DEATH GRIP IN THESE LAST DAYS

Just think if the whole Church had been watching just as Jesus commanded and were excitedly seeing His prophetic Word coming to pass before our eyes!

What if all the pastors were crying out and proclaiming the clarion call for all to be ready??

Facebook, the Tower of Babel of modern days, would be abuzz with thousands upon thousands of believers connecting the dots of current end times world events.

All of those belonging to the risen Christ would be sounding the alarm of how today's escalating global chaos was all prophesied for the last days.

Not only would many lukewarm Christians be set ablaze by these facts, but many of the lost would be won for the Kingdom!

As it is, satan, the great deceiver and god of this world, has cleverly immersed much of the Church of Jesus Christ into the enticements of the temporal; to where they are drowning in the pursuits of pleasure. 

"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money...lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God – having a form of godliness but denying its power..." (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

Therefore, many professing believers are so devoted to the world; that they don't even want to hear any mention that all the things they are so enamored with, might soon be ending.

If they would only realize, that God's plans set into motion from the beginning of time, will come to pass regardless.

We have to choose to either accept or reject the attractions of this world, offered to us by the enemy, ha satan.

If we choose to accept the world and give it priority; with our time, finances and efforts, we worship not Jesus, but Lucifer:

Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ⁹ “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

As a result, the vast array of worldly pleasures that so many professing Christians cling to with such a death grip...very might well be the death of them!

If only they would realize that the many worldly distractions that now demand much of their attention, will cease to even exist. 

Once the Lord has Raptured those who are ready, the many deceptive allures of the world will vanish instantly and be replaced by an avalanche of disaster, destruction and consuming fear.

The global headlines are growing darker and more grim each day; fulfilling God's prophetic Word and proving that we are now at the end of the age.

It is time to forsake the lusts of worldly seductions and give God and His Kingdom our total devotion.

When Yeshua Ha Mashiach returns, He will leave behind the lukewarm, who belong to the world, to face the wrath and horrors of the Tribulation.

We either belong to the world or to the Lord. We CANNOT have it both ways! IT IS TIME TO MAKE A CLEAR CHOICE!!

Matthew 25:30 And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

 

 

 

WAS THE CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE A WARNING OR SIGNAL FROM GOD?

Everyone knows the basic mechanics of earthquakes and that they occur due to slippage of faults, at fault lines.

So it is well realized that earthquakes originate from the sudden movements of the earth's tectonic plates, close to the earth's surface, along zones of pre-existing weakness called faults.

As such, great earthquakes are associated with major faults (cracks) in the crust. When the faults are locked tightly together, the strain accumulates without producing earthquakes. When the faults relax, the rocks slip and shake the earth.

Incredible as it is, there was NO fault at or near Christchurch, New Zealand, prior to the September 2010 massive 7.0 quake!! 

Instead, it is widely reported that last year's huge quake actually "ripped a new fault line in the Earth's surface".
 

"New Zealand Quake Rips New Fault."

"The powerful earthquake that smashed buildings, cracked roads and twisted rail lines around the New Zealand city of Christchurch also ripped a new fault line in the Earth's surface, a geologist said Sunday".

 

http://www.aolnews.com/world/article/widespread-damage-caused-in-new-zealand-earthquake/19621106

"Earth's surface 'lurches 11ft to the right' as New Zealand earthquake rips new fault line".

"The earthquake that devastated a city in New Zealand tore open a new 11ft fault line in the Earth’s surface."

"The 7.1-magnitude quake which hit Christchurch, the country’s second-largest city, destroyed about 500 buildings and caused an estimated £930million of damage."

 "Miraculous"

  
The Prime Minister of New Zealand , "who visited earthquake-stricken parts of the country's South Island over the weekend, said 430 houses and another 70 buildings had already been earmarked for demolition by assessment teams."

 

"About 100,000 of the 160,000 homes in the Christchurch, Selwyn and Waimakariri areas had sustained some damage, he added."

"I was awe-struck by the power of the earthquake and the damage it has caused in the city," he told reporters. "It was miraculous that nobody was killed."

 The scientific awareness of normal plate tectonics as the cause of earthquakes, gives deeper meaning to the supernatural significance of the 7.0 quake in Christchurch, New Zealand in the fall of 2010.
 

As had been reported, the earth's surface just "lurched" and ripped a new fault line. 

This event is surely phenomenal and shows the handprint of God as the crust just ripped open, while sparing the lives of the entire populace of the city.

 As the Prime Minister stated "It was "miraculous that nobody was killed".

 

Even though there were more than 100,000 buildings suffering damage and more than 500 structures so severely damaged that they are slated for demolition, there were no casualties.

 

This is another factor that is confounded the experts. What are the chances that out of more than 500 buildings being destroyed at 4:35 am when most residents would be at home,sleeping, that no lives would be lost?

 

Only two people out of the city's 348,400 residents sustained serious injuries even though "When the earthquake finally ended the city looked like a scene from a horror film".

 

http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/world-news/when-the-earthquake-finally-ended-the-city-looked-like-a-scene-from-a-horror-film-1.1052928

 "Only two serious injuries were reported from the quake as chimneys and walls of older buildings were reduced to rubble and crumbled to the ground. Prime Minister John Key said it was a miracle no one was killed."

God mercifully allowed none to perish and only two to be seriously injured with this sign that He has surely presented to us.   

Apparently, God used the city named CHRISTCHURCH in which it was scientifically impossible to experience an earthquake. 

 It therefore appears evident that the God of Heaven ripped open the crust because previously there was NO FAULT LINE at or near Christchurch New Zealand, but there is now!

 

 Research on the other "Christchurch" city on our globe, which is in Barbados, shows that it IS on a fault line.

 

So, the difference between the two is that the Christchurch in Barbados is on a fault line whereas Christchurch, New Zealand was not.

 

 It appears that the Lord purposefully used the "Christchurch" where an earthquake was impossible according to plate tectonics, so as to prove it was His intervention.

 

 Interesting to note, New Zealand's main commercial activity is the raising of sheep.

 

 The fact that sheep are representative of New Zealand further evidences the strong possibility that this is a signal from the Lord to His sheep, the flock of Jesus Christ! 

 

John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

 

It is now time for those who belong to the risen Christ, to hear His voice and divert their focus from the world onto Him, so they can truly be His followers!

IS THIS SECOND CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE SENDING YET ANOTHER WARNING TO CHRIST'S CHURCH??

This week's deadly 6.3 quake in Christchurch, New Zealand may be very significant, especially considering the supernatural implications surrounding the Sept. 2010 quake that indicated that it was a merciful forewarning:

Please see the following entry for the miraculous details:
   

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/02/was-christchurch-earthquake-warning-or.html

As the astonishing facts attest, it appears as if the protection of human lives in the 7.0 earthquake was nothing short of divine providence.

Notable is the fact that there has been a ongoing swarm of earthquakes in Christchurch, from September 2010 to present, numbering upwards to 5000.


http://www.christchurchquakemap.co.nz/

There does indeed seem to be a message from God in these earthquakes at Christchurch, being sent to Christ's Church. 

The September 7.0 quake appears to have been a forewarning to the Church to wake from their slumber and to prepare for the return of Jesus Christ.

Not coincidentally, the September quake occurred during the middle of the night, while most of Christchurch slept.

Interestingly, most of the Church did not heed the first wake up call and continues to remain asleep; oblivious to the many signs that the Lord has been mercifully sending to warn us that we are approaching the end of the age. 

This second,deadly quake at Christchurch may indicate that the Lord is trying to literally shake those who profess to belong to Him, out of their complacency.

It also illustrates that those who refuse to wake up and release their grip on the things of the world and draw close to Him; may suffer severe repercussions as the Tribulation draws closer and closer.

The recent quake also sent a clear message to the the Church of Jesus Christ with the toppling of the spire of an iconic Christchurch cathedral.

A spire atop a church represents reaching up to God. Thus, the removal of this spire may represent the current apathy and indifference of worldwide Christians;many who have become lukewarm as their true love and devotion seems to be for the things of this world and it's fleeting pleasures.

This toppling/removal may signify what can be expected for those who profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior but give Him not the priority He demands and deserves:

"Witnesses said the quake destroyed the iconic stone Christchurch Cathedral, its spire toppled into a central city square.." 

 May the true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach wake up from their slumber and gather the extra oil needed for the trying days ahead, while we wait for the coming of the Bridegroom!

WHAT DOES THE RECENT "UFO" OVER THE TEMPLE MOUNT HAVE TO DO WITH END TIMES BIBLE PROPHECY?

Within the past several days there have surfaced a total of four separate videos showing a UFO descend, hover, flash brightly and then streak back upwards, directly over the spire of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

Please note that many credible eschatologists (Bible prophecy scholars), for a variety of valid reasons, espouse the belief that UFO's are demonic apparitions and NOT visitors from other planets aka "aliens".

Realizing their true origin, these videos may be viewed in proper perspective. Please also note the significance of their appearance over the Temple Mount, which is the most sought after, fought after, piece of real estate on the globe. 

The Temple Mount is considered holy by the three most dominant world religions: Christianity, Judaism and Islam.

Even more astounding is the fact that this demonic manifestation is directly over the one of the most sacred Islamic mosques, the Dome of the Rock.

Notable is the fact that this amazing well documented sighting occurred on January 28, 2011 when the current spate of Mideast uprisings was just taking a foothold. 

These revolts may be the catalyst that sparks the ignition of the coming Psalm 83 War, prophesied for the last days. 

Please see the following blog entry for the details of this War, which may well mark the beginning of the Tribulation period:

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2010/04/what-is-psalm-83-war-here-are-details.html

It is also imperative to realize that Jerusalem is God's holy city, which the world is desiring to divide in these last days. 

Therefore, this recent "UFO" manifestation in Jerusalem, over the Temple Mount and directly over the spire of the Dome of the Rock is extremely significant and nothing short of astounding in light of Bible prophecy.

The four following videos are footage of the very same event, through four different lens from four different vantage points.

They are taken from a range of distances from upon a hillside to within the city; with a variance of differing angles. 

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrmPTnhaHzs&feature=player_embedded

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY2FFEufsuY

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXbtei8TXfE

These videos can therefore, not be debunked as they are of the same exact sighting by several spectators from varying positions. 

The timing of the activity of descending, hovering, flashing brightly and then streaking upward by the UFO/demonic entity correlates perfectly as it is the exact same in each video.

As such, the timing of this "UFO's" activity further solidifies the veracity of the footage.

Please note that there are a multitude of other rationales, regarding the UFO phenomena, proving that they are indeed demonic manifestations. These proofs will be covered at a later date.

At this time, however, it is vital to realize that most in the field of Bible prophecy believe that UFO phenomena will be used by the enemy as an end times deception that will deceive many as for so many, "seeing is believing":

2 Thessalonians 2:9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie.

From the above Scripture, it appears that God may allow this delusion by Satan, to those who refuse "to love the truth". 

This may be another reason that Scripture so emphasizes the importance of faith; so that the people of God, who love the truth and hold it in their hearts by faith, will not waiver and fall for the lie which will propagated by the great deceiver.

This is why it is so important that Christ followers to be strong in their faith as well as to be alert to the possibility of this coming great delusion. 

We cannot know the timing of the grand appearance of this delusion to the masses and whether or not it will precede the Rapture of the the readied Bride. 

Therefore, it is so important for Christ followers to be in the Word of God and drawing nigh to Him as the days grow short and the times more perilous!
