SATAN'S VERY SUCCESSFUL LIE POINTS TO THE END OF THE AGE

In the study of Eschatology, also known as Bible prophecy, it is well accepted that the Rapture (the removal of those who truly belong to the Lord Jesus Christ prior to the calamities of the Tribulation period) is illustrated by the removal of Noah's family right before the Flood.

It is also typified by Lot's family being removed immediately prior to the fire and brimstone raining down, which decimated the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Both of these examples of the removal of the righteous prior to God's righteous wrath being unleashed, are pictures of the Rapture of the Bride of Christ.

Important to note is that in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, as well as in the days of Noah, sexual perversion was rampant and the people were shameless and proud of their unnatural sexual exploits which God calls "detestable".

Leviticus 18:22 - "Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable."

In fact, Jesus forewarned us that in the days before His return it will be as in the days of Noah:

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. “For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark"

According to Rabbi Aryeh Spero, the "Talmud's (early Jewish teaching)writings reveal that "before the Flood people started to write marriage contracts between men, in other words, homosexual 'marriage,'which is more than homosexual activity – it's giving an official state stamp of approval, a sanctification … of homosexual partnership." 

"In fact, he said, 'the writings indicated that it wasn't even so much the 'straw that broke the camel's back,' but that the sin in and of itself is so contrary to why God created the world, so contrary to the order of God's nature, that God said then and there 'I have to start all over … to annihilate the world and start from the beginning. …' "

"Even in ancient Greece they did not write marriage contracts between men. There was homosexuality, and it was wrong, but there was not an official 'blessed' policy. … Marriage is 'sanctification' (not simply a partnership)."

He said to confer the title of sanctification and holiness upon this behavior is 'probably one of the greatest sins of all that one does against God's plan for this world.' "

 How same-sex marriage points to end of the world http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=64769#ixzz1OWsZ9IEU

Therefore the "marrying and giving in marriage" "as in Noah's Day" that Jesus referred to as signaling the end of the age, appears to be manifesting itself.

We are now seeing an increased push for the acceptance of homosexual behavior in our modern day society.

This push to make what God calls an abomination seem normal has succeeded to the point where same sex marriage has now even been legalized in several states and countries.

In fact, as president of the United States, Barak Obama has recognized Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) pride month, annually since he took office:

"Obama Declares June Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month"

http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2011/05/31/obama-declares-june-lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender-pride-month

It may sound curious as to why any human would declare PRIDE in the practicing of a deviation from normal; a deviation that actually caused the G-d of creation to send the Flood and to annihilate Sodom and Gomorrah to the point that the region is now the lowest place on Earth.

However, when we research, we find that PRIDE is the root of all sin and the express reason that Lucifer, Satan, was cast out of Heaven.

If Satan, the enemy of mankind, can delude people into actually being proud of sinful rebellion against God and His law; then he is more likely to successfully win their souls to spending eternity in hell with him, when he is cast into the lake of fire.

When there is pride in sin, then repentance is rare. The enemy is well aware of this. That is why he continues to delude and foster "pride" in this deviant, sinful behavior.

This age old plan by the enemy is fast gaining ground. The Federal Reserve Bank this past week was "proudly" displaying the rainbow flag beneath the American flag. 

  

"Federal Reserve bank flies the rainbow flag"

http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=306945

The rainbow is a symbol which has been adopted to represent homosexuality. After the flood of Noah, the rainbow was given by God as His promise to mankind to never again flood the earth.

^{Genesis 9:12} And God said: “This is the sign of the covenant which I make between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: ¹³ I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

The fact that the rainbow has been chosen to represent the very purpose for which the earth had to be flooded to begin with, exposes Lucifer's hand. 

Satan, in his pride, always tries to mock God. The rainbow symbol is mocking the rainbow Covenant made by God to man after the Flood.

Interestingly the homosexual rainbow has six colors and the true rainbow, given by God, has seven. 

Notable is the fact that number six, as in the well known 666 of the antichrist, is associated with Satan and the number seven is God's number of completeness and perfection.

Even the very order of God's created nature proves that homosexuality is wrong. He made all living creature to procreate.


In fact, after the flood, God instructed Moses and his sons to "be fruitful and multiply":

Genesis 9:¹ Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth.

 

The mere fact that homosexuals cannot reproduce should evidence that this is abnormal and deviant behavior that should elicit shame and not pride. 

Since homosexuals cannot reproduce, they recruit. This is what is one of the driving forces of the "gay pride" movement. They try to force homosexuality as "normal" and into the limelight in order to recruit.

Satan hates humans because we are made in God's image. The more humans that deviate into homosexual behavior the less amount of humans there will be as homosexuals, whose behavior is contrary to what God intended for His creation, cannot reproduce.

Genesis 9:6 "...for in the image of God has God made mankind."

Homosexuality thus leads to less human beings and this is why Satan deludes people into thinking it is normal and something to be "proud" of, due to his hatred of mankind.

Also, to the devil's satisfaction, homosexuality means more human company for him in hell.

Those who practice this sin or any other unrepentant sinful lifestyle will descend into the pit and be in torment for eternity.

Satan is the Father of Lies and this is one of his favorites that he is trying to propagate. His ultimate goal is to make this sin accepted as "normal" so as to tempt more humans into practicing it.

Sadly, there are actually churches that call themselves "Christian" which promote homosexuality as both normal and acceptable.

The apostate leaders of these churches convey that since God is a God of  love, He loves homosexuals for who they are. God does love homosexuals, just as He loves all sinners.

However, in the same vein, He cannot condone and wink at their unrepentant sin just as He cannot with any type of sin that continues unabated.

These blasphemers fail to convey to their deluded church members the truth: that God is also a God of righteousness judgment, who cannot allow sin in His Holy presence.

Homosexuality is breaking God's law and thus is a sin. Those who practice it are therefore living a lifestyle of continuous sin.

Just like any other unrepentant sinners, if homosexuals die in their sin, they cannot be allowed into Heaven,into God's Holy presence.

Therefore, to the enemy of men's souls, his escalating the promotion of gay PRIDE equates to LESS humans born on earth and MORE humans being cast into hell!

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 - "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."

OBAMA'S INCITEMENT MAY HEAT THE MIDEAST TO ITS BOILING POINT!

Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, was scheduled to travel to Washington to meet with President Obama on May 20, 2011.

Shockingly and to the utter disbelief and dismay of many, Obama took it upon himself to present a major televised speech outlining his own Mideast policy, the day before Netanyahu's scheduled arrival.

The prematurity of Obama's Mideast presentation, preceding these two leaders' scheduled meeting about the exact subject matter, broke all foreign relations protocol.

This was a display to all the world of Obama's disrespectful attitude towards Israel and her leader, showing that Obama/America is no longer a friend of Israel.

As if that fact alone wasn't disturbing, the malicious content of Obama's self-proclaimed "Middle East Speech" evidenced his strong anti-Israel sentiment as his below linked speech was ridden with contempt for Israel's safety.

http://www.theroot.com/buzz/transcript-obamas-middle-east-speech

In essence, Obama propagated the Palestinian myth in his speech.

Obama intonated that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian land when he referred to Israel's "permanent occupation":

 "The dream of a Jewish and democratic state cannot be fulfilled with permanent occupation."

In saying this, Obama stood with the Arabs against Israel, accusing the nation of Israel to be "occupiers" as if the land is not theirs.

Furthermore, Obama's assertion  that Israel should return to pre-1967 borders was clearly absurd and unthinkable. 

"The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states."

As a sitting American president, this suggestion that Israel return to the pre-1967 borders is ludicrous.

Certainly the president is geopolitically aware that such a move would be asking Israel to commit national suicide.

Many have been perplexed as to why President Obama would unveil such an unrealistic Mideast peace plan; so blatantly against Israel's best interests, just prior to Prime Minister Netanyahu's visit.

Obama's goal was to send a clear message to the enemies of Israel.

That message was that there will never be any way, that any political entity, including America, the most powerful nation on Earth, to "impose peace"(aka FORCE Israel to give away G-d's Covenant land).

"Ultimately, it is up to Israelis and Palestinians to take action. No peace can be imposed upon them; nor can endless delay make the problem go away." 

Obama was also purposefully prodding and trying to incite Israel's enemies by his above referral to an"endless delay". 

Basically, he was trying to convey to Israel's many enemies in the Islamic community, that Israel will only continue to delay endlessly and thus NEVER give up her land to them.

The answer regarding Obama's ulterior motives behind the prematurity and content of his Mideast Speech is therefore quite obvious.

Even the title of his speech, "A Moment of Opportunity"was telling as to his goal. 

Obama was sending messages to the Muslim world that this is their "moment of opportunity" to seize the land of Israel by force.

He made it clear that Israel will never give up her land willingly and there is nobody who can force her to.

Along with these incitations, Obama purposefully inserted the below verbiage "by itself" to alert the Arab nations that his plans, as president of the United States, was to NOT assist in the defense of Israel should they decide to attack Israel.

"As for security, every state has the right to self-defense, and Israel must be able to defend itself -- by itself -- against any threat."

Therefore, in Obama's exact words: "Israel must be able to defend itself -- by itself " meant just that. 

His direct message to the Muslim world is that if they choose to attack that Israel will go it alone, without America's aid.

In conclusion, Obama chose his words carefully as his goal was to incite the enemies of Israel to seize their "moment of opportunity".

He deliberately relayed a message to them that Israel NEVER("endless delay") plans to give up her G-d given land.

Obama also reminded them that there is no global authority that can force her to do so ("No peace can be imposed upon them")

Therefore, he sent them clear indications that the only way they will be able to have Israel's land, is if they take it by force.

Obama further encouraged them to come against Israel by letting it be known that he plans for America to abandon Israel and not come to her defense.

So, the president of the United States told the enemies of Israel to feel free and unimpeded to attack Israel because America will sit on the sidelines as Israel will "have defend itself -- by itself". 

Lastly, Obama's directives and incitements were also in order to get P.M. Netanyahu to "show his hand".

Obama knows that Israel can never recede back to non-defensible borders, pre-1967.

He intentionally set up Netanyahu to have to adamantly counter this.

In counter statements, Netanyahu made it boldly clear that going back to pre 1967 indefensible borders was never going to happen.

This "out in the open" refusal by Netanyahu is just what Obama desired. 

This achieved Obama's goal which was to show the Palestinians and their now cohorts, Hamas, that Israel's "defiant"stance regarding her Covenant land is "endless".

Obama has succeeded in his goal as evidenced by a spokesman for Fatah's/the Palestinians' response of accusing Israel of declaring war:

"Fatah: "Netanyahu's speech was a declaration of war"

"This is not a speech but a declaration of war on the Palestinians, Hamas, Iran and Lebanon. What we heard from Netanyahu were only threats of war. Netanyahu did not offer anything new on the issue of refugees, Jerusalem and the withdrawal from settlements and withdrawal to the 67 borders."

http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2011/05/fatah-netanyahus-speech-was-declaration.html

This was all a clever ploy by Obama to bring the Mideast situation "to a head" and to incite and to encourage Israel's enemies to come against her without fear of "big brother",America,intervening to help and protect her.

This is all just adding heat to the fire of the volatile Mideast situation.

The kettle is close to boiling and will soon boil over into the prophesied Psalm 83 War.

Please see previous entry for details of this upcoming end times war:

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

All who belong to the G-d of Israel need to be in vigilant prayer for Israel's protection as it is not a matter of if, but when!

NON-STOP EARTHQUAKES CONTINUE UNABATED!

As per the following animated map, Japan continues to experience non-stop earthquakes since the massive, never before recorded 9.1 quake, more than a month ago. 

http://www.japanquakemap.com/

These are more evidence of the escalating birth pains of earthquakes, just as Jesus prophesied for the end of the age:

"...there will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains." Mark 13:8

The next link is to yet a second map of non-stop earthquake activity:

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

In Christchurch, New Zealand, quake activity has been continuing for almost SEVEN and a HALF MONTHS now. 

Please see the following entries for the miraculous details surrounding the initial Christchurch earthquake of September 2010, as well as the recent deadly quake back in late February of this year.

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

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/02/christchurch-earthquake-sending-yet.html

It is important to note that our high tech society has had access to sensitive seismographs for many years now.

Therefore, the usual excuse that this all is just " normal' but the only difference is that now we have the technology to detect it", doesn't fly.

So, let it be clear that this incessant seismic activity is any thing but normal. 

For earthquake statistics that definitely prove that the seismic activity is indeed increasing, please see the following entry: 

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/04/do-these-earthquakes-mean-that-we-are.html

Oddly though, as the seismic "birth pains"continue to escalate; it almost appears as though mankind is quickly being desensitized to the point where ABNORMAL and bizarre is somehow being viewed as the new NORMAL!

Please view the below video which shows just how very abnormal our world is becoming. 

Never before has the earth seemed to breathe and actually sway as the very ground beneath the feet of the people of Japan now is. 

May blinded eyes be opened to the fact that the world is unraveling before us and that the end of the age is here!

We are soon approaching the coming Tribulation period wherein ABNORMAL will truly be the "NORM".

It is time to repent and give God the glory and devotion He deserves; while releasing our grips on the things of this world, which are fast fading into an unrecognizable state.

The Lord Jesus is soon coming in the Rapture, for His who are ready and "love not the world or anything in it".

1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things [that are] in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

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!

http://www.theignorantfishermen.com/2010/07/sign-that-day-of-lord-is-at-hand.html

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:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/02/chile-earthquake-2011_n_803370.html

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.

http://www.nowpublic.com/environment/myanmar-earthquake-2011-two-7-0-quakes-hits-burma-2770219.html

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:

MIDDLE EAST UPRISINGS-WILL THEY TURN AGAINST ISRAEL??

Modern day Israel has been surrounded by her multitude of massive Arab enemies for many years now. 

However, at this time, we are seeing the beginning fulfillment of today's David and Goliath; as the waves of violence and revolt ripple across Northern Africa and the Mideast.

Tiny Israel,who only wants to live in peace, is almost being boxed in by these many Arab enemies whose countries are seething with unrest and uprising.

Uppermost in Israel's mind is bound to be the fact that there is an everlasting hatred and vendetta held against them by their Arab neighbors. 

It is important to note that these vicious enemies of Israel have tried to annihilate them in SEVEN different wars since their initial  miraculous inception in 1948. 

To this day, these same Goliaths, with their venomous hatred,continue to spout war rhetoric; often threatening the extermination of Israel. 

These advancing, widespread uprisings blazing across the region may serve to awaken the ancient hatred; thereby fomenting the aggression and focusing these insurgents' bellicosity towards their common archenemy, Israel.

The progressive upheaval does appear to inciting Islamic violence against Israel.

Just last week, after a long period of relative calm, violent atrocities by Israel's foe, Hamas, were committed against Israel's civilian population.

Please see the following entry for details regarding these inhumane attacks: 

http://theworldisshaking.blogspot.com/2011/03/are-they-trying-to-instigate-psalm-war.html

The excerpts from the following article define the many rationales for the legitimate concerns, regarding the safety of Israel, in relation to the spreading insurrection across the Middle East:

 "As anti-government unrest continues to ripple across the Middle East, many in Israel are worried that changes in the Arab world could lead to renewed hostilities against them.

But there are also concerns that anti-Israel opposition groups, including the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, might gain a larger voice in Egyptian decision-making and that unrest in the Arab world could undermine Jordan's stability.

It's not clear whether Egypt's new government will be willing or able to play a similar role. Hamas is the Gaza branch of the Muslim brotherhood and could gain strength if their Egyptian brethren rise to power.

'Sooner or later, the Arab revolt will reach (the Palestinians),' wrote columnist Ari Shavit in the Haaretz newspaper. He said the Palestinians were influenced by 'the trauma of Hamas' rise in the Gaza Strip, relative prosperity in the West Bank and the expectation of statehood materializing within months. If that expectation is disappointed, 'a political tsunami' will result, he predicted."

 http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/03/26/israel-warily-eyes-middle-east-uprisings/#ixzz1HuWbVE2g

The escalation of the "kingdom against kingdom"(civil unrest within a nation) rippling across the Middle East are the advancing birth pains prophesied by Jesus, Yeshua Ha Mashiach,that would point to the end of the age. 

The fruition of His prophecy is well illustrated in this animated map; which provides the visual proof of how tiny Israel is surrounded by her immense and vast Islamic enemies who are in raging turmoil, that is accelerating by the moment!!

 http://www.slate.com/id/2288928/

^{Matthew 24: 6} You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. 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.

We need to be in fervent prayer for the children of Israel. It is not a matter of "IF" but "WHEN" their enemies will once again attempt to eradicate God's chosen people and "WHEN" is getting very close!

ARE THEY TRYING TO INSTIGATE THE PSALM 83 WAR??

Below is a breakdown, from newest to oldest, of the recent onslaught of attacks on Israel by her neighbors.

These terrorist attacks have recently begun, after a long period of relative peace in Israel.

Notice the attacks appear to be steadily increasing:

"An explosive device was discovered on a road in Haifa late Thursday night. Police bomb sappers neutralized the bomb" 

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213807

 "Security forces arrested two Palestinians found carrying four pipe bombs on Friday morning at a roadblock near Nablus."

 http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213817

"Six mortar shells fired from the Gaza Strip landed in open fields in the Eshkol Regional Council on Thursday evening."

 http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213748

"As missile fire from the Gaza Strip escalated on Thursday, the IDF is preparing for the possible deployment of the Iron Dome counter-rocket defense system along Israel’s border with Gaza."

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213742

"A bomb exploded at a crowded bus stop Wednesday in central Jerusalem, killing one woman and wounding 38 in what appeared to be the first militant attack in the city in several years. 

 

The blast could be heard throughout Jerusalem and blew out the windows of two crowded buses." 

 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42228970/ns/world_news-mideastn_africa/

"Israel strikes Gaza after massive mortar barrage on south.

Hamas claims responsibility for 10 of the more than 50 mortars fired on southern Israel earlier in day; Gaza medics say five Hamas officers and boy injured in Israeli air strike."

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-strikes-gaza-after-massive-mortar-barrage-on-south-1.350171  

The following analysis of the rationales for these escalating terror attacks, put forth by a learned watchman friend of mine, Shanthi Balasuriyar, is very plausible:

"  Maybe that is why they have put up the Palestinians to start something in Israel to distract the protesters in their respective countries. Jordan, Syria, Bahrain, Saudi are all facing unrest and what better ploy than to distract the people... towards Israel."

"   Against their better judgment these countries will prepare for war against Israel so as to turn the fury of their people towards the Jews. They know that if Egypt had toppled and Libya is struggling with the West poised against them, they have no chance, and hence they will go for this desperate act."

The following statements by the Israeli Opposition leader, Tzipi Livni, that there "is a connection between the bombing attack in Jerusalem and the Grad rocket attacks in Beersheba" and "that force must be used against Hamas and other extremist groups" seems to further confirm the above assessment.

"It looks as if the same extremist organizations will try to exploit the situation as a way to strengthen themselves and weaken the state of Israel, which cannot allow itself to appear weak."

http://www.jpost.com/Headlines/Article.aspx?id=213486

Please note that Hezbollah, Hamas, the Palestinians and Iran entered into an alliance more than a year ago; deciding to join and aid each other in any future conflict with Israel.

These foes of Israel have been terrorizing Israel for about a week now and do not appear to plan to cease their wave of attacks.

It actually appears as if they are  trying to goad Israel into action; to create an excuse for their unholy alliance to all jump into the fray, to come against Israel.

These many enemies may end up getting more than they bargained for....their demise, as a result of the Psalm 83 War!

Please see the following entry for details of the soon coming Psalm 83 War:

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

 Psalm 83

² See how your enemies growl,
   how your foes rear their heads.
³ With cunning they conspire against your people;
   they plot against those you cherish.
⁴ “Come,” they say, “let us destroy them as a nation,
   so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Earthquakes are on the rise...is America next??

From the recent deadly Christchurch earthquake to this week's unusual 4.7 quake in Little Rock, Arkansas, it is becoming more and more evident that the Words of Jesus, prophesied for the last days, are coming to pass before our eyes: 

Matthew 13:8 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places; there will be famines. These are but the beginning of the birth pains.

I would like to share the following, insightful analysis by a learned friend, R. Johnson, regarding the rise in earthquakes in "divers places" :

"You used to never hear of earthquakes in the central region of the USA. They were something only Californians had to deal with. 

However, they have been rapidly increasing all over the USA and around the world. Nearby Arkansas has had an incredible number of earthquakes recently.

Mississippi and other states in the to-be-affected area are currently preparing for the next New Madrid fault-line to make it's first adjustment (earthquake) in over 200 years. Earthquake emergency scenario exercises are planned for May 2011 in Mississippi.

I learned about these special training exercises because I'm a Ham Radio Operator. A number of Ham Radio Operators who are trained to handle Emergency Communications during a communications infrastructure collapse have been called upon to participate in these exercises. 

(As an aside: Ham Radio is and will be the only reliable means of communication across town, county, state, nation, and globe if and when landline phones, cell phones, and Internet go down or are blocked. Unlike phone and Internet you don't have to pay monthly fees. It's free after the small cost of buying the radio equipment. So if in your emergency planning you have neglected to address a fail proof back up form of communication you might want to look into Ham Radio)

In regards to the New Madrid fault earthquake, I have heard comments that it's not of matter of "if it will happen", but rather "when it will happen" and the general consensus is soon! Hence the importance of preparing for it now.

I also stumbled upon the following unrelated website which is promoting April 19th as Shake Out Day, billed as the largest earthquake drill in the central USA, and warns:

'We all must get better prepared for major earthquakes, and also practice how to protect ourselves when they happen. The purpose of the ShakeOut is to help people and organizations do both.'
