ARE WE APPROACHING THE "LAST DAY" WHEN CHRIST WILL "RAISE" UP HIS OWN??

Before reading further, please see the previous entries that contain vast scientific, mathematical and historical evidence that all appear to be directly pointing to this Passover Week, 2012:

Please see the following study which also seems to pinpoint the LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread which is also the LAST DAY of Passover Week, to be VERY significant:

http://www.rogershermansociety.org/fivedoves/gaston004.htm

Following are even more additional rationales that also strongly point to this Passover Week.

The seventh and LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, commemorates when Israel safely crossed the Red Sea, on dry ground, as they headed towards the Promised Land.

This imagery may parallel the designated day when the Bride of Christ will be given safe passage into the Promise of Heaven.

These many points appear to particularly hone in on the LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which ends this coming Shabbat.

Note that the weekly Shabbat (Sabbath Day/LAST DAY of the week) represents God's  appointed day of rest. Therefore, it appears to be a practice for our eternal rest.

As such, it would appear likely that the Rapture of those who long for His appearing would occur on a Shabbat/Sabbath Day.

Note that Yeshua told us TWICE that He will "raise" those that are His, "AT THE LAST DAY":

"And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at THE LAST DAY."

"For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the LAST DAY." John 6:39- 40

Important to be aware of is the fact that during Passover Week, The Song of Songs is traditionally read on the LAST DAY of the Feast of Unleavened Bread:

"My BELOVED speaks and says to me: ARISE, my love, my beautiful one, AND COME AWAY" Song of Solomon 2:10

The following 2 verses allude  to the Spring as being the time to "ARISE"!

"For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtledoves fills the air."

Could this coming Spring, Sabbath day which is the LAST DAY/end of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, be the day that Yeshua beckons the readied and faithful Bride to "ARISE" and "COME AWAY"?

Very soon we shall see. It is time to ask God to reveal anything and everything in our lives that is displeasing to Him, so we can fully repent and prepare our hearts for His coming, whenever it may be.

May we all make sure our lamps are full to the brim with oil whenever our "BELOVED" Bridegroom returns to take us to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb!

PART 3-GOD'S PROPHETIC PLAN REVEALED IN THESE VERY LAST DAYS!

Before reading any further, please read the  previous two parts to this three part series, linked immediately below.

The astounding facts contained within them are the foundation for which this last of the series is built upon:

Part 1- http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/03/gods-prophetic-plan-revealed-in-these.html

Part 2- http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2012/04/gods-prophetic-plan-revealed-in-these.html

Next, we will investigate a newly discovered pattern regarding seismic activity. This pattern has now been recognized to have been in effect for at least 200 years, since the beginning of the modern day recording of earthquakes.

The below video details this stunning new revelation regarding the historical evidence, proving the "188 day" cycle of major quakes.
 

It also outlines how these cyclic quakes have actually produced geographical trigonometrical angles across the planet, referred to as "ley lines".

These mathematical "ley lines" further evidence the supernatural indication of these cyclic quakes.

As the video details, March 22, 2012 was the "due date" for there to be a large quake, directly associated with the 188 day cycle

Just prior to the 188 cycle "due date" of March 22nd, there were two major earthquakes on March 20th.

These "twin quakes" were highly unusual as they happened within 6 minutes of each other, on completely opposite sides of the globe.

Usually, any large seismic activity experienced during a short duration of time is always related to the initial quake, as in aftershocks.

Therefore, these two quakes on the exact opposite sides of our planet is noteworthy.

One of these "twin quakes" was 6.2 magnitude earthquake near Papua, Indonesia and the other a shallow 7.6 magnitude earthquake near Oaxaca, Mexico. For further details see:

http://theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com/2012/03/20/twin-earthquakes-rattle-the-globe-on-spring-equinox/

After the March 22, 2012 "due date", on March 25, 2012 there was a 7.1 in Maule, Chile.

To date, there have been many magnitude 4's, 5's and a few up to 6.1, at the highest.

Even with the above sizable quakes around the March 22nd due date, the fact that the 188 day pattern can have a variance, extending out to 11-15 days past the expected date, stuck out to me.

Interestingly, fifteen days from the original March 22, 2012 date lands directly on Passover, April 6, 2012.

The previous two blogs, linked above, expound on the importance of this year's Passover.

Therefore, this possibility of the 188 day cycle major resulting in a massive quake; falling on Passover was intriguing to say the least.

My personal belief is that the aforementioned "twin quakes" and all subsequent moderate quakes to date,  may only be precursors building up to a massive quake.

It has been impressed upon me that the current 188 day cyclic quake may be yet to occur.

This Passover quake potential soon changed from intriguing to literally jaw-dropping, when I was led to famed earthquake predictor, Jim Berkland.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Berkland

Mr. Berkland, a former U.S.G.S geologist, is  best known for his amazingly accurate prediction of the 1989, 6.9 Loma Prieta, California quake; that struck just prior to the start of the World Series game being played there.

"In an interview published on October 13, 1989, one day before the start of baseball's 1989 World Series, Berkland predicted that an earthquake with magnitude between 3.5 and 6.0 would occur in the San Francisco Bay Area between October 14 and October 21. The 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake occurred on October 17, just before the start of the third game of the Series."

Soon after the realization of a possible Passover connection; I was blessed to have been graciously allowed a personal interview with Mr. Berkland.

As Part 1 and Part 2 of this series asserts, the window of Passover week, April 6-14 2012 has been pinpointed by not only scientific but also, historical and mathematical facts aligning Biblically, with almost laser precision.

Therefore, imagine my astonishment when during our conversation, Mr. Berkland, as a expert in seismology and proven earthquake prediction, relayed his "seismic window" to be the EXACT same time period, of April 6-14, 2012!!

During a follow-up email, Mr. Berkland made this remark regarding our mutual "windows" of time:

"It was a pleasure to talk with you and learn that your "Window" matched mine of April 6-13, 2012, although derived by different means. 

I have been using the astronomical syzygy of the Moon-Earth-Sun linked to the monthly perigee of the Moon in order to establish the maximum tidal forces that affect the oceans AND the solid earth."

Regarding his acclaimed 1989 World Series prediction, Mr Berkland stated this regarding his prediction accuracy:

"Because of a newspaper article on extreme tides,I had an inspiration on January 8, 1974 that these forces might help trigger earthquakes. I checked on the previous six quakes in the Bay Area and found that they all fit the pattern. So I made my first prediction that a 4 to 5M quake would hit the South Bay within a week and a 4.4M hit two days later. Using this method I was successful 6 out of 8 times in 1974. I have maintained that average ever since then."

Important to note: the definition of a "perigee" of the moon is when its orbit has its closest to the Earth.

He also indicated that the full moon and lunar perigee are usually up to 8 days apart, and are within 25 hours only two to five times a year; thereby signifying that a shorter time interval between the two is rare.

Mr. Berkland then continued:

"The Full Moon/Perigee separation on Oct. 14, 1989 was the closest of the year a 4 hours, and the tides were the highest in 3 years, when I made my prediction for a World Series Earthquake of 6.5-7.0M."

Next, he outlined and explained all the supporting factors pointing to his predicted April 6-13th '"seismic window":

"As for the tides, there are three most important factors, the alignment of Sun, Moon and Earth; the closest monthly approach of the Moon to the Earth; and the yearly closest approach of the Earth to the Sun. 

On April 6, 2012 the Full Moon and Perigee will be only 21 hours apart and the Golden Gate tides will reach 7.7 ft. Compared with a normal 4-4.5 ft. This creates one of the Top Seismic Windows I have recognized, with a high potential for earthquakes.

After I spoke with you on the phone this morning I realized that the May 4-11 Seismic Window was even more potent as the  G.G. (Golden Gate Bridge).


Tides reach a maximum 8.6 ft.and the Full Moon/perigee will be separated by an

Incredibly short interval of two minutes!

We must keep in mind that the highest tides do not necessarily stimulate the highest magnitude quakes, but, in my view, the highest potential for quakes"

The preceding quote clearly displays Mr, Berkland's extreme excitement and amazement at the upcoming April 6-14 and May 4-11, "seismic windows".

Furthermore, during our phone interview, Mr.Berkland expressed that the two above seismic windows are episodes that he has never seen in his decades long career nor aware of any having ever occurred.

Mr.Berkland's observation "that the highest tides do not necessarily stimulate the highest magnitude quakes, but, in my view, the highest potential for quakes" may support that the April 6-14th window may be still be as likely a date as the May 4-11 window.

Stunningly, the never seen before events of the May 4-11 seismic window, fall during God's appointed Second Passover, on May 6, 2012

In the Book of Numbers, God outlined a Second Passover for those unable to observe the first Passover.

Anyone who was "unclean" due to contact with death or who was on a far-away journey at the time of the Passover offering on the 14th of Nisan ( April 6th of this year), would then offer the sacrificial lamb one month later, on the 14th of Iyar, (May 6th of this year).

The odds that both of Mr. Berkland's seismic windows would correlate perfectly with the "windows" of BOTH Passovers, in conjunction with all the substantiating data covered in Part 1 and Part 2, is nothing less than phenomenal!

During our conversation, Mr. Berkland informed me that his method of predicting seismic activity included the observation of abnormal animal behavior such as beaching of marine life.

Interestingly, this past week, there has reported the beaching of hundreds of dolphins in Peru as well as  in Cape Cod off the East Coast of America:

http://www.peruthisweek.com/news-1868-Over-3-thousand-dead-dolphins-found-on-beaches-in-northern-Peru/

http://www.globalanimal.org/2012/02/07/dolphin-strandings-pass-annual-average-in-a-month/65746/

In addition, the mysterious loud noises being heard all around the globe are becoming more widespread and  are now being reported from areas all across the globe.



These well documented, strange noises ought to be like warning bells clanging that something is greatly amiss!

In fact, it appears that these startling audio disturbances in our atmosphere may actually be harbingers of a coming great quake.

They could be the sounds of the tectonic plates shifting or being tugged by the recently escalating and explosive geothermal activity.

Little is being reported about the current spate of unprecedented, increasing volcanic awakenings and eruptions:

http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/erupting_volcanoes.html

This uptick in volcanic activity would definitely have the propensity to stimulate seismic activity.

Earthquakes and volcanoes are interrelated as the molten rock of volcanoes is the foundation for the tectonic plates.

It is easy to see how agitation and instability from the expanding volcanic action could lead to a weakening of the integrity of the Earth's tectonic plates. 

Therefore, this has great potential of leading up to a massive quake(s).

As such, we may be witnessing the build up to the " Great Earthquake" of the Sixth Seal; which many believe to be the event coinciding with a pre-wrath Rapture.

As previously covered in Part 1 and Part 2, all signs are pointing to this Passover week, 2012, to usher in the the Great Tribulation, which is the wrath of God on the lukewarm and lost.

As such, a Sixth Seal/pre-wrath Rapture may be in line, to precede the coming wrath.

In my humble opinion, these ever increasing volcanic awakenings may actually be Hell enlarging itself for the massive influx of souls that will soon enter during the soon coming Tribulation:

"Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it." Isaiah 5:14

Due to all the above factors, there may be a massive earthquake pending. This "great earthquake" may occur during this coming Passover week, or else on Second Passover.

Remember both of these time frames are within Jim Berkland's "seismic windows".

There is a distinct possibility that America's West Coast could be the epicenter. According to the 188 day cycle, all corresponding quakes appear to be advancing systematically around the ring of fire. 

Alaska or the West Coast would be next area, according to this pattern.

The undeniable data appears to show that Great Tribulation/Wrath is about to commence.

Further facts appear to be pointing to a possibility that the "great earthquake" of the Sixth Seal may be looming on the horizon. 

"And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood" (Rev. 6.12)

As we approach Passover Week, may we all take heed the commands God gave to us regarding this appointed Feast of His.  Imperative to note is the fact that "leaven" represents sin.

Thus, the preparations of removing and keeping the leaven out, before as well as during the Passover, signals us to examine and ready ourselves.

It also alerts us to cautiously keep leaven/sin out of our lives during the Passover season.

Exodus 12:19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses.For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses.

These instructions to remove the leaven/sin from our lives may be purposeful-to prepare us for His return during a Passover.

Scripture also warns us to be thoroughly prepared and ready to depart at Passover:

"And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover." Exodus 12:11

Therefore, may we all seek to remove all leaven/sin from our hearts and lives, so we can be ready to leave, hastily, at a moment's notice, "in the twinkling of an eye"

 "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 1 Corinthians 15:52

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PASTORS IN THESE LAST DAYS

Dear Church Pastors:

What a precarious position you may be placing yourself AND many others in.

Many leaders appear to be refusing to sound the alarm that we are in the end times, out of concern that  many church attendees may disapprove of the "negativity".

The pastors fear that any perceived "negativity" by churchgoers may cause church attendance to dwindle and thus, income to drop.

This mindset, focused on materialism, may have eternal consequences for the many in front of, as well as behind the church podiums.

The flocks are looking to their shepherds to guide and direct them. Most laypeople (the flock), are not watching as commanded themselves.

They assume that their clergymen, being seminary-trained, steeped in Bible degrees/knowledge, are doing the watching for them.

They naturally are presuming that their leaders are alert and diligently watching for the last days signals given to us by Yeshua.

Therefore, many occupying the pews are depending entirely on those behind the pulpits to warn them of the signs of the times.

The situation, wherein most pulpits are eerily silent about the last days, is primarily because the modern day Church has evolved into a business, instead of a ministry.

There again are moneychangers where there is instead supposed to be the sharing of the FREE gift of eternal salvation.

Spreading the Good News was NEVER supposed to be a paid profession for a reason. It turns many a minister of the Gospel into something akin to a politician, trying to garner votes.

Often, it morphs the ministry into a matter of popularity and telling people whatever they want to hear, in order to profit the man.

Being a paid minister of the Gospel makes one dependent on the salary afforded to them by the Church. Of course, maintaining the big business of today's churches are sustained only through contributions of congregants.

Church leaders therefore are forced to keep the contributions flowing, in order to maintain their lifestyle/support their family.

This need has enticed many pastors to stick to keeping the message "fluffy", entertaining and bursting with sunshine.

Just as in the case of politicians, it is important to uplift the people and only tell them what "tickles their ears", if they want the people's continued attendance, along with the accompanying continued cash flow.

"A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear." 2 Timothy 4:3

This need for maintaining a regularity in financial support has lead to where a majority of pastors are totally negligent in watching, let alone warning, about the rapidly advancing fulfillment of last days Bible prophecy.

Those who have been entrusted with the welfare of the flocks need to remember that by assuming the role as leaders/teachers, that they will be judged more severely:
 
"My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the severer judgment." James 3:1

God, in His omnipotence, seeing the end from the beginning, knew that in these last days that the Church at large, would evolve into a business. 

"Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish." Isaiah 46:10

As a result, God has called laypeople to be watchmen on the wall, to stand in the stead for the leaders of the churches; who have chosen to protect their family incomes instead of spiritually protecting their flocks.

These watchmen come from all walks of life and are primarily composed of laypeople. Since they are not trained pastors, most of the flock usually see the watchmen as either inept or incapable. Oftentimes, they even view the watchmen as eccentric and ostracizable.

Any of these perspectives cause the people in the pews to virtually ignore the watchmen and their warnings.

As we draw yet closer to the prophesied Time of Jacob's Trouble/Tribulation and the Rapture of the readied Bride, God appears to be calling even more watchmen in, to man the walls for the last watches.

There are watchmen of all genders, races and nationalities now sounding the alarm all over the internet.

From Facebook and Youtube to individual websites and Rapture based message boards, the clarion call can be heard all over the world wide web.

God loves His people so deeply that He commanded us to watch for the plethora of signs that He foretold that would signal the end of the age.

It is up to each believer to choose to either heed, or to ignore, the watchmen's cries of alarm.

According to Ezekiel, obedient watchmen will not be held accountable for the choices of those warned.

However, those in the pulpits, shepherding the flocks, will be held accountable for the blood of those in their care, if they choose to not blow the trumpet of warning.
 
"But if the watchman sees the sword come, and blows not the trumpet, and the people are not warned; if the sword comes, and takes any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand." Ezekiel 33:6

Thus, the negligent leaders behind the lecterns are not only heaping more severe judgment upon themselves, but also leaving many in their congregations woefully unprepared.

If all pastors were faithfully warning their flocks, their flocks would be fully aware of the nearness of the coming of the Lord. Being convinced and aware, these believers would in turn, start sounding the alarm themselves.

Eventually, the internet would be all abuzz with warnings by all believers that we are at the end of the age. Even non-believers would become aware that all the increasing abnormalcy on the planet is actually  Biblical prophecy coming to pass.

Many of the lost would be saved and the lukewarm would be readied.

Due to all the preceding factors, it is imperative that all ministers of the Gospel realize that by disobeying the Lord's command to watch, a multitude of souls are at stake (including their own).

THE MANY REASONS WHY THE LORD'S FEAST DAY OF ROSH HASAHANAH, REPRESENTS THE RAPTURE

The first thing that is imperative to realize is that God's feast days that He outlined in the Torah, represent God's plan of redemption, compromising both His first and second coming. 

 

 Note that there are seven Levitical  feast days outlined by God. The number seven represents completion and is God's perfect number.

 

Please see the following website for an elaboration on God's perfect number being the number, 7 :

http://www.angelfire.com/az/rainbowbridge/seven.html

Jesus has already fulfilled all the Spring Feast days with His first coming.

 

The upcoming Fall feast days represent the Rapture, His Second Coming and the Millennial period. 


The next feast day to be fulfilled would be the first Fall festival, Rosh Hashanah.

It is important to remember that the feast days are NOT just Jewish feast days but are God's feast days. In the book of Leviticus, God stressed that they are HIS feast days. 

Leviticus 23: 

1The Lord said to Moses, 2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. 

So, the festival (feast) days belong to the Lord Himself. His followers, Jew and Gentile are to keep them. 

 

If the Church had been observing God's feast days then they would have realized that His return for His own would come one Rosh Hashanah/ Yom Teruah.

 

It is noteworthy to realize that Rosh Hashanah has several different titles, all referring to the same festival.

 

It is also known as Yom Teruah,or the Feast of Trumpets. These titles, as well as other names for this important festival, will be used interchangeably throughout this entry. 

 

Yom Teruah is the only one of God's feast days that starts on the sighting of the new moon. 

 

The Jewish idiom for God's feast day of Yom Teruah, is the feast "of which no man knows the day or the hour". 

 

Due to the dispersion of the Jewish people from their land in ancient days, the feast of the new moon/Yom Teruah could have been over before word of the sighting of the new moon in Jerusalem, spread to those who were dispersed in Babylon.

 

Therefore, Rosh Hashanah was celebrated as a two day festival but recognized as one long day. It is the only feast day that begins at the sighting of the new moon by two witnesses in Jerusalem. 

 

Because of this, no one could know for certain, beforehand, the day or hour of the beginning of the feast of Yom Teruah. 

 

Bear in mind that Yeshua (Jesus)was Jewish, speaking to His Jewish disciples when He used this well known Jewish idiom: 

 

Matt. 24: 36“ No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.

Just as in American culture, one would know that if someone informed them that they would visit them on "Turkey Day'" that they were indicating Thanksgiving. 

 

 In the same manner, the Scripture indicates that our Jewish Savior was referring to the well known 2 day feast of Yom Teruah/"on a day or hour that no man knows". This idiom is also indicates how this feast is representative of the Jewish Wedding. 

 

"Of that day or hour no man knows, but my Father only" is the expression used by a Jewish groom when asked when he will go and steal away his bride "like a thief in the night".

 

1 Thessalonians 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

 

The Jewish groom (representing Jesus) goes away to prepare a place for his bride. When preparations on the bridal chamber are completed, the father of the groom (representing our Heavenly Father)tells his son it is time to fetch his bride.

 

The Feast of Trumpets is also known as the "wedding of the Messiah", and therefore, the expression about "not knowing the day or the hour" again is shown to refer to the Jewish wedding custom in relation to this feast.

 

Believers are the Bride of Christ for whom the Bridegroom, Yeshua, (Jesus) will one day come to take to His Father's House, at the time of the Rapture.

 

Therefore, it is clear that the Rapture must take place on a Feast of Trumpets/the wedding of the Messiah.

 

Remember Jesus's assurance to us, His Bride:

Matthew 14:1“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2There is more than enough room in my Father’s home.^a If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?^b 3When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.

 

Thus, it can easily be seen how this feast day represents the Rapture, as the Bride of Christ, we are caught up in the air to be with the Lord and to attend the marriage supper of the Lamb.

The title, Yom Teruah, means Day of Trumpets in Hebrew. There is the blowing of 100 shofar blasts towards the very end of the celebration of this feast. 

The one hundredth and last blast is called "THE LAST TRUMP".  

Just as Jesus was Jewish speaking to a Jewish audience so was Paul, as a Jew, relating the well known Jewish name for the last shofar blast blown ending the Feast of Trumpets/Yom Teruah:

 

1 Corinthians 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

  

On The Feast of Trumpets, the challah, or special bread, is baked into the shape of a circle, representing a crown.

It is on this day that the coronation of the King is to occur and the King which we know to be Yeshua Ha Mashiach, is to be enthroned on this festival/feast day. The shofar is blown during the coronation of a king. 

 As such, it can be seen that one day, on a Yom Teruah, (which means the "day of blowing") that the shofars will be blown announcing the coronation of King Jesus!

 

 The thirty days prior to Yom Teruah are the month of Elul. Daily during this month, leading up to Rosh Hashanah, we are supposed to reflect on our lives because God's judgment is coming on Rosh Hashanah.

 

The message from Elul 1 to Rosh Hashanah is clear: Repent before Rosh Hashanah. Don’t wait until after Rosh Hashanah, or you will find yourself in the Days of Awe.

The Days of Awe are the seven days in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur/Day of Atonement.

These 7 days represent the 7 year Tribulation period and The Day of Atonement represents the Second Coming of Jesus.




God is so loving and merciful that He gave us each year, 30 days to search our hearts and repent prior to what one year will be the Rapture on a Yom Teruah.

Another name for Rosh Hashanah is Yom HaDin which means Day of Judgment. The Jewish people believe that on Rosh Hashanah the"books” are opened in heaven. 

There are three books opened - that of life, for those whose works had been good; another of death, for those who had been thoroughly evil; and a third, intermediate.

Those classified as intermediate are those whose case will be decided on the Day of Atonement (seven days after Rosh Hoshanna on Yom Kippur).

The delay is granted for true repentance, which without, their names would be finally entered, into the book of of death. 



For those who truly repent and forgive others, their names will be entered into the book of Life.

The opening of the books on Rosh Hashanah signifies the judgment of mankind wherein the righteous will be taken in the Rapture and the intermediates and wicked will be left behind to face the 7 year Tribulation. 

The intermediates are those who Jesus called lukewarm and warned He would "vomit" them out of His mouth. 

Revelation 3:15-17

¹⁵ “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. ¹⁶ So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,^[a] I will vomit you out of My mouth. 

Recognizing this, all professing Christians need to make sure their focus is on the things of God instead of the world:

Revelation 3: 17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked

Rosh Hashanah is also known as Yom HaKeseh (Day of the Hiding or Hidden Day) which one may translate into the raptured Bride of Christ being "hidden" in Heaven during the cataclysmic events of the 7 year Tribulation (correlating with the 7 days of Awe).

One of the reasons for blowing the shofar is to proclaim the resurrection of the dead. Jewish thought is that the resurrection of the dead will take place on a Rosh Hashanah. 

Followers of Christ realize that the Rapture is indeed the day of the Resurrection of the dead in Christ. 

In addition, this feast  is also known as the Day of the Awakening Blast or The Day of the Awakening Shout.

1 Thes 4:15-18 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words. 

The blast of the shofar and the shout of the Lord will one day awaken those who now sleep.


With the dead in Christ, those who are alive and truly belong to the risen Lord, will be "caught up together with them into the clouds" into glorified bodies and everlasting life.

Also, the gates of Heaven are understood to be opened on Rosh Hashanah.  


As such, it is further evidence that the Rapture of the believers in Christ will take place on a Rosh Hashanah when the gates of Heaven are open, in which we may enter in.

The time of sorrows (birth pains) have been steadily growing stronger and closer together just as Jesus prophesied they would as the time of the end drew near.

 Matthew 24:⁶And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

 ⁷For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

 ⁸All these are the beginning of sorrows.

Therefore, we can be able to recognize how close to the end we are on God's prophetic timeline. 

The hour is growing late. We are at the end of the age and our Lord is returning. 

May all realize that it is time to shift our focus from the things of the temporal to eternity.

May we all repent, forgive others and give the God of Heaven the priority that He deserves!

DO THESE EARTHQUAKES MEAN THAT WE ARE AT THE END OF THE WORLD?

The continuing earthquakes which are escalating both in frequency and magnitude, all across the globe, are indeed an indicator that we are in the last days. 

When the disciples of Jesus inquired of Him:

“...when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”Matthew 24:3

Jesus answered them:  

"...Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.⁷ Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. ⁸ All these are the beginning of birth pains."~Matthew 24:6-8

It is important to realize that when Jesus prophesied that there would be "earthquakes in various places" that there was no way to ascertain such information. 

There was no technology to gauge seismic activity and certainly no way to access news of quakes "in divers/various places".

At that time, the only earthquake activity noted by the inhabitants of the planet Earth, would be those tremors directly "under one's feet". 

Therefore, this end times prophecy by Yeshua, points directly to our modern, technologically advanced society. 

Only today do we have the capability of detecting seismic activity deep within the earth and to technology to share this information worldwide.

As such, the sheer fact that we can not only detect, but also communicate the results of seismic activity; all across the globe, evidences fulfillment of this prophecy.

 Additionally, Jesus told His disciples that at the "end of the age" that all the signs He gave in Luke 24 would be as "birth pains".

Note that as a woman labors to give birth, the birth pains increase in frequency, duration and intensity. Therefore, the signs given by Yeshua would escalate just as labor pains do during the birthing process.

The fact that global seismic activity has indeed increased in frequency and intensity with larger quakes occurring closer together, is the literal fulfillment of this prophecy correlating with birth pains.

Please note that many authorities may try to wave these alarming quakes off, passing them off as normal; as if there has been no increase in recent decades. 

This minimization is a contrived effort by the scientific community to deceive the population, in order to not frighten and panic the "sheeple".

Often, they also refer to any new quakes as just "aftershocks". This terminology lessens the blow somewhat and makes the incredible increase in earthquakes not quite as shocking.

As outlined below, the truth is that there has been an overall 1500% increase in 7.0 or greater earthquakes world-wide over the past 30 years (from 1980-2010): 

From 1980 to 1990 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater was 8.

From 1991 to 2000 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater was 33.

From 2001 to 2010 the number of earthquakes with a 7.0 or greater was…121!

Please note that there have been several earthquakes this year that registered at 7.0 or greater initially and afterward,were downgraded to 6.8's by the United States Geological Service (USGS). 

Therefore, it appears suspect that this may be a concerted effort to lower the alarming statistics for quakes magnitude 7.0 or greater.

The below seismic events are the three quakes that were suspiciously downgraded:

Initially reported as a 7.1, the January 2, 2011 Chile quake was later downgraded to a 6.8:

On March 24, 2011 the Myanmar seismic activity was actually reported as TWO, back to back, 7.0 quakes (less than a minute apart). These two were later downgraded to just one 6.8 quake.

From 2000-2008 there was an average of thirteen 7.0 or greater quakes annually.

In 2009, the number of earthquakes 7.0 or greater was 16.

In 2010, the number of earthquakes 7.0 or greater was 21.

In 2011, for just the first three months, there have been a total of 7. (or a total of TEN including the three downgraded quakes.)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquakes_in_2011

If the mounting pace continues, there would be at least twenty-eight 7.0 or greater quakes by the end of the year. 

If the three downgraded quakes were included, it would amount to at least FORTY 7.0 or greater quakes by the end of 2011.

As such, only a quarter into the year of  2011, we are almost halfway to the full amount of 2010's 7.0 or greater quakes for the entire year.

These are staggering statistics that ought to make everyone "sit up and take notice".

Factoring in the astonishing fact that the 9.1 earthquake in Japan is the most massive quake ever reported in recorded history, it becomes increasingly clear that we are seeing the fulfillment of the prophetic words of Jesus; regarding the end of the age and of His coming.

 As we draw closer and closer to the return of Yeshua; we can expect the "birthing pains" of escalating earthquake activity to also draw closer together.

The Lord is mercifully giving mankind these blaring warning signs that we are in the last days. 

God is alerting us that it is time to prepare ourselves for the return of Yeshua. His coming is nearing for those who belong to Him, prior to the wrath of God being unleashed upon an unrepentant world.

May we all be wise and heed these warning signals. It is time to repent of our sins and seek Jesus as Lord and Savior; elevating things eternal above the things of this world.

The hour is drawing late and we need to give God the priority He demands and deserves. We need to detach ourselves from the many allures of the world and draw nigh to God.

It is soon coming a time when all these earthly distractions, coveted by so many, will instantly vanish and be replaced by an avalanche of disaster, destruction and consuming fear.

May we therefore break free from the snares of worldly seductions and give God and His Kingdom our total devotion and obey His command to watch and pray:

"And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting (partying, pursuing pleasure), and drunkenness, AND CARES OF THIS LIFE, and so that day come upon you unawares, for as a SNARE (TRAP) shall it come on all them who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 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 (Jesus)."~Luke 21:

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:

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.

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!
