretells that in the last of days that the large majority if not all nations will oppose Israel. We see this happening more and more in the news every day now.</p>
<p>The Bible clearly foretells that Christ will return during the time of one specific generation that unlike all others preceding it will see and experience an unique [exponential implied] growth in knowledge and in travel. Only the generation of today has ever fulfilled these criteria. Daniel 12.</p>
<p>The Bible clearly foretells a time in which no man rich or poor, free or slave may buy or sell without a number. This reality is not currently in place, but technologically is possible as the world moves to a cashless society and uses only numerical codes to make financial transactions. The most obvious example of this reality is the ever-expanding use of credit cards.</p>
<p><strong> Robert R. Prechter, Jr. </strong>has made the historical observation (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_b?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=Robert+R.+Prechter%2C+Jr+&amp;x=9&amp;y=20" target="_blank">Amazon References</a>) that in a huge secular collapse normally the first stage collapse is economic and it occurs <strong>before </strong>the second stage during which major wars occur. The last historical example we see is the economic collapse of the Great Depression, which created the right environment for the rise of Adolph Hitler. After the economic collapse World War II occurred.</p>
<p>We are currently in the worse economic collapse since the 1930’s Great Depression. We are most likely in the first stage of collapse, and it may not yet be over.</p>
<p>The destruction power of mankind is much greater now and more widely available among many countries than existed in the 1940’s when World War II occurred. Over 52 million people died in World War II.</p>
<p>The Bible foretells of a war the will kill 1/3 of all mankind. At the current world population level this would equate to over 2.2 billion people. This would occur in the second stage of a secular collapse.</p>
<p>The United States of America is in more debt than it ever has been and now is spending and printing more money than in any time in its history.</p>
<p><strong> In a June 16, 2009</strong> newsletter <a title="Forcasts &amp; Trends" href="http://www.investorsinsight.com/blogs/forecasts_trends/archive/2009/06/16/obama-on-course-to-double-national-debt.aspx" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Forecasts &amp; Trends</span></a>, Gary D. Halbert records,</p>
<blockquote><p>“Using the Obama administration&#8217;s own projections, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that, including the record 2009 budget deficit of $1.85 trillion, and huge annual deficits over 2009- 2019 will result in an additional $11.11 trillion in national debt, on top of the current $11.4 trillion.”</p></blockquote>
<p>The “Federal Reserve” Bank, which prints the US Dollar, now has to buy US Treasury Notes to make up for the lack of buyers willing to continue to finance our debt.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-556" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Amschel Mayer Rothschild" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/amschel_mayer_rothschild.jpg" alt="amschel_mayer_rothschild" /> Mayer Amschel Rothschild</strong> (1744 -1812), the godfather of the Rothschild Banking Cartel of Europe, has infamously been quoted as saying,</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Give me control of a nation&#8217;s money and I care not who makes the laws.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><a title="The Creature from Jekyll Island" href="http://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyll-Island-Federal-Reserve/dp/0912986212" target="_blank">The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve</a> (Paperback) by G. Edward Griffin p. 218.</p>
<p>The founding Fathers of this country specifically warned about what would happen if private bankers ever got control of the issuance of money in the country they had just founded. Thomas Jefferson knowing about the Rothschild’s European banking cartel warned about them in an 1802 letter to then Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.&#8221; (<a href="http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Thomas.Jefferson.Quote.CA94" target="_blank">Quote Reference</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>This country through knowledgeable and brave men had managed to block many attempts by the private banking families to fully gain a long term control over this nations money supply until 1913.</p>
<p>In the 1912 Presidential election, the Morgan Bank financed a third party candidate to split the Republican Party vote.  Teddy Roosevelt was that candidate and the third party was the Bull Moose Party. This allowed Woodrow Wilson to win and repay the banking cartel with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The vote was slipped through Congress after many had already left for home on Christmas Eve. The practice by Congress of “slipping things into bills” is rampant today.</p>
<p>The Federal Reserve Bank created by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 is a private banking cartel and the United States Government has no real power over it.  Its use of “Federal” in its name is a deliberate deception. It is no more part of the US Government than is Federal Express. See the video “<a title="Monopoly Men" href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7065177340464808778" target="_blank">Monopoly Men</a>” and read the book “<a title="The Creture From Jekyll Island" href="http://www.amazon.com/Creature-Jekyll-Island-Federal-Reserve/dp/0912986212" target="_blank">The Creature from Jekyll Island</a>”.</p>
<p>There truly exists a group of global elitists that control the majority of major events that happen in the world. They must operate behind the scenes in order to be successful and they are very good and experienced in their methods. They are the most powerful people on this earth.</p>
<p>These global elitists and the following entities are strongly related: The Federal Reserve, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the Bilderberg Group.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-555" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Robert Pastor" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/pastor2.jpg?w=178" alt="Robert Pastor" width="200" height="331" /> In 2001, Robert Pastor,</strong> a prominent member of the Council on Foreign Relations, published the book, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Towards a North American Community</span>, in which he passionately advocates the creation of an economic and security zone that unites Canada, The United States, and Mexico. Included is the advocation of a common single currency in this zone (pp. 111 – 115). Look closely at his choice of words written back in 2001:</p>
<blockquote><p>“This [creating a common currency in North America] is a significant proposal, but also one that will take substantial time <strong>for the elites</strong> and the public to digest and consider seriously.” (<em><strong>bold italics</strong></em> added for emphasis by me. He is admitting to the existence of <strong>the elites</strong>!)</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>In March 2005</strong>, the Council on Foreign Relations publishes their Chairman’s Statement entitled Creating a North American Community. On page 6 of this document they advocate</p>
<blockquote><p>“<strong>to craft an agenda for the future, we propose the creation by 2010 of a community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity for all North Americans.…</strong> The boundaries of the community would be defined by a common external tariff and <strong>an outer security perimeter</strong>. “</p></blockquote>
<p>Keep this truth prominently in your mind: Back in 2005, the <strong>elites</strong> wanted to have accomplished their goals by the year 2010. This is now only six months away. Also note their advocation of “an outer security perimeter”. They do not want a secure border between Mexico and the United States. (<a href="http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_eng.pdf" target="_blank">Article Source</a>)</p>
<p><strong> In May 2005,</strong> the CFR task force published <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Building a North American Community</span></em>. In this document, they advocate the creation of “a North American economic space” and “spreading the benefits of economic development”. This <strong>spreading of the wealth</strong> predates Obama’s slip of his true agenda during his campaign and is even bigger than the office of the President of the United States. Listen to their language:</p>
<blockquote><p>“NAFTA has transformed Mexico, but it has also deepened and made much more visible the divisions that exist in the country…The United States and Canada should establish a North American Investment Fund to encourage private capital flow into Mexico.” (<a href="http://www.cfr.org/content/publications/attachments/NorthAmerica_TF_eng.pdf" target="_blank">Article Source</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>In June 2005</strong>, Robert A. Pastor testified before the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The title of this testimony is <a title="Robert Pastor Testimony" href="http://www1.american.edu/ia/cnas/pdfs/pastor_testimony_june92005_2.pdf" target="_blank"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">A North American Community Approach to Security</span></em></a>. As in the March 2005 publication listed above, Pastor again advocated defending a continental perimeter. This means defending the northern border of Canada and the southern border of Mexico. Also, listen to his choice of elitist words as if he and others know better what is best for the American public at large.</p>
<blockquote><p>“The U.S., Mexican, and Canadian governments remain zealous defenders of an outdated conception of sovereignty even though their citizens are ready for a new approach.” Page 7</p></blockquote>
<p>Who is he, or others like him (<strong>elitists</strong>) to decide what <strong>our </strong>concept of sovereignty should be? My concept of national sovereignty is to follow and faithfully defend the original Constitution of the United States! And secondly, did he take a vote to support his assertion that “their citizens are ready for a new approach”? They are making this up to support in their words “an agenda”.</p>
<p>In 2006, one year later, it just so happened that there became a public outcry to secure the US – Mexican border! But one year earlier, the <strong>elites </strong>had already decided they wanted only a <strong>outer </strong>continental security perimeter and any imposition of a secure border within this defined land mass would be contrary to their agenda. Now you really know why, despite the huge public outcry to secure the US – Mexican border, nothing was done! The public wanted something done, but the elites did not. Who won?</p>
<p>First written in the 1990’s, the second chapter of the book <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Creature from Jekyll Island</span></em> by <span style="text-decoration: underline;">G. Edward Griffin</span> forewarns that in the future the banking elite cartel will utilize one of their favorite tactics to grow their wealth and power at others expense: The Bailout. The title of the second chapter is: <strong>“The Name of the Game is Bailout.”</strong> This tactic has now been implemented as planned just as this chapter described it would be. The Federal Reserve and governmental responses to the current economic melt down are at a minimum fully opportunistic and most assuredly driven by the banking cartels. Worse yet, is the potential that the conditions that created the environment for financial bubbles to form may have been encouraged by the banking cartel, although I have absolutely no proof of this.</p>
<p><strong> March of 2008</strong>. Over the weekend when the stock markets were not open, the Federal Reserve and Chase Morgan Bank announced a behind the doors deal that they were going to be so gracious as to buy Bear Sterns at a generous $2 per share. The Bear Sterns stock price had closed on Friday one day earlier near $29 per share. No other banks were offered the opportunity to bid on Bear Sterns. If you knew who owns the Federal Reserve and the majority of Chase Morgan, you too would had done a double take immediately as I did at that time. The owners are said to be the same international banking families.</p>
<p>In <strong>July and early August of 2008</strong>, a pastor named <strong>Lindsey Williams</strong> appears on several radio programs around the country. He is the author of the book, <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Energy Non-Crisis</span></em>. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-554" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="lindsey_williams" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/lindsey_williams.jpg" alt="lindsey_williams" />He claimed (and is still claiming today) that one of the world <strong>elites </strong>had called him and threatened him if he did not make some changes to his story.  Shortly after Pastor Williams complied with the <strong>elite’s </strong>demands, the <strong>elite </strong>told him ahead of time about the collapse in the price of oil and the financial collapse that was soon to start. In the month of July crude oil topped at $149 per barrel. Pastor Williams was <em><strong>told </strong></em>it was going down to $50 and very fast.  History now shows that this part of the information Pastor Williams was told really did happen.  In fact, crude dropped close to $30 per barrel and was held under $50 until recently. The second part of the information that Pastor Williams states the elite had told him has not yet happened. It is <strong>the collapse of the US Dollar</strong>. Just as the agenda back in Pastor’s 2001 book described. Does any of us have information suggesting the dollar will not collapse that is stronger than what Lindsey Williams was told was going to happen?</p>
<p>The remainder of 2008 is plagued with unprecedented bailouts and collapses of many financial institutions around the world.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>May 14 -17, 2009.</strong> The annual Bilderberg meeting was held in Athens, Greece. This was a highly secretive meeting of the world elite. Word is that one of the topics to be resolved was whether to make the current still unfolding economic crisis a long term depression like the 1930’s or make it a nasty shorter depression from the depths of which they would promote a faster recovery. <strong>Supposedly the nasty shorter depression won out. Stayed tuned and prepare for the back wall of the economic hurricane to hit. It is a planned event.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> May 14, 2009.</strong> On Israel’s birthday, <a title="Obama Warning" href="http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1085466.html" target="_blank">‘Obama warns Netanyahu: “Don’t surprise me with an Iran strike!”’</a> I believe that when the Israeli strike occurs, Obama has already planned his means of deflecting any blame away from himself. Happy birthday Israel!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> May 27, 2009.</strong> Obama, just as predicted in the scenario I&#8217;ll discuss in Part C of this article, took credit for the economic recovery in a speech.  Under the deception scenario I will put forth, I expect he will have to take more credit immediately before the crash starts.  <strong>So expect the markets to be even higher by July 7 &#8211; 9, 2009 than it was at the end of May.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> May 28, 2009.</strong> Arab oil leaders said,</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">“$75 &#8211; $80 a barrel is a fair price for crude.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">Possible Translation: Don’t think it&#8217;s unusual if crude oil is at this price range at the final top of the current stock market rally. If true, it would be the insider’s way of disguising their positioning before a major oil super spike.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>June 1, 2009. </strong>A federal judge approved “giving away” most of Chrysler’s assets to Fiat.  Interesting: Note the English definition of <strong>fiat </strong>–an arbitrary order or decree (Source: The American Heritage Dictionary, 1983). Since America abandoned the gold standard for its currency, the paper dollar is also called a fiat currency, an arbitrary order or decree.  Is there prophetic symbolism between the Chrysler give away of wealth to the give away of the value of the American dollar that is occurring?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-561 alignright" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="dollar crash" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dollar-crash.jpg?w=300" alt="dollar crash" width="299" height="266" />With the dollar dropping in value in the currency markets for the month of May 2009 and major nations openly urging the <strong>replacement of the US Dollar as the world’s main reserve currency</strong>, both the Obama Administration and Federal Reserve launched the dollar PR campaign. When the dollar does crash, they both want to make sure it seems like “an accident” and not in any way their fault.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong> June 1, 2009.</strong> Geitner goes to China. There,</p>
<blockquote><p>“Treasury Secretary Tim Geitner practically got laughed off the stage in China recently when he said China’s $768 billion of U.S. denominated assets were ‘very safe.’ The Chinese see the dollar’s in grave danger…” (<a href="http://hiddenvaluesalert.com/blog/index.php/2009/06/06/china-laughs-at-secy-geitner-do-you-agree-with-china/" target="_blank">Article Source</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Jun 3, 2008.</strong> Fed chief Bernanke defended the dollar. The tough talk was intended to put floor under greenback according to analysts. (<a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/feds-bernanke-defends-the-dollar-cites-economic-fallout" target="_blank">Article Source</a>)</p>
<p><strong> June 22, 2009.</strong> Obama deflected blame away from the Federal Reserve. CNBC quoted Obama saying,</p>
<blockquote><p>“It was not the FED where financial regulations broke down.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong> June 18, 2009.</strong> The NY Times reported on proposals to give the Federal Reserve even more power! This flies in the face of House bill HR 1207 that is working its way through Congress to audit and maybe abolish the Federal Reserve. Who will win? Or will it become a moot point soon as a new North American Banking Reserve is created out of the potential upcoming crisis? (<a title="HR 1207 North American Banking Reserve" href="http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2009/06/18/business/18regulate.graf01.ready.html" target="_blank">Article Source</a>)</p>
<p><strong> June 2, 2009.</strong> Obama invited Iranian envoys to US Embassies for Four of July parties! This had recently been referred to by some as “Hotdog Diplomacy”. (<a title="Hotdog Diplomacy" href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1243872313516&amp;pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull" target="_blank">Article Source</a>)</p>
<p><strong> June 2, 2009.</strong> Israel held it’s largest civil defense drills in the country’s history. I speculate that part of the <strong>elite’s </strong>plan is for Israel to attack Iran.</p>
<p><strong>June 3, 2009. </strong> Israel foreign minister spoke to the news media in Moscow and stated, “We do not intend to bomb Iran&#8230;” Having said this, I bet the Russians are going to be very irate if the Israelis do end up bombing Iran soon.  This would make some sense; however, as some time in the future the Bible is fairly clear that it will be Russia that leads a coalition of nations against the nation of Israel.  Ezekiel 38 &amp; 39 (<a title="Battle of Ezk 38 &amp; 39 (Gog &amp; Magog)" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/2007/10/18/the-war-of-gog-and-magog-understanding-ezekiel-38-39/" target="_blank">Battle of Gog and MaGog</a>).</p>
<p><strong> In June 2009,</strong> the <strong>Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative</strong> was fully implemented. This mandate is one that was never considered by Congress yet fully implemented into “law”.  Its rules govern travel documents between Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, the Caribbean region and the United States of America. This is the exact same land region described four years earlier in the North American Community agenda documents above.  I believe it is <strong>hard evidence</strong> that despite significant public awareness of what is going on behind the scenes, the elitist agenda <strong>is </strong>in the process of being fully implemented. (<a title="Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative" href="http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html" target="_blank">Article Source</a>)</p>
<p><strong>June 24, 2009.</strong> Obama stated that we will absolutely pass (socialized) health care this year. Congress is slated to go on vacation Friday, July 17th. If they shove health care down the throats of Americans by then, will the crash start in earnest that weekend?</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion of Part A:</strong> The <strong>elites </strong>of the world have clearly been working towards the creation of a one-world government for many years now. They are patient, driven, and powerful. They have more wealth at their disposal than a thousand Bill Gates and Warren Buffets combined! They heavily control the mainstream media. They strive on public conflict by using it not only to their economic advantage, but also to focus the attention of the public on anywhere and everywhere but on them.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” as depicted in the Wizard of Oz movie.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes, they must operate clandestinely. Yet they publish much of their intentions by various means, except through mainstream media. Perhaps this is some internal moral code or rationalization:</p>
<blockquote><p>“Oh, well, we did tell you what we were going to do!”</p></blockquote>
<p>Could this attitude be their moral equivalent of <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Mein Kampf</em></span>? They are persistent from one generation to the next. They will work in small steps they refer to as incrementalism, but will rush in quickly to take full advantage of panics and crises that they may even help to engineer. Haven’t we seen these over the past year?</p>
<p>A North American Union may be part of ten eventual economic and political unions on the earth that precede a fully implemented one-world government.<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-553" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Shred Constitution" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/cont_dees.jpg?w=269" alt="Shred Constitution" width="311" height="346" /> A collapse of the US Dollar is a stated goal of the world <strong>elites </strong>and may be the final nail in the US Constitution they use to achieve it.  It seems like they are well in the process of simply implementing their pre-published agenda. And by looking at how reckless our politicians have been with our money and property, it appears that the politicians are either being duped, controlled, or even complicit as their “changes we need ” (Obama’s campaign mantra) fundamentally accelerate the potential for a dollar crash.  Remember the words of James Paul Warburg, before the US Senate Committee on Foreign Relations on February 17, 1950 states,</p>
<blockquote><p>“We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or by consent.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Public be damned!</p>
<p>If this economic storm is analogous to a hurricane, do not be deceived…we are now in the eye of the hurricane. In hurricanes, the back wall of the storm is more severe than the front wall of the storm and the wind comes from the opposite direction.  If we are in the eye, the back wall should be portrayed by the mainstream media as originating <strong>externally </strong>from the United States of America because the front wall of the storm was blamed on conditions that originated <strong>internally </strong>from within the country (the housing and credit bubbles).</p>
<p>Most importantly, during the storm <strong>keep your eyes on Christ</strong>. Look at the biggest picture of all.  On the other side of all the storms in your life, being born again, you will be with Him.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="size-full wp-image-357 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Daniel's 70th Week (4 Horses-of-the Apocolypse)" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/4-horses-of-the-apocolypse.jpg" alt="Daniel's 70th Week (4 Horses-of-the Apocolypse)" /></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">It has been proposed that Daniel’s 70<sup>th</sup> Week could begin in the year 2009 and run through 2016 which equates to the Jewish years of 5770-5776.  (Reference <a href="http://2010rapture.org/index.html" target="_blank">Daniel Matson’s work, in particular, Signs of the End</a>.) <em>(For a detailed Jewish calendar, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_holidays_2000%E2%80%932050#5774_.282013.E2.80.932014.29" target="_blank">click here</a>.

</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Although chapter and verses weren&#8217;t added to the scriptures until the 14th/15th century&#8230; this study attempts to look at Psalms 109 through 119 from a prophetic standpoint, with the view in mind that this period of time may represent Daniel’s 70<sup>th</sup> Week and beyond. Could this be a mere coincidence or truly divine?<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>A Little History</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I became aware of Daniel Matson’s work in mid 2005, and the Prophecy in the Psalms concepts somewhere around that same time.  As we shall see, Psalm 110, (113), 117, 118, and 119 are particularly intriguing, and initially gave me pause as they were read with the time frame of 2009 – 2018 in mind. However, Psalms 111 through 116 did not appear to fit the description of what would be happening in the world during the time of Daniel&#8217;s 70th Week and the Great Tribulation.  These ideas were placed on the back burner, and eventually forgotten.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Recently, in his </span><a title="Five Doves - Pentecost Revisited" href="http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2009/fmriley415.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">15-Apr-09 posting at Five Doves &#8211; <em>Pentecost Revisited</em></span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> &#8211; Pastor FM Riley noted how Psalm 109 seemed to indicate the unveiling of the “opposing one” (Anti-Christ, Man of Sin). With his thoughts on my mind, Psalm 109 through Psalm 119 were re-read again with the view of 2009 (Jewish Year 5770; </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Sept 19, 2009</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">) – 2018 (Jewish Year 5779; </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Sept 10, 2018</span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">) in mind. It was during these subsequent readings that a new insight was noted which suddenly seemed to make everything fall perfectly into place. This study aims to convey these observations for further scrutiny.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">These conclusions are reached in large part through a view of Ezekiel’s prophecy (from Chapter 5) of 430 years where the land did not observe her Sabbath. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Seventy years were paid during the years Israel were in captivity in Babylon.  This left 360 years to be paid.  There is also the odd verse in <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2026:23-24;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Leviticus 26:23-24</a> where a payment for sin would be multiplied 7 times.  This left a total of 2520 years remaining where the land was to be desolate as payment for Israel not observing her Sabbaths when in the land. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Daniel Matson shows in his work that the 2520 years, when converted to 360 day years, runs from: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>July 16, 537 BC</strong> (Persian King Cyrus conquered Babylon and issued a decree for the Jews to return to their land) until<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>May 14, 1948</strong> (Israel reborn as a nation) </span></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">See here <a href="http://brittgillette.com/WordPress/?p=16" target="_blank">Biblical Prophecy: Israel to be Restored as an Independent Nation in 1948</a> and <a href="http://2010rapture.org/booknews.html" target="_blank">Signs of the End &#8211; Book Outline</a> for a more detailed description of these times, for there are many more than the one reference noted here. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Daniel Matson then uses day counts between Jewish feast days and the day counts given in the book of Daniel and Revelation (along with many additional arguments) to propose that the time of Daniel&#8217;s 70th Week runs from 2009 through 2016 (Again, keep in mind the Jewish New Years 5770-5776). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">J.R.</span> <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Church and others (including F.M. Riley&#8217;s recent article on </span><a title="Five Doves - Pentecost Revisited" href="http://www.fivedoves.com/letters/apr2009/fmriley415.htm" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">15-Apr-09 posting at Five Doves &#8211; <em>Pentecost Revisited</em></span></a><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><em> </em>) have also proposed that the Psalms may follow a prophetic sequence in terms of the year (in Gregorian calendar years).   For example, Psalm 33 relating to the year 1933, Psalm 48 relating to the year 1948, Psalm 67 relating to the year 1967, and so on.</span></p>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><a href="http://www.prophecyinthenews.com/articledetail.asp?Article_ID=221" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Prophecies in Psalms 108-110 &#8211; That Thy Beloved May Be Delivered</span></a></li>

</span></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">(After reading the above articles by J.R. Church, you will see that he has a slightly different interpretation of these particular Psalms&#8230; nevertheless, keep reading and you decide!)<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>The Hypothesis</strong> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Psalms 109 – 119 potentially align with the time frame of 2009 – 2019 representing Daniel’s 70<sup>th</sup> Week and the first two years of the Millennium.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 109 – Representing 2009</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Psalm 109 sets the table for what is to follow.  It starts by the plea for the appointment of  a &#8220;wicked man&#8221; (i.e., Antichrist) and let &#8220;an Evil One&#8221;, &#8220;an accuser&#8221;, or &#8220;adversary&#8221; one to oppose (i.e., Satan).  Notice the text states two different individuals! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This is in verse 6 of Psalm 109:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">6</sup> Set a wicked man over him, and let an accuser stand at his right hand <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">(NKJV)</span>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">6</sup> Appoint an evil man to oppose him; let an accuser stand at his right hand. (NIV)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">6</sup> Set thou a wicked man over him; And let an adversary stand at his right hand. (ASV)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">6</sup> Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary  standeth at his right hand. (YLT)</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The &#8220;accuser&#8221; throughout scripture is Satan.  But there is also another section of Psalm 109 that is striking.  These are verses 21–31: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">21</sup> But You, O GOD the Lord, Deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your mercy <em>is</em> good, deliver me.  <sup class="versenum">22</sup> For I <em>am</em> poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me.  <sup class="versenum">23</sup> I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like a locust.<br />
<sup class="versenum">24</sup> My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.  <sup class="versenum">25</sup> I also have become a reproach to them; <em>When</em> they look at me, they shake their heads.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">26</sup> Help me, O LORD my God!  Oh, save me according to Your mercy, <sup class="versenum">27</sup> That they may know that this <em>is</em> Your hand— <em>That</em> You, LORD, have done it!  <sup class="versenum">28</sup> Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice.  <sup class="versenum">29</sup> Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">30</sup> I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.  <sup class="versenum">31</sup> For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save <em>him</em> from those who condemn him.</p></blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Here the cry turns to the Lord to save the one who is poor and needy, the one who’s heart is wounded, and fading away. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In verses 26 and 27, the Psalmist cries out: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“Help me, O Lord, my God; save me in accordance with your love.  Let them know that it is your hand, that you, O Lord, have done it.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Imagine Israel crying out these words to God Almighty as the many accusers, and the newly appointed Evil One, stand around Israel and accuse her.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&#8212;&#8211; <em>thoughts by Randall&#8230;</em></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I want to point out another possible connection that I see in this verse that <strong>possibly </strong>indicates the timing for this representing 2009. Notice in verses 22-25:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">22</sup> For I <em>am</em> poor and needy,<br />
And my heart is wounded within me.<br />
<sup class="versenum">23</sup> I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;<br />
I am shaken off like a locust.<br />
<sup class="versenum">24</sup> <strong>My knees are weak through fasting,<br />
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.</strong><br />
<sup class="versenum">25</sup> I also have become a reproach to them;<br />
<em>When</em> they look at me, they shake their heads.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong> </strong></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Is it possible that this verse correlates with <a title="Isaiah 17" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2017;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Isaiah 17</a> and the timing of the destruction of Damascus? In particular verse 4: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">4</sup> “ In <strong>that day</strong> it shall come to pass <em>That</em> the <strong>glory of Jacob will wane</strong>, And the <strong>fatness of his flesh grow lean</strong>.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This could be a stretch, and I&#8217;m certainly open for discussion; but it appears to me that all nations are starting to turn against Israel, and verse 4 of Isaiah 17 matches up with verse 24 of Psalm 109?<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Almost all theologians believe that this destructive event is on the horizon.  We all can agree that the terrorist, Jihadist group of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah" target="_blank">Hezbollah</a> primarily resides in Damascus, Syria; and they are interconnected to some degree with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatah" target="_blank">Fatah</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas" target="_blank">Hamas</a> of the <a title="Palestinian Territories" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Territories" target="_blank">Palestinian Territories</a>; <a title="Al-Qaeda" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Qaeda" target="_blank">Al-Qaeda</a>, <a title="Muslim Brotherhood" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood" target="_blank">The Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt</a> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">and the <a title="Taliban" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban" target="_blank">Taliban of Afghanistan</a>!  Therefore, the destruction of Damascus as described in Isaiah 17 makes perfect sense at this time&#8230; simply keep your eyes and ears open to foreign news sources.  But make no mistake about it&#8230; <strong>this is NOT the Battle of Ezk 38-39 yet&#8230;</strong> keep reading and you&#8217;ll see when this war starts in my opinion!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Back to Erik&#8230;</span></em></span><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong> </strong></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 110 – Representing 2010 (Jewish Year 5770; Sept 19, 2009) – Daniel’s Final Week &#8211; 1st Year</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Before you read any further, I ask you to do something.  Go to your Bible, and read <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%20110;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Psalm 110</a> (NKJV).  Let the Spirit and the Word minister to you.  In fact, read it several times through.  For Psalm 110 happens to be one of the most amazing passages in all of God’s wonderful Holy Scriptures.  Here it is, in its entirety from the NIV:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Psalm 110:1-7&#8230;Of David. A psalm. </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">1 The LORD says to my Lord: &#8220;Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.&#8221; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">2</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">3</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">4</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: &#8220;You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.&#8221; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">5</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> The Lord is at your right hand; he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">6</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">7</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> He will drink from a brook beside the way; therefore he will lift up his head.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">These passages surely point to Christ and the ministry he was going to have – one in the order of Melchizedek.   But look at verse 1! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Christ today is ministering for His bride in the Heavenly Holy of Holies.  This we are told in <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%207:25;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Hebrews (reference Chapter 7, esp vs 25)</a>.  But again, look what happens in verse 1: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Lord (the Father) says to my Lord (Jesus): </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">It is as if the Father is telling his Son, “WELL DONE! Now, sit and watch my mighty arm work on your behalf.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Do you see the tie between Psalm 109 (<em>the accuser, the Evil One, and Israel crying out to be saved</em> (as the <a title="Rapture or Escape" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/rapture/" target="_blank">&#8220;Rapture&#8221; or &#8220;Escape&#8221;</a> has already happened) and Psalm 110:5 speaks of how the Lord will “crush kings on the day of his wrath” </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">(<em>the Lord starting to move to make his enemies a footstool for the Messiah</em>?). </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Oh, that day is nearly here!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 111 – Representing 2011 (Jewish Year 5771; Sept 9, 2010) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 2nd Year</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">This is where the key comes to understanding the next six Psalms</span>, from Psalm 111 through Psalm 116.  Do not read them from the perspective of the world, which will start down the process of literally being torn apart at the seams.  <em>Read them, instead, from the perspective of the Jewish people,</em> and in particular, the 144,000 sealed by the Holy Spirit and those who hear the ministry of the Two Witnesses!  These Psalms, praise God, show Israel’s heart starting to soften! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Look at Psalm 111:3-4:<br />
</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup class="versenum">3</sup> His work <em>is</em> honorable and glorious,<br />
And His righteousness endures forever.<br />
<sup class="versenum">4</sup> He has made His wonderful works to be remembered;<br />
The LORD <em>is</em> gracious and full of compassion.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Will God Almighty work wonders to allow Israel to remember the wonders of old?  You better believe it!  What might these be? Look at verse 5: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><sup class="versenum">5</sup> He has given food to those who fear Him;<br />
He will ever be mindful of His covenant.</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Here He is providing food as this could be due to the results of the &#8220;Rider of the 3rd (Black) Horse of Famine&#8221;. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Look how Psalm 111 ends in verse 10: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding.  To him belongs eternal praise.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Is this verse talking about national Israel beginning to learn true wisdom from the fear of the Lord?   Oh, Glory if this is so!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Psalm 112 – Representing 2012 (Jewish Year 5772; Sept 29, 2011) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 3rd Year</span></strong></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The themes expressed here seem to represent one standing firm in the Lord when those around in the world are experiencing great anguish and fear.  Sound reasonable for the second year of Daniel’s 70<sup>th</sup> Week?  You better believe it! </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">From verse 4 “even in darkness light dawns for the upright”, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">verse 7 “He will have no fear of bad news;”<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">verse 8 “His heart is secure, he will have no fear;” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">while all the time, as verse 10 notes: </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“The wicked man will see and be vexed, he will gnash his teeth and waste away; the longings of the wicked will come to nothing.” </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Thoughts by Randall&#8230;</span></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Notice the phrase &#8220;gnash his teeth&#8221;&#8230; this phrase and &#8220;outer darkness&#8221; in other parts of scripture indicates the &#8220;Tribulation&#8221; period.  See Matt 8:12; Matt 22:13; Matt 24:51; Matt 25:30; and Luke 13:28.  Read these verses in context as I see it representing the Tribulation Period. What do you think?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;">Back to Erik&#8230;</span></em><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Note also the blessing in verse 2 “the generation of the upright will be blessed.”  Will this be THE GENERATION that lives to see the return of Messiah?  Oh, praise God!  Will this be THE GENERATION of Israel that finally, finally lives uprightly in full view of the KING?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong> </strong></span></em></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Here, praise of the Lord continues.  Enough said. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Thoughts by Randall about Psalm 113 and the corresponding time period:</span></strong></em></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Now, Erik didn&#8217;t have anything to add in regards to Psalm 113; however, I believe he missed a VITAL part to this all important Psalm. At this point the &#8220;Abomination that causes Desolation&#8221; has occurred and Israel&#8217;s eyes are completely opened now&#8230; Keep Reading!<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Not only does the Praising of the Lord continue, but in verses 7-8 there appears to be a type of &#8220;Resurrection&#8221; here. Now pay close attention and let me know what you think. (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/?action=getVersionInfo&amp;vid=15" target="_blank">YLT</a>)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">7 He is raising up from the dust the poor, From a dunghill He exalteth the needy. 8 To cause to sit with princes, With the princes of His people.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In verses 7 &amp; 8 as stated above, a resurrection of &#8220;righteous&#8221; Jews seems to take place and they will meet the already &#8220;<a title="Rapture or Escape" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/rapture/" target="_blank">Raptured</a>&#8221; Bride who were taken 3.5 years earlier.  IF this takes place in the middle of the Tribulation, does this equate to what Daniel 12:2 says which also takes place in the middle of the Tribulation (Start of Great Tribulation) </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">(<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/?action=getVersionInfo&amp;vid=15" target="_blank">YLT</a>):</span></p>

</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In this verse, keeping it in context, it appears that not only were righteous Jews resurrected (as indicated in Psalm 113:7-8), but also unrighteous Jews were as well; some are raised to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8220;life age-during&#8221;</span> <strong>(i.e., everlasting life)</strong>, while the other group could be the Jews whom never believed in God as they are raised to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">&#8220;reproaches &#8212; to abhorrence age-during&#8221;</span> <strong>(i.e., to shame and everlasting contempt</strong></span><strong>)</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">IF Psalms 113 represents the year 2013 (Jewish Year 5773 &#8211; Sept 17, 2012 &#8211; Sept 4, 2013), then this possibly ties into my <strong>theory </strong>of this time being &#8220;Mid-Trib&#8221; (<em>a.k.a., The Abomination of Desolation</em>) Dan 11:31; Dan 12:11; Matt 24:15. You can also validate this time period with Revelation 10:1-7: </span></p>
<h5>The Mighty Angel with the Little Book</h5>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">1</sup> I saw still another mighty angel coming down from heaven, clothed with a cloud. And a rainbow <em>was</em> on his head, his face <em>was</em> like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">2</sup> He had a little book open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea and <em>his</em> left <em>foot</em> on the land, <sup class="versenum">3</sup> and cried with a loud voice, as <em>when</em> a lion roars. When he cried out, seven thunders uttered their voices.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">4</sup> Now when the seven thunders uttered their voices, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven saying to me, “Seal up the things which the seven thunders uttered, and do not write them.”</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">5</sup> The angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised up his hand to heaven <sup class="versenum">6</sup> and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, <strong>that there should be delay no longer</strong>, <sup class="versenum">7</sup> but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets.</p></blockquote>
<p>And again with <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Dan 12:4-12:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">4</sup> “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and <strong>seal the book until the time of the end</strong>; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”<br />
<sup class="versenum">5</sup> Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. <sup class="versenum">6</sup> And <em>one</em> said to the man clothed in linen, who <em>was</em> above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders <em>be?</em>”<br />
<sup class="versenum">7</sup> Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who <em>was</em> above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>it shall be</em> for a time, times, and half </strong></span><em><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>a time</strong></span>;</em> and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these <em>things</em> shall be finished.<br />
<sup class="versenum">8</sup> Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what <em>shall be</em> the end of these <em>things?</em>”<br />
<sup class="versenum">9</sup> And he said, “Go <em>your way,</em> Daniel, for the words <em>are</em> closed up and sealed till the time of the end. <sup class="versenum">10</sup> Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.<br />
<sup class="versenum">11</sup> “<span style="color: #ff0000;">And from the time <em>that</em> the daily <em>sacrifice</em> is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, <em>there shall be</em> one thousand two hundred and ninety days. </span><sup class="versenum">12</sup> Blessed <em>is</em> he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.</p></blockquote>

Is it a mere coincidence that the Mayan calendar declares that there is no more time on this date? <strong>Their calendar stops because it&#8217;s Mid-Trib and God&#8217;s grace has come to an end? </strong>The Mayans also believed that at this time when the Sun aligns with our Milky Way Galaxy that a <em>&#8220;window into the underworld will open up&#8221;.</em> (The Mayan Calendar and the 2012 Planetary Alignment can be best explained by John Major Jenkins.) At the same time, in Revelation 12:7-17, Satan is thrown down to the earth to have his way for the final 3.5 years (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/versions/?action=getVersionInfo&amp;vid=50" target="_blank">NKJV</a>).</span></p>
<blockquote>
<h5>Satan Thrown Out of Heaven</h5>
<p><sup class="versenum">7</sup> And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, <sup class="versenum">8</sup> but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. <sup class="versenum">9</sup> <strong>So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.</strong></p>
<p><sup class="versenum">10</sup> Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for <strong>the accuser of our brethren</strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">(just as in Psalms 109:6)</span>, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. <sup class="versenum">11</sup> And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. <sup class="versenum">12</sup> Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.</strong></span>”</p>
<h5>The Woman (Israel) Persecuted</h5>
<p><sup class="versenum">13</sup> Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male <em>Child.</em> <sup class="versenum">14</sup> But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle <em>(possibly the United States?)</em>, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>nourished for a time and times and half a time</strong></span> <em>(3.5 years remaining)</em>, from the presence of the serpent.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">15</sup> So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood. <sup class="versenum">16</sup> But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. <sup class="versenum">17</sup> And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring <strong><em>(Saints/Christians who came to Christ during the Tribulation and those Christians who missed the Rapture because they were not living obediently to God&#8217;s word before the Rapture occured)</em></strong>, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Also, the &#8220;Mid-Trib&#8221; time frame is apparent as you keep reading in Daniel 12:7 where he tells us there are only <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">3.5 years remaining until Jesus&#8217; Second Coming</span></strong> (i.e., The Great Tribulation):<br />
</span></p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">7</sup>And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] upon the waters of the flood, and he doth lift up his right hand and his left unto the heavens, and sweareth by Him who is living to the age, that, `<strong>After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, finished are all these.</strong>&#8216;</p></blockquote>
<p>And further in verses 10-11:</p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">10</sup>Purify themselves, yea, make themselves white, yea, refined are many: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely do understand;</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">11</sup>and <strong>from the time of the turning aside of the perpetual [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] days a thousand, two hundred, and ninety</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I think it&#8217;s important to continue to look at a few more details that are taking place at this time.  Notice in verse 7 above, Daniel makes reference to a &#8220;Flood&#8221;, during my studies, a flood in biblical terms is sometimes represented as &#8220;War&#8221;. (I read that flood=war in a book by J.R. Church &#8220;They Pierced the Vail&#8221;;  nevertheless)&#8230; Even if that&#8217;s not the case,  Daniel 12:2-7 validates that a resurrection takes place at mid-trib; therefore&#8230;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This nugget takes me over to Ezk 37 (<span style="color: #ff0000;">The Valley of Dry Bones Resurrection</span>).  Many pulpit &#8220;preachers&#8221; these days teach that this text is allegorically referring to the rebirth of Israel&#8230; I believe they are wrong in their interpretation. This is NOT allegorical, but instead LITERAL!   As unnatural as this text may sound, I believe this text is speaking of an actual resurrection of the  Jewish people&#8230; As we&#8217;ve already discovered stated in Dan 12:2 and in Psalms 113:7 above.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This Ezk 37 text gives a vivid description of this resurrection&#8230;  But take note in verses 10-11:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">10</sup>And I have prophesied as He commanded me, and the Spirit cometh into them, and <strong>they live</strong>, and <strong>stand on their feet</strong> &#8212; <strong>a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">very very great force</span></strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>The NKJV says they became &#8220;<span style="text-decoration: underline;">an exceedingly great army</span>&#8220;!</p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">11</sup>And He saith unto me, `Son of man, <strong>these bones are the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">whole house of Israel</span></strong>; lo, they are saying: Dried up have our bones, And perished hath our hope, <strong>We have been cut off by ourselves</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Notice the text says they have been &#8220;cut-off&#8221; by themselves&#8230; they never believed God, so could these people be the Jews who are raised to &#8220;Shame and everlasting contempt&#8221; as stated in Daniel 12:2?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">At this point you see there now exists an <strong>&#8220;Exceedingly Great Army&#8221;</strong> possessing the land of Israel&#8230; the final 3.5 years, the &#8220;Great Tribulation&#8221;.    Could this be part of the reason that a demonic, angelic army of 200,000,000  goes forth to slay 1/3 of mankind from the East as stated in the 6th Trumpet War in Revelation 9?  We know this is NOT a human army because research by Joel Young shows there are only approximately 60 million horses in the world.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I believe that right after this resurrection of Ezk 37, the world will finally see Ezk 38 &amp; 39 come to pass, the <a title="Battle of Ezk 38 &amp; 39 (Gog &amp; Magog)" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/2007/10/18/the-war-of-gog-and-magog-understanding-ezekiel-38-39/?preview=true&amp;preview_id=6&amp;preview_nonce=76539b9cd5" class="broken_link"  target="_blank">War of Gog/Magog</a> which will continue up to and conclude at the Battle of Armageddon!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Therefore, I too am only a student of Eschatology and feel there is some relevance to what going on here at &#8220;Mid-Trib&#8221; with the data I&#8217;ve just presented here in Psa 113.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">As the final 3.5 years unfold, the Jews are heavily persecuted as stated in Zechariah 11-14, and other scriptures, and the <a title="Blood Moons" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/2008/05/01/blood-moon-eclipses-2nd-coming-of-jesus-christ/" target="_blank">Blood Moons</a> that take place in 2014-2015 on Jewish Feast Days&#8230;. (see also <a href="http://kingdomengineers.wordpress.com/2008/05/03/blood-moon-eclipses-video-interviews/" target="_blank">Blood Moon videos</a>).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">If you have any other input in this topic here, please feel free to post a response at the end of this blog post.</span></p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p><em><span style="color: #ff0000;">Now back to Erik&#8217;s points!</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong> </strong></span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 114 – Representing 2014 (Jewish Year 5774) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 4 Year</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">We will now be entering the last half of the final week of Daniel.  This is otherwise known as the Great Tribulation.  This Psalm proclaims that the land of Israel is God’s dominion, and that the earth will tremble at the presence of the Lord. </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">1</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">2</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Judah became God&#8217;s sanctuary, Israel his dominion. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">And, verse 7 “Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,”. </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Could this equate to the 7th Trumpet of Revelation 11:15-19 when the Kingdom is Proclaimed? Pay particular attention to verse 18: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&#8220;The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, <strong>And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that you should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,</strong> And those who fear Your name, small and great,<strong> <span style="color: #ff0000;">And should destroy those who destroy the earth</span></strong>.&#8221;</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This would appear to now start the </span><a title="War of Gog and Magog" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/2007/10/the-war-of-gog-and-magog-understanding-ezekiel-38-39/" target="_blank">War of Gog/Magog</a><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> of Ezk 38-39!<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 115 – Representing 2015 (Jewish Year 5775)– Daniel’s Final Week T = 5 Year</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This Psalm speaks to the glory of the Lord, and the Lord remembering the house of Israel and Aaron.  Look especially at verse 12 </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“The Lord remembers us and will bless us: He will bless the house of Israel, he will bless the house of Aaron”. </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Do you think this remembrance will be important to the nation of Israel one year into the Great Tribulation?  But this Psalm also exhorts Israel and the house of Aaron to trust in the Lord, their “help and shield”, as noted in verses 9 and 10. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">This Psalm in verses 4 – 8 also speaks of the futility of human idols, made of silver and gold, and by the hands of men.  Israel’s God, the God who is in heaven, by contrast, “does whatever pleases him”, as noted in verse 3.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I like in particular how verse 18 would line up with truth&#8230; being that now Israel&#8217;s spiritual eyes are finally opened after the &#8220;Abomination of Desolation&#8221;, they will <strong>&#8220;Bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.&#8221;</strong> This is totally amazing isn&#8217;t it?<br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 116 – Representing 2016 (Jewish Year 5776) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 6 Year</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Approximately six years will now be completed of Daniel’s final week.  The earth will be weary, and those left will be drastically reduced in number.  Those who have come to faith during this period, both in Israel and in the gentile lands, will also have faced severe persecution. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Zachariah speaks how 2/3 of the nation of Israel will be cut off during this time.  Revelation speaks of those loosing their lives on behalf of the Lamb as being “countless” (reference Revelation Chapter 7).  This is mentioned for in Psalm 116 is one of the most somber and sweet verses in scripture.  Look at verse 15: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The Antichrist will be in full rage against God’s people at this time, and especially towards the nation of Israel.  It is likely most will have fled to the wilderness by now.  Look at verse 3: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“The cords of death entangled me, the anguish of the grave came upon me; I was overcome by trouble and sorrow.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">But in the midst of all this, Psalm 116 speaks of how the Lord still watches over those who call upon him, and how the Lord protects the simple-hearted and gives rest to those who are dismayed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 117 – Representing 2017 (Jewish Year 5777) – Daniel’s Final Week T = 7 Year</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Well, this is it.  <strong>This represents the year of the Return of the King.</strong> What would you write for such a climactic ending to the prior 6 days, the prior 6,000 years, of man’s day upon the earth?  <strong>This is the sunset of man’s day, and the dawn of the Lord’s day – the dawn of the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ!  Praise God Almighty!</strong> What, I ask, might you write?  Well, the Lord has already written it in Psalm 117.  It is the shortest Psalm in the book, the shortest book in the Bible, made up of only two verses. </span></p>
<h5 style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Psalm 117</span></em></h5>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">1</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Praise the LORD, all you nations; extol him, all you peoples. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">2</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> For great is his love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">The “Praise the Lord” at the end of the Psalm, in Hebrew, is actually Hallelu Yah, from where we get Hallelujah!  I say again, what might one write in regards to the Return of the King?  What might those alive on earth say, at the Return of the King, after having gone through a literal hell on earth?  I can think of no words more simple and profound than those recorded in Psalm 117. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Hallelujah!</span></span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 118 – Representing 2018 (Jewish Year 5778) – Millennial Reign Year 1</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Now, if you just lived through the prior seven years, what might you write?  Psalm 118 is so profound, you really must read it in this context to understand what is being written.  Every verse speaks specifically about the trials faced the believers, and especially Israel, during the previous seven years and how the Lord delivered them!  Here are the first seven verses, just to whet your appetite: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">1</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">2</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Let Israel say: &#8220;His love endures forever.&#8221; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">3</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Let the house of Aaron say: &#8220;His love endures forever.&#8221; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">4</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> Let those who fear the LORD say: &#8220;His love endures forever.&#8221; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">5</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">6</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">7</span></sup><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Need more???  How about verse 10? </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“All the nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I cut them off.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">How about verse 18? </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“The Lord has chastened me severely, but he has not given me over to death.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Or verse 21? </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“I will give thanks, for you answered me; you have become my salvation.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Or, verse 22 and 23: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Do you think that verse was fulfilled during the age of grace?  Oh, look at the glorious ways of our Lord!  The STONE the builders rejected has now become the capstone!  Jesus Christ the Lord is now reigning!  Hallelujah!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Or, verse 24:  <strong>“This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”</strong> Where does it end???  The day (1,000 years) of the Lord is now at hand!  This is the beginning of the Lord’s day!  Again, <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!</span></strong> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Brother and sister in Christ, read Psalm 118 with the view that this is the first year of the Millennium, the first year after Israel has been rescued from the flood of the Tribulation.  Read it and be blessed.  Hallelujah!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><em><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Psalm 119 – Representing 2019 (Jewish Year 5779) – Millennial Reign Year 2</strong> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">And now, the last of the Psalms that we will look at – Psalm 119.  We all know what Psalm 119 stand for – it is the love Psalm for the word, the word and law of the Lord.  Look how verse 1 starts: </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">“Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the Lord.” </span></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">National Israel, now saved, will be living in full view of the Lord upon the earth.  The church will be seated with the Lord in the heavenly places.  Israel will now finally have their heart of flesh.  No longer will their heart be one of stone, in fulfillment of Ezekiel’s prophecy.  Israel will now be able to complete her mission, what she was always created to do. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Israel (as did Shem) has always had a “God” in her tent, going way back to the days of Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Reference Genesis 9:42-27).  It has been God’s plan that Israel take her spiritual knowledge of the Lord and minister to the world, that the whole world may be full of God’s glory.  This will now happen.  But first, National Israel is schooled upon the Law of the Lord, where it is now written upon their hearts – hearts of flesh.  Praise God!  <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Hallelujah</span></strong><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> <strong>Conclusions</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">First off, this has been written briefly, and it is already over seven pages on the MS Word document that is being typed.  Cross references to other scriptures are certainly there for others to pursue.  It was the intent to write this and share in as quick and concise of a manner possible. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Secondly, apologies are made to anyone who may have already published this information.  I am not aware of anyone who has tied Psalms 110 – 119 specifically to the years 2010 &#8211; 2019, but I have not done extensive searches to verify this.  If this is you, please feel blessed that the Holy Spirit is confirming your earlier work.  If this is new, may you put these ideas to the test of God’s Word.  Please note that these thoughts have come about, as noted in the beginning, mainly from the works of Daniel Matson and those who have published works on the Prophecy of the Psalms, namely J.R. Church and Pastor FM Riley.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">And lastly, <strong>if the Psalms are indeed prophetic in the sense of a year for a Psalm, then we truly may be at the beginning of both a most wondrous time, yet also a most difficult time.</strong> You will note that no predictions of when the rapture would take place are presented in this brief study.  However, this writer believes the Scriptures are very clear that the church will not be on earth when </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Thank you for your passion behind the words in this letter. I&#8217;m sure that many people will be blessed by it. Keep on digging, searching, and sharing brother Erik&#8230; Good Job!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>A Little History</strong> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I became aware of Daniel Matson’s work in mid 2005, and the prophecy in the Psalms concepts somewhere around that same time. As we shall see, Psalm 110, (113), 117, 118, and 119 are particularly intriguing, and initially gave me pause as they were read with the time frame of 2010 – 2017 in mind. However, Psalms 111 through 116 did not appear to fit the description of what would be happening in the world during the time of the Tribulation and Great Tribulation. These ideas were placed on the back burner, and eventually forgotten. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In his 15-Apr-09 Five Doves posting &#8211; <em>Pentecost Revisited</em> &#8211; Pastor FM Riley noted how Psalm 109 seemed to indicate the unveiling of the “opposing one” (Anti-Christ, Man of Sin). With his thoughts on my mind, Psalm 109 through Psalm 119 were re-read again with the view of 2010 (Jewish Year 5770) – 2017 (Jewish Year 5777) in mind. It was during these subsequent readings that a new insight was noted which suddenly seemed to make everything fall perfectly into place. This study aims to convey these observations for further scrutiny.</span></p>

<p>Johan got the idea to build the ark after having a dream about the Netherlands being flooded.  He plans to set sail in September and travel to other parts of the country and eventually to major cities in Belgium and Germany.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Introduction to Pentecost&#8230; a Prophetic Picture of the Rapture<br />
</strong></p>
<p>A year ago I wrote a Bible study entitled <em>“So Simple!” </em>In that study I emphasized how the Lord had shown me that only two of the Jewish Holy Days given to Israel in <strong><em>Leviticus 23 </em></strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">typify</span> </em>the resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers. Those two Jewish Holy Days are <strong><em>“firstfruits” </em></strong>and Pentecost.  Proof of this truth is easily available to any reader willing to deal honestly with the Scriptures.</p>
<p>It was only on <strong><em>“firstfruits” </em></strong>that a <strong><em>“sheaf” </em></strong>[<a title="Omer" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/omer?method=22" target="_blank"><em>omer</em></a>] of barley was lifted up and <strong><em>“waved” </em></strong>before the Lord, which subsequent history proved was <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">a type</span> </em>of the resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ and the <strong><em>“firstfruit” </em></strong>saints [<em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2023:9-14;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Leviticus 23:9-14</a>; <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2027:52-53;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Matthew 27:52-53</a>; <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%2015:20-23;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">1 Corinthians 15:20-23</a></em>].</p>
<p>The <span style="text-decoration: underline;">only</span> other Jewish Holy Day where a <strong><em>“wave offering” </em></strong>was <strong><em>“waved before the Lord” </em></strong>was on <a title="Pentecost" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/shavuot" target="_blank">Pentecost</a>.  The instructions given for the observance of this Jewish Holy Day are found in <strong><em>Leviticus 23:15-21:</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">15</sup> ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">16</sup> Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the LORD. <sup class="versenum">17</sup> You shall bring from your dwellings two wave <em>loaves</em> of two-tenths <em>of an ephah.</em> They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. <em>They are</em> the firstfruits to the LORD.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">18</sup> And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be <em>as</em> a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to the LORD. <sup class="versenum">19</sup> Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a peace offering.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">20</sup> The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits <em>as</em> a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. <sup class="versenum">21</sup> And you shall proclaim on the same day <em>that</em> it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work <em>on it. It shall be</em> a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.</p></blockquote>
<p>In this study I want to “revisit” the Scriptures dealing with the observance of Pentecost. I invite our readers to join us and see what the Lord has yet to reveal to us in His wonderful inspired Word.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Last Year versus This Year </strong></p>
<p>I have already stated a number of times to my readers that when the Lord revealed to me last year, shortly before Pentecost, that only the two Jewish Holy Days mentioned above have anything to do with the <span style="color: #ff0000;">resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers</span>, I immediately went to my calendar to see what “date” Pentecost would fall on last year. That was my own sad mistake for the Lord <span style="text-decoration: underline;">did not</span> give me a “date” last year, and I have freely admitted that and have apologized for picking a “date” off my calendar several times. What the Lord graciously showed me last year is exactly what I have set before my readers, and am repeating again in this study; <strong><em>“firstfruits” </em></strong>and Pentecost.</p>
<p>Yes, I do understand why the Lord did not come last Spring on either of the two Jewish Holy Days.  After Pentecost had passed last Spring, I went to the Lord in earnest prayer asking for more GRACE and insight into His Word. <img class="size-full wp-image-443 alignright" style="margin: 0pt;" title="Ruth" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/ruth.gif" alt="Ruth" />I was impressed to go over all of my studies and notes. In restudying the <strong><em>Book of Ruth</em></strong>, I noticed one little statement which I had previously read but which had not registered on my feeble brain the first time I read it. That one little statement made it very clear to me that the Lord was not coming last year.</p>
<p>I also restudied <strong><em>Psalm 108 </em></strong>which correlates with 2008. Verse <strong><em>6 </em></strong>of that <strong><em>Psalm </em></strong>very clearly speaks of the rapture of God’s people. It is clear enough in the English translation, but it is even more clear when studied in the Hebrew text.</p>
<p>As I restudied it again, this time I noticed that the rapture of God’s people in that Scripture is clearly set forth in <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">the future tense</span></em>. That made me realize again that the rapture would not take place in 2008 as I had hoped, and as so many of God’s people were also hoping.</p>
<p>I have written these two paragraphs of explanation, not only for my readers, but also for my critics. Folks, I am not and have never claimed to be “infallible.” I am just another child of God and servant of the Lord who seriously studies the Word seeking to learn the truth. Until my critics can find “infallibility” in themselves, then I would suggest that they quit demanding it of others. <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%202:1;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Romans 2:1</a></em><strong><em> </em></strong>is still in the Bible! But so is <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Titus%202:11-15;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Titus 2:11-15</a></em><strong><em>, </em></strong>and I am going to keep right on searching the Scriptures and “watching” for my Lord without apology to anyone. Clear enough?</p>
<p>But now we living today are well into a new year<strong>. </strong>The Jewish Holy Day of <strong><em>“firstfruits,” </em></strong>which was this past Sunday, has now come and gone. It is now obvious that the Lord did not come on <strong><em>“firstfruits” </em></strong>this year. Therefore, if the resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers is going to occur this year on or in connection with one of these two Jewish Holy Days, then I have to believe that it will be “Pentecost.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Significance of 2009</strong></p>
<p>If our readers will carefully study <strong><em>Psalm 109, </em></strong>which correlates with 2009, it is obvious that the entire <strong><em>Psalm</em></strong> is speaking about the arrival of the Antichrist on the world scene, and his dealings with Israel and with the Lord. This is highly significant of the very year in which we are living, for many of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">God’s people</span> [<span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>true obedient/repentant believers</em></span>] are convinced that the Antichrist is now on the world scene.   According to <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%202:3;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank"><em>2 Thessalonians 2:3</em></a><strong><em> </em></strong>he was predicted to be <strong><em>“revealed” </em></strong>[<em>2:3</em>] <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before</span> <strong><em>“the day of Christ” </em></strong>[<em>2:2</em>], and many of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">God’s people</span> today are convinced that he has been.</p>
<p>I want to emphasize to our readers that there is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">no contradiction</span> between <strong><em>2:3 </em></strong>and <strong><em>2:8. </em></strong>The Antichrist is first revealed to God’s people, who have been given spiritual discernment [<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%202:12-16;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank"><em>1 Corinthians 2:12-16</em></a>], <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before</span> the Tribulation begins.  He is then revealed to the whole world <span style="text-decoration: underline;">during</span> the Tribulation after the “Restrainer” has been <strong><em>“taken out of the way,”</em></strong> <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%202:6-8;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">2 Thessalonians 2:6-8</a></em><strong><em>. </em></strong>This isn’t hard to understand if more of God’s people would get serious about studying the Scriptures.</p>
<p>I don’t think any serious Bible believer would deny that the <strong><em>“signs”</em></strong> that are predicted to accompany the coming of the Antichrist [<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%202:9-12;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank"><em>2 Thessalonians 2:9-12</em></a>] are all about us today, just as are the <strong><em>“signs” </em></strong>that the Lord told His people to be “watching” for.  I believe we are on very safe ground in believing that our Lord is coming to resurrect and rapture His people to glory <span style="text-decoration: underline;">this year</span>, and it certainly could occur on or near Pentecost.</p>
<p><strong>The Fulfillment of Pentecost…Shavuot??</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-442 alignleft" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Shavuot" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/shavuot-article.jpg?w=210" alt="Shavuot" width="227" height="324" />I <span style="text-decoration: underline;">do not believe</span> that the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">coming down</span> of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost as recorded in <strong><em>Acts 2 </em></strong>was the complete and total fulfillment of Pentecost.  The <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">types</span></em> set forth in the<em> </em>Law given to Israel in <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2023:15-21;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Leviticus 23:15-21</a></em><strong><em> </em></strong>about Pentecost <span style="text-decoration: underline;">were not</span> fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost in <strong><em>Acts 2. </em></strong>It is now obvious to every true Bible believer [<em>or should be</em>] that the <strong><em>“wave offering”</em></strong><em> </em>on the day of <strong><em>“firstfruits” </em></strong>clearly <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">typified</span></em> the<em> </em>resurrection of Christ and the saints which came out of their graves after His resurrection.</p>
<p>So then why was there no resurrection on the Day of Pentecost in <strong><em>Acts 2? </em></strong>It appears to me that since the <strong><em>“wave offering” </em></strong>on <strong><em>“firstfruits” </em></strong>portrayed a resurrection, then the <strong><em>“wave loaves” </em></strong>on Pentecost ought to also portray a resurrection. This is just being consistent in our understanding of the Scriptures.   But no resurrection took place on Pentecost in <strong><em>Acts 2. </em></strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Has Pentecost then been completely fulfilled? I personally think not!</span></p>
<p>It is an undeniable truth that even all the events predicted by Peter in <strong><em>Acts 2, </em></strong>as he <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">transliterated</span></em> from Joel’s prophecy, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">were not</span> fulfilled at that time.  Some of those predicted events <span style="text-decoration: underline;">have not</span> been fulfilled to this very day. I am primarily referring to <strong><em>Acts 2:19-20.</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">19</sup> <em>I will show wonders in heaven above </em><em>And signs in the earth beneath: </em><em>Blood and fire and vapor of smoke.</em></p>
<p><sup class="versenum">20</sup> <em>The sun shall be turned into darkness, </em><em>And the moon into blood, </em><em>Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong>However, in observing the world situation today and studying the prophecies of the end-time, I also think it is highly possible that these predicted events could take place <span style="text-decoration: underline;">in the next 46 days (May 30-Jun 7)</span>.  If they do, no <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">true believer</span></em> will any longer have any doubts about where we stand in God’s great Plan of the Ages.  May God have mercy on His people!</p>
<p><strong>The Wave Loaves</strong></p>
<p>Folks, the two <strong><em>“wave loaves” </em></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">lifted up</span> on Pentecost and <strong><em>“waved before the Lord” </em></strong>clearly appear to be <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">a type</span></em> of the completed resurrection harvest of New Testament believers. <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-446" title="Messiah First Fruits" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/messiah_firstfruits.jpg" alt="Messiah First Fruits" />The grain had been gathered, ground in the mills into fine flour, prepared with <strong><em>“leaven,” </em></strong>then baked in the ovens into <strong><em>“loaves.” </em></strong>Two of these <strong><em>“loaves” </em></strong>were then brought to the priest to be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lifted up</span> and <strong><em>“waved before the Lord.” </em></strong>What a vivid portrayal of the resurrection of New Testament believers! Glory!</p>
<p>Barley is the first ripe grain in Israel in the Spring of the year. As such it is a perfect <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">type</span></em> of the Lord’s Gentile bride and people, who according to the prophetic Scriptures will be resurrected and raptured to glory <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before</span> the Tribulation, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">before</span> the nation and people of Israel are resurrected. The Lord Himself clearly stated that the grain which represents Israel <span style="text-decoration: underline;">is not</span> barley, but rather is <strong><em>“wheat,” </em></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em>The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares<br />
</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Matthew 13:24-30: </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong><sup class="versenum">24</sup> Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; <sup class="versenum">25</sup> but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">26</sup> But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared. <sup class="versenum">27</sup> So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">28</sup> He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ <sup class="versenum">29</sup> But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">30</sup> Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”</p></blockquote>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong>The Parable of the Tares Explained</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong><em>Matthew 13:36-43: </em></strong></p>
<p><sup class="versenum">36</sup> Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”  <sup class="versenum">37</sup> He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">38</sup> The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked <em>one.</em> <sup class="versenum">39</sup> The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are the angels.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">40</sup> Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. <sup class="versenum">41</sup> The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">42</sup> and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. <sup class="versenum">43</sup> Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!</p></blockquote>
<p>Just as the barley was cut down in the fields and ground in the mills into <strong><em>“fine flour,” </em></strong>even so New Testament believers throughout this dispensation have been cut down and ground in the mills of persecution and suffering at the hands of the wicked of this world.  Many of God’s people today are so Biblically illiterate that they still do not realize that the day each of us chose to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior, we also were choosing to become <strong><em>“a partaker of His sufferings.” </em></strong></p>

<blockquote>
<h5>Suffering for God’s Glory</h5>
<p><sup class="versenum">12</sup> Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; <sup class="versenum">13</sup> but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. <sup class="versenum">14</sup> <span style="color: #ff0000;">If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed <em>are you,</em></span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you</span>.<sup> </sup> On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.</p></blockquote>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><strong><em> </em></strong>&#8230;And many other similar Scriptures<strong><em>. </em></strong></p>
<p>Folks, the entire history of the Lord’s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">true church</span> has been written in the blood of those of our Christian forefathers who suffered and bled and died to give us living today the gospel of <strong><em>“salvation in Christ.” </em></strong>Glory! Glory to God!  Thanks be unto God for His marvelous GRACE!</p>
<p>It is also true that just as the <strong><em>“fine flour” </em></strong>was mixed with <strong><em>“leaven,”</em></strong> even so God’s people [<span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>true obedient/repentant believers</em></span>] <em>(added by Randall&#8230; NOT back sliding believers who intentionally sin without repentance)</em> today still have a “sin nature” to contend with in these bodies of <strong><em>“sin and death” </em></strong>in which we presently reside.     Read <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%207:14-25;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Romans 7:14-25</a></em><strong><em> </em></strong>and take it to heart.</p>
<p>But just as the fire in those Jewish ovens baked the <strong><em>“leaven” </em></strong>out of those loaves, even so “the fire” of God’s Holy Spirit bakes <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the sin</span> out of the lives of <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">true obedient/repentant believers</span></em></span> who will submit themselves to His will and leadership.  Glory! Glory to God!  Hallelujah!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Read <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014:16-17;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">John 14:16-17</a>,  <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:12-14;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">16:12-14</a>,  <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Corinthians%201:21-22;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">2 Corinthians 1:21-22</a>,  <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%201:12-14;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Ephesians 1:12-14</a>, <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%204:30;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">4:30</a>, </em>and <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians%205:24-25;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Galatians 5:24-25</a>. </em></p>
<p>Through this process we who are <span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">true obedient/repentant believers</span></em></span> then become <strong><em>“a new lump,” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8: </em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">6</sup> Your glorying <em>is</em> not good. Do you not know that a little leaven (sin) leavens the whole lump?  <sup class="versenum">7</sup> Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.<sup> </sup> <sup class="versenum">8</sup> Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened <em>bread</em> of sincerity and truth.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em> </em></strong>Glory to God!</p>
<p><strong>The “Lifting up” of the Loaves </strong></p>
<p>It ought to be obvious to any reader that there came a time in Israel when the harvest was completed, the grain had been ground into fine flour, baked into loaves, removed from the oven and was then <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lifted up</span> by the priest and <strong><em>“waved before the Lord,” </em></strong>a vivid <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">type</span> </em>of the resurrection and rapture <strong><em>“harvest” </em></strong>of New Testament believers<strong><em>. </em></strong></p>
<p>Even so, there is fast approaching a time when <strong><em>“the fullness of the Gentiles” </em></strong>[<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2011:25;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank"><em>Romans 11:25</em></a>] will be complete. This is a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">spiritual term</span> which refers to the total number of Gentiles whom the Lord <span style="text-decoration: underline;">foreknew</span> will be saved during this present dispensation. When that last precious soul is saved, the resurrection and rapture <strong><em>“harvest” </em></strong>of the believing Gentiles will immediately occur, <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark%204:26-29;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Mark 4:26-29</a>.</em></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-423" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0pt;" title="Jesus Looking Up" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/jesusflashing.jpg" alt="jesusflashing" />It is now so close <span style="text-decoration: underline;">that it could occur within days</span>.  Since the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lifting up</span> of the loaves are a definite <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">type</span></em> of the resurrection and rapture of New Testament believers, and since the loaves were to be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lifted up</span> and <strong><em>“waved before the Lord” </em></strong>on Pentecost, I highly suspect that the last precious soul to be included in <strong><em>“the fullness of the Gentiles”</em></strong> will be saved <span style="text-decoration: underline;">on or before Pentecost</span>. However, since the Lord is as precise as He is shown to be throughout the Scriptures [<em>as He was at “firstfruits”</em>], the resurrection and rapture of <strong><em>“the dead in Christ” </em></strong>and <strong><em>“the living in Christ” </em></strong>[<em>the two loaves</em>] will very likely occur on Pentecost at the precise time appointed by Almighty God in <em><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus%2023:15-21;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Leviticus 23:15-21</a>.</em><strong><em> </em></strong>Glory to God!</p>
<p>I might add that just as <strong><em>“the priest” </em></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">lifted up</span> the loaves and waved them <strong><em>“before the Lord,” </em></strong>even so it will be the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, our great <strong><em>“High Priest,” </em></strong>who will <span style="text-decoration: underline;">lift up</span> His people from out of the graves and off the face of this earth, and take them “home” to glory, <strong><em>1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. </em></strong>Hallelujah! Glory to God!</p>
<blockquote>
<h5>The Comfort of Christ’s Coming</h5>
<p><sup class="versenum">13</sup> But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. <sup class="versenum">14</sup> For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.</p>
<p><sup class="versenum">15</sup> For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive <em>and</em> remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><sup class="versenum">16</sup> For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><sup class="versenum">17</sup> Then we who are alive <em>and</em> remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. <span style="color: #000000;"><sup class="versenum">18</sup></span></span> Therefore comfort one another with these words.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Coincidences…?? </strong></p>
<p>In view of what I have set forth in this study, is it then just “coincidence” that in <strong><em>John 4 </em></strong>the Lord met the Gentile woman at Jacob’s well precisely on Pentecost?  Since Pentecost is not mentioned in that chapter, how do we know it was Pentecost? We know this to be so because in “a year of perfect order” it is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">exactly</span> <strong><em>“four months” </em></strong>from Pentecost to Rosh HaShanah. Now look at the statement of the Lord Jesus in <strong><em>John 4:35: </em></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><sup class="versenum">35</sup> Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and <em>then</em> comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, <strong>lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!</strong></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em> </em>Did I mention that 2009 is “a year of perfect order”?</strong></p>
<p>For those of our readers who are not familiar with this term, “year of perfect order,” it means that every day on the Jewish calendar in a given year falls on exactly <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the same day</span> that it fell on during the personal ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.  It is then more than “coincidence” that it is <span style="text-decoration: underline;">exactly four months to the day</span> from Pentecost to Rosh Hashanah this year. Count the days for yourself, and as the Lord said, <strong><em>“be not faithless, but believing,” John 20:27. </em></strong></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-444" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Jacobs-Well-of-Living-Water" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/jacobs-well-of-living-water.jpg?w=300" alt="Jacobs-Well-of-Living-Water" width="334" height="270" />Keep in mind that the Lord met the Gentile woman <span style="text-decoration: underline;">at Jacob’s well</span>. Was this also a “coincidence”? She was drawing water out of that well, even as we Gentile believers today still draw <strong><em>“living water” </em></strong>from the inspired Scriptures handed down to us from God through the Jewish people. Praise the Lord! But both the meeting place and the date they met seem significant.  <span style="color: #ff0000;">Is it possible that the Lord’s meeting with the Gentile woman <span style="text-decoration: underline;">on Pentecost at Jacob’s well</span> <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">typifies</span></em> the transition of the “gospel” from the Gentile “church” back into the hands of the Jewish people during the coming Tribulation period?</span> Is that possible? <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I don’t know</span>! I’m just studying the Scriptures and seeking to learn, like other <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">true believers</span> </em>should also be doing.</p>
<p>I am also well aware that the Jewish Rabbis today expect the resurrection to take place at Rosh HaShanah. In fact, they insist that it cannot happen at any other time based on the traditional teaching that has been passed down to them by their Jewish sages. But the Lord Himself said in <strong><em>John 4:35-36 </em></strong>that the <strong><em>“harvest” </em></strong>was taking place <span style="text-decoration: underline;">right then</span>. On Pentecost! Now who are we to believe? The Lord Himself? …..or, the Jewish Rabbis? I made my choice many years ago. I will take the Word of the Lord over that of any man.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion </strong></p>
<p>I could continue this study by setting forth a number of Scriptural reasons why this year, more than any previous year, appears to be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the year</span> the Lord is coming to resurrect and rapture His New Testament believers to glory. But it is in particular the Day of Pentecost that the Lord laid on my heart for this study, and I have now set it again before our readers for your consideration. So here is where I will bring this study to a conclusion. I urge every reader to study these things for yourself, pray about them, and draw your own conclusions.</p>
<p>May the Lord use this study to encourage the hearts of minds of His people [<span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>true obedient/repentant believers</em></span>], and to impress upon those still lost in sin the shortness of time and their own personal need to seek the Lord as their Savior NOW.</p>
<p>If I can help any reader to find salvation in Christ, or any reader who is beset with doubts about their salvation to find assurance in the Lord, please feel free to contact me.  I will count it a joy and a blessing to render spiritual help to anyone who will grant me that blessing. I want to meet every reader in glory. Please don’t disappoint me!</p>

<p>Thank You F.M. Riley for this wonderful insight in this possible connection between Pentecost and the Escape&#8230; I&#8217;ve believed for about a year and a half now that Pentecost would be the First Fruits (Barley) harvest; Mid-Trib (no idea of the timing) would be the Main (Wheat) Harvest or Jewish Resurrection; and Armageddon would be the (Grape) Four Corners Harvest!</p>
<p>See my next post entitled: The Future: Palsms 109-119.  This is truly a fascinating study in which we all have been deceived from the main stream pulpits!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Look at the world around you. See how they live in dread today. Think about what's happening today, all the world is dealing with is a global pandemic, that's it, just a pandemic, and people are losing their minds. When I say "just a global pandemic" I need to put that in perspective for you...think in terms of the tribulation....

People are living in fear and dread today without the Anti-Christ marauding around, without famine at their doorstep (yet), without being attacked by the beasts of the field, without the trumpet judgments or vial judgments, without demonic beings walking side by side with men (i.e., Nephilim), none of that...yet, and people are shivering. Why?]]></description>

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Isaiah 8:12-14</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"> For the LORD spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that <strong>I should not walk in the way of this people</strong>, saying, Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; <strong>neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid.

</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Look at the world around you. See how they live in dread today. Think about what&#8217;s happening today, all the world is dealing with is a global pandemic, that&#8217;s it, just a pandemic, and people are losing their minds. When I say &#8220;just a global pandemic&#8221; I need to put that in perspective for you&#8230;think in terms of the tribulation&#8230;.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">People are living in fear and dread today without the Anti-Christ marauding around, without famine at their doorstep (yet), without being attacked by the beasts of the field, without the trumpet judgments or vial judgments, without demonic beings walking side by side with men <em>(i.e., Nephilim)</em>, none of that&#8230;<strong>yet</strong>, and people are shivering. Why?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>I suppose today is as good a day as any other to begin separating those with real faith from those whose life calling has been &#8220;playing church.&#8221;</strong> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&#8220;Going to church&#8221; is never asked for or desired anywhere in the bible. <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Being the church is mandatory.</strong></span> You cannot fake real faith, its either there or its not. In the face of potential death, it gets really real.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Understand that not a hair of your head can be touched by this man-made angel of death virus, without our God&#8217;s permission. Our God is a respecter of faithful people. He stood in awe of the centurion&#8217;s faith. The Lord has been on this topic of faith and belief now for weeks (with me) and I can clearly see why now. If we do not stand in our faith, we will not stand at all. The time for people to build their faith for the coming storms is not when they hit, its before they hit.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Will men wait until they are shivering while sweating on their beds eaten up with this pig flu before they go to their knees and seek the face of God? Many won&#8217;t even seek him then.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-387" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Noah's Ark" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/noahsark.jpg?w=300" alt="Noah's Ark" />Today is a pre-flood, pre-brimstone day. Today is a day when the mercy and grace of our Lord are still extended to men. <strong>Today is a day to return to the fundamentals of the faith.</strong> Your hired hand spiritual servants (clergy) will not have the faith to save you, you must have the faith to save you. Faith is the currency of our Kingdom, a Kingdom not of this world.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Six days from today marks the anniversary of Noah entering the ark; 16 days from today is Ascension Day, and 26 days from today is <a title="Pentecost" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecost" target="_blank">Pentecost</a>. People who tell you that Jesus can&#8217;t do this, and Jesus can&#8217;t do that because XYZ hasn’t happened yet, are in for a big surprise. <strong>The Son of God is not bound by their interpretations of what He can or cannot do, and when He can do what He has planned.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Over and over again in the bible we see this idea that Jesus is coming at a time when men will not expect it. <span style="color: #ff0000;">He says He is coming like a thief!</span> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Now <span style="text-decoration: underline;">watch</span> this very carefully, what Jesus says here and when He says it. Rev 3:3 is just before Rev 4:1 where we see what? A door opens in heaven. What does He say in Rev 3:3:</span></p>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Rev 3:3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and <span style="color: #ff0000;">hold fast, and repent.</span> <strong>If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief,</strong> <strong>and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. </strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Pay attention, <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">VERY CAREFULLY</span></strong>, to what He said there.  This is straightforward language, He says if you will not watch, He will come on you like a thief and you won&#8217;t know the hour He comes upon us. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">It has become very popular today for men <strong>NOT TO WATCH</strong> for the coming of the Lord <strong>TODAY</strong>.  Who are these people who refuse to watch, who do not believe Jesus will show up today, tomorrow, or even next year for that matter?  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pre-wrath, Post-trib teachers come immediately to mind.</span> <em>(Added by Randall&#8230; i.e., David MacPhearson, Stan Johnson, Robert VanKampen, Irvin Baxter; And especially those who are of the Preterist Eschatology viewpoint such as: Hank Hanegraaff (the Bible Answer Man) and R.C. Sproul.)</em><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Lovers of money like <a title="Tim Mchyde - Escape All These Things" href="http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/" target="_blank">Tim Mchyde</a> who for all we know isn&#8217;t even a believer, men like that assure you that Jesus cannot come back today because of reasons A,B,C,D,E,F,G&#8230;. Won&#8217;t they be surprised on the day Jesus does come back and they are not watching while they peddle their merchandise on other men teaching them not to watch today either. What will happen to such men? I don&#8217;t even want to guess.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">We specifically are warned to be watching&#8230;for what? For our Lord&#8217;s return. Those found doing what they are told to do will be rewarded, those who preach and teach disobedience to this specific command to be watching TODAY for the Lord&#8217;s return&#8230;well, I would not want to be them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">As we press deeper into the month of May, I would advise you to be watching and ready like the wise virgins of <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matt%2025:1-13;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Matt 25</a>. I would advise you to <span style="color: #ff0000;">&#8220;pray that you may be counted worthy to escape all that’s about to happen and stand before the Son of man&#8221;</span>. Why would I advise such things? <strong>Because they are clearly stated in the word of God, and the twisting of men goes straight to the trash bin.</strong></span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Mark 13:35</strong>&#8230; <strong>Watch therefore: for ye know not when the lord of the house cometh</strong>, whetherat even, or at midnight, or at cockcrowing, or in the morning</span></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Matthew 24:42</strong>&#8230; <strong>Watch therefore</strong>: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Luke 21:36</strong>&#8230; <strong>Watch therefore</strong>, praying at every season, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things which are about to come to pass, and to stand before the</span></p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><strong>1 Peter 4:7</strong>&#8230; But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and <strong>watch unto prayer</strong>.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Now, look at each and every place our Lord tells us to watch and you tell me, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>do you see any time qualifiers mentioned ANYWHERE?</strong></span> A time qualifier would be somewhere He tells us &#8220;watch when you see this happen&#8221; or after this happens, then watch, or at the mid-point of the trib, then watch, or after the trib is over, then watch&#8230;<strong>No</strong>, it just says WATCH which means what? <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Do it NOW!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">A man who puts off the commands of the Lord because he thinks he has outsmarted the word of God is a fool. I am amazed at how many have fallen for the satanic doctrines of this day which tell you&#8230; </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">&#8220;don&#8217;t bother doing what the word of God tells you to, put it off for later&#8230;&#8221;</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><a title="Day of Escape - Rapture" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/rapture/" target="_blank">The day of the escape</a> will come upon many people like a thief. Why? The cares of this life have overwhelmed them, or they refuse to watch.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Luke 21:34-36: And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and <strong>cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares</strong>. For <span style="color: #ff0000;">as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth</span>. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">What&#8217;s the downside of watching today and every day after today? <span style="text-decoration: underline;">None</span>. How can you be caught &#8220;not watching&#8221; if you are watching every day? You can&#8217;t. <strong>So you tell me where wisdom is, watching every day, or watching sometime later for our Lord&#8217;s return?</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-399" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Swine Flu" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/swineflu_20090427062919998_320_240.jpg?w=300" alt="Swine Flu" />I was not planning on writing about this today, but perhaps the Spirit planned on me writing this today. The point of everything written today is, this flu thing, and later many issues will cause people to become anxious with the issues of life here, and they will not be watching. We know because we have been warned thousands of years in advance that those who are found watching and worthy when He returns will be able to escape all.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Read <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2021:1-35;&amp;version=50;" target="_blank">Luke 21:1-35</a> to find out what the &#8220;all&#8221; is we are promised to escape. <strong>We are to comfort and encourage each other with the promise of the rapture and the escape.</strong> The only comfort and encouragement the pre-wrath and post-trib teachers give you is you have a 90% chance of dying a horrible death in the tribulation. Even if there was no escape from all, it wouldn’t matter one iota to us who live for Christ, watching for his return day in and day out. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">We live by faith, every day</span>. We obey his word, we are watching. <span style="color: #ff0000;">If a person tries to convince you that for some reason you don&#8217;t need to watch today, consider closing your eyes and ears to them permanently.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">Believe that our Lord will do what He said He would do. You do NOT need to buy any mans book (especially if they charge you for it&#8230;) to figure out what the Creator has to say to you. Pray, believe, watch, and read the book God himself wrote to you and all men. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">In a time of universal deception, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.  grace and peace</span></p>

<h5><em>Psalm 32:7-11</em></h5>
<blockquote><p><span style="color:#ff0000;">You <em>are</em> my hiding place</span>; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance.  Selah I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse <em>or</em> like the mule, <em>Which</em> have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you. Many sorrows <em>shall be</em> to the wicked; But he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him.   Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous; And shout for joy, all <em>you</em> upright in heart!</p></blockquote>
<p>Interesting words used there &#8220;You are my hiding place&#8221;&#8230;.Our Lord is a very real refuge from the storm we see all around us. He shall preserve me from trouble, He shall compass me about with songs of deliverance. Who will deliver us, preserve us? <em>He will&#8230;..</em></p>
<h5><em>1 Peter 3:20</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>&#8230;who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine long-suffering waited in the days of Noah, while <em>the</em> ark was being prepared, in which <em><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">a few</span></strong></em>, that is, eight souls, <em><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">were saved</span></strong></em> through water.</p></blockquote>
<h5><em>Luke 17:26</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>And <em>as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man</em>:</p></blockquote>
<p>Noah had an ark, we have the Son of God. &#8220;in Christ&#8221; we are in the ark. The Lord promised us an escape from all that&#8217;s about to happen. As the storm clouds move over us we get closer to the time of Jacob&#8217;s trouble, more and more people will begin to wonder whether the Lord meant what he said when he declared:</p>
<h5><em>Luke 21:36</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy <strong><em>to escape</em></strong> all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Those who are counting on the escape face a growing barrage of ridicule from the atheist, the godless and outright hate from the pre-wrath, post-trib crowd.</strong> I liken all of these people to those who stood around while Noah was driving nails and cutting boards for the Ark.  They all stood around mocking and criticizing. Things won&#8217;t be so funny though on the day the ark rises up above the earth and some of us are nowhere to be found.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-328" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="nuclear_war_jesus_christian" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/nuclear_war_jesus_christian_clipart.jpg?w=300" alt="nuclear_war_jesus_christian" width="300" height="225" />Today I want to encourage you to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">walk in <em>uprightness </em>and </span><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">righteousness</span> </em>with the Lord so you are found <em><strong>worthy of the escape that&#8217;s coming</strong></em>. Satan and those who serve him go immediately after your faith by first creating doubt&#8230;.&#8221;did God really say&#8230;.?&#8221; Did God really say to pray for an escape from all that shall come to pass? Unless my eyes are deceiving me, YES He did tell us to pray for the escape.  Is that being &#8220;escapist&#8221;?  YEA, IT IS!</p>
<p>There seems to be many people these days who believe that they need to go through the tribulation for one reason or another&#8230;<em>maybe they do. </em><strong>We each need to be firmly convinced of what we believe because what we really believe will be tested.</strong></p>
<p>The Lord told me years ago &#8220;we can do this the easy way or the hard way&#8221; referring to some changes in thinking and behavior on my part. The easy way is for us to engage our mind, willpower, heart, and rear end to come into conformity with God&#8217;s will. The hard way is for the Lord to impose external pressure on you to get you to the same place. Same destination, two different ways of getting there.</p>
<p><strong>Today there are people (back slidden, born-again &#8220;Christians&#8221;) on the earth whose attention does not belong to the Lord..<em>yet</em>.</strong> There is a pressure cooker coming though, called the Tribulation, that will burn off the impurities with fire and bring them &#8220;in Christ.&#8221;  These are known as the Tribulation Saints.</p>
<p>For those living in today&#8217;s pre-tribulation world, who are &#8220;in Christ,&#8221; who have chosen the &#8220;easy way&#8221; of <span style="color:#ff0000;">willingly and obediently</span> following the Lord, its already mission accomplished <span style="text-decoration: underline;">if they </span><strong><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">continue</span> </em></strong>&#8220;in Christ&#8221; up to the point in time of the escape. What difference is there between those who have died &#8220;in Christ&#8221; up till now, and those of us living today &#8220;in Christ?&#8221; If those who died before us &#8220;in Christ&#8221; did not go through &#8220;the&#8221; tribulation, give me a good argument for why we should?  I&#8217;ve never heard one yet, and I&#8217;ve heard about everything out there.</p>
<p>The pre-tribulation &#8220;escape&#8221; will be a double edged sword. On one hand, it will devastate the apostate church. The day however many of us &#8220;escape&#8221; and they don&#8217;t what&#8217;s going to happen? What happens the day all the apostate preachers and teachers <em>are still here</em>, and we are not? <strong>There will be widespread defection and destruction of so called Christianity aided by the persecutions coming, aided by the great deception sent by the Lord himself to deceive those who refused to believe the truth.</strong></p>
<h5><em>2 Thes 2:9-12</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>The coming of the <em>lawless one</em> is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, <em>because they did not receive the love of the truth</em>, that they might be saved. And for this reason <strong>God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>As history has proven, then and now, only a few will be saved through it all. It&#8217;s always a <em><strong>remnant</strong></em>, its always a few that make it &#8220;in Christ&#8221; no matter how you want to look at it.</p>
<h5><em>Romans 9:27</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>Isaiah also cries out concerning Israel: <em>“ <strong>Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea</strong>, </em><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><em>The remnant will be saved.</em></span></strong></p></blockquote>
<h5><em>Romans 11:5</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>Even so then, <strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">at this present time</span></em></strong> there is <em><strong>a remnant</strong></em> chosen by the election of grace.</p></blockquote>
<p>I didn&#8217;t make this stuff up guys. Go to an online bible search engine and type in &#8220;remnant&#8221; but make sure you pack a lunch because you will see it over and over and over again.</p>
<p>What does that mean? Always a remnant? It means its always a <strong>FEW</strong> who &#8220;get it.&#8221;</p>
<h5><em>Matt 7:14</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and <strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">few there be that find it.</span></em></strong></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#000000;">&#8230;&#8230;that&#8217;s what it means. Writing these things to you is the core of what the Lord has given me to do in this life. Remind you of what&#8217;s already been written. <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>The wrong time to be reminded of these things is after the escape, or after you die,</strong></span> whichever comes first.</span></p>
<p>I know much of what is written here is not pleasant to read, but my task is to put it out there. If one soul is turned away from their sin, what&#8217;s that worth? Its priceless&#8230;beyond measure. Each soul is unbelievably precious.</p>
<p>Predictably, just as the bible said, scoffers are on the increase.  Anyone who points to Jesus alone (which in fact is &#8220;the Word of God&#8221;) is hated. We are not surprised by the hatred because if the Master was hated to the point of being murdered, <strong>should we expect the people around us to dance a joyful jig when we come saying the same exact things that got our Master crucified?</strong></p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-164 alignright" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Joel Olsteen" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/joel_osteen.jpg" alt="Joel Olsteen" />This alone puts the messages preached at the &#8220;mega churches&#8221; into perspective. <strong>Mr. Joel Olsteen goes out of his way to make sure there&#8217;s nothing offensive to anyone in anything he says.</strong> Results? The largest so called Christian church in America. Contrast the message of Osteen (<em>and all those like him</em>) to the message that got our Lord crucified&#8230;could they be any more different? One set of words leads to throngs worshiping you, the other set of words gets you killed. <span style="color:#ff0000;">You figure it out&#8230;.</span></p>
<p>Time is short guys. The coming reality for this world is stranger than fiction. I wonder if we&#8217;ll be around for the soon coming day when &#8220;the powers that be&#8221; disclose to the world that alien life has been here on earth for quite some time (Nephilim). I wonder what it will be like when these things/superheroes/aliens/demons in disguise get wheeled out. I don&#8217;t want to know, <strong>but that&#8217;s what&#8217;s coming.</strong> The bible clearly tells us that men&#8217;s hearts will fail them from fear of seeing these things that are &#8220;coming on the earth.&#8221;</p>
<h5><em>Luke 21:26</em></h5>
<blockquote><p>Men&#8217;s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which <em><span style="color:#ff0000;">are coming on the earth</span></em>: for the powers of<em> heaven shall be shaken</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Coming on the earth? From where? &#8230;for the powers of heaven (THE HEAVENS) shall be shaken. Outer space, that is, outside the earths atmosphere is where the heavens are.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-330" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 55px 5px;" title="addicted" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/addicted.jpg" alt="addicted" />We have before us both the carrot and the stick. We can choose what pleases our Lord today, or some can choose it later under a pressure that will melt the earth. <strong>Pray that you may be counted worthy of the escape from all that&#8217;s coming and stand before the Son of Man.</strong></p>
<p>A clue to the physical location of where we escape to:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>Where is the Son of Man?</strong><br />
<strong> Answer:</strong> Sitting at the right hand of the Father.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>Where is the Father?</strong><br />
<strong> Answer:</strong> Sitting on his throne in the highest heavens.</p>
<p>Which means when you escape and are standing before Him who sits at the right hand of the Father, you WON&#8217;T be here on earth&#8230;.grace and peace</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I found this to be quite interesting due to several other things I&#8217;ve learned in recent months (I&#8217;ll share some speculative highlights at the end).</p>
<p>Now I for one do believe that God still works thru visions&#8230; and more so in the days to come during the Tribulation as stated in <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=36&amp;chapter=2&amp;version=50" target="_blank">Joel 2:28</a>.  Obviously, we just have to know God&#8217;s word in order to be discerning between trash and truth.</p>
<p>I also want to point out one thing the author says below&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;all I ask you is to remember  what you read here. It&#8217;s not important to believe this, but I beg you to  remember&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>On with the Vision&#8230;(Aurthur Unknown)</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>The Rapture Vision of 1996</strong></span><br />
The coming events or warnings to happen just  before the rapture takes place.</p>
<p>Dearly beloved doves, and brothers and sisters in Jesus name.  This is the  vision given in 1996 concerning world wide events to happen from one to three  weeks before the actual Rapture. This I told to many friends, and was often hurt  at the disbelief, and cold shoulders of many Christian friends that I finally  just put it on the back shelf, and let it sit for the last 13 years. <strong>I now feel  that the Rapture is so close that it needs to be told, urgently. </strong>I agree with  our Christian brother John Tng that there has been so many dreams and visions of  the Rapture that probably no one will believe this one either, but that is okay.  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">All I pray for is everyone to remember.</span> Like our Bible says, the vision will  prove itself with time and testing.  By remembering these visions, it will or can  save you much needless suffering. The Lord does not want to hurt his bride.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-227" style="border: 0pt none;" title="Object In The Sky" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/objectinthesky.gif?w=230" alt="Object In The Sky" width="271" height="353" />There is going to appear above the earth (in the sky) a strange object, it  will be large and sphere shaped, like a ball. It will look like it&#8217;s been built  in sections, like a football with huge rivets at the seams. Many will call this  a UFO, I don&#8217;t know. <strong>It will have the color of copper or bronze.</strong> It will be on  every TV around the world. People will be shocked like the World Trade Center.  People will be glued to their TV&#8217;s but you don&#8217;t. The minute you see this, <strong>run  to the closest food store and get enough canned food and bottled water for about  three weeks</strong>, because between one and 24 hours after this object is seen world  wide there is going to be a massive impact or collision on our sun&#8217;s surface. It  is going to happen on our blind side, we can&#8217;t see it coming. It&#8217;s going to be a  super size twin asteroid hitting the sun in a vital spot, releasing a major  solar storm, knocking out all of earth&#8217;s electricity, all over the world. Those  of you who read this will save yourself and your family much misery.</p>
<p>Now, this is what&#8217;s going to happen in the next 2 or 3 weeks, while the  electricity is off. Within a few days the whole world will start to go crazy  with hunger. <strong>The banks and ATM&#8217;s can&#8217;t work without electricity. No gas pumps  for food transportation, no refrigeration, total darkness.</strong> The robbers, rapists,  and murderers will see right away that no one can call the police for help,  because the solar storm has burned up all communication satellites, cell phones  and telephones. The law can&#8217;t even call each other. It&#8217;s going to be total  breakdown in large cities. There will be gun shots and screams all night long.  Millions will be behind locked doors, praying and begging for God&#8217;s mercy, for  help and protection. He will answer millions of prayers. Millions will ask for  forgiveness, and the Lord and his saints will perform millions of miracles  during these three weeks.</p>
<p>Then after about 3 weeks of this, the Rapture will happen. Although there are  different time zones around the world, the Lord showed it will be night here in  Florida, USA.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-226 alignright" style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 5px;" title="Mystery of the Rapture" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/mysteryoftherapture.jpg" alt="Mystery of the Rapture" />In this vision, I was taken in the spirit out in the woods behind  my house in Florida. <strong>During the spring or early summer</strong>, it started at night. I  didn&#8217;t hear any trumpets or words (come up hither) but I know there&#8217;s going to  be, because the Bible says so. As I was standing there in the spirit of course,  in the middle of some trees, a huge blue beam of light came down like a big  flashlight, about a thirty foot circle around me. The blue light was identical  in color to a welder&#8217;s arc light at night. It was so blinding I put my hands  over my eyes to see if I could see where or what this light was coming from.  Then I noticed in the distant night sky, north, south, east, and west of me,  blue colored stars jetting off the ground spiraling upwards traveling fast, they  were heading for the bright blue object that was shining that beam of light down  on me. It could have been the Lord or an open door to heaven. I really could not  tell, it was so bright and blinding.</p>
<p>Anyway, these little blue stars were going  up in clusters. Different numbers depending on the size of town around me. Then  all of a sudden when they reached about 9:00 high they burst into 10 times their  size. Then I realized it was those alive in Christ joining those dead in Christ.  I was too far away to see any new regenerated bodies or white gowns, but I&#8217;m  sure they were. Then suddenly I was again taken out of my body off to the side  to look at myself standing in the light. That&#8217;s when I saw my own flesh glossing  white as lightning, all my flesh, head and arms, my clothes remained the same.  Then instantly, I vanished and my clothes fell to the ground. From what I saw in  this vision, I was the last to go because all the alive in Christ had joined the  risen dead.</p>
<p>The next afternoon, I had been reading my Bible for about an hour and then  stood up in my living room to take a break, when suddenly at arm&#8217;s length from  my face appeared a blue cloud, the same color as the beam in the Rapture vision.  In the shape of something like a football on its side, about 3 ft long and 2 ft  high &#8211; white, a brilliant white 21 in the middle of it. I never did understand  the meaning of the 21, maybe it was the day of the Rapture. I base no idea, your  guess is as good as mine. Well, that startled me, so I sat down, shocked again  because this was in the middle of the day and I wasn&#8217;t even praying.</p>
<p>Well, my  son was in the kitchen making some tea and he said we were out of sugar. I said  OK, I&#8217;ll go down the road and get some. I began to sit up when this small  newborn baby appeared before my eyes. I&#8217;m starting to come unglued now, because  it hadn&#8217;t been 5 minutes since the blue cloud, when this happened. I told  myself, O my Lord, am I losing my mind? What, O God, does this baby have to do  with the Bible? I must be losing my mind. I really started crying, it was  blowing my mind. Then I noticed this newborn baby had this horrible growth on  the side of it s head, almost as big as the baby&#8217;s head. It was scary ugly,  that&#8217;s how bad. After about 20 seconds, the vision disappeared, the baby was  gone. I told myself I&#8217;ve got to get out of here or I&#8217;m going to start crying  again.</p>
<p>Well, I left and went after the sugar, about 2 miles away. I walked into  the store, the owner and myself were the only ones there. He was on the  telephone talking to some friend of his. I was at the counter waiting to him to  get off the phone, when suddenly a young woman came into the store. She walked  right up beside me and spoke to my friend on the phone. She said, you haven&#8217;t  seen my brand new baby have you and he said no ma&#8217;am. I happened to look down at  the baby and nearly fainted. There was the same baby I&#8217;d seen 10 minutes  earlier. My legs went like rubber and I had to lean on the counter to keep  myself from falling. This action made this young woman mad, I mean angry, my  reaction insulted her greatly. She yelled at me and said, the doctor says it&#8217;s  just a birth mark, and it will shrink and go away. She then stormed out of the  store. My friend said, did you see that thing on the baby&#8217;s head? I said yes, I  saw it 10 minutes before I came here. That was the last one, never again in 13  years. The only thing I can figure out is, He was showing me that every vision  he had shown me was going to happen.</p>
<p>My friends, all I ask you is to remember  what you read here. It&#8217;s not important to believe this, but I beg you to  remember.</p>
<p>Your brother in Christ<br />

<p><strong>Here are a few speculative points that I have discovered in recent months that I find oddly enough to be somewhat related:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">He stated above that it happened in the &#8220;Spring or Early Summer&#8221;&#8230;</span> There&#8217;s reason to believe that the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) has not actually completed yet; but we know and believe that Pentecost was the birth of the Church in Acts 2. Therefore, the &#8220;Rapture&#8221; may very well be on a Pentecost instead on Feast of Trumpets as some believe; concluding the&#8221; Church Age&#8221;? Think of it like Pentecost in reverse! When you study the three main harvests of the Jewish culture, Pentecost is a &#8220;FirstFruits&#8221; harvest (offering).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If Planet X/Nibiru is real&#8230; Currently/supposedly it&#8217;s only visible from the South Pole. There&#8217;s a tremendous amount of garbage on the web regarding this subject&#8230; so reader beware!</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It is believed by many scholars and students of bible prophecy that the escape &#8220;Rapture&#8221; will happen on one of two time frames&#8230; either the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) or on the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) on any given year; however, there are many, many pieces of the puzzle pointing to 2009-2012&#8230; (BTW: If you&#8217;re one who lives the scripture verse &#8220;No man knows the day or hour&#8221; then I highly recommend that you study the Jewish Feast Days because both of these feasts consist of multiple days; and Jesus DID say that we would know when His coming was near&#8230; Even At The Door &#8211; Just continue to pray that you&#8217;re counted worthy to &#8220;Escape&#8221; all these things that are coming (i.e., the Tribulation). Lk 21:36</li>

<p><span id="more-137"></span><span style="color:#ff0000;">The text below is an excerpt from the article above &#8220;Space Storm Alert: 90 Seconds from Catastrophe&#8221;&#8230; I wanted to include it here because it outlines the chain of events that could/would transpire after a Solar Storm&#8230; somewhat validating what the author explained above.  Again, this is just something  to keep in the back of your mind.  Some bible scholars believe that the event of the Rapture very well may provide a type of EMP (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse" target="_blank">Electro Magetic Pulse</a>) effect that could knock out power grids across the globe.</span></p>
<p>Our modern way of life, with its reliance on technology, has unwittingly exposed us to an extraordinary danger: plasma balls spewed from the surface of the sun could wipe out our power grids, with catastrophic consequences.</p>
<p>The projections of just how catastrophic make chilling reading. &#8220;We&#8217;re moving closer and closer to the edge of a possible disaster,&#8221; says Daniel Baker, a space weather expert based at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and chair of the NAS committee responsible for the report.</p>
<p>It is hard to conceive of the sun wiping out a large amount of our hard-earned progress. Nevertheless, it is possible. The surface of the sun is a roiling mass of plasma &#8211; charged high-energy particles &#8211; some of which escape the surface and travel through space as the solar wind. From time to time, that wind carries a billion-tonne glob of plasma, a fireball known as a coronal mass ejection <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20127001.300-space-storm-alert-90-seconds-from-catastrophe.html?full=true#bx270013B1">(see &#8220;When hell comes to Earth&#8221;)</a>. If one should hit the Earth&#8217;s magnetic shield, the result could be truly devastating.</p>
<p>The incursion of the plasma into our atmosphere causes rapid changes in the configuration of Earth&#8217;s magnetic field which, in turn, induce currents in the long wires of the power grids. The grids were not built to handle this sort of direct current electricity. The greatest danger is at the step-up and step-down transformers used to convert power from its transport voltage to domestically useful voltage. The increased DC current creates strong magnetic fields that saturate a transformer&#8217;s magnetic core. The result is runaway current in the transformer&#8217;s copper wiring, which rapidly heats up and melts. This is exactly what happened in the Canadian province of <a href="http://www.solarstorms.org/SS1989.html" target="nsarticle">Quebec</a> in March 1989, and six million people spent 9 hours without electricity. But things could get much, much worse than that.</p>
<h3 class="crosshead">Worse than Katrina</h3>
<p>The most serious space weather event in history happened in 1859. It is known as the Carrington event, after the British amateur astronomer Richard Carrington, who was the first to <a href="http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/seri/MNRAS/0020//0000013.000.html" target="nsarticle">note</a> its cause: &#8220;two patches of intensely bright and white light&#8221; emanating from a large group of sunspots. The <a href="http://www.stuartclark.com/sunkings.html" target="nsarticle">Carrington event</a> comprised eight days of severe space weather.</p>
<p>There were eyewitness accounts of stunning auroras, even at equatorial latitudes. The world&#8217;s telegraph networks experienced severe disruptions, and <a href="http://www.geomag.bgs.ac.uk/carrington.html" target="nsarticle">Victorian magnetometers were driven off the scale</a>.</p>
<p>Though a solar outburst could conceivably be more powerful, <strong>&#8220;we haven&#8217;t found an example of anything worse than a Carrington event&#8221;</strong>, says James Green, head of NASA&#8217;s planetary division and an expert on the events of 1859. &#8220;From a scientific perspective, that would be the one that we&#8217;d want to survive.&#8221; However, the prognosis from the NAS analysis is that, thanks to our technological prowess, many of us may not.</p>
<p><strong>There are two problems to face: </strong></p>
<p>The first is the modern electricity grid, which is designed to operate at ever higher voltages over ever larger areas. Though this provides a more efficient way to run the electricity networks, minimizing power losses and wastage through overproduction, it has made them much more vulnerable to space weather. The high-power grids act as particularly efficient antennas, channeling enormous direct currents into the power transformers.</p>
<p>The second problem is the grid&#8217;s interdependence with the systems that support our lives: water and sewage treatment, supermarket delivery infrastructures, power station controls, financial markets and many others all rely on electricity. Put the two together, and it is clear that a repeat of the <a href="http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/06may_carringtonflare.htm" target="_blank">Carrington event</a> could produce a catastrophe the likes of which the world has never seen.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It&#8217;s just the opposite of how we usually think of natural disasters,&#8221; says John Kappenman, a power industry analyst with the <a href="http://www.metatechcorp.com/" target="nsarticle">Metatech Corporation</a> of Goleta, California, and an advisor to the NAS committee that produced the report. &#8220;Usually the less developed regions of the world are most vulnerable, not the highly sophisticated technological regions.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>According to the NAS report, a severe space weather event in the US could induce ground currents that would knock out 300 key transformers within about 90 seconds, cutting off the power for more than 130 million people (see map). From that moment, the clock is ticking for America.</p>
<p><strong>First to go</strong> &#8211; immediately for some people &#8211; is drinkable water. Anyone living in a high-rise apartment, where water has to be pumped to reach them, would be cut off straight away. For the rest, drinking water will still come through the taps for maybe half a day. With no electricity to pump water from reservoirs, there is no more after that.</p>
<p>There is simply no electrically powered transport: no trains, underground or overground. Our just-in-time culture for delivery networks may represent the pinnacle of efficiency, but it means that supermarket shelves would empty very quickly &#8211; delivery trucks could only keep running until their tanks ran out of fuel, and there is no electricity to pump any more from the underground tanks at filling stations.</p>
<p>Back-up generators would run at pivotal sites &#8211; but only until their fuel ran out. For hospitals, that would mean about 72 hours of running a bare-bones, essential care only, service. After that, no more modern healthcare.</p>
<div class="quotebx bxbg">
<div class="quoteopen">
<div class="quoteclose">
<div class="quotebody lowlight"><strong> 72 hours of health care remaining</strong></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>The truly shocking finding is that this whole situation would not improve for months, maybe years: melted transformer hubs cannot be repaired, only replaced.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;From the surveys I&#8217;ve done, you might have a few spare transformers around, but installing a new one takes a well-trained crew a week or more,&#8221; says Kappenman. &#8220;A major electrical utility might have one suitably trained crew, maybe two.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Within a month, then, the handful of spare transformers would be used up. The rest will have to be built to order, something that can take up to 12 months.</p>
<p>Even when some systems are capable of receiving power again, there is no guarantee there will be any to deliver. Almost all natural gas and fuel pipelines require electricity to operate. Coal-fired power stations usually keep reserves to last 30 days, but with no transport systems running to bring more fuel, there will be no electricity in the second month.</p>
<div class="quotebx bxbg">
<div class="quoteopen">
<div class="quoteclose">
<div class="quotebody lowlight"><strong> 30 days of coal left</strong></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Nuclear power stations wouldn&#8217;t fare much better. They are programmed to shut down in the event of serious grid problems and are not allowed to restart until the power grid is up and running.</p>
<p>With no power for heating, cooling or refrigeration systems, people could begin to die within days. There is immediate danger for those who rely on medication. Lose power to New Jersey, for instance, and you have lost a major center of production of pharmaceuticals for the entire US. Perishable medications such as insulin will soon be in short supply.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;In the US alone there are a million people with diabetes,&#8221; Kappenman says. &#8220;Shut down production, distribution and storage and you put all those lives at risk in very short order.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Help is not coming any time soon, either. If it is dark from the eastern seaboard to Chicago, some affected areas are hundreds, maybe thousands of miles away from anyone who might help. And those willing to help are likely to be ill-equipped to deal with the sheer scale of the disaster. &#8220;If a Carrington event happened now, it would be like a <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn7919-hurricane-katrina-roars-into-louisiana.html">hurricane Katrina</a>, but 10 times worse,&#8221; says Paul Kintner, a plasma physicist at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.</p>
<p>In reality, it would be much worse than that. Hurricane Katrina&#8217;s societal and economic impact has been measured at $81 billion to $125 billion. According to the NAS report, the impact of what it terms a &#8220;severe geomagnetic storm scenario&#8221; could be as high as $2 trillion. And that&#8217;s just the first year after the storm. The NAS puts the recovery time at four to 10 years. It is questionable whether the US would ever bounce back.</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think the NAS report is scaremongering,&#8221; says Mike Hapgood, who chairs the European Space Agency&#8217;s space weather team. Green agrees. &#8220;Scientists are conservative by nature and this group is really thoughtful,&#8221; he says. &#8220;This is a fair and balanced report.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Such nightmare scenarios are not restricted to North America. High latitude nations such as Sweden and Norway have been aware for a while that, while regular views of the aurora are pretty, they are also reminders of an ever-present threat to their electricity grids. However, the trend towards installing extremely high voltage grids means that lower latitude countries are also at risk. For example, China is on the way to implementing a 1000-kilovolt electrical grid, twice the voltage of the US grid. This would be a superb conduit for space weather-induced disaster because the grid&#8217;s efficiency to act as an antenna rises as the voltage between the grid and the ground increases. &#8220;China is going to discover at some point that they have a problem,&#8221; Kappenman says.</p>
<p>Neither is Europe sufficiently prepared. Responsibility for dealing with space weather issues is &#8220;very fragmented&#8221; in Europe, says Hapgood.</p>
<p>Europe&#8217;s electricity grids, on the other hand, are highly interconnected and extremely vulnerable to cascading failures. In 2006, the routine switch-off of a small part of Germany&#8217;s grid &#8211; to let a ship pass safely under high-voltage cables &#8211; caused a cascade power failure across western Europe. In France alone, five million people were left without electricity for two hours.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;These systems are so complicated we don&#8217;t fully understand the effects of twiddling at one place,&#8221; Hapgood says. &#8220;Most of the time it&#8217;s alright, but occasionally it will get you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The good news is that, given enough warning, the utility companies can take precautions, such as adjusting voltages and loads, and restricting transfers of energy so that sudden spikes in current don&#8217;t cause cascade failures. There is still more bad news, however. Our early warning system is becoming more unreliable by the day.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-223" style="border: 0pt none; margin-right: 5px; margin-left: 5px;" title="ace_quart" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/ace_quart.gif" alt="ace_quart" width="190" height="190" />By far the most important indicator of incoming space weather is NASA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.srl.caltech.edu/ACE/" target="nsarticle">Advanced Composition Explorer</a> (ACE). The probe, launched in 1997, has a solar orbit that keeps it directly between the sun and Earth. Its uninterrupted view of the sun means it gives us continuous reports on the direction and velocity of the solar wind and other streams of charged particles that flow past its sensors. ACE can provide between 15 and 45 minutes&#8217; warning of any incoming geomagnetic storms. The power companies need about 15 minutes to prepare their systems for a critical event, so that would seem passable.</p>
<div class="quotebx bxbg">
<div class="quoteopen">
<div class="quoteclose">
<div class="quotebody lowlight"><strong> 15 minutes&#8217; warning</strong></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>However, observations of the sun and magnetometer readings during the Carrington event shows that the coronal mass ejection was traveling so fast it took less than 15 minutes to get from where ACE is positioned to Earth. &#8220;It arrived faster than we can do anything,&#8221; Hapgood says.</p>
<p>There is another problem. ACE is 11 years old, and operating well beyond its planned lifespan. The onboard detectors are not as sensitive as they used to be, and there is no telling when they will finally give up the ghost. Furthermore, its sensors become saturated in the event of a really powerful solar flare. &#8220;It was built to look at average conditions rather than extremes,&#8221; Baker says.</p>
<p>He was part of a space weather commission that three years ago warned about the problems of relying on ACE. &#8220;It&#8217;s been on my mind for a long time,&#8221; he says. &#8220;To not have a spare, or a strategy to replace it if and when it should fail, is rather foolish.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is no replacement for ACE due any time soon. Other solar observation satellites, such as the <a href="http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/" target="nsarticle">Solar and Heliospheric Observatory</a> (SOHO) can provide some warning, but with less detailed information and &#8211; crucially &#8211; much later. &#8220;It&#8217;s quite hard to assess what the impact of losing ACE will be,&#8221; Hapgood says. &#8220;We will largely lose the early warning capability.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-224 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="soho_top" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/soho_top.jpg" alt="soho_top" width="510" height="83" /></p>
<p>The world will, most probably, yawn at the prospect of a devastating solar storm until it happens. Kintner says his students show a &#8220;deep indifference&#8221; when he lectures on the impact of space weather. But if policy-makers show a similar indifference in the face of the latest NAS report, it could cost tens of millions of lives, Kappenman reckons. &#8220;It could conceivably be the worst natural disaster possible,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>The report outlines the worst case scenario for the US. The &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; is most likely on a spring or autumn night in a year of heightened solar activity &#8211; something like 2012. Around the equinoxes, the orientation of the Earth&#8217;s field to the sun makes us particularly vulnerable to a plasma strike.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more, at these times of year, electricity demand is relatively low because no one needs too much heating or air conditioning. With only a handful of the US grid&#8217;s power stations running, the system relies on computer algorithms shunting large amounts of power around the grid and this leaves the network highly vulnerable to sudden spikes.</p>
<p>If ACE has failed by then, or a plasma ball flies at us too fast for any warning from ACE to reach us, the consequences could be staggering. <strong>&#8220;A really large storm could be a planetary disaster,&#8221;</strong> Kappenman says.</p>
<p>So what should be done? No one knows yet &#8211; the report is meant to spark that conversation. Baker is worried, though, that the odds are stacked against that conversation really getting started. As the NAS report notes, it is terribly difficult to inspire people to prepare for a potential crisis that has never happened before and may not happen for decades to come. &#8220;It takes a lot of effort to educate policy-makers, and that is especially true with these low-frequency events,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>We should learn the lessons of hurricane Katrina, though, and realize that &#8220;unlikely&#8221; doesn&#8217;t mean &#8220;won&#8217;t happen&#8221;. Especially when the stakes are so high. The fact is, it could come in the next three or four years &#8211; and with devastating effects.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Carrington event happened during a mediocre, ho-hum solar cycle,&#8221; Kintner says. <strong>&#8220;It came out of nowhere, so we just don&#8217;t know when something like that is going to happen again.&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>by Brother Dave&#8230; <em>(emphasis added)</em></p>
<p>The Lord dropped this one straight into my head this afternoon with some commentary:</p>
<blockquote><p>Rev 3: 3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. <strong>If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. (YLT)<br />
</strong></p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-298 aligncenter" style="border: 3px solid black; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px;" title="Mystery of the Rapture" src="http://kingdomengineers.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/mysteryoftherapture.jpg" alt="Mystery of the Rapture" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Who is he talking to here?</strong> The Church.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s he talking about?</strong> Watching!</p>
<p><strong>Watching for what?</strong> His arrival, His coming!</p>
<p>This is very specific and timely. We know there are people within the church today who specifically refuse to watch for his coming today because their doctrine says he can&#8217;t show up until sometime mid-trib,post-trib, pre-wrath.</p>
<p><strong>What does the Lord say about these people, these who &#8220;will not watch?&#8221;</strong> He will come like a thief to them. Why? They WEREN&#8217;T WATCHING. The only time a thief would surprise someone is if he came when they were not watching, correct?</p>
<p><strong>Contrast the groups for yourself:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Which group is watching for the Lord&#8217;s return today and everyday till he reveals himself?</strong> Pre-trib, pre-flood, pre-fire and brimstone (Noah and Lot), Escape from all believers.</p>
<p><strong>Who specifically in the church is not watching for the Lord&#8217;s return today and will argue with anyone and everyone who claims he can return today?</strong> Mid-Trib, Pre-Wrath, Post-Trib teachers, and those who think there is no escape at all.</p>
<p>The church has been warned in very plain language. <span style="color:#ff0000;">Jesus will come like a thief to those who are caught not watching when he shows up.</span> The only group I know of who will not possibly be affected by the sudden and unexpected return of the Lord <em>&#8220;like a thief&#8221;</em> are <strong>those who believe the word of God literally</strong>, those who heed to warning to be ready every day for Jesus Christ.</p>
<p>This is an open and shut case folks. It&#8217;s as easy as pinning down someone with the question on the escape.</p>
<p>If you are mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib and not praying to escape all, why not? Doesn&#8217;t the word of God tell you to? If you are praying to escape all, why? Your doctrine nullifies the word of God relating to the escape..</p>
<p>If you are mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib, are you watching today for the arrival of the Lord? (NO) Does&#8217;nt the word tell us that those caught by surprise (like a thief) are those who are not watching when he shows up?</p>
<p><strong>How can those who are looking for the Lord&#8217;s return everyday be caught on the wrong side of &#8220;watching?&#8221;</strong> They can&#8217;t, they&#8217;re continually watching for the return of the Lord.</p>
<p><strong>How can the mid-trib, pre-wrath, post-trib teacher be caught <em>&#8220;like a thief,&#8221;</em></strong> unprepared, not watching for the Lord&#8217;s return? Easy, Jesus could show up today.</p>
<p>The message is clear. The church has been warned. The people who teach doctrines that conflict with the straightforward reading of God&#8217;s word will pay a price for it. If that price means missing <a title="Escape Rapture" href="http://kingdomengineers.com/rapture/" target="_blank">the escape</a> and entering the tribulation, oh my&#8230;</p>
